In regards to the abandoned tag, the only kind of communication that counts is something that can be broadly considered proof the game is still being worked on. This includes screenshots or videos of upcoming content, etc.
Look, I'm not trying to be mean here, I'm a huge fan of this game too, and I get it. Life sucks, the creative field is tough, and it's also hard to have a consistent 'product debt' to pay in terms of working on something in-development alongside your life.
The abandoned tag isn't meant to be malicious either. I don't know why people have such a strong reaction to it. It is almost always a relevant tag, and if it isn't actually active devs will get it removed really, really fast.
It's so easy to get removed/blocked in fact, that devs the community widely considers lazy/malicious/scammers have absolutely no problem keeping it off their games for years on end with zero updates outside of a 'remastered' 5-year-old CG with no actual noticeable changes or a reboot/port/whatever that basically just lets them reuse everything over time, again with no proof anything actually changed, etc.
Just relax, it's going to be fine. He said he's still working on it, so the tag will be removed the moment he releases his next content patch.
