The good thing about this game is at least the update and new contents coming steadily. That's why it has its current fanbase as it is. The developer will deliver, that much is for certain. But, with the speed they are going right now, I honestly don't blame anyone who has lost their interest on this game.
If you want to get into game development stuff, however, I honestly encourage you. It's better to start somewhere than nothing at all. Even I am right now still struggling with RPG Maker and Unity, entertaining the idea of creating a dungeon crawler or Visual Novel, and I am completely a noob without any background in programming. The more time you put in, the better you will get, at least that's for sure.
