In my opinion, I feel like they have said plenty about their plans and status, though.
Summary:
There are no known plans to shut down the game. There are no known plans to stop trying to make time to finish the update. As of [a million years ago], they needed to finish the server GUI and see if they can come up with a solution to the “<4 CPU cores take waaay too long to generate worlds, and this could very reasonably cause refunds and bad reviews” problem. They are struggling to make time to complete the work [because they have full time jobs somewhere else].
I can’t think of much more detail I would want them to share. Maybe information on if they have a specific plan for how to get back to Boundless development? Is there anything more you would like to know, assuming that this information hasn’t changed?
