Hey, shit happens, what matters is how you handle it. You've handled it fairly well in my mind, all things considered. It's unfortunate Melo had to back out, but we unfortunately don't have much say over what happens in our lives, much less so what happens in others'. I've been amazed by integrity you've shown in this process. Some of the other projects I've seen on here that encountered similar hiccups in development have done the opposite of what you've done, they took the money and ran with no notice. The fact that you've been keeping us in the loop, and even decided to freeze the patreon while the issue persisted just makes you so respectable in my eyes and, (once I've got the reliable income for it) makes me more than willing than to become a patron. When you're ready, you're ready, doesn't matter when that is, you've shown us a great deal of respect, and I (along with with a fair bit of the community I presume) are more than willing to return the favor patiently.
