I appreciate you sharing your opinion about the game and its progress. I remember a roadmap was laid out back then. I haven't really checked, but I feel like the release of this Alpha pack was delayed or off schedule.
But it's here now, and some people, including myself 😅, participated by buying Vials. I'm not sure if the funding will be enough to continue development, but I'm hopeful that it will speed things up. We'll see how things progress.
