last updates where more than a year ago so i would assume this game is dead ?

Over 8 months and nothing new to suggest game hasn't gone the way of the dodo. I understand real life issues (having them myself), but if they can't be sorted out over 8 months, then yeah....odds are scrapped to focus on those issues. Maybe it'll come back, maybe not....in either case, I'm moving on....

The reason i ask/say that is because its been more then a year since its been updated but the Patreon version has had quite a few version added from what I've heard from a friend

Does steam not provide updates for Breeders of the Nephelym. I am currently a few versions ahead of the current steam version, Which hardly makes playing this game on steam not worth wile .

It's coming up on a year since the last update
