I think we can safely say that this project has been abandoned, no news in ~10 weeks makes it pretty certain. Sucks, as this game (despite being pretty wordy/back and forth at times) had some decent potential. Definitely needed some better direction, but hey, what game doesn't? Also, as of ~5:15pm EST on 04/27/25 the dev was scrolling through this thread (we can see that unless you turn that feature off) so if we've gone this long without them chiming in one way or the other I think that seals the deal.
