I don't see a future for Gamestudio. Conitec seems to have given up already. They don't care about it anymore. Look at the mini-features that get added to the beta page every 2 weeks. str_setchr() and str_getchr()...

On the forecast page: WED & MED -> Revamping the user interface... crazy It's kind of sad and it's a mockery of the customers. There was talk about revamping the user interface of WED & MED almost 10 years ago already but it seems all they did so far is moving some buttons around and making some new icons while keeping usability a nightmare that is messed up beyond all repair.

Where are the new developers JCL said he would hire?

The forum is dying too. A few years ago there were 10 times more posts per day.
