Im well aware.. im also aware that the actual good ones are also on a long dev cycle too like summer Gone and Where It All Began.. hell those are just two from the same author.. theres also AoA but now thats gone the way of the dodo too.. fact is its hard to find a GOOD time filler that has that same level of emotion and character depth.. and when you think you have finally found one it very often gets abandoned, on Hold or turns out to be someone more interested in cashing in than having a genuine good narrative to tellThere's literally 100+ BAD clones and ripoffs that I know of (probably far more) that are half as good (mostly due to not nearly the $ investment put into them). School/College-setting AVNs with hardly any tags are literally as common as sand in the Sahara. In general rather than wait 6 months or more for an update I just don't get into AVNs too much with more than a 2-3 month release schedule (determined via waiting until 3rd or 4th update and checking history). That way I don't have to try to remember what the story was about or what the MC was doing last year (when I can barely remember what I had for breakfast yesterday) and I don't have to juggle too many (25-30 will keep most anyone busy if updates are not delayed too much). After a few rounds of recent abandoned ones I'm really considering not doing AVNs at all that are not already completed, disappointment has a bad aftertaste.
