There was suppose to regular updates years ago. On this site he told people he couldn't code for a year because he injured his back (I guess coding is a full contact sport now?) while in a Youtube comment reply it was a different story, that he was busy with other aspects of life or something. I'd dig through all the youtube videos and comments and pull that comment up but really i don't want to waste anymore time on this. Then during the kick starter they said there would be an updated version of Spriter 2 in January. Nothing. They then said this "WON'T be a long chain of delays". They said it's been pushed back to February. Here we are at the end of of February. Actions speak louder than words. And these actions are blaring through a megaphone, silencing the sweet nothing words, which seem to only appear when they can get more money (Kickstarter campaign, now silence). On top of that they didn't even reply to your reasonable comment. We've been waiting a long time, where's the accountability. Because of these facts i think you should mentally cut your losses and separate yourself from the idea that Spriter 2 will be usable to any industry standard any time soon. Based on the lack of conviction behind their words, reflected in the numerous delays / inaction it might be likelier that they just abandon the project and drag this on as long as possible.
That's one of problems with pre-order products. Take too long & the money runs out, their release profit margins dwindle and the main motivating factor for business ($) isn't present. You're no longer working for the money because you got a very large portion of it already.
