It is really good. Such a shame he isn't working on it.
He is maybe discouraged because of a low Patreon, but come on. Publish content, then people will join. like wtf.
According to graphtreon, his peak earnings were over 3k a month, and were around 1500 last time this thread says the game was updated. It's worth noting, however, that the 1500 he was making around the time of the update was more than double what he was making in the months prior, where it appears he hadn't said a thing between June 15th, 2020, and February 28th, 2021.
Essentially: he disappeared, most of his patrons disappeared, there was a resurgence when he actually picked back up for a bit, then he disappeared again.
The project wasn't abandoned because it wasn't making any money, it stopped making money (or at least, most of the money it
had been making) because it was abandoned.
Also, to be clear, I'm not ruling out the possibility that something could come out in the future, there's even precedent for it, but it'd be splitting some pretty fine hairs to claim the game hasn't been abandoned when there hasn't been any sign of an update in 8 months.
