Exactly my thoughts. When did the dev elaborate on his health issues?Perhaps I missed it in this thread, and I hope you don't mind my asking (tell me to mind my own business if you do) but.... what illness do you mean? I also feared the worst when the dev just seemed to disappear.
I saw this post from Banish on the previous page and from what he describes on his Patreon page he talks about getting sick. This happens in or around May, which also kinda speaks to what he might have gotten sick with as well. Are girls really the only ones that read the threads before posting? LoL, just kidding!
It doesn't help that his last post was "Don't worry, guys! It's totally not COVID!"Given the timing, one could assume it's COVID-19, but I don't like making assumptions for a variety of reasons.
(I don't need any help making a fool of myself, I can do that just fine on my own.
Ah, I hadn't seen that. So we're back to square one. Kyla_Angel hasn't replied (and may choose not to, not a problem) so I just hope the dev really is OK and on the mend from whatever it is.
Look, I'm not saying he definitely had it, but speaking from experience, I didn't know I had it either until I showed positive for antibodies. I felt a little under the weather for the first week or so, then it went from nothing to "My dad caught me getting fingered in my room by my crush" grounded in a day. Couldn't get the energy to leave the bed, winded if I walked to the next room, feeling like I was gonna die. It is VERY possible, and fits the information and timing that he though he had the sniffles, took a few days off, and by the time he realized he was in trouble was in over his head and was thinking about mortality instead of updating a Patreon. Everything from his post seems to me like things spiraled out of control fast, and that's what it did to me, so take it or leave it.
I don't even blame him if he does have it. I'm just saying it makes it difficult for us to piece together what's going on. Still hope he comes back.
Glad to hear you're doing better. Just remember to stay safe out there and to take care of yourself. Especially since they found out that the antibodies decline after time, so it might be possible you can get sick again (so much for the herd immunity the non-believers were putting their faith in).
He's either:
Or...
very unlikely, he completed 65% of the v0.25 update in 16 days, so its highly unlikely that the last 35% would take him almost 2 months to finish. He has also never gone beyond 2 weeks without posting an update on patreon before, so its clear that something has happend.
Yeah, I'm of the opinion that either 1) he is really sick or 2) he has quit. In all honesty I lean toward really sick. He was doing great, had growing support, and a lot of interest so it's unlikely he just quit without communicating. Definitely the best game that I fear is or will be abandoned. Hopefully we will hear from him soon.
Sometimes these things happen, like with "A Family Venture" where the coder D.S.-sama has returned after weeks of radio silence and WillTyler was worried about the game being able to continue.
