the dev said this on their discord so here you go
So without going into it too deep. My life became hell and I couldn't focus on anything. I found someone willing to take over the project and will be giving everything out to them. The vision behind the project and story will stay mostly unimpacted and updates, as far creative decisions go, will still go through me. That was part of the deal because I want the story to be good. Everything stays pretty much the same as it did till now but updates on this discord will most likely come through them. Stay tuned things are moving in the background and I do apologize for the long wait but things were mostly out of my control. Anyway this is a really early early announcement, more official announcements coming soon when the key details are ironed out.
P.S. A small update is already finished but since the hiatus was so long I want to release a bigger update so the help coming in is a breath of fresh air.
OH and everyone who stayed a supporter through this time of no updates for any amount of time is getting a special treat in the game as a thank you.
