Regarding the news, yes the mushroom area was scrapped, there will be no expansion (unless the developer releases a DLC) but to be honest, I don't think so.
Regarding the disease, I think it has been going on for months. If not, I will do an investigation and let you know.
Regarding the new game, I don't know if he is working on it, I can only give certain "conjectures".
After finishing Setalia

Uzura was already working on Luterallia and conceptual art was already being seen for Ruby.

It literally only took a week to let us know that another game was already in production or that the game already had concept art too advanced to reveal the tentative design of the MC.
I had even made a gif of the character being inactive

(I think even her penis is less censored or maybe it's me(?))
The truth is at this point I don't even know what to think what Uzura is doing, only God knows, maybe she spent the month playing Armored Core VII or I don't know, but if not, I agree with

It could be something big. It could be good news for me and for those of us who are waiting for the update and bad news for you because you will have to reprogram and the truth is that it is lazy to do it all over again.
or good news for everyone since I would say that there is a new game being developed.
I just hope that Uzura is fine, really.
