An official warning sign should finally be put up here, declaring the game to be abandoned.
I think you can report the first post in the thread at this point and notify the mods this way it now qualifies for the "18 months with no actual update" abandoned tag. But tbh, not sure how that works.

Crush achieves a breakthrough

Transparency Report 5/5/25: "More detailed metrics should be available in the next report"

Transparency Report 5/12/25: "I just slept through most of the afternoon. Maybe I really am fucked up"
I honestly think that his last report was the most honest thing he's ever written. "I jacked around, didn't do shit, there's a profound disease eating my soul. See you next week."

Honest question, people keep saying that the game will be officially considered abandoned on the 24th because that's when the "18 months since the last update" term ends, but he did upload the "Zero Kate Thirty" mini-episode, does that count in any way? I know it's sort of standalone but it's the same character and world, and he did say that he will include it in the Life Path, so it's technically canon content, so what are exactly the rules about it?

Even the mini-update is already 15 months old. Furthermore, it's all just recycled content from versions around 1.3, up to 1.6. I'm not entirely sure anymore. It's just been too long since I played it. And I'm getting old. Alzheimer's says hello.
Basically, this is probably the fourth or fifth revision of the same old content since 1.2.

Lifepath: increase lifepath, decrease lifepath, cut lifepath, lifepath was a good idea, let's put it back in (in a significantly slimmed-down version), increase lifepath, lifepath, increase it further (announcement), adjust lifepath (announcement), lifepath was a good idea, so we're bringing it back in, lifepath needs to be adjusted......

By now he must have written so much that even the 24 books of the Dune cycle would only be light evening reading.

It's side content not released as part of the official "game". Also how exactly does a few fanfic style pages of Kate being a warrior in the Middle East fit in the story timeline? Finally, experience has repeatedly shown that Crush saying he will do something is totally meaningless. Believe it when it actually happens, not before.

FA can and should be proudly wearing an abandoned tag in 10 days.

Today he thanked the Discord for their patience and apologized that everything had taken 'so much work'. I think what he meant to say was 'so much time'. There's absolutely no way there's been 18 months of actual work put into whatever he releases next, whether it's good, bad, or indifferent.

Have patience, he's making the new Expedition 33.

You will all be sorry when Crush releases the next update, and its the game being ported to Unreal Engine + 2 new chapters.
That would undo all the work of the highly praised lovely Victoria.
On the other hand, then Crush would have another excuse for a two-year hiatus, because all the outfits have to be redrawn. And another two years, because they also have to be integrated into the code.

See you again in 2030.

It's pretty hilarious how a majority of posters on his Discord these days are openly mocking him. I'm not saying that constitutes a majority of his Discord members (it certainly does not) but his normal vociferous supporters are pretty quiet these days.
God I'm tempted to chip him a buck just to read the Discord lol.
