I'm gonna break my own self-imposed "don't engage, just keep the lurker account for downloading" rule again, and say that this dev is a goddamn treasure.
After 4+ years maintaining an Android ROM in another life, and dealing with end users on a forum not unlike this one... Most people I know who actually create something for their communities get burnt out BADLY by all the entitled, self-important complaining people who aren't even paying money. Or even just on the "ugh, why did they have to find THAT bug, now I have to FIX it, aaaarrrrgh I just want to be DONE with this release already!" times.
To see a developer who is willing to be so friendly, conversational, forthcoming with support, doing regular bugfix builds on projects they REALLY want to file away as complete, still using complete sentences, and generally not just withdrawing into substance abuse and/or non-stop sarcasm & derision... ESPECIALLY on what's ostensibly a pirate board...
Hot damn. Support this person.
You will be hard-pressed to find anyone else willing to do this level of community engagement, for free, in your life.
(Guess I need to make a second Steam account for all the things my kids are NOT welcome to discover in the shared Family Library )
