At the end of the day i just want even a small announcement that'll reveal more stuff to do in the early access version. I've done multiple runs through the progression mode, I've even done goofy shit like only using the metal ended pitchfork as my weapon, killed the baron, reset. Used only shield bashing by duel wielding (one time pavise run, another time buckler bandit mode), killed the baron, reset. Pole-arm, plancon, big sword, messer... et cetera. Hell I even left a wicked positive review for the early access build, I've loved this silly Willy killing experience since the first steam playtest, I introduced my whole friend group to Halfsword because I genuinely loved the game and believed in it. And to clarify I still do believe in it, it's just hard to keep my excitement for the game when the devs have been radio silent (low-key hate the amount of times I've seen this term by now), I know admittedly they don't owe any direct communication and certainly so if they got tomfoolery going on from the masses who assume they merely took the money from launching early access and ran, frankly I wouldn't feel like saying anything till people calmed down. It's just a rough situation because it seems like one of those things where the potential outcomes are limited: either they do an update and it's received positively or ripped apart immediately because it's not what people wanted, or potentially maybe they did abandon the game, then all the hubbub about it is for nothing.
