I'm sorry I didn't find this sooner as I'm actually enjoying it (although I'm having trouble reading it for long periods of time). It is a huge project, that's true - especially for a solo developer but if you really want to continue to work on, you still could. I doubt anyone here would mind longer wait times between updates (well.. not years, of course). Just break it up into chunks (ignoring sound entirely - that should be done last anyway). Nonetheless, if the project is permanently dead, while unfortunate, it is also understandable.
