this game was my first renpy game
so sad
so sad
an example of a game being abandoned completely is Reluctant Archon. unfortunately it has been a little over 2 yrs since dev last said anythingPlease note - the game has been tagged as "Abandoned" based on the rules of this site. One of those rules is, if there's no communication from the developer for more than three months regarding the status of the game, it is considered to be abandoned. To the best of my knowledge, this is not a case of the developer announcing that work on the game has been halted.
It's certainly possible that the dev will release a new update tomorrow.
However, historically, it's never a good sign when the dev stops updating his patrons on the status of his work for several months.
That would be great... if the visual novel wasn't tagged as abandoned.i just want more updates and more sex!! btw please add a gallery, there is no reason to not have one nowdays
Of course, because he wants to "MoolahMILK" as much money as he can.The developer's Patreon site is still present. The developer's Discord is still up and running.
None of this is remotely truewhether or not any given dev follows the vers coventions, NORMAL programming convention is vers.01 for an initial "proof of concept" type release. Then .X for major updates, generally understood by default to be in approx 10% increments toward project completion. A game vers .53 for ex, would indicate approx 1/2 completed with 3 minor updates/bugfixes applied. Vers 1.0, indicates a completed project; possibly pending bug fixes, but intended content is done.
F for the people waiting on progress for the sister.MC's sister is going to be sitting on that bench drinking a Slurpee looking preggers for the rest of time.
Well said. I saw the abandoning point and was concerned but when you actually play the game through to the end of the current build, they made extreme emphasis that there was a LOT of content coming in the next update with preview shots, emphasizing that there was a lot of content to sort scenario wise in the upcoming plots. With that in mind, if they had anything going on vacation wise? That could easily bump up the timeframe. So don't lose hope people.Please note - the game has been tagged as "Abandoned" based on the rules of this site.

The developer's Patreon site is still present. The developer's Discord is still up and running. The developer might be hard at work on a new version - or have died - or have been kidnapped by a rogue tribe of giant pygmy penguins and dragged off to darkest Antarctica. We simply dont know.
It is not about people losing hope, it is about the developer themselves not caring to preserve any hope people hadWell said.

Spoken by someone not very familiar with this developer. Moolah was supposed to release the end of season 1 by the end of 2022. We are in July 2023, which is over half the year gone with no update since February which was a minor update IMO. I believe the developer has painted himself into a corner and has no real idea how to proceed with his game as he created too many characters too soon without resolving anything with any of the core characters. With that point in mind, I'm not even sure if there are core characters or if everyone is a core character as Evelyn, who I thought was a one off character at the bar, has already gotten more content than Mia, Sophia, or the red head, I forgot her name since after having that one night stand with her or getting blue balled if you played the good guy, there has been no content released involving her.Well said.

This scenario is entirely Moolah's own fault, and having a giant pile of characters with not a single meaningful story amongst any of them is why I hate harem content.Spoken by someone not very familiar with this developer.

I freely admit, coming into this story a year ago, I was expecting several characters with (for want of a better word) powers to be revealed and come together as a group; and, to work to resolve various police cases (and/or, the mystery behind the anomalies themselves). I haven't played the most recent update, but at the point where I'd stopped we had resolved one case, worked on but not resolved another, and had located two characters with abilities (note that I'm including Mia, though I don't think she's shown any powers yet). Plus, we'd messed around with at least three other women (the invisible girl's mom; the Cafe owner's girlfriend; and the lady in the bar bathroom - possibly the doctor at the lab too) and worked through a complicated escape when getting involved with bad guys linked to the bar, but not (that I know of) linked to any of our police cases. From what I've read, the church case is still unresolved, and the updates have pushed the (independent) case surrounding the bar forward.This scenario is entirely Moolah's own fault, and having a giant pile of characters with not a single meaningful story amongst any of them is why I hate harem content.
Harem content can be amazing and filled with tons and tons of meaningful story and backstory for the characters. You literally have several to tons of LIs that you can develop deep and rewarding history and stories for. Unfortunately, most of the harem AVNs have the concept of "porn first, story second" so many fall flat and are just the concept of fuck a lot of girls and be finished.This scenario is entirely Moolah's own fault, and having a giant pile of characters with not a single meaningful story amongst any of them is why I hate harem content.
"A good...harem...story?" What's that?I love harem content, I hate lazy devs and writers who don't know how to flesh out a good harem story.
