If you had asked a few days sooner it would have been possible to point to the indicator that Ykara (the creator) had been offline for weeks or months.

My understanding is there likely will not be another EPOE update by Ykara as my recollection is they barely had the free time for the 1.0 update and haven't really been heard from or seen since then aside from logging into steam on occassions.

Depending on licensing or if Ykara gives their blessing someone from the community might make an update or a mod inspired by EPOE.

Thanks for the reply my friend. Sad to see it possibly end this way.
