ok so here's the history.
the dev had a... rather unfriendly conversation with their player base on F95 and the game was considered terminated after the dev clearly stated they would discontinue.
The game had little to no significant update since last year and the dev posted more ads than actual work on patreon.
I'm not saying there's no chance the game will come back alive - since the main dispute was still about money - but I suggest don't put too much faith in it and also in the dev's attitude.
