I just discovered this game and I thought the first episode was superb. Very well made, I am a big fan of the artstyle so kudos to the creator.
I am disappointed to find out though that it hasn't been updated in awhile and looks like the Patreon is only bringing in $300 somehow. There are far worse games out there getting far more money. I'm guessing it ain't coming.
I understand your perspective but the main reason here (I believe someone else already said this) is the lack of feedback/comment from Erosion itself.
Not just here also in Patreon.
I could even consider spending 1 dollar to send a message to the Dev through Patreon to actually confirm if I would receive an answer, then again, it might just be a very vague answer.
This is why you see other games with more commitment from donors, quality wise or not.
Because it goes both ways.
And yes, "death" as this project might be I would really love to see it return from its grave.
I don't know if there was ever a game to release an update after this period of time... let's hope so
