Hello!
Yes the community size has been about the same for roughly the past 3-5 years now. Actually we still regularly have about 60-100 players playing every day, more on the weekends. We hold organized matches through discord. Which really bring out the true spirit of "command and conquer mode".

Our dev focus has primarily shifted toward Firestorm and its release on UDK. We know that UDK has many limitations and even moreso there are a limited amount of people willing to work on it for basically no compensation. Ideally later this year, once Firestorm UDK is released, we plan to shift towards using ue5. That itself will require some new skill sets, manpower and planning.
Unfortunately we can't release on steam since we are using EA's IP, which goes against their modding agreement.
As far as Renegade-X, we see it as basically complete. There a few things we'd like to get out the door before calling it "1.0".
Of course donations are always appreciated!! They help fund servers and other costs, and give us more room to experiment with outside talent.
