Put simply, this project is (publicly) indefinitely on HIATUS.
I won't waste too much time with some fancy yap, so I'll try to summarise it with a QnA:
"Wait, what? Why?"
Two reasons.
First of all, DTBL seemed to have a sudden surge in popularity in the past 3 months. While at first that was awesome, it also significantly affected the mental state of many team members as well as myself. We overworked ourselves, constantly trying to rush things out to show, or add another song/addition to the game to try and keep the players invested. I am happy to say DTBL is undergoing a full revamp (as you can see by the beautiful art by @JustaNeon .) Quantity =/= Quality, even though all the tracks made by our talented musicians have been amazing. For most likely a long time, expect the SoundCloud to receive little to no uploads.
Second, my personal life. I've noticed over these past few months, I've sunk almost my entire life into this project. While having passion for something is fine, I also have realised that it is vital to have more things to do in your life than just be "The guy from Youtube who has a DUSTTALE take", so I'll be reducing the workload on myself until I've sorted my mental state out.
"So what's going to happen to the project? Is it dead?"
Hell no. This project will die when I do. Me and the team are simply just going to work on the game away from public spotlight apart from our discord, which you can find here:

As seen in the previous devlog, our team members have already made amazing progress! Occasional sneak peeks and showcases will still be available in our discord.
"So where's the sneak peek..."
there you go.
