when is 9.0?
From what I know it's bimonthly and then on a Saturday, so it will have been two months next Wednesday, so perhaps expect it next week's Saturday.
Edit: I received an email containing a Patreon post where the creator said to expect the release of 9.0 to be next Thursday on the 31st. Which I have no complaints about because I was expecting August 2nd. Ride on!
Edit 2: Of course those are Patreon specific dates. But when cracking is present, can shattering be too far behind?
Edit 3: So commonly Itch.io releases occur a while after Patreon releases so it would be safe to expect a release here in the coming days but perhaps not tomorrow on the 31st. Consider supporting the game if you can! It's shaping up to be hella rad.
