Nice to see that we're finally getting an update, though I do wonder how long it'll take to get to the 1.0 release if this update took nearly 3 years
To quote the dev back in the days on the discord, he said that this update would take a long time because it was a rework from the ground for the internal code and other shenanigans (i'm no dev so i'm not that sure about all that's impacted by that), but that it would set the ground for a more stable base, and that next updates would be way faster as it would just be implementing more content onto it, rather than rewritting it all
Also for people that are downloading that 0.2 version, keep in mind it's a beta version of it and that it was meant for the discord server to get feedback and bug reports, so you're bound to find bugs and such, but the dev is at work on fixing it. Don't know if he will check bug reports here tho. (also yeah, it's 0.2, not 2.0 as the uploader wrote)
edit : that's also why the game is still labeled as "abandoned", but once the dev is done fixing the beta version, they'll upload it proper here and can get the status updated as well.
