Hey all! Not sure if I opened this as public info (should've by now if not), but here's the tl;dr:
-still alive, still working on the game
-next release is almost finished, just need to go over it a few times and add in effects, music, transitions and such, a bit of bugfixing if needed, that sort of stuff. that said, all the work I did on it several months old, so while it technically needs 3-4 days to touch up and release, there's still no ETA
-patreon/subscribestar have been paused with arbitrary dates, so don't take those dates to mean anything. I have to manually reset patreon pause every month and as for SS, I just punched in December so I don't have to bother with it.
