To clear up some rumors, and assure you that I am in fact alive and read comments, here is what is currently going on.
I don't want to speak badly of Itch, as they are graciously hosting and allowing sales of Archipelagates. Archipelagates however is not currently listed on search, or browse. This combined with Steam declining to sell it means sales are more or less dead.
I would very much like to do a final patch to bring the game to 1.0, but due to the fact that I can no longer expect revenue to fund it's development, I have to carefully consider my options.
It is true that I am creating a prototype for another game and have shared details with Patreon subscribers.
I am unfortunately just a guy. I was hoping one option to continue developing games for a living would be to get funding going again with a project that was available for sale, and finish Archipelagates when I was safe from running out of funds.
I hope this clears things up a bit, and I apologize for not being communicative sooner. I didn't, and still don't know exactly what to say. I am in a difficult position.
Thank you for posting this, and thanks for the work you've put in so far. I know game dev is hard work. Have you considered other ways of raising money? Kickstarter perhaps? Archipelagates is too good to let it die.
