And this is why nobody should support new devs, at least IMO. We should wait for the dev to work, to deliver content before, so we can be sure he have content planned and a REAL wish to build a game.
Otherwise he gets the small start done very well, and if he gets little support he quits, if he gets lots of support he milk the game like a mandman, delivering little to no content (lots of examples in this forum).
I think it's a sad thing, this game really looked good, I was one who would support this if the dev had commitment. Even if he comes back, leaving without letting even a message saying it on patreon or discord and pausing subscription, for me, its a permanent confission of the lack of commitment from someone.
