          We hired an Indian software development company last year, which claimed to have C developers "ready to go" ... but it turned out to be a fraud. I was supposed to spend six months in Delhi training the team members. Instead I spent six months waiting for them to hire said developers, before I finally terminated the contract. We're in the process of suing to get back our deposit/expenses. 

That said we still have most of the money from our raise last year, and we've been researching our options. In all likelihood I'll be hiring a couple of people in Austin or Dallas once the pandemic ends.

So yes the project is still active. Just progressing slowly.
