No. There is a time a he ghosted for about 3 months, because of a family loss, but then came back. Then he was active on Discord, and even exclaimed he had an update almost ready to go; however, he disappeared soon after and never came back.
Apparently, the author really abandoned his game, because I recently contacted him, offering to help with the game, but he was not interested and after a short correspondence he stopped responding altogether.
With gems like this one I wish the dev could accept to leave the project to someone able and willing to bring it forward. it's such a pity to lose it like this.
That applies to this game and many others.
A few posts above, Smirniy said they had correspondence with the dev, but had no interest in continuing Blurred Lines.
As for him being active on this site, more than likely it is him using his account to do the same thing we're doing; nabbing VNs.

I more so meant "announcement" as in a Patreon post or a thread post from the dev themselves notifying the public and patrons that the game is dead and they should unsub from Patreon. I just find this specific situation unique (no public abandonment notice from the dev anywhere when their accounts are still verifiably alive). There are many examples of devs abandoning their games without notice, but they also abandon all their accounts with them (some devs probably make new F95 accounts). Keeping your community members in the dark is just odd to me; after all, typing "I have quit this game's development" takes about the same time as logging into F95zone does.
