It doesn't matter what happens in your life you owe it to the fans to fuckin finish it! Do directors of movies or authors finish half a project and put only half out for the fans and then say this is all you get. Finish the fucking thing!
No one owes anyone anything, quit acting so entitled and spoiled. Learn Python, Renpy, Daz, try to figure out which assets were used for that (and buy them, probably for a few thousand $) and cook up a story and finish it yourself if you want to see it finished that bad. It's easier to just make your own AVN from scratch most likely. I'm guessing the OG dev either died, got burned out, or had more productive things to do with his time (thousands of hours) after subs dropped (not hard, this is yet another vanilla college AVN that doesn't stand out much from 1,000 others, and I quit Patreon altogether 5 months ago myself). Be glad that he actually closed his Patreon account. Most shadier dev's simply ghost everyone and keep collecting free money until everyone cancels on their own or their credit cards expire in a few years (for those that forgot about a recurring $5 sub they had).

Surprised this got abandoned. The way it got abandoned via random deleting of their patreon account makes me think someone either found out about it and made him delete it (which has happened before) or he had a mental breakdown and deleted it himself (which has also happened before). It reminds me of Connected and another game, which I can't remember the name of, but some sort of submission/corruption based game that got randomly abandoned because the developers account was deleted.

For fans of these games, having low expectations is key. Don't forget that pretty much all these developers are amateurs. I am playing several games that I know will never be completed. In my time here on f95, only a small handful of games I play have been completed. Maybe a dozen in total, if not fewer.

For developers of these games. People need to learn from their predecessors mistakes. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Keep things simple as you can. The longer it takes to complete your project, the less likely it will be completed. Even if you make great art or a great story, you're still likely an amateur who does this as a side-job/hobby. Doing too much will lead to burnout pretty quickly, creative work is hard enough as is. Don't make it more difficult for yourself by failing at project management.

This also hurts the "industry" because people are afraid of games being abandoned and some end up thinking all developers are nefarious milkers in waiting or whatever else. Which causes them to both not support developers, and for developers to get damaged by unreasonably toxic environments. Both of which make it more likely for games to get abandoned.
Shit like this actually make me miss the good ol' days, when there was no such thing as early access/half finished games sold and released and the only way to see a game before it was finished was to work for the game company or maybe as a beta tester when it was mostly already finshed and just going through debugging. No one should get too attached to a game or AVN still in development or be surprised when it's not completed. Even game studios worth millions of dollars sometimes go under or get bought by bigger game studios or publishers (looking at you canceled EverQuest 3, Asheron's Call 2, and a long list of others), never mind Average Joe that just happens to have a decent video card and some Python and Daz skills.

On the other hand, there's like 1% chance for an amateur to slog over a game for literal years until they complete it. So we'd see maybe a handful of this kind of games at best. Given such choice, i think getting to experience shorter story, even if it ends at a cliffhanger, is better than nothing at all.

Like going to fuck cactus.

Or wanting to knock sweet Jade. It hurts so good.
Alan could go fuck a cactus. That's an amazing idea!

BTW, nothing to do with that but I just remembered that scene where Alan shouts at Jenny saying something along these lines:
"You and that obnoxious body of yours!!" :KEK: :KEK:
It cracks me up just to remember those words.

This is certainly one of the bigger F95 mysteries, what happened to the dev. The way that everything just disappeared. I have seen so many just abandon their story/games, for whatever reasons. This one is one big mystery, and so many of us check here to see if there is any sort of answer, over and over. I wonder if TLG knows how many people like this game so much that we visit over and over in hopes of an answer. At least i do hope the rumour that he was arrested isn't true.

project died and dev took the money and ran.
this is why you should never trust subscription based crowdfunding.
From what it showed on patreon he had the next chapter done and was shooting for an end of November release. Had a shit ton of previews up and everything and consistently uploaded patreon renders with zero indication dude didn't like what they were working on. In fact they seemed excited to get the next chapter out. If they were gonna take the money and run it makes no sense to not release the latest chapter and milk it more or just leave their patreon up and not release anything ever.

I bet the Dev's wife/gf/bf/whatever found out and had him offed
Nah, I doubt it was that extreme. If I was a betting man I'd go with the rumor that he was based in Singapore and got busted (porn is illegal there, and producing it will get you 5-10 lashes with a rattan cane + prison time). Or died in some freak accident (with friends or family deleting shit after, less likely). All clues point to one of those 2, given how fast shit disappeared.
