This might be a controversial opinion—but, the timing of Atemsiel's return (coinciding with itch's de-indexing and subsequent re-indexing of nsfw games) stinks.
I can't help but feel like they are just trying to continue milking their patreon supporters. And I am saying this as someone who hopes for the continued development of this game.
If he had IRL problems, I think the very least he could have done was to inform the people who were financially supporting development instead of leading them on and misleading supporters to think that an update is imminent.
As it stands, I find it very difficult to want to to support the developer. I hope Atemsiel can be more consistent in the future or, at the very least, more transparent in terms of communication
