I just looked it up, and to my dismay, it has been about 8 years since we released KTK!
Damn, life gets busy. 
Jason and I (Cooper), live in different states, and both have other full time jobs/family obligations, so without a sudden influx of cash into both of our lives, we'll have to make due with a new HGWBL project once every blue moon. I'm still working on some larger long term projects, namely a multiplayer cowboy game. You can follow the progress for that on my patreon, but it isn't something that will be playable online in the immediate future. Thanks for being interested and playing our game! It means a lot to me when I log on to itch.io every few weeks and see that people are still playing and enjoying our little games.
