I'd welcome an update, even if it's merely a version where the CG's are reworked.
Real life happens. At least the dev is in this thread keeping people updated on the situation, which is much more than the majority on this site. lol
And as an artist, I fully understand how that is. Life gets in the way, then burn out and loss of inspiration....
But, if "festival season" is referring to simply Summertime, then maybe we'll see an update by the end of the year.
