This isn't the place to be asking about that, but I'll tell you nonetheless:
Lacto is currently being handled by a seperate team of devs who, for various reasons, have only recently gotten back to working on the game, but have been making decent progress ever since.
They post regular updates on our Discord server but I don't think that most of that gets all the way to Itch, so I'm not surprised that people here don't know about that.
