They seem to have stopped caring a couple years ago, started when they released that other game then quickly abandoned it. After that updates took longer. Keeping in mind it was almost 1 year between 0.16 and 0.17 updates. So far were only 3 and a half months since the last one.
Yeah it's sad it was one of my favorites... like Harem Hotel / Mythic Manor / Waifu Academy and so on ... seems almost every "good / top rated Game" sharing the same fate.... one alibi update pair year for the patreon money.
Dev is active on Discord, and the time between updates required for an abandoned tag is FAR longer than 6 months. What you're calling for is just an annoyance for the mods...
It was 3 months, as far as I remember. And wtf cares about Discord, when Patron gives you your paycheck?
You may find it frustrating, but apparently the Dev is going to continue developing the game even if you have managed to put the abandoned tag on it.
That only aplies if he posts on Patreon, or whatever site he uses for billing, the rules for abandoned tag are: 3 months without any post on billing site or 18 months without an update, so this game has the requirements for the abandoned tag, since it's been close to 4 months since the last Patreon post, and no, Discord means absolutely nothing, if the dev can't take 10 minutes to make a post in patreon every 3 months to update on the progress, for me it shows that he doesn't care about the game.
It's the biggest sign that things for the game are in the shitter. It's the same pattern every time. Dev stops interacting with the community, Devs Patreon postings slow down to a crawl. Eventually they retreat to their discord and that's usually that. There hasn't been much time since the last post but the tell tale signs are there already.
Bare witness is fine, they're just taking more time because next update will be the last, they're making all the endings in 1 go, so in a few months, it should get the completed tag, unless the devs are lieing (doesn't seem likely tho) the only thing left is rendering a lot, if you look through the last few pages, you will probably find some posts of the devs telling people what's left.
