Yes and no.
The original dev team was disbanded
(rough rough subjective summary:) a while after release due to the financial and emotional weight it brought with being easily misunderstood in content and intention
A console port dedicated team of the publisher ported it a while later to tue different platforms.
So, there is no dedicated dev team behind TLJH anymore, and not all expertise originally involved is still with Daedalic.

But: Daedalic has a general support for the various games they published in the past, and TLJH is recent enough that they'll try to help you with setup specific errors.
There is also a super small community remaining, mainly on the discord.

tl.dr: as far as i know: likely no bugfixes, most definitly no new content, slim chance of setup problem solving help.

Thanks for your reply.

What would you advise regarding what youve commented? Purchase or not?

Since the game seems to run for most players out of the box(if they meet the system requirements, esp. direct x 11) with very few bugs content in regard to support as laid out in my previous comment it is pretty safe to buy.

I do recommend the game, since it does what it wants to do pretty well.
But: it is a niche game, so make sure you know and like what the game wants to do before you buy since it is not a mainstream game.

The game itself is finished. As far as i gathered from reviews, wether it still has support or not is usually not the point that players like/dislike. Many expect a slightly different game with more focus on resource gathering, while in TLJH is all about decisions, wether you need to gather resources or wether you can use alien interactions like trade or quests so you do not need to grind for resources. Additionally, the game goes a little for a cultural shock/being lost feeling and in general the “you have to figure stuff out“ way many older games have. A “old school style“ space survival game with a novels worth of alien interactions, and a sprinkle of RPG on top. It's exploration aspect comes to the surface either in the multiple runs, or as a reward for ones experience: once you know how to survive, you can take detours just to see stuff.
