If the devs are anywhere near or even in a warzone, that's quite certain, yeah...
Too much crap going on outside in the real World, that can easily put creative spirits on edge and block them up. Since usually for a good story to be born into existence, it needs a certain "sense of safety" to be vulnerable enough to "listen to the Muse(s)" and bring the creative and relatively complex idea into existence...
Since with too under-complex concepts, people are far too easily getting bored - if there aren't enough layers and plot-twists, things can easily get "grindy" and too easy to predict.
Well, I hope very much, that the devs are safe and sound - and neither pandemic-victims nor war ones! <3
Cheers and hope they're alright and their cool two projects are just on pause/halt until things get better - if they ever do in our Lifetime still (yeah, there's a chance for the pessimistic outcome - "Bad End" (of all of us) - to happen, too, so I won't just focus on the hopeful/optimistic one).
These times are full of "opportunities" for "doom and gloom" - so, any uplifting story is most welcome to all of us, I'm sure...unless the creators are struggling with a challenging "story" of how their Lives are turning out. Then their well-being is far more important than our entertainment...easy and emotionally and socially most logical, i.m.h.o.
