Gonna point out how technically that date already passed... so their question is valid since the dev didn't update the release date block ^^;
Sorry yeah that's the date the update RELEASED haha, 0.20 public build is coming soon, less than a week I'd say, I made a post about it on patreon but basically the patreon will always be one update ahead from now on, I'm trying to put out a quicker, shorter update because i feel bad for the public players lmao, it's just taking a bit.
honestly it isn't that bad a thing that you split it like that, it's the updating all your places that gets ya. I've seen so many that flat out forget their itchio and only focus patreon which causes a good chunk of the players to think it's dead (easiest example is What A Legend). We can always wait, we play for free anyways. But keeping the free players updated keeps them around ;)
(Personally I only started it yesterday, and I've been enjoying it a lot lol glad to see the dec responding to replies too)
New sprites?! I am intrigued. But seriously. As a free player, and I know not everyone will agree but a lot will think the same. We can wait. It's free. If I had a good enough income to sub to patreons, I would. But I'm just thankful that folks like you put out good content for free. So I can wait however long after the people who *can* pay. My statement was just an example and not a call out, it's not hard to see the last time this page was updated or when a new upload drops ;P itchio shows both.
