Don't worry. It is not a joke and will actually be used for something... At some point.

Also, yes. I'd like to mention that due to life circumstances I don't spend all my time on the game. Still the progress is sometimes being made, the majority of additional and unnecessary stuff has been implemented and it only leaves the story events to be added, so there is nothing to ring alarms for. I know that the next demo is taking far more time than expected, but please be patient. I'm sure it'll let you look at the game from another angle :>
