No, players have been offering help consistently for months. This was an issue before the mod had very understandable IRL circumstances arise. I wish them and their family the best, but I think people assumed abandonment because of previous shakiness.

While this is a hobby and unpaid, as a mod you have the responsibility of communicating with your playerbase. One plurk is an easy bare minimum, if only to let people know you’re okay - it’s a crazy world and since they’re anon there’s no way to know otherwise.

Someone pointed out that if any other game had done this the mods would have been dragged well before anyone even mentioned this one. People have been very understanding of them as a new mod. It’s not a lot to ask for them to communicate.
