Well given how you always seem to procrastinate and have an excuse nearly every flash why it's taking "longer than anticipated" I think you can understand how fans are frustrated. Especially the patrons where as it seems nigh nothing is getting accomplished. I don't see why you don't at least release a beta build that's at least 33% of the way done to show some sort of progress. If you're curious as to why your fan base has dropped drastically over the past years it's because the work you put it often feels minimal. I get it, you sometimes don't want to work when you get home, maybe even after your actual job, I don't know if you have one or not though.
I'm starting my own dog training business. I don't always want to work more after I get home from work, but I do it, because I want to reach my goals and pursue what I enjoy.
Animopron is making over 15k a month from patreon. That's because he shows proof of his progress, has a weekly update that is well thought out and gives his fans "demos" of his work.

Well, I don't release betas because that's not how I want my flash projects to be experienced. Besides, my flash projects are nigh unplayable until the final touches are added. It's not the same as making a movie. And if I show off too much, there isn't a lot left to see when the final thing is released.
I'm pretty much solo-ing all of the animations and art stuff myself, and there's a lot of effort going into 'em. Things that takes days to tinker with that most people won't notice when playing. I might not be the most efficient person in the world, but I absolutely hate to release things that I am not happy with myself. I don't like being stressed out either, hence why I don't like setting deadlines for projects. Perhaps saying I was aiming for Halloween was a mistake too.

I agree on both sides, you can’t expect your fans to be happy about how the progress is going, you basically throw the fans scraps and expect us to stay around. But I do understand how hard it is, but feels like your depressed and have no enthusiasm with anything.. bla, all I see is people complain, and I understand it perfectly
