I wouldn't put AOA in the same chategory as those. It had quite some releases. How the dev disappeared was not your typical abandoning as well. I really hope this game does not get onto that list.

Haven't you read the rules for the abandoned tag? Then coupled with when the last Patreon Progress Report (also posted in this thread) you'd already know.

His last post on patreon is literaly less than one month ago, how can it be prematurely judged as abandoned?

I'm just so fucking tired of every game I'm watching take 7 months to a year to update. Why don't you just fucking come clean and admit you're not doing shit?? Just "abandon" this fucking thing
There's waaaay easier grifts on the internet to make money than just stringing along horny bastards for fucking ever.
I'm just about at my limit with this entire fucking medium at this point!!

Don't get me wrong but you can abandon this game for yourself. Don't play it. Delete it from your disk. End your donate at Patreon which you surely have because it wouldn't be smart to complain about something one didn't payed for. Unwatch this thread. Profit.

Why would someone "abandon" free money?
Back in my day, VNs used to update at least twice a year. Those were good times ...
So does anyone know whether or not he at least paused Patreon?

It's probably more like in that limbo state where the dev is active just enough on Patreon for it to not be tagged with "abandoned" but taking long enough for people to doubt any work is being done on it at all.
I've seen a few solo devs take a really long time to update and infrequent status reports but they eventually get it out. On the flipside, I've also seen ones that just kind of slowly ghost the project. That's why I'm considering this another one of those "limbo" status ones. Too soon to tell for sure. (Or more like we'll know when we know. The game is both alive and dead until either an update comes out or the abandoned tag is slapped on)
At the end of the day, even if Yuno gets an update out you should probably use that as a rule of thumb for how long he's going to take for each update. At this rate, maybe it'll be like 1 update per year if we're lucky.
For a new game, that pace is pretty much just being dead in the water. Virtually dead. Which is fine if he wants to just do this on the side as a hobby but not really if he wants to do this full-time eventually.

That will not yield enough supporters for him. Trust is something very fragile...Very few people would want to support something like this financially if an update takes more than a year.

I don't think so, people would support the game if they knew it would take more than a year.
But as you say, trust is fragile. In previous progress reports, Yuno said the update would come end of April/May, then it became June... and here we are.
People won't support him any time soon because of empty promises, the fact its the follow-up update to the release of the game and it taking almost a year... is another issue itself.

As it was previously mentioned in this thread Yuno is known in the artists community but he obviously suffers from the same "making a game is not that hard ..." trap.
Meaning if he still works on the game he for absolutely sure has underestimated the workload, overestimated his abilities and ignored the fact that perfectionism is the absolute worst trait for a developer.

I completely forgot about this game. It never looks good when a dev doesn't release an update for almost a year.
Well, yea. That's why I said it's pretty much dead in the water and that it's fine if he just wants to do this as a hobby on the side. There might actually be people who still fork over money (I wouldn't be surprised) but I doubt it'd amount to anything substantial even just for beer money.
It really would essentially just come down to him doing it as a hobby. You get it? You picking up what I'm laying down? I swear I always try to explain myself properly.
"For a new game, that pace is pretty much just being dead in the water. Virtually dead. Which is fine if he wants to just do this on the side as a hobby but not really if he wants to do this full-time eventually. " - This is what I said.
This game had so much potential but the dev takes too long. This either end up abandonned or forgotten soon
