I might be wrong though maybe Inno is planning a huge update for 0.5 but I have no idea.
I'm not a game developer just a guy who jerks off to stuff.
As a bit of both.. Inno is just embarrassing. Gives those of us with
actual issues a bad rep. But I've never missed a deadline, self-imposed or otherwise.
The "huge update" for 0.5 will be a completely empty next town. The NPC's will have a single placeholder dialogue line, if they exist at all.
And then they'll take another year to add the inside of the town, call it 0.5.5, with a few "mods pulled into core game" updates along the way, as they're so fond of doing.
Then, finally, two years after 0.5, 0.5.9 with the town completed will drop and we can
finally move on to the next story beat.
At this point, the only way for Inno to get any faith back out of me is to switch the SubscribeStar to "per release" instead of "per month", assuming SS has that option (ik that Patreon does).
