From my understanding people are saying the Developer essentially went AWOL or something, a few people claim to have heard from him but nothing official.
There's posts about it on another website, the dev had a huge burnout and stopped developing for it for a while as they also didn't like the direction the game was going. They have started development again now.
Its all been official as its stuff thats been posted on Moolah's discord by Moolah themselves.
From my understanding with what they said on discord is they are going to speedrun season 1 to finish that part and then put in full effort in season 2 to change the game back to what they envisioned it to be.
Then if posting less frequent but larger updates the way they want to doesn't work, they will just change back to posting more frequent updates with less effort put into them
