Last update was in Feburary, the dev is quoted saying their working on an update still, why is the abandoned tag up? Im confused
My guess? They saw past the bullshit. Dev has being "working" on the final part of a 3-part update for going on 4 months, an update I'll remind you that has supposedly been in the works for 8 months prior to the parts released. That's 12 months and the full update is still not available. Parts of a whole doesn't count as an update.

Today is a sad day
i will never understand why devs want to remake their games over and over again....
i understand you get better as a dev over time but finish the current project before start another....

So, I think this is important to post here and I am confused no one brought it up (I think):

DrBonesPost.PNG

That explains why updates have been quite slow and why he couldn't get updates posted. I wouldn't call the game abandoned, but the dev is currently dealing with potential medical issues. If any of the mods assigned to edit this thread can see this, please do take this into account about the tagging.

Go to page 1018 he said that...a month ago
And a month before that he had burnout after he said he was gonna drop it at the end of the month

And a month before that he was playing skyrim after he said he was gonna drop it at the end of the month

And a month before that he was "working" on the final part after he said he was gonna drop it at the end of the month

And a month before that he gave 2 parts of an 8 month update where he just added horse sounds and remade 2 scenes.

Not saying he's lying, but If I got paid $15,000 to give an excuse at the end of each month I'll just make up another story.

This may be intended as a joke, but just for the sake of clarity it's not that the message is from the future, but that it displays a different date format than what is used in the US. Rather than month-day-year, it is day-month-year, which is a very commonly used format outside the US.

I was going to say more on the topic of justification for Dr. Bones inactivity, but Bruka was faster and just as accurate as I aimed to be, so I will merely second what they said: however valid an excuse kidney stones may be, all prior and subsequent evidence seems to point to a disappointing work ethic and complete lack of any sense of responsibility in Dr. Bones.
Given how atrociously slow updates have come out, and how minuscule the content in those updates has been (which Bruka also touched on), I think the "abandoned" tag is fully justified.

It's particularly aggravating considering the potential of the game, and how there are a lot of things that would require minimal effort to add yet would make the game feel much less incomplete (as I mentioned in an earlier post). There has been a lot of understandable negativity about Dr. Bones' progress with the game, especially compared to the income he receives in support of its development.
I still think it has potential and there are some good scenes in the game, don't get me wrong, but I won't hold my breath for that potential to be fulfilled.

The abandoned tag is well deserved, f95 doing the right thing, cause we have alot of devs out there milking and scamming.

Back in january if im correct, he posted a message to someone in the discord saying *he had the update almost complete and maybe he would have 2 days to test it*, few days later day of the supposely release and he comes up with some random bs, saying that he is going to cut the update in 3 parts, without a proper excuse,

if we think a bit wasnt the update almost complete how did it went from almost complete to like 30%, then he sayed each week would release one part, which in the next 2 weeks would conclude 3 parts and we had the full update, then one week after 1st part he releases 2nd part, but then 3rd part has no excuses for taking so long, cause i only find interesting is that this kidney stones story only submerge when we already past 2 months without the 3rd part plus no information on why it taking so long and only after people started to bring heat.

He can indeed have that health problem, it happens, but his development is far one of the worst around, and to people to realize this is his job, dont believe his bs saying this is hobby, cause when he started to recieve 750$ on patreon he went fulltime to work on his projects (even he sayed its was his job), nowdays recieving over 3k$ and says its a hobby and works when he wants.

But he will come out and say *you are not forced to support him, you free to do what you want*, but his next words most likely be *if you dont support i will abandon the game cause i dont have any support to continue*, you have alot of supporters and yet you still barely work on the projects, by now Manor should have had like 1-2 more updates by now and no we still in the 1st one and we almost half of the year of 2022, there is games out there with 1 dev only that already release few updates during your 1 only update.

Soon the Update will drop i can feel it, it has been like that for some time, when F95 places abandoned tag doc comes up with the update super fast.

Man i am always bummed out when i see another project going the way of the Dodo... no matter the reasons.
Getting decent finished western H-Games is as rare as winning the lottery it seems.

I hope that some people that think about making a game look at these cases and just start with something small that they actually finish... if they can prove to me that they can make a decent game from start to finish, then i'll gladly pay up but i got too often burned by Early Access or lofty promises after three months of developement i never asked for, that they obviously can't fulfill.

Give me something small like the never finished "Magic Shop" from Roninsong and i throw you a kiss in cash form.
Or just develop a decent work ethic, i hear that works too in this world. :poop:

Well let's see if anything happens with the projects of Mr. Bones here, maybe the dude changes up the gears a bit or starts focussing on one project.
I always get itchy when i see a solo dev starting a new project before he even is close to finishing his previous one.
That ALWAYS smells fishy and goes wrong in my experience.

Your thoughts?

As far as updates go for this game, if you follow their discord, they mentioned this game would be somewhat undefined as to when the next one would be posted. As far as I'm aware, he has a medical condition preventing him from working on the project lately. Again patience is critical with these games, especially "in development" games such as these. You aren't forced to support the person on Patreon, SubscribeStar, or whatever. It wouldn't really speed up the updates either. Frustrating as it may be, we can always focus on other things as we wait for these games to be updated eventually.

EDIT: I realize now after reading for a bit that his "health" issue has been going on for some time. My point was that no matter what happens during development I will always feel bad for the people actually supporting him through money or whatever. I'm just willing to wait on the sidelines like most people until the developers show updates consistently.
