Your frustration is certainly fair, and understood by many. The developers, however, have not cut and run. Those of us who check the Discord channel regularly, have seen messages in these days concerning where things are at the moment. We should get some updates soon! I believe that they are not as present as they would like to be because they have a life outside of NextColony. It's fair to say that most CryptoGames are not allowing developers or founders to raise a family. So far, in all honesty, I can not say that the developers are not maintaining their word, otherwise, I would have left the game. I have little respect for people who fail to keep their word. I think it is more of a question of things happening in their private and professional lives that require more of their attention. If we just have a little more patience, I feel that NextColony will bounce back from this low moment, and become stronger than ever.
