One can only hope that something's happened that DRG hasn't felt to announce publicly, and that it gets resolved and DRG will be all right in the end. I legit start worrying about some developers when you don't hear from them for a long time.
Right! Too many weeks were going by without any message from the dev. Not a good sign...One can only hope that something's happened that DRG hasn't felt to announce publicly, and that it gets resolved and DRG will be all right in the end.

Most do game making as a hooby so there's no backup plan if something happens in their lives. I do know devs that have partners but most are just part of a development team. And you never hear from them 95% of the time, they just go about their business and dont have direct knowledge of the dev personal lives. Bit it does become a concern when no one is saying anything, and the dev isn't even on discord, or any chat channel.that's why you need to keep a next of kin in the loop or a partner and a good health care plan you are precious to some of us here
This seems less and less likely everyday.
It's definitely abandoned. The question now is, will it ever be taken up again?
Not sure whether to "Like" your post or not, man. On the one hand, it means DRG is at least able to move forward, and that's always a good thing. On the other hand, it would mean Astrid won't get anymore love, and that would be sad. So I guess I have to go with a thinking face.
We've been waiting in hopes that he will make his glorious return. Honestly pretty amazing how many pages this thread has for an abandoned work so maybe he'll realize how much he's been missed
There's been an handful of games I played that were labeled abandoned on F95 those threads remained pretty active and the same issues brought up in this thread were on-going in those and at some point the Dev's did start getting back in touch with supporters, even continuing with new updates, revamping the game, or just putting it on hold and moving onto another project.
That would also mean the dev would lose more patrons due to just disappearing on an awesome project only to resurface with something totally different. How could the patrons trust the dev, at that point?
Whether you choose to trust someone or not is a personal matter. I'm not saying it wouldn't look bad, but strictly speaking, you have to choose for yourself whether you would trust DRG or not. But it is a choice, not just an inevitable outcome of past events.
I fully understand the logic behind that. It still doesn't answer my question, though. How could the patrons trust the dev? lol
