Have you guys abandoned this game?

[FireController#1847]

Seeings as the UME website is now offline, there is no guide to making mods for the game which means the community will have a more difficult time making mods and improving the game itself. Have you guys just left the game to die? If so, why? This is such an incredible game and instead of making a new just why not just improve the original? This game is my life and I would love to make mods for it -- if there was an efficient guide. Please respond, thanks for the wonderful game that you've made.

UME was a fan-created mod editor. It was never something we made.

The official modding API, including wiki documentation lives here:

https://github.com/greenheartgames/gdt-modAPI

If you know HTML5 and JavaScript in particular, it will be fairly easy to make a mod and the API comes with a bunch of examples.

Great mods generally come from our API, rather than from a mod maker since the mod maker only handled a handful of pre-conceived ideas for mods.

As to your other question:

We are still supporting Game Dev Tycoon but as we stated a while ago we don't have any current plans for new content. The long story is that we think there are too many great ideas and we'd rather do Game Dev Tycoon 2 some day in the future to tackle them, instead of releasing DLC or incremental updates. But all of this is a while away, our main focus currently is on our next game[tavernkeeper.com] which we hope will appeal to GDT players too :)
