it was announced much earlier that he's back and page 473 post was dev update.
No, it wasn't... Not officially.

Whilst we (the non-lazy fucks) knew Orb would be returning based on what Raminita posted on the 25th of May (page 470), it's not "official" enough (not Orb Origin posting or an announcement on Patreon) for the selfish/lazy twats who profess their enjoyment/love of the game but can't be arsed to keep even a cursory eye on this thread.

So page 473 where Englen posted a copy of the Patreon post is the official, "undeniable truth" that matters.

No, the 22nd October post doesn't count either, for the same reasons I gave for the 25th May post (plus how long ago it was that many would disregard it entirely)... Yes, I went back and double checked when they happened, like you or any other common-sense having individual who follows the thread and can string coherent thoughts together and apply them, would/can do.

Reading this back before posting, I almost worry that the "conduct" of many people on these forums may be negatively affecting my levels of cynicism and sarcasm... Almost. :devilish:

Hey everyone, OrbOrigin here. I just want to make a small update on how productions have been going for the last two weeks.
I began with reviewing the latest update (Part Eleven,) then going through my files that I had left for myself for when I return to work. I will not lie though, I spent a good chunk of hours brainstorming and asking myself plenty of times on what I meant when I wrote this and that. So for future reference; I need to be less vague when I leave notes for my future self. I also realized and finally convinced myself that I am indeed quite crazy and evil for how I left the cliffhanger with John and Nicole like that, then went on a hiatus. It wasn't on purpose, I swear, but I left everyone wondering for roughly two years on what could happen, whether they sleep together or not, and it got me thinking if I dug a grave for myself for the suspense and expectation for the next update, haha.
With that being said, I'm having a fun time writing A Mother's Love again. To be able to finally continue the script and actually have it down instead of being in my mind is awesome! Old ideas that I had written for the plot that were previously stuck/unsatisfied were solved after looking through them after two years, and I’m getting some new ideas too. I can't say that I have written much yet, but I'm working on it and hopefully I could start modding soon as well.
That is all I have to say for this time. Thank you all so very much for giving me a moment of your time and as usual, see you soon.
PS. Would you be able to get work done if Nicole Heavens is beside you in your office and staring at you?​

If the author is, in fact, back to carrying this game on maybe it would good to remove the abandoned tag. This is a great game and I, for one, am anxiously awaiting the next update.

TBH that cliffhanger is prob why most of us are here 2 years later though. I mean the game itself was great but how it ended was really at a spot that left most wanting to know what happened and wanting more... I wont lie he is probably right when he says he dug himself into somewhat of a hole, but if he can produce similar writing and everything on par to what he was putting out before it should be no problem... I mean as I said the cliffhanger left most of us straggling around for 2 years hoping and waiting, but the game itself is what got us here in the first place. I think if Orb comes with the same dedication he did before all that shit happened he will be able to fill that "hole" as we fill Nicole's :sneaky:...

I think you're right but I think it's normal to think that all of us really want to know what happens next after that huge cliffhanger that Part 11 ended. Besides isn't that the job of a cliffhanger? I'm sure we'll react the same way to any movie or TV show franchise that we love that ended on a cliffhanger.

I love the game and in my opinion it's fantastic and very well written. The game is great from the start and dev Orb did a great job in making us feel that we are the MC and we're the ones having a relationship with Nicole. The build up to the recent update and our reaction on how Part 11 ended means that Dev Orb is doing a fantastic job with this game and I can't wait for Part 12. :love:
