At first i want to thank the dev for sharing his game, personally i found it quite interesting and promissing, i`m looking forward to see what else will be coming in the future.
Now the real reason for this post, as someone that would like to support the development, if the dev or anyone more familiar with the game could answer any of these questions, i would appreciate.
1) Development cycle - From what i saw this update took quite a while to come out, please correct me if i'm wrong but it seems like it took around 9 months between releases, Is this the expected time frame for new updates or can we expect faster updates in the future ? Apparently there where personal issues during the development, combined with the fact that this is from what i gathered, a hobby for the dev, i can understand the long cycle, but its still a hard sell supporting a game that takes so long between updates.
2) How long is the game going to be? Self explanatory and pretty much in sync with the 1st question, this is my preference mostly but i would like to have an idea of how long would it take for the game to be completed, its quite common to see devs with crazy plans with games that would take 7, 8, 10 years even or more to be finished, which again to me and many others i believe is another hard sell.
This last topic is more of a suggestion to the dev, but if i could recommend something it would be to improve promotion of the game, as i said before i enjoyed what i saw and wish to see it grow, but we cannot be ignorant of the reality of this, many of these games live and die by the support they get, i understand this is a hobby for the dev, still even with other responsabilities that take precedence, a stronger support to the game would certainly help keep this hobby going. I only found this game recently in here, now i cannot claim to know the best way to promote it, but as far as i'm aware this game is only in here and its patreon page, there is no itch.io, discord, cross promotion with other devs on patreon itself, or even on more popular discord channels from this type of game, no one will support a game they dont even know exists, even on f95, i only saw the game because it was in the last updates page, if i came in here say a week later i would never see the game.
I apologize for the long post, and would like to thank in advance anyone that answers these questions aswell as those that read it, as i'm sure they would help not only me but many others, to the dev if you end up reading this, nothing that i wrote is a critic these are genuine concerns from someone that truly enjoyed your work and if well managed would be more than happy to support you.
Again, Thank you all
