I couldn't find any announcements regarding his involvement in this game, so wanted to ask you all what happened to Joel. Also, for bonus points, someone fill me in on how TFP are handling all the recent Unity Engine controversy. Are they looking at a different engine for further development?
They wouldn't be able to change the engine this far into development. They were already going to use something else (I believe Unreal Engine) for their next game, so no changes expected.
Note that this isn't the official word as no one at TFP has given any indication of their thoughts regarding the Unity fiasco. It is just an understanding of how much work it would be to change the engine and the cost involved in doing so, which would be almost guaranteed to be higher than the cost of Unity's price increases, not to mention the time involved.
