Glad its not abandoned anymore. Did the dev say whats going on?
The only info I could find was the post from May. I'll paste it below just in case you missed it. The silence on the Discord and the almost 12 months of special renders on Patreon is a big clue to the state of the game. Looks like its permanently on-hold.
Hi all,
An overdue update, which I probably should have done a while ago. Progress isn't being made as quickly as I'd like, so I've paused the Patreon billing cycle & will keep it paused until the next release.
Like a lot of projects, this one started in the early days of the pandemic, when WFH was the norm. Now that things are "back to normal", I find that I have a lot less time & energy to spend due to other obligations. Unfortunate, but it is what it is.
I can't put all the blame on corporate, though. There have been a number of my own creative frustrations in the way as well. I will work through them, as I've worked through every other obstacle, but it wouldn't be fair to keep taking in the process.
Thanks to everyone who's stuck w/ the story so far. I know that Episode 5, when it releases, will be the best yet.
