Yeah I did see that, super sad. We were finally getting somewhere in the story too. I believe it was primarily driven by the dev not liking how outdated the start of the game is visually. They got overwhelmed by task of potentially remaking the whole game, and just lost interest altogether. Personally I think the game still holds up, but its undeniable that his recent renders are an incredible improvement. Hopefully he just soldiers on and actually finishes the game and can maybe redo it after everything is done. Hopefully.
