Well its not worth to keep your hopes high. If he delivers. IF HE DELIVERS then all of this community will be going bonkers. but unachieved hopes bring sorrows.
As verbal as I have been supporting this game for many, many months in this thread (and being heckled and insulted for doing so) IF an update is released, I know it'll be some form of redemption for him and this game. As tough as it has been sitting and stewing waiting for ANYTHING to come down pike, even the smallest step in progress is a good thing.
Then, of course, being cynical, who's to say after one or two updates it doesn't happen again and start the cycle all over? I hope that he does finish this game and I hope I have a few marbles left in the attic to be able to see that happen in time, if it does.
I've never supported him on Patreon, but I've been a very big cheerleader here. My faith has definitely been wavering for a while, so anything good happening in the next 1.5 days could and probably will restore it.
