Dont put too much hope guys unless you want to be disappointed lol
Not gonna lie, i can already see this situation happened for few years, where the progress between each chapter became longer and longer in older version, you know why? Because paying an artist is very expensive, she probably delayed the update since the very beginning to paid the artist, unless the artist want to take a cut or got paid by percentage of what she got every month from Patreon, which is hard to do in long run.
The best great examples is none other than Evakiss herself, she got to this point because she is the one who did the arts since day one, this one thing alone cut almost all the development expenses for every updates, she even did the coding and story too, she only need to outsource things like music and something small that didn't take as much money as to hire an artist, coder or writer, this is why she can survive until now, all that money is mainly being used for herself.
But redlolly hired an artist, which takes majority of the profit she got from Patreon, she probably only earned very little every month, trying to use this as main source of income in long run is stupid, being idealists is one thing, maybe you will enjoyed it for some time, but if being idealists didnt bring you enough money and only bring you more stress, i dont think you will hold onto that much longer.
So prepares for the worst, even if she found the corner that she have been searching for this whole time and this new chapters somehow manage to release by her, it probably became the last one, in the end, no potential left for this game, unfortunately
