He still interacts with people on Discord, and I think Skummy said they'll get back to it when the project manager gets back, or bring someone else on board if if they get confirmation that that won't.
With the obligatory caveat that I'm only a Patron/member of the Discord server and have no affiliation with the project or team, I can confirm that work on elements of the game is occurring on a daily basis, however due to the illness of one of the most senior team members, work some of the most important foundational elements of the merge is delayed.
BlueCat is still active on Discord, and is continuing work on storyline elements for days 22+, so that when the Month 1 merge is able to be completed, subsequent updates can be released in a timeline similar to the one that had been established prior to work beginning on the Month 1 merge.
