Looks like it's on Patreon,

I guess Helius may have gotten a bit panicky at Patreon subs dropping, without even recovering mid-month, and actually done some work.
Doesn't seem like much of note though and seems they're still planning on trudging ahead just chucking new character models in without reversing course on the grind/gacha, in which case it won't make any difference. You could add a thousand playable characters but if there's no core gameplay loop and it costs more money and weeks of repetitive bullshit to unlock anything nobody is going to give a fuck.
Yeah probably, he even graced us with his presence in the discord server and answered questions for the first time in like 6 months, incredible (sarcasm)
And from what he told (sometimes indirectly) people :
- his devs are leaving to get jobs at famous gacha companies (he mentionned 2 went to work for Hoyoverse) because he doesn't pay them well enough
- turning the game into a predatory gacha hellscape was necessary for the project's survival
- microtransactions will be implemented as soon as possible (when the close beta ends probably)
- the next character (Elizabeth) is planned to release in july (but with his track record, this is a very bold ETA)
- campaign/combat drills is planned to release this year (yup, that's even more difficult to believe)
Some info about Galatea :
- her addition to the game is still uncertain (even though Helius told us months ago patreon/steam accepted her but they need to curate her content)
- apparently patreon and steam are stalking Helius' public accounts and all the places related to the game to look for Galatea/illegal content
Oh and 0.72 is still bugged as fuck
The framerate is, as always, absolute trash and averaging 15 to 20 fps in the station with a lobby of 5 people
