Well, the last version was released years ago, so I shouldn't be surprised if gE is considered dead by that site. It seems like it is pretty much dead, as Skydereign is the only one working on gE plus he's got a life too...
So to answer the question is gE dead: Most likely, but it's officially dead if Skydereign quits working on gE, otherwise there might be a very slight chance that gE is still being worked on, and an even smaller chance of an official update...
I haven't heard back from Skydereign yet (which is surprising since he normally responds), after a few recent attempts to find out his latest progress on the Game Editor update; with the adjustable window size mode for PC, Mac and Linux (which has been on the table for a couple years), plus the fact he mentioned he's developing other games, plus school and work, which is understandable, since updating the program is all voluntary. If he ever returns, his knowledge of the program is always welcome and appreciated. Thanks Skydereign.
Makslane, the original creator of Game Editor, has also left the program's development as we know, so while the program still works on modern computers as of now, there are still a number of updates and features that would make it much better. The competition for game creation software is tremendous out there, so it's safe to say Game Editor's future update development is in question. Which is sad because this is a very intuitive and fun to use 2D program despite some of the limitations. Unless things change quickly, developers will continue depending on other software to create their games.
