from the store, they've also been quoted saying the SFW spin off is dead as no one wanted it. The below is from Pasix but there are other quotes from Helius on this:
I believe they also originally made some claims about outsourcing this? It's hard to keep track though.
Anyway given that they were working on single player in various forms for so long without ever really showing anything I genuinely just think it's beyond them.

I imagine any gameplay loop designed by these guys would be a Kafkaesque monstrosity, if they could even get it working in the first place.
Unless it comes hand in hand with rock solid and tangible evidence I'd personally assume anything Helius shows off or talks about is complete bullshit designed to try and keep the Patreon going.
