that's totally different game. very linear and players don't have any control on happenings.Are you sure? I thought the story was about Gumdrop fucking his Patrons

That's funny. I was actually thinking while playing the Christmas special I wonder if this is all a metaphor for the games development.

Would you look at that, I downloaded the game again just to take a look, and kaspersky detected something

Yeah I've just did it, It's probably a false positive because only 2 antivirus detected something, but I'd rather not take the risk

to be honest he gave us a clue about his work (gumDROP games), he is innocent we just didn't see that he was warning us.

it is abandoned since no updates or actual developing past ~3 years and dev just keeps milking his patrons with teasers (nothing to do with game) and promising update on year xxxx (update being just around corner just bit ironing needed) and 1 reason was that scamdrop and coder/whatever got into "arguments" and "parted" their ways and since then scamdrop has been "searching" new coder/whatever so next update was and has been postponed indefinitely.
quite likely scamdrop shares patreon monies with that person who "left" scamdrop. if that other person actually exists at all.
Okay, you could say it's semantics, but it wasn't abandoned. Gumdrop still exists, he still makes money on the ghost of his game.
It's being held for ransom. And just like every handbook out there says you don't negotiate with terrorists, people got suckered into negotiating with the terrorist Gumdrop.
The net result is that it's just like being abandoned, only you have some hope that it will resume at some point.
Reason? It doesn't need any reason. If you need an actual reason, pick anything: greed, laziness, incompetence. If Gumdrop was able to hire an artist/coder/copywriter in the past, he could do it again. If he was doing it on his own, he could keep going.
Simply put, there's no actual reason for the game not to continue.
My recent theory is that Gumdrop was in financial trouble, sold his Patreon campaign, copyright to the game and story and rights to his assets and promised to keep his mouth shut. When the new owner saw he was losing patrons, he commissioned Gumdrop to make the Christmas special. After that, he may or may not have contacted Gumdrop again to make Part X, but could have shopped around for new artists, coders and writers to finish the game.
The only snag is that anybody willing to buy a Patreon campaign would want to get the most out of it and would quite likely be competent enough to hire people to run and complete the project.
Meanwhile, the original Gumdrop started another project, maybe even finished it, and wants nothing to do with Dual Family ever again.

cxx and fotogaik thank you both i played this game before i knew about this website but i was never able to continue it cause of the slow updates now knowing i have a great understanding of it . should i still play it again ? since signs of two viruses in the files?
LOL Gumdrop is still promising part X this year. I've seen that date change so many times over the past year since I discovered VN's and supported him on Patreon for six months. Folks, don't believe the hype!
