From what I know, the dev used this project as a learning tool. Something they decided to make to learn about game making in Ren'py. Then, they got hit with some kind of personal issue and drop off the face of the earth.I don't think it is a scam but is seems like it was doomed from the start. I think if the dev was so unsure if it was something they actually wanted to do, then they probably should have worked on it themselves for a while before even releasing what they had. Just to see if they were in fact going to continue. It wouldn't have gotten peoples hopes up and the dev wouldn't look like a slacker or silly, for lack of a better term. They have the skill to do it but they seem to lack motivation, which is a shame.
While the game was (and still is, admitedly) really good, the fact is it wasn't thought as "I'm making a full game !", but more "I want to learn, so I'll use a game for that". Which is also why, apparently, there never was a Patreon or anything of the sort.
