Thanks for the feedback! I've always been meaning to make an open chat, but it has been a little rocky when posting to other sites. They don't allow open / unmoderated chats probably for a good reason, and I had assumed itch was the same. The only good use a chat would have would be for the public servers to talk to the other players, and I would have to make two separate versions of the game to post on itch vs the other sites. Unfortunately, I don't think a chat will be coming into the game anytime soon unless some rules change.
