Hey there. I think the last update to the game here on Itch was last November. Believe me, I would love to be able to release more often, but at the moment, it is impossible. It even got worse now that I'm trying to do some animations. If I can get back to working full time on Summer Scent, the development cycle might speed up a bit, but at the moment, it is impossible.
You shouldn't have to pay again.
