I haven't seen any information about this game anywhere in a while, and I was wondering if it's still in development or not. In any case, whatever the answer, I doubt there'll be any news for this year, but all hope is never lost.

You are right in that hope is never lost. I am still working on the game, but I did take an extended break for mental health reasons. I hope to post an update soon! I'm sorry this game has taken so long! Thank you so much for caring enough to make this post, it does give me some asssurance to see it isn't forgotten!
