It was on discord, When I saw this thread, I joined discord to see what was happening. i search "The update is making good progress, but it's not around the corner." the next line he said was him defusing the complaints by using threats which was effective. A joke nonetheless but for people like me who's new here who expects a bit of professionalism. That was a bit disappointing to see. Removing the date isn't accountability, it's erasing evidence. thats just damage control. and Kal apologized? where?

thats because youre not understanding my point. by free, what i meant is that Kal is not developing and making all the effort for this game for FREE. Patreon is exclusively for crowdfunding not for charity. Yes Kal is a human, not an angel who would do this FOR FREE. He is literally paid to do this. I'm not trying to pressure Kal. I am all for waiting but it's kind of sickening to see stans of a developer guilt tripping people because of Kal's unprofessional approach here. He literally planted the expectations to people and when accountability was needed because he missed it, he instead threatened to drop this game entirely to silence the complaints . It is pathetic to excuse such a fragile ego /poor work ethic just because you're personally willing to white-knight for him. especially when he's getting paid for it. 

what i just wanted is for you stans to not gaslight people and silence them. The outcry is justified. Delays are fine, silence is not. Kal could literally announce the release date to 2027 and people would be fine with it as long as they could get an update. 

im new here so i dont know much of the history but checking whats public and available. it is kind of hard to believe what you say when every posts and pages of each games of arvus games, starmaker has significantly more engagement than any other games of his. Starmaker has 2k ratings while every other games of his dont even amount to 1k even if you combine them all. his other 2 games dont even amount to 200 ratings. 

from what i dug up. Roundscape 2 was announce on 2023. based on graphtreon. Arvus game's rank on patreon is tanking. Arvus games literally was on their lowest point on july 8 2024 ranked as 184 on patreon. Starmaker story was released on July 24 2024 and arvus games from then on he gained traction. Arvus game's rank rose from rank 184 to 105 now. Roundscape 2 was announced in september 12 2023 and from graphtreon you can literally see he gained no money after he announced it. in fact, his earnings kept tanking

So yes, this is crowdfunded. this game is literally what's making him money. This game is what's making people click his patreon page. Not RS2, not RS1 or any other game of his. You can literally go to https://graphtreon.com/creator/Roundscape and check it

let's not kid ourselves. the patron membership in the patreon is literally advertising starmaker as a selling point. Not to mention, we are in a sttarmaker page. no one here is waiting for RS2. it is undeniable that most of the reason why people are donating to Kal is because of starmaker story not RS2. Starmaker story is the one making him money.  so to say this game is free is a stretch. People dont donate for charity.

people here always guilt trip people here with that "free game" narrative. Kal set the expectation in the first place so ya'll cant blame people for being impatient. Using the "free game" narrative to silence frustrated players is incredibly dishonest. You can't be annoyed at people "pestering"  a creator when they ask why a date they chose was missed.

Im with you for the waiting but all due respect, this aint a free game. people dont donate to patreon for charity. This game is a crowdfunded game. I agree Kal is doing us a favor but Kal aint doing this for nothing. He is paid.
