Minimal effort, try reading the page your post is on. Five posts above yours is the latest explanation post.

Yeah but he doesn't explain why have passed 18 months without an update.
Are we sure that the dev is still working on it?

hopefully yes.

Wow, after just a few months it now got the Abandoned tag???

It hasn't been 18 months since the last update; the Patreon site went more than 3 months without any communication about the game.

I really hate this, the story was great, the toons weren't something to write home about, but as an ex EQ player, its the game play that matters! And the character writing and story was just lovingly written to be as funny as can be. If this is abandoned, I do how the dev comes back to make a new game or if they are burned out will find a second wind for this, it was a true gem.

I think we need to remind ourselves that this is a pirate site, getting the abandoned tag here does not mean that the dev stop working on the game, he doesn't need to follow the rules here so he won't get an abandoned tag. It seems he's active on discord (still i believe he should update on patreon once per month since is his main source of income).

Damn. They keep donating to the author. Omega lol/

That would be a trifecta of major disappointment.

All the big honey select games I've been following so far ended up in the "0.5 updates a year" path

...That is less than confidence inspiring.... As nice as it is, I suppose, to know that this game isn't dead. But, actions speak louder than words and well, the absence of which speaks volumes... and far louder than me screaming at the top of my lungs through a megaphone.

He's still getting 700$ monthly which is decent pay where I live (excluding taxes), no reason to shut it down.
For me it's sad, because now I'm pretty sure this is going to be slow and painful death of a game I really liked.
But maybe that's for better, for about 3 years the story and gameplay aren't cohesive anymore, sandbox and long story elements don't work together here and have no impact on each other, story doesn't head into any particular direction than building romance when at first it was all about corrupting, threads keep growing and each update there's more questions than actual answers.

Time to wrap it up, boys.

These over-ambitious devs keep burning themselves out. World building is no simple task and this story was branching a bit much. When they are on their manic highs, they make side stories and exta stuff, then swing the other way and disappear. This pattern keep repeating itself here.

I have written (well, more often *tried* to) a lot of large narrative projects, always with a great deal of focus on the structure and outline before even starting a single page. I have never had to write anything with persistent, anonymous pressure from a cloud of "producers," however. Even so, it strikes as me as weird that a lot of devs clearly don't have a solid outline or mindmap of where they are going.

It makes me think that a lot of these projects are really just about learrning the various tools that go into making them; scripting, graphics, video, 3d, etc. Writing is of course always an afterthought, because everyone "knows how" to read and write, right? With few exceptions.

This was the first adult game I ever got into and it's such a shame it's gone the one-update-per-year route. At least I never bought into his Patreon. Those that are still subbed might as well be getting scammed at this update pace.

this game which i very like most of the games. haizza

If the dev is gonna get $700 a month and barely do even the bare minimum, then said dev should 'not' consistently be getting $700 a month to support a project they clearly have no intention of completing in a manner commensurate to the support invested into the project by its base... If you're only gonna treat this as a hobby, then don't ask for/hint at 'volunary' monetary support. I'm honestly sick of this kind of behavior from devs.... Yeah, I get real life happens, but when a transaction is made towards a project then either work on it or stop and apologize for not living up to whatever expectations you've built up. This half assed and irresponsible attitude is inexcusable.
