I don't know why they have had alomst no progress in the game for more than 1 year, and the main story probably 2 years, if its for making money they are failing since their Patreon count hasnt moved almost since they started the game, it has gone down a bit actually, so if thats the "tactic" its a failed one.
I think its probably because they have development issues and don't have any more story or art for the game, but the worst part is that they don't communicate with their fans, they write almost nothing, and no explanations, so I think the development is failed.
Still, I really hope they can somehow get the game back on track, I think the biggest step in the right direction would be to focus on the main story that they had from the beginning, Jack being a witch trainer, and the last post might indicate that, but we'll see. If its from Jacks perspective I support that, as long as the main focus goes forward, its a good idea, but we'll see how it plays out, most of their promises has never materialised.
