Hes working on script and art for update that was basically done and delayed due to gamebreaking bugs. Interesting. I remember one dev lying about having a car accident so wouldnt be surprised if it turned out to be another lie by scummy dev. Unruly has had a good record so far so I want to believe him but there is always a possibility.
"Systems" you absolute two-celled amoeba. That means he basically had the skeleton, as in, pure code, ready to go (and even then probably not entirely, considering all the bugs) and
maybe some stationary art pieces as well. He needs to then still:
- Work out the bugs
- Write the actual story script
- Animate the art
- Put it all together.
That's a fuckton of work for any game, and especially for one where the developer is basically starting from scratch. Especially when working solo.
So no, this isn't "interesting", this is par for the course for any cycle of development.
