...which explains the recent increase in time between updates.I have been working on a new game on the side
...except when I could be working on Guilty Pleasure, but I work on my other game instead.The first priority is and always will be Guilty Pleasure
It is the right thing to do. Better to have a dev with a plan on how to keep their income when the game is complete, than a dev who will have to milk their one game forever because they have nothing to fall back on....which explains the recent increase in time between updates.

What increase in time? There is an update every month, even the (small) sizes are the same as before. For me nothing has changes there....which explains the recent increase in time between updates.

Get the "old" game done, put it up on Steam. Work on the "new" game while earning income from Steam on the old game. If the old game is even remotely good, they'll make a lot more money than they ever did on Patreon.It is the right thing to do.

Yeah, the updates are exactly the same not sure any of these folks have any legs to stand on...What increase in time? There is an update every month, even the (small) sizes are the same as before. For me nothing has changes there.
The only thing I am not really happy is that the new game is a sandbox. Not really my type of gameplay and a complete u-turn compared to Guilty Pleasure. Probably time to move on for me after this one is finished.
I agree with you, sandbox, freeroom aren't my type of game, so after Guilty pleasure I will jump the ship too...Yeah, the updates are exactly the same not sure any of these folks have any legs to stand on...
Same with you, I enjoy this game, but as soon as I saw the word sandbox, I got to say I'm probably out.

OK, I was really joking. He does release exactly on a 1-month cadence. That tells you he's always working ahead but only releasing content at steady pace every month. What he's doing is really the fairest way for both creators and subscribers to use a monthly subscription model like Patreon.Yeah, the updates are exactly the same not sure any of these folks have any legs to stand on...
These people aren't dumb. The new game needs an audience, they lose that if people stop following the old game before it comes out. Not saying Kalya did it right, that new game should not have been released in any form if he was going to just prioritize the old game for years. I'm hoping Quonix does it right, put a little time aside here and there to get the new game further along, and have something good to grab people with just as the final updates are being released for GP.Get the "old" game done, put it up on Steam.

No, but almost all of them don't know how to run a business.These people aren't dumb.

I wanted to say "Are you new here?" but 7 years old, so you should know that this is a fking miracleI'm not sure how much of an achievement it is to put out updates consistently...
Just search how many complains it this thread, that there is no choice. Now they will get choices.Cannot understand why Devs keep going for sandbox? I'd imagine sandbox games annoy most people.
