Regrettably, this accurately summarizes my thoughts on the matter. Certainly a bet I'd be MORE than happy to lose, though.

Thank you for the update on his twitter activities!
Seeing that he at least has some sort of activity there is definitely a good thing. At this point we can just hope that him seeing another naughty game like Echidna Wars thrive will give him the urge to continue this game aswel.
However... it is difficult, given all the stuff that he has been through in the last 2 years. Especially, since one of his messages did sound like he completely abandoned this project (from about 1 year ago).
If he can get interested in something like Echidna art it is a good thing in any way; even if that doesn't mean new content here...
I wonder if someone creative here can motivate him with some good Labyrinth of Estras art...

However, since you made it sound like there was no progress since 2019, I recommend checking the summary of changes of just between 0.6 and 0.8 that I wrote 3 monthes ago (post #1438 of this very thread). Asimofu puts a surprisingly large amount of work into new versions that might not be instantly visible to the player and that is not always mentioned in public posts.

Any day now.
Yeah, I've read that post. To summarise:
- wolf girl: bug fixes
- gameplay: you can throw boxes now
- ui: reworked 3 or 4 times, end-screen implemented
Of course you can give me a wall of text filled with insubstantial changes. It might look impressive at glance but there is nothing to it. 95% of these noone even noticed, UI changes included. Some RPG mechanics were touched but, again, noone saw that "HP boost from leveling" (it doesn't help if you can beat the game in ~5minutes or so). Instead of adding another weapon he also add option to... remove your only one. And I used box throwing feature twice; it's clunky, not worth it and noone asked for it.
You can also list changes you really care about, put them together and say "wow, it only took him 6 years to implement!" and then realize just how much he fucks around.

You guys are seriously arguing about whether a game has progress... When the developer might be actually fucking dead?
It's a miracle you're able to type with IQs that could be tallied on one hand.

Man is not dead. Someone mentioned last week he recently retweeted some echnida wars art..
that said, yeah lets start with the basics. Is the artist well enough to work on the game? He had some family and health troubles last I checked. Maybe the spark just hasn't returned yet.

To be honest I thought he was done with this game sense his last update...but it's good to hear he is fine. I won't beat a dead horse and hope he will come back just hope someone else can make a game kind of like it in the future

Protip: ad hominem doesn't have to be factual yet it works best when you have something witty to say. Preferably combined with reading few posts before replying so you won't embarrass yourself for the 10th time.
From the Latest Ci-en post that i checked. He said he was hospitalized and in rehab. I'm not fully sure if the translation is correct but that explains why. His last post update was on 2023, august 23.

The fact that so many Japanese developers and/or artists often have health issues, while I admit that I don't have the evidence to link it in this case in particular, show a not so often talked about issue in Japanese work culture. I too wish him the best, even though I don't judge nor blame people for disliking him and the fact that he's allegedly a racist xenophobe.
Also, let's keep our expectations low, as he updates as often as Komisari, who's being called a scammer for simply abandoning his game while keeping his Patreon with false update promises.
