That is to be expected on hobby projects. The game is free for a reason. The links that don't work are recent and can easily be gotten by getting it freely at the front page of Patreon. I am just not very active at itchio as this platform is the one I get the least traffic on.
The status posts on patreon are a service to the one who supports but won't affect anything on the game itself.
I also only want people on Patreon who support for what is and nothing else. I am not promising anything and have always been forthcome with saying it's my hobby project.
So no, not on life support nor dead or anything.
Just a random dude working on his free time to give out a free game.
