In Kickstarter update #51 the Balcony team talks about their biggest update for Balrum yet:

The biggest update yet!

Hello everyone!

As we are getting closer to release we are back with a giant update for Balrum!

Backer content is being added to the game and if some of your creations are not entirely compatible with the game you will receive an email.

The entire game has been rebalanced and redesigned. There is almost nothing that hasn't been altered. From basic mechanics to bigger features like the new renderer everything is new. Even the maps have received a huge amount of changes. When you start up the game you might feel that it is familiar but when you play for a few minutes you will definitely feel that you are playing a very different Balrum. We truly hope that you will be pleasantly surprised. Almost every suggestion from the community has been added to the game!

This is the game we had in mind when we started our Kickstarter campaign. As you know Balrum is our first game. So most likely there will be a few bugs lurking around but this time we can finally show you a game that we are proud of. The previous versions were merely a shadow of what Balrum is now.

Thank you very much for your bug reports! All critical bugs have been fixed including a few nasty bugs that prevented you from running the game.

The new version is 0.90_205. You can find it at the usual place. We will send out the download information messages again to ensure all of you get the new version.

Now we would like to talk about some of the bigger changes:

They have been releasing a new version once every couple of months in the last year. Not much communication, but development is happening.

I've seen much worst actually.

They are young developers, soon university graduates. Lots of youthful energy to make a name for themselves in the industry.

Looking really good IMO. Downloaded the most recent beta but haven't had time to try it yet (did boot it up for 2 mins just to see and it ran nice and looked good for 2 mins).

Yes, these two guys (i think it's just two.) do seem to have made a lot of progress. And they seem to have their heads screwed on straight. They have not been afraid to delay the release to make the game they envisioned, while apparently keeping their heads down hard at work.

I backed this game. My fingers are crossed. I think it has the potential to be freakin' awesome. It gets better and better, feature-wise. A dream game on paper. I have been holding back from playing the alpha and beta releases, though. This latest release has me reconsidering that stance.

I didn't back it, but it looks pretty good. They should have a way for people to back now and get in on the beta.
