Funding isnt an issue. you probably arent aware of his patreon. people can also support it here and other places too. the biggest reason its taking so long other than the fact hes practically a one man army making the game is that hes dead set on releasing each major chapter in full, rather than parts with monthly updates like alot of other devs do. And during that time hes making a bunch of other qol improvements to just about everything else. The story is very long, if you havent already noticed from the prologue, it takes alot of time especially to develop this kind of content on your own, and its not even about defending the dev, its just facts. Im surprised at how alot of devs in general do it. Personally I couldnt do more than 2 lines of code without screwing everything up and having a completely dysfunctional result. It has been a little over a year since the last HHG update, but i love the game and anyone who feels the same will have patience and wait as long as we need to for the next huge update to come out. Honestly the longer I have to wait the more pumped I am ;D
