I agree what you wrote, but just a slight correction, from what Pornfather3000 told here, he's the solo writer and artist, maybe not the coder/programmer, and think he has 2 other guys that started the game with him, dunno how it is right now, but I think it's pretty much a one man job for him on this game.
Once a year is far too long. More than every 3 months really is - you forget too much in that time. The ones I follow are every 3 months or more often with very few exceptions. Any less than that someone would have to be insane to be a Patron. 18 months+ is long enough to rightly be considered abandoned.
Almost all the ones I follow are 6 months minimum, but most are 10-12 months on average
Yeah, I don't actually know the current state of things with this. I only remember that it was a team, at least at some point in time. It's possible it's all up to the Pornfather now. I wish him well for sure, in any case.
If this is one of the very few exceptions, then you apparently expect the delay and are OK with it. If you are, I'm not sure why you're complaining. If you're not OK with it, I'm not sure what the substance of your complaints is. Either shuffle this to the "play whenever it updates and otherwise don't worry about it" set of games; or stop following / playing the game. Otherwise, it feels like your frustrations are somewhat self-imposed, torturing yourself with anticipation over something you can't control yourself. You'd probably be much freer and happier if you didn't get frustrated over the timeframe on releases for this.
3 months? The ones you follow are not the top ones, but nothing wrong about it. Some even do monthly releases, but they're very small with mediocre quality. There are a few exceptions like NLT Media (though it's a small studio, not a solo or 2-dev team) but the average is at least 6 months unless it's a new dev who works hard the first year or so to gather an audience
vypyra Story is loosely based on real life and I have the second week outlined on paper day to day morning, afternoon and night with third week in my head. In theory the game ends at the end of week three. Generally, it's write, test scenes, write more once I see it works, finish a part, set art and set images in script, run art, write.
I can kind of understand that even if you make a decent amount of money from porn games it's still a bit scary to basically have a huge hole in your resume for years and years. What happens 5 years from now if this whole industry is banned or if you just stop getting as much money. You still have decades to live. It's the one thing that's stopping me from dedicating myself to making porn games instead of working as a regular programmer.vypyra Story is loosely based on real life and I have the second week outlined on paper day to day morning, afternoon and night with third week in my head.

Fear not, I suck so bad at my new job that I didn't want, they'll get around to firing me eventually...Peter Principal.
I could just set a random image and drop it here a few times a week btu it won't advance the story b/c I need to be in the mood to write and have the time. For married folks out there its like that one night a year when the stars align and you get to have sex with your wife. Rare and the window short.
To others
I hear what folks are saying. I get it. It's fine. I was going to write a whole thing, to explain my day but no one cares and only some will read it anyway so what does it matter. Just suffice to say, I'm busy with work, in a job I didn't want but pays me sufficiently to put up with it and I don't hate it. I write a lot and read a lot for work. Legal docs, regulations, manage a team different time zone etc. I sit in front of a computer 8-12 hours a day. Sometimes...frequently now, it's hard to come home and write dialog for cute girls b/c I'm exhausted or in a shitty mood.
Sometimes its made more challenging depending on comments here (secret...I'm human, an old human but human none the less).
That said. The positive comments really do keep the project alive. We've not charge in well over a year. I keep going when I can b/c you when you guys are positive it does feed me. Some of you have been super super supportive and really genuinely kind. Some have PM'd me just to check in and that is, just really kind, human to human.
100%. Project 2025 didn't exactly motivate in that aspect. Plus I'm near retirement so there's no reason to be blowing things up.
Yeah, I'm the bottle neck. I have one partner who codes and one who does the marketing etc.
I get that it's easy to be lead on by people on the internet, you know trolls, scammers, and all that. So given that, it's also really easy to be a little paranoid about people. But, tbh, the difference between a dev lying and saying "I'm so busy with work" instead of being honest and admitting "this isn't as successful as I hoped, so I can no longer justify my time, sorry folks" is so small, that it would be an almost entirely pointless fib. What? Is the dev going to lose money by admitting... he isn't making money from it? Doesn't make any sense. The dev at that point may as well lie to himself, it has the same utility.
Um, that is the entire point of an alpha. For instance, an alpha hyena (a female, mind you) dominates all the other hyenas and forces them to submit. The same happens with an alpha lion or an alpha gorilla. Forced submission is pretty much the definition of an alpha in the animal kingdom, so why you'd think that equates to some kind of nice guy among humans is beyond me. There are other things to go along with that (confidence, decisiveness, etc.), but the base level of alpha is exactly what you're describing. And humans are animals too (we're mammals), so it would naturally be the same thing, at least to a certain point. (Yes, there are alpha humans who choose not to be dicks, but that doesn't mean alphas don't have a presence that naturally gets others around them to submit and follow.)
That's not why this is marked Abandoned. There are specific rules used to assign those labels (see point 3). This specifically qualified for the prefix based on those conditions. Also, Pornfather 3000 (the dev) has not quit making the game. Progress is just exceptionally slow because of RL obligations and busyness.
To add to that, the game is on hold but got abandoned tag because of 6+ months of no game update
. I think I will have some time this weekend to work a bit. Also, if you like the game, please leave a review 
100%. People in management get promoted to their highest incompetency.
Can't wait to spend time with those hottiesThe comments on here can be exhausting sometimes

Personally, I don't really care for it, and usually skip it in games, not sure about others but there isn't really alot of responses here.
