It has indeed been a while! I honestly almost gave up on it.
Being honest I don't agree on your previous format where you only gave news to the paying visitors at the patreon as many of us live in other countries and even 1 dollar is too much sometimes so we choose to not spend too much in hobbies like the USA does.
But if that's what you needed to keep developing, I hope it worked. Can't wait to see the full product and if needed buy it once, one time.
