I understand that you are trying to help the dev your own way. You are just letting him know that if the dev is being slow with his updates it can be harmful for him in the future and you also have experience of your own. However, if I'm not wrong, the dev said that the reason for any sort of delay is because he has an artist and he can request a certain amount of art from the artist. Hence, the delay. This situation is just a big misunderstanding and hope we can be at peace now. I also believe
Mr_Palmer will let us know if there is any update as he has been doing for quite some time. So, I believe you were probably not aware of this situation and I also believe it has nothing to do with the dev losing his fire(I believe he still has it).
