Those images do look quite good. I'm interested in seeing what they look like in motion.
It does baffle me that updates like the one posted by RM (thank you for that) are locked behind their Patreon pay wall. Even if they want to keep the "spicy" stuff for their patrons, they could just pull those out and show those in patron-only updates. The rest of the update is mostly technical stuff, and actually telling of how much work they are putting into the game. Making those public would surely make for much better publicity than the bashing on them we have now.
They don't plan on sharing anything tell they have a demo or release .6 that's why they are not sharing anything. They want to re reveal the game to the public with new graphics and a new battle system and a game that is much more polished. Everyone is talking about conspiracy theories but their marketing plan is to finish the next update asap then reveal the game.
