I assume the abandoned tag is because there hasn't been an update? It isn't abandoned unless someone on the team (Shilo, Barteke, PhantomBull, etc.) has communicated so, the latest update is actually being beta tested, or at least waiting beta-testing. The issue is/was simply having the person in charge of releases have life take priority.
I say that, because while not on the Dev, I am actively helping develop the game via making events and literally we are working on stuff, the stuff in question is just a merge between the event and code side at the moment.
Aka, we literally have a new release for people to play on the discord server, it's just not fully balanced or have every last bug fixed.
