A quick update
🕑 Added 2016-10-14 18:17:13 +0000 UTC Hi all,I'm a bit under the weather lately. Work is proceeding on the next release, but slowly.
I'll be replying to everyone about PMW ideas soon and the vote itself will be later this month.
I'm going to say that the deadline has now passed for submitting new ideas. Over the next few days I'll be making sure I've a good idea of what everyone is asking for in the requests they've already made, but I won't be considering any new ones made after this post was written. There's already a significant list of voting options, so I think you'll find plenty to choose from and I want a little time to get the list together without new things popping up..

Same here. I have just reduced my donation from 20$ to 5$. I don't want to abandon the game completely but by now it simply feels like burning money. I might consider raising the donation again if I see any sort of reaction i.e updating more often than once every quarter-year.

I hate to pile on, but I did the same thing after my suggestions to be more transparent were not replied to (and based on current level of communications, ignored). Actually, I think I'm at $10, but after this round of voting I'll drop to 5, or maybe just move on. It's not that the game isn't fun or that I dislike the updates, because every update has (imo) been fine, I just don't feel engaged with the project anymore. The cheats are really nice, but not $5/mo nice. My suggestion for the $20 reward was something like a weekly scrum style update (what have you finished since last update, what are you working on now, are you blocked?) Okay, without being part of a team the "are you blocked" isn't super useful but I want to know that this money is actually buying SO time to work on the game. (Side note: I can't be the only professional software dev supporting the project, so we could give some limited advice even without having source access). I dunno, I'm definitely not getting enough value for my money and without more engagement the goodwill that kept me donating until now is going to run out.

Some good points here. I raised some of these concerns a few months ago and basically had no response. Because of that, I reduced my commitment for the first time from $20 to $5. This is a great game, but I also feel the development has become increasingly troubled since we have mostly seen minor edge case scenarios added, rather than deep / wide new additions.
