Hey! Sorry sincerely for the delayed reply. I got exhausted over the holidays and am just now catching up. Thanks so much for your detailed support in both this post and your review (notably, the vote of confidence on the timeline, which is just nice to see someone else realize). I'm rounding the halfway point this month and I'm considering restructuring the project going forward. So, I am thinking about the Discord option along with some other things. I'll keep you all posted on any developments in the updates. Fan funding though will still be a no-go and I'm otherwise at a point where I don't need it, so I'm just going to avoid that hassle. Although, I do greatly appreciate the offer!

Anyway, thanks once more for your detailed and thoughtful comments and support.
