I hope I'll have time to launch a discord server with the Alpha 3 release. Patreon will definitely be updated regularly after Alpha 3 is released. I'm also planning to give away a bonus content pack for all patreon supporters once I release Alpha 3. So a lot of it depends on that release as you can see :)
I'm slow with all the 'community work', but I'm prioritizing development right now. I'm doing my best to communicate with the players while staying focused on development. I'll hire a community manager in the future.
Thank you for your support!
