Hey, dibdob1!
The development was frozen in late 2019. I sometimes doing small bunch of changes related to game code, engine code & level design, but I cannot say that the development in active phase. And its only in free time ofc.
The team still doing games but more bit more small scalled than this project. We also doing outsource work for foreign game projects that are under NDA at this moment. I still didn't find the time to make properly done translation of latest news related to the Lost Story from RU to EN which I've posted in 2020-2022 as postmortem for project. But you may check them with automatic translator on official VK (russian social network) game group: https://vk.com/hl2loststory
The itch.io page is mostly for showcasing. So please be known that it probably never will not be released any time in future.
- Vladimir.
