So, just as general info for anyone who finds this here on itch. It's incomplete, and will probably be incomplete for a long time, if not indefinitely. Apparently there won't even be an update until 2026 thanks to the new project he's working on. Current SA update is 1.25 on Patreon if you want to go pay for an unfinished product like I did. I was a fool and thought since he'd started the new project SA must be complete. Found out after paying to subscribe to Patreon because most of the messages are behind the paywall, but nope, it ain't done. He's just working on something new now and left SA unfinished and apparently SA is kind of his "main game" on SS and the new project is the "main game" on Patreon. For now. We'll see if it ever gets finished. So many developers do this. Start one, start a new one, never finish the old one. Rinse/repeat. (sigh) Keeping my fingers crossed though because it really is a great story.
It's why they do it. It's like going fishing and setting multiple lines. Then you fish the spot that's active.
The few dollars generated by the lesser games still are profitable, and they turn out content for the paying people.
On Steam, this behavior earns a game an automatic thumbs-down from me. But people are stupid enough to support Dr. Crackhead on Patreon to over $30,000/month while he makes them wait 5+ years between updates.
Most gamers probably shouldn't be allowed to handle their own money!
