Take that up with this forum's moderators, then. The exact quote from the moderator who marked the thread abandoned is:
And frankly, given the activity pattern for this game I'm inclined to agree with the decision. Until a new update to the game is posted, this thread is likely to retain its abandoned tag unless a very compelling reason (that isn't "the developer says they're still working on it") can be brought to the moderators.
Same here. Another game I follow DID had an update recently but it was not a full build, just a pure animations test one (But still a build), and due to the nature of things and the last "full" build been released a while ago, game was marked as abandoned where I can asure you it's in current development WITH constant content updates from both the dev and the artists involved in the creation process of it. While Derelict has been dead silent from months with the excuse of a UI overhaul while the other dev from the other game is overhauling all these, among others:
- Game mecanics up to the very basic things of combat and encounters.
- Full new artworks and possibilities on certain characters.
- Entire new animations being 100% modified to the base style they had before while recycling the previous ones.
- Entire code being redone by scratch and optimized.
- Some character types being changed so much that they almost count as a new different type as a whole.
- A lot of other extras. All while the artist is on a big across the seas family move.
All this considering that the other game is much smaller and has less income + followers in comparison to BotN. It would be unfair to keep this one as still "active" and the other "abandoned" when the opposite is VERY true.
And dont even get me started on the quality of the updates. I still cant get around the idea that most of the aditions of BotN comes at the cost of locking behind "game progression" previously available from minute 1 stuff.
