Yeah, Crusoe had it easy was good. As for developer he is gone for more than 5 years, I doubt anyone knows why.

Edit: But there are suspicions it's connected to lasterk (the artist) who also went mia around the same time and reported health issues a bit earlier.

Edit 2: It seems like Marblesyrup is sometimes active on newgrounds but I think he is trolling. The more recent reply from him I found is this:

Another reason why people here he is trolling is because of his patreon banner:

Troll face is probably not a coincidence, and he still has over 100 paid members with 5 years of activity (that's why western system of supporting devs with monthly subscription sucks).

Edit 3: There is also this so think aboit it whatever you want:

wow you dived into the rabbit hole, seems like he is just screwing with people. Crazy that they still have paid subscribers after all those years without anything new to offer. That's like the people who count the days since an orc massage update i really hate patreon dudes who just pop back in once a year to say they're still gonna release and never do. starting to feel like agent 17 is heading that way but i'm still holding out hope. i've seen some developers really stick to their guns and actually release some good stuff with barely any info. I'm still waiting on hollow knight silksong so i got a lot of patience.

I can't blame this on the system, frankly. If you're giving money every month to someone who hasn't produced anything in 5 years, you're either 1. a very generous charity or 2. irredeemably dumb.

I just can't get how someone can be paying that many years, don't these people ever just casually check a bank statement every so often. It just seems so odd to support something monthly without rock solid consistency and communication.

I've read about re:maid, but never played it.

I have found myself wondering if some of these people are, like, dead or catatonic or something, and the monthly money is coming out of a bank account or PayPal that their next-of-kin/caretakers don't know about or have a password to.
