Just going to ask since just now remembered this game, is there no more updates from the creator?
Not for like a year and a half? He decided at some point, due to pirating, that he was just going to finish the game without patreon. Or something along those lines.
Tbh, I think the focus on piracy really did the game a diservice. It's such a great game, but even for people paying for it, the piracy protection could be an issue. Like the time I built a new PC, I had to also get a new code for the DRM system the game uses. But to do that I needed to send a DM to Newface then wait... and wait. If he didn't focus so much on piracy, probably way more people would have played the game, and supported it's development as a result.
Now, instead, the game may never be finished. Such a pity.
I think another big barrier to people trying the game, was the long release cycles for updates. People only really had 1 or 2 chances a year to try out anything besides the public demo, I'm sure that was a bit of a turnoff as well.
