So what is happening?

Nov 19th was the last time Shyla posted any news here and August was the last time Shyla posted anything in the steam community.  Steam discussions are all locked not allowing the community there to voice any opinions or concerns.  I REALLY like this game but it is never a good sign when a dev suddenly goes dark.

It's pretty common to see News and Announcements posts locked. Grounded Discussions and Bug Reporting are both pretty active, and the bug forums are pretty routinely answered by the team.

Nov 19th is also less than two weeks ago.  Unless there's some critical patch, the target has been for monthly-ish updates.  If you'e got a specific concern, you can use this page to reach them, or hop in the official Discord and chat with the Community Managers.

In the last big update they also said that due to player feedback, they have decided to take longer to put out updates, but make them much larger. Trust. They are working very hard to keep content coming out. It takes time to make a masterpiece.
