no he's still working on it from what i can tell on discord. just no more dev logs until further notice. so the game is almost close to a new update
As opposed to other games that are on hiatus for years. 2 months isnt really a worrying amount if time to assume the game is abandoned. Secondly, when he says for the year he meant the year of 2025. I say if we don't see anything by February or March then I'll be inclined to agree with you, but for now have faith.
