For what it's worth, Teary on the discord said early today:
"Bugs aside, it's taking a bit for the routine stuff, deletions and misc
Tomorrow, sorry"
I don't think that the edit on the patreon was meant to be a lie or anything since he said this on the discord. This thread is not his target audience, after all.
Still, as always... *bad* project management skills, but that's par for the course already. Tbh if the update comes out and is good, I'll be satisfied with that. I'm not losing money after all lmao (maybe I'd sub if I could, the economy just ain't what it was)
