Few quick words
For those who worry, even if technical issues are distracting us, we are constantly working on new content and features. It's just things aren't ready to be published yet. And if our comittment to some bugs seems baffling to you, please also remember that the game has a relatively large audience which makes even quite obscure bugs ruin people's playthroughs on daily basis, in other words if it wasn't important, we wouldn't prioritize it.
I wish, more than anyone, that progress on content was quicker, but we're doing everything we can, and I truly think that the team can't grow any larger without introducing risk.
Finally, if I ever make a vote on Twitter or Discord about some potential refactor, I think some people assume this is our main concern at the moment and nothing gets worked on besides that particular issue. The case is very opposite - the votes are usually about low priority improvements that we're considering. But if you expressed your negative sentiment in the reviews please know that you're not being ignored. And for those who support with patience - thank you.
