Hey there! We can assure you and the rest of the community that work on the game continues and will continue. This has been a passion project from the start, and we all were aware of how difficult indie game development can be going into this. We had a rocky start and several years where we tried to find a direction and build a foundation for the game.
But while progress has been slow indeed (due to many factors throughout development which we've talked about in the past), one thing that always stayed the same is our passion to carry out our vision. After all this time, the team is still together, we're still just a bunch of good friends working together in our spare time, dealing with our life problems, slowly making this happen. It may take some more years, but all of us in this team still believe in the story of Yarin and are eager to see it through.
All of the money we receive from Patreon goes straight to the creative people in the team to ensure they can continue to produce content for the game. Even if we make slow progress with it, that money still helps out people's livelihoods, especially those in precarious circumstances (such as an ongoing war). Which is why we continue to be incredibly grateful for the community's support.
