I did some deep diving on this game. I found a bunch of Reddit posts that had a LOT of deleted accounts and comments. I have links with screenshots that should tie up any loose ends, contact me if you want the sources of my info but I'm 99% certain this game is dead and we will never see it. but here is the summary.
As stated by someone who was attempting to invest in the title, Aaron (The games primary developer) worked extremely hard on this project to the point where he entirely burnt himself out. His mental health was suffering and he was pushing away everyone who was trying to help him develop this title including Peter (the primary programmer). The investor suggested to Aaron (circa end of 2016) that they would buy Routine from him while allowing him to keep the title under Lunar Software. Arron was not interested at all, mind you this investor was an unnamed IRL friend of Aaron. Aaron went completely dark from the project before Routines given deadline.
Several years later a bunch of redditors found Aarons ArtStation and found out that he was making Fortnite fan art instead of working on Routine and started blasting him on reddit. Trolls followed suit and after that absolutely everything about the guy goes completely dark.
It's very sad given that this man was probably full of anxiety over a project he didn't dream of becoming as popular as it did. It was one of the fastest green lit games on steam and I remember its debut back in 2012. I was highly anticipating this title as well and it just hurts me to see that this was how this developer was treated.
