Um... this rule, however, seems to conflict with the previous one.
The game hasn't actually been abandoned.
However, given the way the rule is structured, it is sufficient that at least one of the 3 points is satisfied.
Of course, there hasn't been an update released in almost 24 months, that's undeniable, but the developer is actually moving forward, refining and improving what's already been done and, from the videos released, creating the not-yet-explorable area of the currently available version.
I always start from the assumption that:
1) Alone, you can't make much progress in a short time, but his development blog is always updated regularly;
2) He'll surely have that small, annoying detail called his private life that will pressure him every day, as happens to anyone with taxes and bills to pay;
3) Due to increasingly restrictive laws, the project's revenue is having some problem. (Leaving aside the detail that if Nintendo decides to take action, it's over.)
However, this is just the tag of this forum, it does not correspond at all to the actual status of the project... and it could be misleading for the users themselves.
