That's a real shame honestly.
Agreed. It is. TLG just up and disappeared. All his accts are dead even. Then add in the suspected fact that some douchebag has upped it to Steam to cash in on this. It's not 100% certain that's what's going on, it's just highly suspicious.

Well crap, could he have passed away ya think? To just up and disappear, especially if it wasn't like him is pretty nuts. And if definitely sounds weird for it to just randomly show up on Steam like that. I agree there.

No idea. Been over a year now. It was really sudden. He was here and then he and his accts were poofed. Now out of the blue it's on Steam.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Abandon all hope; seriously, stop that. It's better for your sanity and it's also a better way to honour this game's memory.
I hope the scumbag trying to pass himself off as the dev on Steam gets into hot water over this. Likely not, but I wish he'd end up arrested.

On the discussion part of that steam page :

4 people have started messages about this being very likely a scam and the "dev" being very probably a fraud impersonnating TLG, the oldest message is 1 week old and the "dev" has never replied or proved he was truly TLG.
So i imagine by now it means 99,99% of chances this is sadly a parasite impersonnating TLG and trying to make quick money of his work.

Hi, Guys, do you think this is real?

View attachment 3017197
Probably not, Most likely like others have said its just a cash grab. Unless like the slimmest of possibilities that its someone else planning on continuing the game. Even if they were to continue it its very weird to instantly throw it on steam. honestly others might not but id actually welcome someone else taking over his work, kind of feel like he doesn't want anything to do with the IP anymore considering he deleted his patron without a word (not hating just pointing it out). But I highly doubt that this isn't anything more than a quick crash grab.

Is this game still worth playing even though tis abandoned
Someone like me that play AVN for interesting story and character depth primarly, AOA Academy is 100% worth playing despite abandonned.
But if you are not after story and character in an AVN , it's probably not a game for you because AOA Academy is not a "fuckfest"

I simply consider it one of the top 3 best AVN i ever played in its current state, and there are a lot of -very- good AVN i enjoyed when it comes to AVN with primary focus on story and characters (i put only the best to me in my signature).

Making it a tragedy it's abandonned as if it had kept up at the level it was, i am certain it could have ended as the top AVN of them all to me, it was that good.

I've been replaying with a Jenny playthrough and honestly i'm still so amazed how good AOA Academy is in every ways.

The writing is top notch, the pacing for the story events and the exploration of the characters developping through the story are truly excellent .
The relationship with the LI you choose and with the various friends around the MC is well done and even the love progression with the LI is believable in its really well wrote pacing, the emotions are superbly portrayed visually and in the dialogues.

Again, what a tragedy it was abandonned, if AOA Academy had been kept as good to the end as it was up to last chapter we could play, i have no doubt it would have been the top 1 AVN for me without contest.
