For everyone interested, the reason why development stopped for 0.17 was because Patreon decided that the "rape" scene was a violation of their rules and as far as Steam goes, I heard a rumor that they either were following suit or that their was a problem with their native home in Turkey, which has been cracking down in Internet commerce. Other than the Devs, no one knows if and when development will continue. If I hear or read anything, I'll be happy to pass it on.
