And this has to do with the dev who had a terminal illness, but still worked on the game the best he could because?
Sometimes it's better to chew than to talk.

Yeah, I thought it was about the games themselves. My bad.
Never talked about this one dev in particular?
It's retarded to think this general point was about Sqwl.

Why no other dev bought this game from this dev to continue it? I cannot grasp idea of good games being abandoned on this forum when its so fck simple, if dev does not want to continue, sell shit and go with ur life but somehow everybody choosing to bury content instead...

Sell what, and who is going to buy it? It probably wouldn't even bring in that much money initially. Even if they gave the game to another developer for free, development is a huge undertaking that isn't for everyone. On top of that, a new developer would have their own artistic vision, which could lead to a completely different game.
I am not saying it can't be done, but it is not easy to just transfer this kind of work to someone else and just continue it like normal.

tbh I rather a game be abandoned then be continued by another person as it wouldn't have the same feel to it anymore. Only exception would be if there was multiple dev's and the writer quit and gave the script to the one that did the renders.
Spoken like someone who has no clue on both "the artistic vision when creating a game" and "the business of creating a game", but instead as someone that's "me me me I want this so it makes no sense not to continue".

So, you didn't read what dolfe67 posted here 3 days ago, I guess.
You're right: why wasting our times reading what people post on a forum, after all?

Holy shit... I just read the news.
If it's true, that's such a hard blow.
He had so much to tell, but this fucking life wouldn't let him.

So unfair.
He wrote some of the best dialogues I ever seen in a visual novel. And his private messages were always kind, humans.
I'm so sad for him, his family and friends, and for us.

It's my favorite visual novel.
What a shock to see Dev's earily message.
Alrough it's been a lond time without his news.
I still wish he is all good.
If not ,wish he had got his goal at least..

If he really died i'm sorry for his family and friends, but we don't have any confirmation of it.I love all of our brothers and sisters and I hate it when anything happens to one of our own
Let's stay positive and think that he's just busy.

If the news is true it's really sad. A talented guy is maybe gone, he left a little unfinished gem behind him.

All about ego then? Everybody wanna have their exclusive shit till the end of their world?
Your logic: business....If u planning to abandon game, u planning to abandon business related to it and that's good (wtf). That's good? U invested in shit and then....not wanting to pull max out of it. This ain't sony subscription that u gonna get money till the end of the world or end of sony. Competition here is rather strong, so ur shit gonna die quickly if not updated.
The artistic vision when creating a game... artist created game and then decides to bury it. Ofc he has all rights to do so, but why?
If u planning to kill it (whatever sad reason behind it), sell assets and script, call it v2 and let anyone else continue. Artist get final decent money (or proper deal) and game gets a fair shot to be continued. What's the other option? Nothing? Bit depressing....
Isn't it rather arogant to consider there is an artist of the game and there the story ends cuz no-one can pull it further.
Star Wars had 7 directors. Only first one was amazing cuz of the artist right? Few might believe that rest kept lore alive and thats the point of business if u really want to run it.
I really struggle to see any positives in such a choice especially for such a good game, therefore I wrote what I wrote...why kill it? Where is logic to it from any point of view apart of ego?

The issue is the dude might have died, so it's not really "such a choice"
In memory of Sqwl, here are some special renders from his Patreon that I don't believe were shared in the thread before:
