This is kind of a weird one. On the one hand, they seem to have continued to raise money no problem. On the other hand, despite lots of progress and updates, they don't seem much closer to having a game.

Devs silent most of 2015. Then most of 2016. Every update just an apology. End of 2016 update shows up after 10 months of silence, promising that they'll do some work in 2017. A few updates in 2017 but I am seriouly skeptical. End of 2017 update: concept art and adding team members. No updates in 2018
