According to the site rules if there hasn't been an update for a time period, the Tag is associated with the project. I can't recall the timeframe though

in case anyone was wondering, cause i was for a long damn time, there is in fact unique dialogue if you dont use tempt in chapter 1, only when you talk with nen though, afterwards the dialogue is the same as you need to use tempt to beat the boss.

Dumb question: If this game gets updated like the dev said at the ending of Eld, will it show up here?
Do you think it's taking so long because he's migrating it to unity?

Probably, not sure if the dev has a patreon, or if he's updating the public on any new developments of the game and how it's going on in his twitter or Discord server though

It will show here if posted by someone else, the game is free anyway, no patreon, no monetary support so it doesn't make any difference to him I believe and yes the game is taking time in part to the migration to Unity and he probably just started working in the "new stuff" specifically to the next chapter.

I may be mistaken but I think the Twitter/X account is run by one of the discord moderators and it's only updated with commemorative art and public releases so the best place to know more about it is in discord but as those projects are only a hobby it's usual to not see any updates on the development for a while specifically because he forgets to do them (the reports).
After the end of the closed alpha phase (only mods) the game releases the public beta phase to everyone, every server member will receive a notification and the Newgrounds and Twitter/X pages too will probably receive some kind of report relative to that, my believe is that just like Eld the new Crimson Keep chapter will not be playable on Newgrounds so the only official way to download the game will be in the discord server or on the link provided in the Twitter/X account.

"Small Update"
This information came from discord Mods and not the developer introspurt but there is no reason to not trust this information anyway.
A Mod responsible for balancing the game said 22 days ago "Combat system and simulator will be done soon and i will get to work", this is probably a new tool/debug version created for Unity that he will be using from now on to test combat and balancing bosses mostly.
Today another Mod said that intro is currently "drawin'" and "storyboarding now", that confirms that the dev already begun working on making new assets and preparing to make the script for the new chapter.
Other Mod follows by saying that "balancing for combat" is also currently being made what means that the "simulator" is already finished and in function, he finishes with "Things are happening, just not much to show off rn", so it's still probably too soon to any update from intro for now but my guess is that when something is ready to be shared we may get a small teaser/report.

True and that's what I intended to convince people of by saying that the information provided by them can be trusted because other people are not aware of those facts and since part of the mod team is credits in the games as "server management" or something like that people could assume that they may not have access to that type of information.

You don't need to worry about this one at least, and the main reason for the "abandonment" was because of the dev working in another game for 2 years to learn how to use a new engine (Unity) to replace Flash when working in the next chapter (currently in the storyboard phase).

For a more "friendly read".
"DEV UPDATE #9:
Working on a bunch of things at the same time including:
Storycrafting
Storyboarding
Dialogue Sprites
Enemy battlesprite sketches
STORYCRAFTING-
I wrote the general story for CK8 a while ago, before Eld had released. Touched it up and changed a few things for a more cohesive story.
STORYBOARDING-
Fleshed out the majority of events that will occur and what order in which they will occur - this is important to know what kind of assets will be needed before coding the story can begin.
DIALOGUE SPRITES-
For dialogue in CK8, I will be using a hybrid system, which will show sprites in a specific manner depending on whether or not a cutscene is displayed in the background. If there is no cutscene, the sprites will be shown in full display (as they are in Eld, for example). When a cutscene is present, mini portraits will be used so as not to detract from the image in the background."
For this, I needed to redraw/update a significant number of dialogue sprites to show more of the character's body. In addition to changable brows, mouth, eyes, and extra layers, I am also adding arms to the list, which means that dialogue sprites will occasionally have different poses as seen below. A lot of these are being redrawn from scratch as the originals were as dated as existing in CK1 (cough Soriel cough)
ENEMY BATTLESPRITES
I have completed the sketches for the battle sprites for all enemies in game.
At this point, dev updates will not have too much specific information because I do not like spoiling story elements too much, lest everyone's enjoyment suffer. Please forgive ever increasing levels of obscurity as development continues.

He will finish this Arc in Unity (around 3 more chapters, currently working in chapter 8) and then probably remake the previous 7 in Unity that will then be added to the remain ones to make a compilation of the entire "Volcano Arc". He may or not decide to work back on Eld in between the 2 things.
