This guy has been reworking this game for years, a game which people already liked as it was, and let's be honest a finished game would have been easily possible if the dev only kept making his usual update. With this information I think it's easy to see that the dev is only trying to delay the project because he thinks he can milk more money out of this. Like bro just start a new project who gives a frick, the game could have been so much more but here we are with a half ass abandoned project, the dev losing supporters from 32k+ to 28k and going down. Git gud.
