Ziptiefun never stopped billing when I supported him on Patreon only a couple of months back and I wasn't the only one pissed at the point I left. He had promised an update at a specific date. At one point he even gave a link to a empty area on a Mega account that people could check in case he put something there. Numerous times he said the update is coming on this and that week day. He went silent not answering any question on what was going on. 5 weeks after the date he still had not released anything. No one has the flu for two months. He has a normal job aswell so if something brakes on his computer he should afford to my a new part. His computer have been good enough for the games he have made this far. Sounds like another excuse to delay the game further.
Maybe not... a two month flu, but there are other forms of bronchial inflammation and infections the present themselves as flu like symptoms; covid, aids, anthrax, tuberculosis just to name a few.
Medically speaking there are many more, but I am not going write book on the types of bronchi and lung born illnesses that may or may not be from secondary flu infections or have flu like symptoms unto themselves.
When it is wholly dependent on the medical coverage one has, hell even a good doctor can miss diagnosis flu like symptoms as a lesser illness when or if it is something much worse.
Then again maybe your right and he's lying to cover for he's lack of compilation.
