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 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?
