I think it stays on hold as Mike posted he was putting it on hold. Until that changes, it stays on hold as that is the devs official position. If the dev disappears without any communication, the game goes into the abandoned track.No info from MikeMasters since May. Shouldn't this get abandoned status?

no complete save since game isn't complete and some scenes aren't replayable.

The Dev has almost 300 supporters on Patreon and last status we saw from them mentioned making slow, but consistent, progress since getting out from under pandemic and personal issues. Very understandable.
Site guidelines allow for OnHold status for a number of months before we ask about a status change need. In this game's case, it's been OnHold for quite awhile and about seven months since last status.
We also attempted contacting the Dev on-site, but despite their visiting a number of times since, we have seen no reply.
Changing the status to Abandoned for now. This can be adjusted when we see a new update.

1 or 2 month's later, the game will be onhold again.
No offence, i trully hope all is well for him.
but the loop is never ending, develop > release > on hold > Repeat...
I supported him on Patreon for a decent amount of time.
I don't think i'd do that again, and about the comment on his amount of followers.
He could've more. College Life is actually good.
But with the loop that keeps going on and on, i don't think it will ever have much more.

Hi everyone,
it's been a long time... but finally a new update is here. And there's a lot to talk about, not just about the game.
What happened
Since my last post a lot of things had happened. I felt to an absolute bottom, mentally and economically. There were moments, where an untimely end seemed like a good option, but then I said "Fuck it!". I basically stop caring about anything. I've rested, regained energy and the will to start anew, and since October I've been rebuilding my life. With that I was wondering, if working on this game will fit in my life, so I've decided to continue where I've left, and it felt good, really good to work on this project. I've also realised how bad some parts of the game are, but more about that in another paragraph.
What will happen
My goal is to return to full time programming, and for last month and a half it has been happening. There will be changes, however. Particularly to tier rewards, as I want to focus purely on the game. Develop stories that are on my mind at that moment, and be less forced to do stuff that are chosen by polls. The tiers will be practically barebones, without any significant reward. I'm writing it now, so can adjust your pledges accordingly.
The one thing I'm not sure about is release time table. I don't know, if I'll be able to produce enough content to warranty monthly releases. That's what I'm about to test in January.
What I definitely aim to improve is my communication. I have to learn to overcome the feeling of anguish I get everytime I need to write to someone. Yep, it's not here, I have that feeling, when I'm supposed to write an e-mail or text message. It's probably a form of a stage-fright, which I had since a little kid.
Anyway, let's talk about the game.
Changes
There are some changes that in my opinion will make this game less amateurish and turn it more to the professional side.
Let's start with the title screen:
It's more unique, compared to other RPG Maker games - with moving and changing sprites, and, of course, links to patreon and discord.
Next we have new phone:
It contains all the previous functions, but looks bit more modern, shows ingame time in standard 12-hour format, and is optimized to by used by mouse. Some parts are still presented in form of "box with choices" like the fast travel and photo gallery, but I have a few ideas for the latter one (if I can actually make it). Text messages now actually look like text messages, look:
It's a bit of a hibrid between what you can see in moder Ren'Py games and standard text box with text in it. It's not perfect, but it's working quite alright. I'm very proud of this part.
There are things that I haven't made yet. For example the ability to change the wallpaper. What is done, is the music player.
From now on you will listen to various royalty-free music while you roam around the game world. For now, there are 11 songs, that I personaly find not that bad. If you don't like them, you can stop them from playing, and standard ambient tracks will play instead. That part is still a bit janky. It works fine, when the songs play, though.
With that comes a strong emphasis on music during events. I went through countless amount of songs that would fit the mood of all events and I've picked around fourty tracks what will play during every important event. Some are hits, some are probably misses, but none of them sounds like crap.
If there ever was a reason to start a new game, I think this is it.
The event Gallery, now dubbed Memories, has been finally filled with every important event. There are some exceptions, where I'm still considering whether they need to be there due to the event length or the context of the event. Like pure conversations doesn't have to be there.
In the same manner I've added some missing events to the achievement tab, but a few are missing, because not that much is happening in them, like with Joan at the beach.
I've also changed intro a bit, added one new animation to one older event, and rerendered content with Kim in her bedroom, because that looked really ugly.
And that's all... wait... there's more

Threesome with Jane and Jessica. Now it's complete ;-)
