As someone posted from my steam forum post (much appreciated btw!), there is some internal delays, but it is approaching... Everyone is very impatient to get it out and be done with it, be it players to enjoy it, or devs to finally breath and stop crunching.
There is a lot of radio silence because, to avoid issues and rumors on arenus development, a choice was made to try and avoid as much as possible posting things about other arvus games.. games, even if art is done, even if concept and design are being made.
Is it the best choice ? Maybe not, but at the same time, no choice is a good choice, as posting news about other games would feel like taunting/pouring oil onto the fire, while posting no news feel like patreon abuse.
Deadlines are unmet, it hurts both peoples trust and dev reputation, and it happens, regretably. Of course, arvus isn't trying to pull a CP77 with a buggy release, the delays and radio silence from main team is purposeful to complete the game and shine it up for everyone enjoyment, be it gameplay side, story side, audio side, graphic side or simply NSFW side. After all, it isn't a simple "go in, talk to someone, fap, game done" type of game, it got multiple side quests, choices, way to interact with your companion and more.
Either way, have small animations that were made as stickers on the server, it ain't much, but it wasn't in the demo build either and so anyone here that isn't on the discord might not have seen them :
Anyway, happy holidays everyone, if I get news I can share, I'll continue keeping everyone updated
