I don't know if this has been mentioned before, because I've been ignoring this thread for months, but from what I see, the same problem has persisted since then: updates that don't please anyone, and a game that went from being incredibly popular to now being a meme for a large part of its original community. I think Braindrop's problem is that he's irresponsible, and I'm not saying this as a criticism, I'm saying it as a proven fact.
I'll try to explain. If he has health problems, of any kind, the most logical and responsible thing to do, with his game, his credibility, and his community, is to finish the game no matter what and continue it when he's feeling better with a sequel, Chapter 2, or whatever.
The problem is that he's constantly bathing in a sea of excuses, and it works for him, because an even bigger problem is the community he has, and here I can partially understand some of them (although fewer and fewer) who, out of pity, continue to support him in the hope that he can be treated.
In short, if he were respectful and responsible, he would end an increasingly problematic project, and his choice should be one of two: he should start from scratch with a sequel, or he should open the door for someone more active, more driven, and less prone to indecision to continue the game.
But money is a mighty knight.
