Just the possibility
I don't like to make promises that involve things beyond my control. I don't make the art or write the storylines, I just make the bugs. My understanding is that there's some content that wasn't released before, and there's much more planned. But if there's no interest, what's the point, right?
A few bugs are always to be expected. This has been in early development after all and the priority is adding features. I always attempted to fix all the bugs I found in testing before okaying an update, but of course you guys will always try something I didn't expect, and thus had a less than optimal experience. For that, I'm sorry.
Ren'Py wasn't the best choice for this project. Unfortunately, it took 2 years of development to realize this. What was supposed to be a simple visual novel with maybe a few simple minigames turned into a point and click adventure, with time-dependent events and DLC. And of course it suffered from feature creep.
With that in mind, I'm rebuilding it from the ground up in a different game engine. No more forcing Ren'Py to do things it wasn't meant to do. Also, no more bug reports from the current version of the game. The current DLC will be integrated into the main game as well. Whether future content will be integrated or separate is undecided at this time, but the main thing is that we want to finish the game.
Regarding the "incest patch..." No. Not because I am opposed, but because this is extra work. I did it once and the result was unplayable (rather than just a function that dynamically replaced the appropriate words, it replaced existing functions with the words changed. This turned out to be ill-advised. Oops!) and I still get bug reports about it even though it was removed.
I know that this was a long break, and the second time it was abandoned. The first time, it was the middle of the pandemic and Vic was incommunicado. The cart had lost the horse, so there wasn't much else that could be done. The second time, it was more of hiatus, brought on by real life issues that suddenly came up. We never wanted this to be left unfinished.
