No, I'm not dead and the game isn't abandoned. I'm just slow. If there's ever a doubt whether I've abandoned the game or not just check my Patreon. No need to pledge either, there should be some updates or news on the game open to everyone there. I just don't put as much focus on community engagement and keeping everyone up to date as I probably should and what focus I do put in, is on Patreon, as that's where 95% of my earnings for this game comes from.
