I'm so stoked it's getting released. I spoke to one of the devs about a year ago and he said it was pretty much abandoned as they were really just experimenting with a lot of ideas and it wasn't functioning well as a game. Looking forward to seeing what they've done with it
also, full speed chronological order if you're interested:
