So yeah, it's abandoned, but you can still make it worth the price in it's current state. Pretty much feature complete

Abandonware, that said there's more than enough content to make it worth $15. I'd recommend it but don't expect any updates.

What they really need to do is add full mod support allow access to basically every file for solo devs to bring this game back.
