I appreciate your work over these six years; despite your reluctance to add project management among those game developer skillsets. 

For general awareness, by tracking only your Patreon stats, the community has paid you somewhere near $391,586 over the past six years. It will cross $400,000 dollars by the end of January 2026. And that's for the cost of living in Latin America, not Seattle. 

I ask honestly: do you not feel a need to provide something after so many years after living off such a large sum of money from your supporters? Your monthly Patreon earnings have been going down: is that what will actually force the release of an update? 

This sounds more adversarial than I intended; but we can't ignore that you are being supported financially by the same group you repeatedly tell "Sorry >_<;; I was gonna give a release date but X, Y, Z has happened.." every six months. I find it very disrespectful to your audience here, and I wanted to leave these numbers in the comments for anyone considering joining Patreon. Best of luck with development.

in the amount of time ive seen this guy take to make the game, ive seen entire games also with just 1 dev, not even using customizable premade assets create multiple games. This guy is literally just scamming his patrons.

"Based on that, you can create YOUR OWN estimated release window."

Nothing ever happens as usual. This has always been a money siphon

It's particularly telling that he has nothing to say about these comments.

Plenty has been said-- you're just ignoring the parts relevant to them because it's not what you want to hear. Komi isn't responding to most of this because he doesn't have to justify it to anyone who hasn't contributed a single penny. You think anyone would stay if they were being kept completely in the dark? No, I doubt you're that impaired. If you think you can make something better, go make a Patreon and make it happen; this just sounds like outright jealousy.

I was a Patron in the past. I know that there are updates in the Discord, I was on the Discord, again because I was a Patron. So yes, I have contributed multiple "pennies." 

I'm not talking about him needing to release information. I'm talking about how we are at six years of development and half a million dollars and we should have more than screenshots and updates about how there are no updates. Information is cheap, screenshots are great, but it has been full on years.

... Whelp, I'd suggest you get another hobby, then, because the GOOD games like this take years... just because he doesn't release incomplete pieces or parts like many others, doesn't mean it isn't getting done. If they were radio silent, I could see it, but Komi most definitely isn't. Gosh, I'm really glad I have better things to do than go to a Dev's page and try to chase off his support because he didn't do things the way I think they should be done. SMDH.
His monthly from Patreon is posted on the "about" page on the HHG site... congrats, you've "outed them". How clever. I'm not sure about crossing the 400k mark, because they guy makes less than me, but whatever.
Pretty cheap shooting, dude.
I guess I shouldn't expect too much from someone hiding behind a temporary profile less than three months old... did you make it so you could do this?

but you dont have anything better to do than defend him like hes a saint on said post ;-;  most people have been honest and respectful, especially the ones you keep replying to. tone down the rhetoric man, everyones entitled to their own opinion, just because you dont agree doesnt mean you need to be a dick to those who want to voice their own opinions, especially if any of them have anything constructive

Accusing someone of scamming is 'constructive'? News to me...

This is what Patrons do. This is, as you see, completely voluntary. Now:

purchase /pûr′chĭs/

transitive verb

  1. To obtain in exchange for money or its equivalent; buy.
  2. To acquire by effort; earn. "purchased the victory with the loss of many lives."
  3. To pull or haul by means of a mechanical device, such as a winch.

noun

  1. The act or an instance of buying. "the sudden purchase of a car."
  2. Something bought. "That hat was a wise purchase."
  3. A hold or position that allows the application of power, as in moving something. "got a purchase for her foot and climbed up."
  4. A device, such as a pulley, used to obtain mechanical advantage.

This is NOT what is going on. The product is free. You're bashing a dev that is providing a FREE PRODUCT because he hasn't finished it yet.
But I'm the asshole. Right. You're out here posting financials, and demanding something you didn't even purchase, but I'm the asshole.
... do you even see what you're typing?

Did you miss the part where it's been stated-- repeatedly-- that we're kept informed in the Discord? Are you purposely ignoring that part? We're made aware every step of the way... including sneak peeks, and more. What do you care if someone else contributes, if you're getting it for nothing? Enjoy the free product, by the way... You're welcome.

No I am not missing that there is information on the Discord, because I was on the Discord. And yes, I contributed to the Patreon so I am not getting "something for free." 

We are discussing how much has been spent for so little to be released. If you are satisfied with sneak peeks for another two years then I am happy for you. But I won't ignore that he is extracting value from his fans, I assume from you as well, and feels no obligation to return on that value in a meaningful way. 

If you support him I'm glad for you. I'm not here to discourage anyone from supporting Komisari, but they should know what they're getting into. If someone wants to spend ten dollars a month to see "sneak peeks" then they should go for it.

You made a temporary profile (70 days... really?) and posted numbers you claim are accurate reflections of what they made from Patreon, and speculated on SS. If you're not trying to discourage anyone, you sure look like you're doing exactly that. It rather looks like you made the profile so you could do it, too... on here acting like a disgruntled customer-- you didn't buy anything (if you really donated at all) you made DONATIONS you weren't even asked/expected to make. Patreon memberships for HHG start... START... at $2. Not $10. If you paid $10, that's on you, not Komi... and you can downgrade to "free" whenever you like, to stay in touch. Likewise, the Discord is free. Stop acting like anyone still paying is being ripped off... we KNOW what's going on, and nothing-- not a single thing-- is hidden.
Also... you're not purchasing a product... so yes, you got it for free.

if anyone is discouraging people, its you. i havent checked in on this game in a while, and the first thing i see is you being an asshole. am i supposed to assume you are an accurate representation of his patrons? if so thats NOT good news..

Dude posted Komi's financials here, accusing him outright of scamming, and I'M the asshole? nah. Not even a good try. Y'all are literally on here defaming someone because they don't do things how you like them done. Get a grip.
