alright, y'all need to relax a bit. the developer isn't dead and definitely weren't killed in ukraine(what?), they posted on patreon some months ago five excessively long updates on the game, information that wouldn't be known to anyone other than the developer. they are making less than $100/month off patreon, it doesn't make any sense for anyone to "steal their identity" to profit off their immence fucking riches. now if any of you have played the game, you'd know how passionate the developer is about it. there are many features that you will literally never find in any other game like this, and more to come. now if i had to bet i'd say the tjop just got lazy and a bit burned-off, which is understandable. i don't think they're scamming anyone, especially not with how they paused patreon subscriptions multiple times, but it's a shame they're not more transparent about the reason why it's taking so long. i'm sure most of us would appreciate a simple "i'm slacking off" much more than the eternal silence. but that's just my opinion, y'all are welcome to speculate.
