The last update was in April. Did they abandon the game?

Hi Everyone, should I get this game or Ancient Cities.

It was going in a good direction. Some more features would really add to the game. Why did they stop?

I am making a mod and am looking to make a message pop up or a have a raider attack every time the player reaches a particular number of a type of resources. For example every time the player has 20 stone in their stockpile they get a message. Once that stockpile is diminished and refilled they get the message again. It seems that the game has incremental counts and not cyclical counts. Does anyone have any idea what type of function call can allow for a cyclical event?...

I'm having trouble in hard more dealing with raiders. I get to about the copper age, and mobs are now big enough they just gang up and butcher my people piecemeal. I have walls and with archer standing areas, but the problem is that my people seem to take so long to actually get there that it turns into a 40 on 8 fight, where they then annihilate my people as they trickle in from wherever they were getting logs and crap and instagib them before they can get a single hit in. And since I can't control WHER...
