You have no idea one way or the other.  Everything they've said so far is logical and understandable.  No one is going to stop production on a game like this just make another build on another engine for the Wii U.  Like it or not, that's just common sense.  They probably can't even afford to do that.

Rather, why aren't you directing your anger at Nintendo and Yoyo Games?  It's the same reason there is no Wii U port of Undertale, after all.

Because the Wii U's specs and limitations didn't come into exsistance now. It be like saying: "We just created this new eletric engine. That can work in any car." But 2 weeks before release. Ford cars can't use it. Because it's a foot longer. They knew the limits, at the start of the build. But it seems they only focus on making a top looking game for other systems. Ignoring that they're exceeding Wii U's. Then go OOOOPS. We have to spent money to downquality so many various things. Instead of limiting the game to Wii U specs. Wii U shouldn't of been in the list of consoles, from the get go. Or even worse. They knew they couldn't pay for optinmization of multiple systems, from the start. Flat out lied. And used Wii U owners as patsy's.

What you're talking about has nothing to do with this situation.  There is literally nothing the developers can do except build the game all over again for the Wii U in a different engine or wait and hope that Nintendo and the company who developed the game engine reach a deal.  As for the first option, it is unrealistic to expect them to stop development on the other versions just to work on a version that would ONLY exist for the sake of the Wii U.  It's even possible that they can't afford to do that before they make some money on the other platforms--by which time, the Wii U might no longer be a viable platform.

From everything I've read, the developers made their Kickstarter proposal in good faith.  A LOT of engines don't support certain platforms from the beginning, requiring game developers to trust what they're being told.

As I said before, this is about GameMaker: Studio and Nintendo.  Nintendo has to give permission for YoYo Games, the developers of GameMaker: Studio, to build an export module that works with the Wii U but they have been unable to reach an agreement.  Why, I don't know.  Could be the fault of either one or both.  If anything, the developers of HLD are the ones being screwed over the most.
