It’s a sad state of affairs for sure. I’m still plugging along with my Paper2D game, but it’s making me more and more nervous I’ve made the wrong choice in Unreal the longer we go without updates. Even just some words of encouragement from EPIC that it is still on their radar would put my mind at ease.
It’s a shame seems to have dropped off the face of the map. I notice he’s logged into the forums as recently as yesterday from his profile activity date. But he hasn’t posed in any thread since August. 
Perhaps if we post some progress shots or other more flashy items we could get some more recognition? I think if EPIC sees people using the tool they will give it some more attention. We could have people post some pics here, or maybe push everyone to start project logs in the WIP forum with Paper2D in the thread name so they stand out?
