Understandable, I personally just don't want to add yet another Discord that I won't be active in, and I don't have a good income to warrant paying for a Patreon sub in general so I typically don't look at Patreon links. Upon checking the Patreon though... most updates are all locked behind the base pay wall. I have seen other Patreons at least freely allow people to see the update notes or something, so like... Due to me being poor as fuck, I can't exactly see anything in regards to updates. Which leaves this page still, which has been neglected ^^;; pair that with other comments also saying stuff (like one of the replies that you even responded to above this post) it kinda makes sense why I felt like the game had died. After all, the last news thing posted on this page was over a year ago >_>;; and like... there hasn't exactly been any new update either. Regardless, doesn't change that I am happy to hear this isn't a dead game, it is really well done and I look forward to updates and next parts to the game :)
lil P.S. bit: have you considered putting like... older versions for free but current version as a paid for option on itchio like some other devs do? It would potentially help you as well as keep the players in the loop? ^^; Specifically for folks like me who can maybe make 1 payment vs a paid subscription...
