Smash's biting sarcasm aside, John, it's far from unreasonable to expect some measure of professional conduct from someone who is taking money for a product or service. Requesting or even demanding that SD keep his clients and customers informed by properly maintaining his storefront and Patreon pages on at least a monthly basis would be par for the course and understandable even without the long silence broken only by one or two comment threads spaced out over more than a year following the last update.
Yes. That, I agree.
Monthly or maybe a bi-monthly basis is ideal and more than welcome. No need for players to hunt for their Patreon and enter their Discord but..
^sigh^
..it is what it is, I am afraid.
Edit: The developer has stopped updates for Polarity for the foreseeable near future. I have checked but not thoroughly. The indie developer and another are putting effort in their joint venture game, Radiant, which isn't free.
