I want to reach out to the people who supported me on Patreon.
I want to warn you that in the near future I will reorganize my page, as well as reset and re-create the list of people who supported us. The reason for this was the duplication of names that occurred due to the regular change of nicknames. As a result, some Patrons never made it to the credits, while others were mentioned several times.
I want to apologize to all the patrons who still haven't found their names in D'LIRIUM. But this does not mean that I do not appreciate your help, - thanks to your funding, the project changes so much from version to version! Next time, I will try to take a closer look at the name table organization, but from time to time, such purges will occur.
And where is the Golden Rogue?
Rogue development stands still. We want to finish D'LIRIUM, and finally get out of "Early Access", there's not much left. This is the first reason why the development of the prequel is slow, and there is no news about it at all.
The second reason is that many technical breakthroughs were made in Golden Rogue, and then transferred to the main game. In the main game, these breakthroughs have developed significantly, and we had to transfer them back to Rogue again. It's difficult and really slow.
We reviewed our approach and decided to work in the opposite direction. It is easier and faster to finish D'LIRIUM, and then transfer all the developments to Golden Rogue, so that we don't have to go back. I'm sure it's a good idea, but what do you think?
