Hi everyone!
First of all: we apologize that we have been so quiet! The game has not been abandoned, and we are still working to bring you new updates. Many factors contributed to this delay but the main one was the change of jobs of our lead programmer :). As you may know, the title is being developed after hours and therefore we can't rule out further delays.
