Game still live?

The game concept looks interesting, and I'm always on the lookout for neat city-builders like Cliff Empire or Endzone. I notice the game's Early Access finished last October and there hasn't been any status updates since then, is the game currently in a holding pattern while the devs decide what to do next, or have they finished it and moved onto the next thing? And how much tolerance for jank would I need to have to enjoy it?

Frankly, I was very motivated on the concept of the game, but immediately disappointed when it was released. You get bored very quickly, the developers don't respond, the game seems totally abandoned.
I have several hundred hours on Cliff Empire which is highly more interesting and addictive.
Moreover, it is developed by only one person, that is to say the seriousness of those of sphere city boring city.
In short, I really don't recommend it.
I hope others won't fall into the same commercial trap as me on this game

The game shows great potential, and I have enjoyed playing so far. I hope the dev is healthy and well and will continue to further this game :-)

I don't think the Devs are any good, but lets hope? At the very least, make a tutorial that tells me how to do basic stuff so I don't have to google everything...

Is a single Box with text to much to ask for? Or Keybinding? I realy hate to use the mouse wheel...

Indies are now using "early access" to mean "while I'm actively developing", and then use 1.0 to almost immediately cut active support. It's an unfortunate trend that this game seems to have followed.

I had this on my wishlist and saw it was on sale. Then I came across this thread. I have removed the game from my wishlist. Thanks for the heads up!

Its kinda funny that the game developer is german but there are already german texts missing in tutorial
Wish i could block developers so i dont see games of them anymore.

I did not heed the thread or reviews, got it on sale, and regret having spent 6 hours of life on this.

Yeah, Cliff Empire or Endzone does the same concept with much more polish.

It's a pity to see such a good idea and concept go to waste. What time I invested in this I enjoyed, but was very frustrated by it's limitations. This had the potential to become a really top notch game. If only ideas had been expanded and implimented. I would still support this game if ever the dev decided to ressurect it, but I'm guessing, sadly, that will never be!
