No, not Dread, but Grind which is the updated project that is in development. You need to be a Patreon and the binary is available for download.

Looks like I should do a video on Grind given the confusion here.

Development was IIUC parked and hasn't been updated since.

It [Grind for Megadrive] hasn't progressed at all, same on the ST version. The entire focus right now is on the Amiga. Things are changing rapidly and I'd like to avoid doing double or triple the work if possible.

Could enthusiasts for those platforms help out keeping their platforms branches alive? Once caught up they could maintain their branch. Just an idea as there is a lot of interest on the Atari ST side

Don't worry. I'll be pushing more in that direction when I'll become more active after Revision.

[Cyprian]

yep, I do mean Grind.
Ok, I downloaded Grind_DarkenwardEast_v0.3_patreon_ST.

Very good, apologies for adding to the confusions!

[Cyprian]

there is no need to apologize :cheers:

I agree, i would patreon for a while to support/help get the ST project completed. But I'd want that support noted for the ST side ;-)
If that makes sense? But I couldn't afford to support on-going in patreon, I'm just not that wealthy!!! Plus the wife would kill me! ha

Thanks for sharing the Discord notes!

It's pretty clear the dev has been slow (really paused) on the ST. It does make sense for them to go the prime path (Amiga) and then update the other paths once they make it past a dev threshold. I do hope they make it to that point! It would be cool if we could identify which type of user we were on the patreon :)
