At this point I feel like a turntable with a broken vinyl on it. Repeating the same thing over and over and over again because newbies cannot be bothered reading the topic which explains why AML has taken so long to update.
So this is me for the final time explaining. Someone else can explain from now on.
During Covid times. Orb lost their father to illness. There was a problem with their fathers belongings/estate ect and the family was contesting it. This lead to a court case (for which the verdict has not been shared by Orb) couple this with the fact that depression, anxiety hit Orb ONTOP of a home move which was very stressful. They couldn't keep up with AML so they put the game on indefinate hold whilst they got everything in their personal life sorted and their head back on. This was coupled with the decision to pause all Patreon payments which was paused for well over 2 years.
Due to F95 rules a game that has not been updated in that amount of time receives an Abandoned tag (This doesn't mean the game is actually abandoned - it just means that the game hasn't been updated in a long time)
Orb has actually engaged their community very well over the past 24 months and has kept everyone appraised of their situation. Recently they let everyone know they are back at it developing Chapter 12 of AML and that their personal problems have been more or less resolved.
Chapter 12 has been started and will come to F95 when it has been completed. Then and only then will the abandoned tag be removed from this thread.
Now please I implore everyone PLEASE READ THE THREAD! BEFORE COMMENTING!
