There will be updates! Probably not soon but we are still very much alive.
Sorry for the delay, I saw this post as soon as it was put up but I've been away at my day job until now. That's sort-of the case for all of us working on the game, but we are slowly working on things!
We we want to have finalized graphics in the next update, a bunch of dead-cells-style tech-development has been happening in the background to make that happen. There's not a ton show until it's all done at once and we release our update.
