Seemingly no new versions since around 2013, last news article from 2016. But the program is still available for download and purchase.

And there is also a GNU/Linux version available:

HotBasic PentHouse for Linux $ 79 for new HotBasic users $ 49 for registered HotBasic Windows users

http://www.hotbasic.org/ no longer available (as of August 2025).

Furthermore, the project appears to have been neglected and not further developed for quite some time (more precisely, for many years).

I attempted to install the software on a new computer, but important binary files could not be downloaded during installation. This used to work a few years ago.

That's why the software is now useless unless you already have it installed on your computer. I prefer to use PureBasic, which is still very much alive.
