He missed his deadline for the update, November 1st, better work in the game than post excuses imo.

Just wondering. Those of us that have been here awhile have seen many great games fade away. I personally think once you hit the 4 or 5 month mark, its time to be concerned as a fan.

Hopefully Chainzero is just hard at work and too busy to post here or his Patron page. It would be nice to at least see a single sentence on his Patron page. Something line, "Hey everyone, still working on the next chapter, hope to be done on schedule." If I were a dev accepting money, I think a weekly status update, even a few sentences if you can't bring yourself to write more, is much appreciated by the fans and supporters.

He does have some personal issues, including family members (mother), based on his latest update (a month ago).
Hopefully those things will end good for him, and this promising game will continue its journey.

Been doing some game cleaning on the PC, remembered this gem and came to check up on it. It's been a while since the last update, but in my book, a great game like this can take even more time, I'd rather wait a month or two more, than to see it dropped. Hopefully all is well with the Dev and his family, stay safe and good luck!

As Abhai mentioned he has some personal problems. He doesn't respond to my messages either. Strange because he always answered me. He and I have always been in touch for a long time. Just know this; ChainZero would never leave his game if he didn't have a more serious problems. He is a great guy and I see him as a brother. I hope he and his family doing okay and we'll hear from him soon.

On most cases (like this), seeing the amount of patrons supporting a project, I think that game's developing on early stage would be only some kind of part-time hobby (nobody can live with only 500 bucks a month today). So a DEV will spend so little time on this hobby despite there's another job that pays the bills and personal issues even involved. It's what it is and the only way is being patient..

I really hate to be Mr.Skepticism here but if he were to lose half of his supporters he'd come charging back in with a response. So many devs have done this, they make promise after promise and then they just disappear. It's nice to see that you guys want to support and believe in him but really it only takes 2 minutes to go on patreon and say "hey guys, having some trouble working on it" or something along those lines. If the update doesn't drop this month, I'll never support it even if he starts updating consistently.
