Or this one likely. Dev recently became a father, obviously he has his hands full with real life at the moment.

Yeah, there's reason to be skeptical of that. From the post, it seems the baby is already born, which means he has been dealing with the pregnancy for several months. That could have been a solid justification as to why the last update took so long. However, he never mentioned it all that time, radio silence, and AFTER the last update eventually came out, he promised monthly updates, when he must have known he wouldn't have the time if he was going to be a father.

Sure, it's entirely possible that he didn't want to share the news with a bunch of randoms online back then, but now he feels that he has to, thats a possibility. But I still find it odd, that he never mentioned becoming a father while people were asking him if the game was abandoned or not.

It all happened at once while I was dealing with my mental health challenges back then. I haven’t said much because I felt it was something I needed to handle on my own. I focused on just getting things done, keeping quiet and pushing through. Now, I’m not here to talk my way out of the situation, but to make my stance clear. I’m still here, and I will continue to be. I’m clawing my way back, and all I ask from you is to give me hope for a better future. Dark Magic is my life’s work, and I want it to succeed.

Thank you for your understanding.

We all want your game to succeed, and I appreciate you taking your time to answer. I'd very much love to see the game keep going strong, and you can deal with whatever challenges you have the best way possible.

However, I hope you understand that those of us who have been here for a while have seen our fair share of promises that never came to be, devs that vanished without a trace, and justifications that seem like they came out of a movie. So we will be skeptical about taking developers words at face value.

Still, from my perspective, even bad news is better than no news. When it comes to your project, people can't know what you don't tell them. You are working on a trust-based system after all, so being transparent, even when the news isn't great, is more trustworthy than leaving people in the dark. Just my 2 cents.

Can anybody recommend games similar to this? Specially the art style (I'm guessing Honey Select? but idk) and incest, with a bunch of content.

After I started new game I got this when I've opened Magic Notes:

```
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
