I don't remember reading anything about them stopping for so long and that worried me a little. (Yes, I read that they were taking a short break to rest but that we would have a chapter by the end of the year.)
I've noticed a lot of projects being frozen for years =/ this is kind of complex, but this need to at least add some post even if it's just with words is nice to keep everyone aware that "they're still among us"
Anyway, I believe there are a lot of people excited since the vn is very well developed :p
