So update cycle is getting longer and longer with each update. Its not unusual, but [Abandoned] tag already waving from afar and promising to visit soon.
It has been discussed in the thread more than enough, so you could've used the search or at least read a few last pages to get your answer. If you truly needed one.
Long story short: 1. the Author took a couple of weeks off on NYear/XMas (as everyone should!),
2. a rookie mistake of switching to a new untested SDK version to add the new bright and shiny UI that messed up the save game compatibility between the game versions. "it's not a bug, it's a feature" (c) RenPy. These kind of adventures always lead to unpredictable delays, in this case more than two weeks of wasted time.
3. the coming update is larger than your average one, so logically it takes more time to finish.
All this time we were being informed about the progress, the delays, the reasons, and the prospects in a clear and transparent way . So... the project is definitely alive and kicking and anything but [Abandoned]. Don't hex it rly
