I've always benn really into this game and I was even a patron but the lack of infos and the total absence of communication made me quit the support. I'm sad when I think about this game because it is really cool and with those last images I was sure that tht would have been a great update.
I wrote to him on discord asking how he feels, if he's getting better and he said he didn't give up the game so we'll have to wait (again).
I don't know, once he wrote he was working on a team so why nobody's working on this project? Because there are still a loto of paying supporters on his page.
