It is with much sadness that we have to make this unfortunate report to you all.

The Pumpt has been developed with iOScythe in charge of design and Danny Akhara in charge of programming.

However, the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine has made it difficult for Danny to continue his activities due to the situation in the area where he lives and the risk of information control. This makes it impossible to know when the next update will be available.

It could be six months away... or a year... or in the worst case, development could be halted.

After following the recent news, I was very concerned about what decision to make, but since it is clear that the work will not progress for at least several months, I thought I should report it to avoid causing further disadvantages to supporters.

Conclusion

"We suggest you cancel our Patreon as we will not be able to update the game for the foreseeable future."

I don't even know if we can restart... it's a high risk, low return.

For my part, I am very frustrated and would like to struggle with this situation. I am not sure if I should wait until the situation is over…, find a new programmer…, or bring my creations to you in a new form... I am not sure which direction to take yet.

This form will not be closed yet but will be kept alive.

Regarding rewards, we will be making changes the day after this text.

No refunds are planned due to the cost of the reference books, software, and fees that were purchased to develop this game. Thank you for your understanding.

The game will remain available for download on Itch.io.

To all of you who are looking forward to the game, I am really sorry.

Totally understandable! I for my part am just here to support my friends and I will continue to do so for as long as I'm capable of doing so! Take care and take your time!

Very bad situation all around. I for my part wouldn't mind keeping my support up for the art and stuff alone, and I think I'll keep doing so as long as this patreon is still active.

AaronTPH

Oh wow, that really sucks :( It's very understandable and I am very sorry to hear about those news for both of you! Thank you for your continued work on this project though. It's been really fun following its progress and playing your game! :) I am sure, down the line, new opportunities will be created to continue or create new projects like this for both of you!

I will keep my patreon support active, in hopes of future projects. At least if and when you can get your feet back under you, you'll have some funds to start up whatever you come up with. Good luck to all of you and I hope Danny stays safe.

I deeply appreciate your willingness to take such a comment even with this outcome. I would like to give back to everyone in some way, as it would be frustrating to continue like this.

dynastichoney

I'm very grateful that you such as a comment. I hope to be able to contribute a painting, although not as quickly paced as my recent submission. I hope you enjoy them.

dynastichoney

I honestly did not expect this to happen. I wish I could give you a more positive response, but I don't know what will happen in the future. In the meantime, I would like to assess the situation ;(

dynastichoney

I am very happy and encouraged to hear you say so. In times like these, I want to maintain that I continue to create content that follower can enjoy.

Hey there, really sorry to hear this happen Hope you guys can keep this up when everything goes better, take as much time as you guys need In the meantime, maybe you could upload here personal sketches or exclusive inflation art! Would love to keep supporting your work

dynastichoney

I thank you for saying that. To be honest, I'm in a state of release right now, but once I get settled, I'd like to add more Inflation art that is exclusive to this place.
