Well, good enough, I hope his health recovers so he can work on perfection and release it, waiting for something that might come in years is better than waiting on something that will never come
I wish I could share your optimism in regards to the perfection bit. Don't get me wrong, I want the game to be as good as it can be and I want them to take their time, too. But... At this point I'd rather something than nothing.
Know what I mean? The game already looked miles better than most, both in graphical fidelity and in writing. To strive for something better is great but the cost has become apparent:
No actual update in a year and a half
No dev comment on Itch in almost a year
Latest Patreon post where they describe their fight with it (perfectionism)
There's a handful of games I follow that ended up on hold indefinitely or outright abandoned because the dev would chase perfection (Sylphine being a prime example). They've all followed this very same path and I'd hate for this to share the same fate.
