Where the hell is the next update?

As you say, the software is completely usable in its current state. I'm using it for my game projects without any issue, and the results are amazing! 

Don't feel bad in any way. Ultimately, you don't owe people anything and the price for the software, even in its current state, is still great value. Of course I'd love to see more stability, bug fixes, improved usability, and new features, but it's much better to know that the developer is happy in life.

It would definitely be nice to see an open source version, or at the very least an option to download the project files so that the community can make tweaks to functionality and build their own version, and even submit for review. There are a few features (like masks) where it's clear that a bit of extra work would turn it from usable to great.

Either way, thanks for the awesome software, and I'll share my games on the page when they're done 😎

Hello, do you have a chance to share this software as open source? You have developed a very nice tool. It is a pity that you cannot spare time for it and it is wasted. I think it can come to good places with an aseprite-style licensing policy. Of course, you need time and people who will be interested.

Cheers for the update! The app is amazing and I use it daily.

Edit: just saw this is from half a year ago lol. Nevertheless, great tool you've made here.

:(

Thanks for the update post! I only come back to check for updates every so often, but it's always nice to see that something awesome like Union Bytes is just in limbo due to life and not dead. Kids, especially young ones can certainly bring life to a halt for a few years. Thankfully classic art styles like what Union Bytes is working with is timeless.

Just wanted to update you, that the windows version works on my computer now. It’s been two months since I last tried, and on a lark I gave it a shot. The AMD driver has updated few times since, also windows, so… eh, something fixed the issue for me.

Thank you for all your hard work!
Take your time and take care of yourself. <3

Hey, take your time :) Even if you never ever release anything else in regard to it, it's ok, because you already made something great and as you said: the software is useable, it's here, it's available for usage!

A 2 hour commute sounds like torture to me. I work from home and I would go crazy if someone forced me to stay away from my dogs for that long. Especially without pay and just for getting to the damn job.

When buying an early access product, especially at that low a price, there's always the risk of the dev not being able to mantain it as originally intended. That's fine.

If you do find time to work on it: A smooth, polished experience is worth much more than a ton of new features anyway. Take care of yourself :)

Hey not problem! there are many people who trying to learn pixel 3D art these modern days. So UPP going to be a good tools this the next future? ... well I hope you find a good time to make the 1.0 release vertion.

Your honesty is much appreciated! I’ve got family that work in labs so I’ve seen how tired that can make people. Thanks so much for all the work you’ve done so far! If you’ve gotta put development on pause (whether that be temporary or indefinite), then that’s what’s gotta get done.

I would suggest that if you do plan to end development, to allow your source code to be open. I imagine a lot of people could benefit from community development on this tool. Myself included. But of course it’s your project so if not that’s your choice

Thank you for the heads-up. Hope you'll find time to rest and breathe a bit. All the best.
