I think based on some posts on Caro's personal twitter that he is struggling with some depression stuff, and it looks pretty serious to be honest. I hope he knows that he can take some time off the game if he needs to.
Viewing post in When's the new update coming?
No worries from me, I didn't think you had any bad intentions with your post. It's a really cool game so of course we are all excited for the next update and I was also confused when I didn't see any posts about the delay, which is why I wanted to let you know.
As for his twitter, I found it from the credits on the Tavern of Spear twitter, i think it's @Caro_Zalt.
Hopefully things turn around for him soon, though these things take time and aren't easy to overcome. I hope that he is well.
