Mango´s words on the most recent patreon post:
"Hello everyone, thank you so much for your interest and support for the game!
First, we sincerely apologize for the long delay in the Spooky Milk Life update.
However, this does not mean we have abandoned the project. Development is ongoing, and it’s taking more time to deliver a polished and complete experience to you all.
To make up for the wait and offer some new fun, we’ve prepared a demo for SPOOKY NIGHTMARE.
Rest assured, this will not affect the Spooky Milk Life project."
Believe what you want, i personally feel that he just addressed this is just for how close we are from going a year with no update(last update released on september 30th of 2024), maybe it is true that the team is doing its best and all but they are not fucking team cherry doing silksong for doing this levels of "ghost"developing
