I've known about this game for just some months, I'm not a follower of the first hour, and it's far from being the only game I follow, so the news about it are drowned underneath news from other games, some that share news way more frequently. Not to say I didn't see them, but that in comparison this one doesn't look that active. I wasn't saying the game was dead, I was asking for confirmation that it's still being developped, because I just played the demo and I really liked it.
do you prefer hourly updates on the status of the next chapter, or actual development work on the next chapter? this appears to be a 1 person operation, and digi_b, so far, has turned out a pretty high quality product, with regard to story. i'll take well conceived storyline over frequent updates, any day. even if there are 2 or 3 people, behind the scenes, helping develop it all. some devs like to talk a lot about what they are doing. digi_b sees to prefer doing it and doing it well.
have you played beyond chapter 1? or are you talking about through chapter 4, when you say "demo"? the first part is good, no doubt. but this story actually gets better as you progress. and for chapter 5 to get better than 4, it's going to take some work, so it's going to take time.
