You should try it, it's delicious. I'd like to point out some things tho:
- make sure that the pita bread will not fall apart;
- buy it from a place you can trust, because food poisoning after eating shawarma from "kiosk around the corner" is a meme at this point;
- meat > loads of sauce IMO and homemade shawarma is just so much better.
Procrastination is a common problem among creators around the world

Quick Resume, his brother has Cancer, so Unruly need to double his IRL work to help his family, its a really big update, pretty much a remake from the ground up , he said he'll shadow drop the update when its done. Its not abandoned at all, just that the update get caught in more serious problems, he even paused patreon payments due to this events.

knowing the people in this site, they will call unruly scammer regardless eventually
Which really sucks, because A.) this is technically a pirate site, even though Game Devs upload their games here. Which means that the people on this site don’t really have a leg to stand on. And B.) Unruly has been upfront about everything almost all of the time.
I followed the news closely in April, which was said by the author... the update is ready, I'll release it in a couple of days, then the author said the update is ready, everything is ready, but I have a problem in the code, I'll fix it right now and everything will be great, more time, he says that I want to do everything differently, I'll redo the whole game, there will be a remake, more time has passed, there is still no update, he said his brother is seriously ill, now we are waiting for another year
What is it with this game in particular that makes people so impatient about new updates? Most of the other games I follow here don't have someone going "is there update?" every week
Because there was a good update release cadence before this year started and the update's been getting teased since January without a release. Unruly's reasons are of course valid (even if he just got burnt out and quit that would still be valid, tbh, it's his game he can do what he wants) and he's done right by pausing payments but I think it's best to assume this one is on indefinite hiatus drifting towards abandoned and be pleasantly surprised if we hear otherwise.
I mean, he openly stated he is planning to release it this summer. That's not an unrealistic schedule, all things considered. I wouldn't expect it to drop it this month, but by August/September? Yeah, if everything he says is true (and he really is sticking most of his free time into this as he claimed) then an August release isn't out of the question. I'd consider the game truly abandoned if we don't hear anything from the guy for multiple - as in three-four - months.
But right now? This is actually par for the course for an indie developer working solo. Hell, fucking Gunsmoke Games has a whole-ass team working on his bloody thing and his release schedule is even more sporadic.
It is even a wonder he has the time, patience or good will to actually communicate back to his audience about the state of the issue since yeah, shit like this will get you swamped beyond reason (and that even excluding the psychological trauma from the sickness and the probable extra hours he needs to do on his job).

Yeah, the guy is obviously a perfectionist that bit off more than he could chew but right now he gave everyone a very clear definition of what he wants to do (split the game into multiple parts, start small and proceed from there) and actually followed through on his promises to cancel the payments - which is honestly more integrity than a lot of developers in the scene.
Tell me you never worked in gamedev (or tried to combine an intensive hobby with a job) without telling me that. You try developing a game, from the ground up, solo while at the same time trying to support your family with your job AND going through such a traumatic event as a brother (not even a distant relative) suffering from cancer.

Oh man, don't even start with this shit. Each time when I think that "Sunset and his damn pal can't embarrass themselves even more at this point" they put on their clown make-up and begin to pull some of the most absurd excuses out of their asses than before. It's amazing, really.

Basically the same post went up on Patreon, with the added nugget that he's restarted billing.

As expected, he decided to take it slower, give himself more time to actually streamline the code (which was probably the biggest issue so far - when you're programming it all from scratch, like he does, and learning as you go there is a fair chance you'll be stuck with spaghetti tape) together with looking for beta-testers and creating a channel for ideas.
Nice to see him continuing to stick to his guns and trying to be as friendly and communicative as possible.

Damn I guess no updates huh? I just hope it's a one-off thing. Yes I know his personal life and work are the cause of this but still, reading the comments here, seems like this is the first time he this stuff happens. Hoping he doesn't turn out like the other devs...
I have criticized the author a lot, I have the right, but I must also stand up for him, what I wrote above, I do not renounce my words, but if we figure it out, the author does not owe us anything in this topic. He writes his world, his picture, and shares it with us, if an update is released sometime, we'll just say thank you for a good game, if not, then we'll just be sad.. There is a great Russian writer Nikolai Gogol, he wrote and burned his work many times, something came out into the world, something did not, but he did not do it for money, let's just wait, and hope that the author will find his way, which will please us as well as his other updates, he knows better
