Is Varaya still alive?
That's Schrodinger's Question, there. The brief answer is "
She was active on her Blog July 18th" (linked from the original post's Patreon account button).
I totally get that updating a mod of this scope is
work. Largely
unpaid work. I remain hopeful and patient. As someone who's made a couple of mods before, I get that updating them is
loooooooooooooow priority unless you're actively playing the game.
I'm in the chorus of voices who say the game just isn't the same without it. I've reinstalled all of my favorite mods for the current version, but am missing this one enough that my playthrough is suspended for the time being. Starsector is a great game, but this mod elevates it. Like whipped cream elevates cheesecake. I can eat the cheesecake, but I'd rather just wait until the whipped cream is back in stock.
