Am I missing something? All I see is "Failed", no "may come later"
Also, changing page feels bad because it doesn't snap back to the top. I'm not sure I want it to snap back to the top, but maybe snapping back to the bottom would be nice.
I do agree about the scroll though, especially if people use the option to make pages longer. I've added a simple and quick scroll to the top of the list in that case.

It is called open access, has Linux support and drm free, with aim of a gog release.
From the FAQ it looks like a Linux build is already available.

Successfully funded, but unfortunately no response from the developer in three years.

OMG!
Seems they are doing a PS5 game, which likely took a ton of their resources away from the game. Sad.

The developer column is empty as well btw, which is "Owlcat Games".

(They said the same thing on the last Kickstarter's news, which you see only if you're a backer.)
Despite the fact that a Linux release was promised on the Kickstarter page.
As a backer, I'm angry.

At least, this should be noted here.
Do we have a list of "Kickstarter Scammer Developers"?

Thanks Liam, as always.
Speaking of refund I don't believe it, as I already have the game on GOG, I think it would be difficult...
