You are missing an important piece of information (which was an issue even before the Patreon thing), about my "burn out". I was struggling with being tired and kinda bored of working non stop on the same thing, that's why I decided to pause the campaing on Patreon, so I could rest a little and think of a way to overcome it... not that much time later Patreon put my page under review. So I had to spend that "rest time" on negociating with the patreon staff and find a way to keep the game and my income alive. This is all old information already stated and repeated in this thread and Discord. Once the Page was up, The Manor turned into a passion project, demonetized, and free in all accounts. And I started to rush work the concept of the second game so I could have a playable demo eventually, so I don't lose most of my income.
So to answer your question: I'm working on both, but prioritising the demo of the second game... because, even if I made the decision of not compromising the Manor's content, everything will mean nothing if I lost all my income. Once the demo is up, I will split the work in half. This will ensure I get a paycheck (luckily) and help me with the "burn out". ( I asked a few other senior developers and most of them said that working on more than one thing helps a lot).
I get people are impatient, but now, as I said, is either wait or don't, the manor no longer have a monthly subscription, so I don't have to rush to have montlhy content, hell, I could even not release updates and just wait unitl the game is finished, but I won't. I didn't quit the manor, I made a sacrifice for the sake of it. I don't like censorship, and I CAN'T make everyone happy.
So again, wait or don't, it is your choice.
And about the "don't ask for the update" rule: after more than 50 people ask for the same thing and you have to give the same answer, leading to no-where... you kinda get tired. That's why I made the rule, and now, it is even more useful than ever... just follow the channel on the server that is there for news... if there are no news there, then asking for it has no meaning.
ALL of this was already stated Ad nauseam here and on discord, if people are so invested on the game, then spend a little time looking for the info that's already there.
