last post on patreon was new years eve..
last public post said this :
Just released a teaser. As for EP9's development. It's going is all I can say. Right now render count is at 714 renders. And the script line count is over 5000 lines. (for comparison EP8 had 595 renders and 4200 lines). EP9's render count will prolly break 1K before it's done.
So yeah... I'm a broken record at this point but still a while yet.
