Haven't visited the thread in quite a while, but did notice their crowdfunding sites seem down. I wonder what happened? For Patreon, the project probably ran afoul of their ever-changing rules. Ah anyway, I read a post from Binary that development is on hold.
The team's scenario writer.
Gaussian left now only Fracture remains.
What? I don't know where you got this info, but iirc, "GaussianFracture" is just one person and is the team's artist.
And since we're talking about the team, Elvishious was the programmer for
Afterglow.
From Digteren's screenshot on the previous page, one of the devs said that they''ll be back sometime this year. I suppose we'll see and hope for the best. It's not like some of us are eagerly waiting for certain games to drop an update after a year or two, or certain webcomics to return "soon" since 2002, or sitting around with a baseball and glove for their father-figure to return after they said they'll be "right back" from the store to get some cigarettes... We just got to have faith. Right?
