I remember when this was released here. Dev said he had previously worked in the entire game and had it almost completed, all offline, and somehow lost everything (I think he mentioned keeping the 3D models or art files for dozens of characters that would help and save a lot of time) and had to start from zero. Mentioned encouragement from people who are close to him and started from zero, but this time sharing it here.
At the beginning, it was updated really quickly, a lot of content each update, it was amazing to see.
And, now I feel like it was all a elaborate lie to do what most Devs do, a game that never ends, sometimes restart, but mostly stays without updates after patreon gets going.
