with this game that would be very appropriate.
but if ink is doing better a good christmas present to his loyal fans would be something simple like a brief recap using existing graphics. writing a short script shouldn't be too taxing an effort. just dipping his toes so to speak. it would definitely rally the troops and I'm guessing it would convince many (me included) to sponsor his efforts so it doesn't only have to be a labor of love. with 132 pages of messages for a game without an update for 4 years I'm sure there are many potential donors ( but use SS instead of patreon)
