Well, I think this is one of the devs that has constantly delivered good quality and quantity since the beginning of the game
It is true that he is not maintaining the (impossibly fast!) pace he had at the beginning, but still he is working solo and I suppose we have to understand that people have real life issues/matters.
Even if I might get as well the game for free, almost at the same time as the official release, I will personally try to support this dev when possible, as I love this game (characters and story) and some delay will not change that
