Updates to this game or the developer's other game, Defending Lydia Collier, are based on his Patreon polls. So far, the polls have almost always come out in favor of DLC. Given how close that game is to completion (by end of year or thereabouts, IIRC), he plans to complete that first, and then he'll return to The Manifest and work on it to completion as well.I loved the game, really good, when it updates?
The dev ended up making this game too complex (too many paths intertwining) for him to keep it sustainable. He's trimmed it down considerably as of this latest 2.2 version. Were it not for that, this game might not have even ever been put on hold. Defending Lydia Collier, as I understand it, was always a story WPG had wanted to tell as well, but he shifted gears over to that game specifically for his patrons. He took lessons he learned from early efforts on The Manifest and applied them to DLC first, and then later revamped this with manageable complexity.
