This is a dev that most probably has other games (this was discussed before). He makes 1 or couple more releases, and then milks from people that are willing to help him. I think the dev wants to make good money before taking these games seriously, but it takes time for a game to gain enough supporters.
Dev's last update indicated he basically got into a serious accident, so I'm holding out hope that he's just recovering from injuries.
...Wow, that's messed up.
