I was following one developer, he also disappeared for a long time and when he returned, he decided not to take a break this time until the release of the free version and simply gave everyone the opportunity to download the new version.
1. Great example.... of an entirely different person that did their own thing, unrelated to Scarlet Games
2. This one never disappeared lol, this is a normal amount of time between releases, given they now are a quite sizeble amount of work. Just look at the previous times it happened.
