i hate to burst your hopes, but the last productive thing Jon has done was Civ 5, back in 2010. He spent 7 years on this game only to abandon it unfinished and disappear. No updates have been done in 4 years and no new projects announced.

Funny thing about "wanting to" do something... if you make no further effort at doing that thing, or at least setting plans to get into position to do that thing, it's likely never going to happen. That goes double when it's a large project you have to re-immerse yourself in before you can make progress.

If, someday, he comes back to working on this game (as opposed to, say, starting from scratch to make the same sort of game using what he's learned in his other work in the intervening years), I'll happily give it another look... but I'm not holding my breath.

I hate how this game is so close to being fun but the bugs just break it every time. I can't get past 100 turns because the game just corrupts the save and tada progress lost. It didn't need further development for me to enjoy, just some stability.

Nah! Looks like he got paid off by Paradox to drop ATG so they could implement his ideas in their own games, so that is probably not going to happen.

I remember reading a blog post by Jon. In it he spoke about mental health problems and procrastination. shortly after he disappeared. He needs a bollocking from his dad and Jordan Peterson and getting back to work

Proof, please?

Jordan Peterson is a nonce, so not him. Don't listen to that man.

Well he left paradox only after six months, after that they started to use his mechanics in their games, such as nesting menues etc.

Saying you MAY finish work you started, still charge for that work, and then make no attempt to make it actually playable or enjoyable?

Yeah, that's actually worse than just admitting you abandoned it.

Absolute garbage behaviour. Do not support this in any way, or this is the sort of less-than-half-arsed standards that will be normal in the industry.

He was refunding people who wanted it, what more do you want?
Also, sir, this is a Wendy's.
