It's a shame it ended when everything was on track, I still dreamed of getting my relationship with Maeve back on track.

Really makes you realize the AVN niche peaked around the time this game was abandoned. So many games started to fall off around that time.
Man ... those were good times. I used have time for this stuff.

Dunno what happen to the guy but its a colossal loss for the avn world, he has clearly the skills.

People think game development is hard, but honestly? Its the project management. When you dont have clear goals for the end product, you cant produce, and if you cant produce, you need to cancel it. Otherwise, you're shipping a product you dont want too. But, there are way to cut corners and be able to provide a good product without compromissing your vision. Sadly, not many AVN makers out there know how to do this.
And this is not a new discovery:
Confucius’ Rectification of Names
“If language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains undone; if this remains undone, morals and art will deteriorate; if justice goes astray, the people will stand about in helpless confusion. Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above everything.”
Well yea. I've said it before but it takes a special kind of person that can make a good AVN. You have to be competent AND a little perverted. Otherwise, you'd be doing something else with that level competency. And yea, to add to your point, you need to be competent in a lot of areas or at least be able to learn either before you announce anything or on-the-fly.

It's the expected outcome because the vast majority of the AVN makers are amateurs who had never created something before. Most of them only had the idea of what kind of AVN they wanted to make, and then learn a bit of Renpy/Daz/HS to do it. The struggle came after in many different possibilities such as low-income (how long would they go if not enough patronage?), tech issues (how much money to invest into fixing/upgrading tech?), writer's block (it's easy to come up with idea but significantly harder to make it make sense as the story progresses/concludes), etc.
Like you said, it's project management, and most AVN makers are not project managers.
