Yeah, if the dev won't even respond to supporters, they're definitely not going to want to deal with the tedious process of transferal of permissions and assets to another dev/team who wants to take over the game
Yeah, very sober and sensible answer to the question, if I'm not doing anything and I'm receiving over $5,000 a month, why am I doing all this and what's the point of doing it?I don't get why some people just succinctly assume that the dev is even WILLING to do things such as let someone else take over, given his track record of being an absolute greedy milker.
Right now without releasing a single update in six months the subscriber count on his patreon is still more than 1k. If this thing can generate him more than 4k USD of income without any bit of effort why should he do ANYTHING that could jeopardize this lucrative gold mine.
He will not announce anything. He will not update anything. He will not transfer anything to anybody. Hanging carrots in front of all the newcomers who just stumble upon the game and hoping for update one day. Hoard this assets like dragon hoarding their golds and count the money until it dries up one day. Only then he will take any bit of action.
It's all business.
Right and if he "transfers" anything who's to say it isn't an alt account of his own making only hoping to cash in on content he's done in the meantime.I don't get why some people just succinctly assume that the dev is even WILLING to do things such as let someone else take over, given his track record of being an absolute greedy milker.

Moolah has been lurking here after March, but has since disabled "online status" in his account, presumably to be left alone.I mean, there is also the possibility something actually happened to him. He hasn't been active here since March, which is when he stopped updating the patreon or replying on discord as well.
For all we know he may be dead and we're here talking shit about him.
Even if it's not something that serious, I talked with him back when the game was gaining traction and he seemed too into it/passionate about making it good to be just wanting to scam people. Hell, the effort that went into it visually compared to the usual Honey Select game already makes me doubt he stopped updating just because "making money, why work lmao" and not because some situation is keeping him from it. Usually milkers do update their patreon every couple months to reassure the rubes that the game is totally bring worked on (usually saying they're revamping early parts of the game).
the way he acted when he last communicated on this forum: i'm not giving him the benefit of doubt. i would also be more inclined to feel empathetic towards him and whether something has indeed happened to him or not would be if he stopped accepting patreon money for doing literally nothing. at least early gave revamp is a plausible excuse for some ppl for a while.I mean, there is also the possibility something actually happened to him.

I mean he is more often than not on his discord, not responsive though.I mean, there is also the possibility something actually happened to him. He hasn't been active here since March, which is when he stopped updating the patreon or replying on discord as well.

If this is the very first time he pulled such vanishing act, sure you can speculate this way. Heck, even for a second time you can excuse him. But no, this is probably the third or fourth time he completed the cycle of:I mean, there is also the possibility something actually happened to him.

I see that I was misinformed then. I wasn't aware he did this kind of thing several times before.If this is the very first time he pulled such vanishing act, sure you can speculate this way. Heck, even for a second time you can excuse him. But no, this is probably the third or fourth time he completed the cycle of:
disappear - come back announcing an update is ready and coming - start posting official dates of release on patreon to lure people into subscribing - disappear and ghost everyone on the promised release day - come back after months to release a buggy 30 mins update, which clearly does not justify the 9 months dev time - promise the next update will make up to it - disappear again.
He has been doing this since late 2021. This game only received 3 or 4 updates since 2021 and none of the previous plots got completed. Mia arc. Sophia arc. Church case. All waiting for a continuation but guess what he did with the last update in Feb (which was a delayed 0.9 announced all the way back in December 2022)? He added more characters and opened new arcs. On top of that he will lectured everyone in the discord saying how he envisioned this perfect game, dodged all the questions coming at him asking why he would repeatedly lie to patreon about having an update ready to release, banned everyone who question him about his behaviours on discord, came to this forum and went rampage because people left him low star reviews while screaming he couldn't care less about what people here think, and makes about 50 promises like how he would do season 2 after complete 1.0 or whatsoever.
He then went completely MIA since March and now the official discord bot is set to response "the game is abandoned" to any question on the discord.
No one will bash an honest dev for not delivering it once in a while. But a repeated offender with no intention to communicate and acting like a total jerk like this one here? I would say he deserves it 100%.
Yeah, hoping that this game continued, if you love someone, something, you still hope and wait for it to come back..Still hoping....?
this is sadY
