Has anyone heard from the dev, are they ok, how's have game coming along???

Putting a Souls-like flavor of difficulty in a game like this is beyond me. I tried the elementalist. Aiming is bad. Enemies are way too difficult for an intro. My magic does little damage while I run out of mana quickly so I'm running past most of the enemies (melee doesn't feel great either) and then I get to a boss (that was quick) and he stomps me. I got one health shrine but hearts give you little health. I got one Mana shrine but orbs need to give more mana. I want a fun, relaxing, mildly challenging...

the game looks cool, but a mouse is needed, no idea why you don't give the left button rather than the J, and if it does let you use a mouse, I cannot fine how.

Its nextfest and you would think your demo would work But there is no demo

This game doesn't really seem meant for thieves. Played thief on my first go and it just doesn't seem really worth it. Let's start with what sneak is presented as. Sneak is a mechanic where you use the sneak button to attack an enemy by surprise, stunning them for a little bit to give you free attacks on them. Enemies react to seeing you as well as sounds they can hear. But sneaking seems really unreliable, which I imagine is due to having low stealth (which isn't a stat, just from gear) at the beginning...
