No, you remember correctly, the dev keeps recreating sections over from scratch to milk for longer I guess.
The change from the earliest versions I played (game was entirely centred around the MC being aboard the spaceship), to what we have now is one that just comes down to a change of plan. Some changes to current sections were needed as their content/mechanics were overly ambitious and caused more problems than needed, but those were a long time ago.I do not know if this is done on purpose to "milk for longer" or just just because the dev likes to try new things, but it is true that many parts of the game have been redesigned over time, not only in the 2.x demo but also in previous 1.x versions. I prefer to think that there is no hidden agenda and that the dev is honestly trying to improve the game.
In any case, I am very happy that the 1.12 version was released because it does not require Unity and it can run in any browser, contrary to the 2.x demo that I cannot run. I hope that the 1.x series will keep on being maintained and improved for a looooong time.
The sections/chapters we've got now have been basically the same, with smaller changes, but some relatively long-standing and glaring issues have not been resolved at all in favour of changing things that seemed to work fine for no discernable benefit.
I wouldn't say there's any milking being done, just that the dev seems unable or unwilling to commit to a specific plan. This has been happening since before the dev went onto Patreon.
