Not surprised in the slightest, game was rewritten from scratch at least once (afaik), no dev videos for years, huge hiatus a while back, a small team where one dev left months ago, super technical dev logs that have never shown an actual game, etc,etc.
The only tangible thing this guy ever made was that demo for a game event a while back and looking at the kickstarter page now I can't believe anyone actually bought what this guy was selling....No Mans Limit.
I was hooked at first but about one/two years ago I (and many others apparently) realized this wasn't gonna happen and began to treat it as just a curiosity. The forums took it lightly, probably because all the annoyed/disappointed people tried to refund and left years ago, leaving only the believers.
A cautionary tale.
