I'm unclear about what was said about new Unity engine. But I work professionally in Unity, so I'll give some clarification on what could be happening.
Updating to a newer version of Unity Engine means going from 2019.4.1f1 to 2021.1.5f1 (for example). This is done essentially by two steps:
1. Clicking Yes to a popup that says Update your project to 20xx.x.x?
2. Clicking Yes to another popup that says This could break your entire project. Are you sure?
This type of upgrade takes a few minutes and 50% of the time will not break anything if it was from, say, version 45 to 46. But if you skip dozens of versions, as live operating games unfortunately have to do, there is a much greater chance that things will break.
Step 3. Fix all the things that broke, which could take weeks or months.
What they could have meant by new version is changing the rendering pipeline. Unity has three rendering options:
Built-in / Traditional: Unity's standard rendering they've had for many years. (3DX uses this) URP (Universal Render Pipeline): best for work across many platforms, including mobile. (since 2018) HDRP (High Definition Render Pipeline): For photoreal AAA graphics, basically 95% or greater of what Unreal Engine would provide (since 2018) Updating to these pipelines would guarantee that all art assets are broken and need to be remade or adapted, possibly as easy as assigning new shaders, maybe much more complicated. Again, this would take weeks or months.
I hope Gizmo will clarify which type of Engine change is happening. A render pipeline upgrade is not necessary to provide better graphics, and 3DX uses far too much CPU/GPU for being on the Built-in pipeline anyway, so ideally optimization happens before then.
This thread is the most communication I've ever seen from Gizmo, so it was a great start. Hoping to hear more.
Given the number of players in 3DX, there is at least enough money for 2 or 3 people to work full-time, unless they owe some investors like 80% of their revenue. So I do hope full-time is what's being worked.

EDIT: They may also be doing both migration to a newer version and a newer render pipeline, which could take twice as much time.

You adjust the axis to fit with the new positions, and nothing will break.
Just like It`s been done by countless people that mod other games over the years. 

those blog posts should happen more occasionally, minimum one per month.

Dear Players!
We would like to inform you about an upcoming datacenter migration on April 25, 2023, which will result in downtime for our website: https://3dxforum.com/
Our provider is moving services to the new datacenter. The maintenance window is scheduled from 09:00 to 17:00 CEST (UTC+02:00), lasting 8 hours.
Thank you for understanding!

Please remove the "falling through the floor" bug, when standing next to an object that consists of many single objects. This bug exists for such a long time and still hadn't been adressed yet.
Thanks in advance!

I don`t see how it would be absurd to cater to many people`s fantasies.
We have wings horns and tales, but not all use them. We have glowsticks and coloured name plates, but not all use them. We already have the ability to scale some body parts, and even though some go full tilt with the slider, most chose something similar to what they are equipped with in real life, People are different, and since this is supposed to be a place to fulfil ones fantasies, let them.
Besides, cc`s have made penis alterations and body scales for other regular games for many many years in the form of mods, so it is absolutely doable.

I'm a person who most observes all requests and comments, I don't interact much here, I also have some wishes about having something in the game, but I think it would be cool to have a poll, choose 4 themes and ask for a vote, the most voted it would be placed in the game, of course they would have to be things that you can actually have in the game, well it's just an idea  

So I've been reading through several posts in this blog. Some are noteworthy, others a bit demanding, and then you get ones that are just down right insulting. For those that have just joined the game in the past year or so, please try to understand that things take time, and that not everything you ask for will come to be. The development team and @Gizmo can only do so much with what they have. I don't think you realize just how much the game has improved compared to its early years. Please don't forget that the development team are people too with their own lives and interests outside of building up the game. We can demand, request, or beg for things to change but not everyone is going to be satisfied all at once. I'm pretty sure that once the new Unity update launches, I'm sure we'll be given pretty nice new features and much better stability. 

Also, let's not forget that 3dx is turning 10 later this year, how crazy is that?!! I've been on this game for little under 9 years now and I have enjoyed seeing the development of this game and how far its come. Sure there are things that I wish had been added or changed but I know that we're not always going to get what we want. I still remember pestering Gizmo about getting more jewelry such as rings and earrings and sure enough we got it. It may have taken a while but we got it regardless. 

Anyways, @Gizmo I hope you and everyone in the development team are doing well and are getting enough sleep and staying healthy. Looking forward to what you have in store for us this year and the years to come. 

Just try to understand what is the plan. First upgrade the engine, lotta bugs will fix by this, then look forward.
Nobody says the Drinks are the only thing you get.

A big step in the right direction.
Just to add to an already lengthy list of broken or new items and abilities that have been suggested many times already, I would love the ability to create sheer clothes.

Thank you for your feedback, well wishes, and suggestions! Our team is thrilled you appreciate our blog initiative as we strive to establish meaningful communication with our community. We have noticed many of you have questions, which is very encouraging and shows us that you are passionate about the game and its development. While I may not be able to answer every question, I am committed to addressing development-related topics in greater depth in future blog posts. Please stay tuned for updates!

Yesss, we used to have a fading tool that Rocchi developed in the old 32 bit version and a reverse slide bar. Also had a tv that worked using ogv files. But alas Rocchi has lost access to making improvements with her dll files...
