He seems to be doing alright, since he posted an update on Patreon in August. He says that his editor takes a long time, because they're working on many writing projects simultaneously. Unfortunately it will take at least till the end of the year for them to finish according to NaruEver. In the meantime, he's practically almost finishing the writing part of the game, apparantly pre-coding as well as checking the overall gameplay and completing new art sprites.
I don't know whether the post is visible for everyone or only patrons.
From the looks of it, the game is far from being abandoned!
