Little bit sad, but i guess it is better than simple abandoning it.
Unfortunately, for multiple reasons, I am no longer able to develop and/or maintain this game.
I don't want to kill this game, especially seeing as there are already lots of fans.
So I decided to turn game open source (but not public domain).
This way any person interested in improving or fixing game may do so freely, as long as conditions in !readme!.txt are met.

Thank you very much for your support, it meant a lot to me! I didn't plan to end it this way, but real life can change plans really quickly.
I will look for maintainer and likely will transfer f95zone thread ownership and will provide discord roles to keep game community going.
As for my own participation, i can't promise anything, but i will check discord and f95 sometimes, maybe will provide some support, but as mentioned no promises.
As for reasons, it is complicated. While i had my doubts about commercial success of this game, i didn't planned to stop developing it, maybe just slowing things down. But recent political events, war and heavy mutual sanctions
really messed lots of my business contacts. So last couple of weeks i was salvaging what i could and reconnecting with almost lost contacts. Generally, i believe NSFW games landscape will change heavily due to this, as there are
manyinvisible russian developers, artists, writers, either outsourcing or whole teams. As payment way will become more and more problematic, including crypto, teams will break apart, losing integral members, best case scenario being long delays and change of quality/style.
Once things settle down a bit i may take bit more active role in DSCS development, but for now i'm dealing with business fallout.
Thank you for understanding.
If you can understand anything in game sources and interested in becoming maintainer/developer, contact me, please.
