Hi everyone, Max (aka Regal Pigeon) here.
First of all, I'd apologize for my lack of responsiveness over the past two years. I want you to know that I had every intention of expanding Neophyte, but since its early access release a couple of life-changing events happened: my employer closed, leaving me without a stable source of income, and an unexpected, sudden illness and subsequent death of my mom, which depleted my savings during a time when I wasn't able to work.
While Neophyte sold much better than I ever could have imagined for my first commercial game, it unfortunately wasn’t enough to sustain long-term support and the way it was coded made adding new content time-consuming and prone to crashes and bugs. I've had to take on other work to support myself financially, which has left me with no time to work on Neophyte. Therefore, I will be releasing the game out of early access shortly without any updates for the foreseeable future. However, I am glad to say that this isn't the end of my game development career.
Thank you to everyone who supported me and played the game. I’m truly sorry that I wasn’t able to realize its full potential. It has been a life-changing experience.
