the title is the question
As I understand it development is still continuing (I've heard about a few exploit-fixes in the exploits thread) however if I had to guess he's holding off on Alpha14 until this Steam release I keep hearing about, but this is almost entirely guesswork.
A14. Lots of big stuff in that one.
I wrote one on the blog, about scenarios.
We're working all day every day, don't worry. But A14 is a ton of bug bashing (months of it) and general refinement so it's not new features all the time.
I cannot wait. It is a solid game so refinement, optimization and bug bash with the scenarios will be fantastic. Cannot wait for salty tears for whatever exploits fixed.
Bug bashing? I haven't seen much in the way of bugs in A13. Am I just not trying hard enough?

Not trying hard enough. There are hundreds (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?board=11.0).

The bugs just aren't necessarily game breaking bugs, more of the minor annoyance variety (Stuff you want to get rid of before releasing on Steam, as a steam release can make-or-break a game)
On this topic, what happened to that Sticky that referred people to that "daily updates" / "daily progress" thing? I know a second one was created sometime in 2015, but I can't find a link for that anymore.

I'm non-stickying this one for now since I'm no longer maintaining the change log. Why? For reasons outlined on the changelog itself. Really, I only started it so I could show it to government people while seeking government R&D funding, and it duplicates the git commits. It's just a bit of drag on progress, I find, a small but persistent time sink for time I could use actually making the game. Less changelog equals more features!

Still, it's gone now so that's all there is to that. I presume that we'll still have a changelog from version to version though?
Though I understand why the daily change logs are gone... they would be tedious and time consuming. I do hope and somewhat expect this will happen though at release of each update / version change.
Definitely, new releases will, as always, still have a full changelist saying everything that's different.
Regarding the time-saving aspect, yes it's small, but little things add up to days of saved time after some years. I doubt many would want a multi-day delay in a game so they could see a changelog (I certainly wouldn't!). It's not the product people really show up for.
I really believe in focusing hard on what matters and being ruthless about cutting away excess baggage (in dev methodology and in life in general).
