Unfortunately she's been postponed for a later update, but definitely somewhere down the line. Unknown as of now.

No, its' just Mecha being rather slow. A demo's planned with a new engine, but Mecha and time expectations is like Oil and Water.

I admittedly have to work on the amount of additions and changes I dedicate to a singular update and, of course, estimating how much time it would take me, though it is far from abandoned.
Mecha is switching the game to a new engine so that has taken most effort, along with all the extra stuff they have planned on release of 0.3. we are probably getting almost twice the amount of content that we normally get with a content drop. please be patient.

Ah, typical. The infamous "engine switch no one asked for" instead of just piling up actual content.
Heard the same in many different game threads before, growing quite stale at this rate.

from what i could tell it was requested. if you want to goon. goon. but dont go complaining and being impatient about a game you are probably going to get for free.

Why was it needed anyway? I'm no programmer but to me, old engine worked fine enough. I'd much rather focus on adding more content, but yeah, then it wouldn't be as easy to come up with excuses for stalling updates.
You are just sounding entitled. "if it's not broke, dont fix it." leads to no improvement and in this case might make it harder to program content later down the line. From what i understand the old engine was limiting to program in and the install was very outdated. With the new engine we will have better time updating our games and it wont limit the creators freedom.

When testing part of the new update on the old framework, many things were breaking including assets not loading, sometimes the game even failing to load and cross platform builds were very much an issue. Compared to the now public version, there was exponentially a lot more bugs with that framework which ultimately made me switch.
Another thing is that this transition to the new framework didn't at all take me long. You can totally criticize me on how much work I dedicated into one single update which has caused a lot of delays, then you're completely in your right, but the framework switch was/is not the issue. Since initial testing a couple weeks ago, the switch has only proven to be the right choice.
Either way, it is not abandoned.
