So is Elysion deader than a doornail? Palemaster stopped the pause on his Patreon, and thus started charging again, but has not had a status update or any communication for almost 2 months. It is not looking good.


If so, this one, along with The Changing Season, and Oath of Loyalty make 3 very good games that were abandoned in the last couple of months, just as they were getting good.
How unfortunate.
So many good games are abandoned these days, feels like the "end" of the pandemic means quite a few people no longer have the time to develop games. Of the three you mentioned Elysion had the most potential, seems that TCS was "remastered" but then abandoned, and Oath of Loyalty was completed? Wish developers had the balls to admit that they aren't able to continue and stop charging people.

The Dev from TCS moved out of the country for school and unfortunately his studies prevent him from working/making money off of Patreon/Subscribe Star so he paused them both. He did say he wants to finish that story and his other project, even if its on a longer release schedule, as a hobby via Itch.io. Long story short, not "aboned", just on a super slow release schedule.

Very true. I guess a side effect of all the people working from home, or furloed from their job due to COVID, is more work on their games.

Also, just for completeness, not to belabor the point, but the dev of Oath of Loyalty said that unless he received 6 times the current Patreon income immediately, he would no longer develop Oath of Loyalty. Then suddenly said it was completed, despite ending on a cliffhanger. So, abandoned by any other name.

I can always hold out home some of these will be developed in the future, but if the dev goes silent, and Patreon income dwindles, it doesn't seem likely.

Yeah, too many people all look at how much the 1% of devs make and think they will make the same. And then there's the long hours and the abuse if you miss any deadline or take just slightly too long putting out updates. Not sure why so many people hopped onto the idea of making AVN but I'm sure we will see a lot more abandoned games than new games in the next few months. Elysion was promising, sure there was the sex club that a lot of us didn't care for but it seemed that palemaster was going to mitigate the overall impact of it on the overall story... Guess we should all be used to the aboned games at this point. This one was just getting good.

I am afraid the dev has dissappeared, both here and in patron, discord. Needs abandoned tag.
What are you talking about? He logged in on this forum yesterday. Also the last post on patreon was in september and you need 3 months without any news for the game to get the abandoned tag.

It is leaning to the abandoned tag though, the dev said he has some real life issues

I doubt the dev will abandon it, the most likely scenarion is that the game gets the on hold tag.
If it was going to get an "on hold" tag though the dev could have asked for it at any time. There is no waiting period for that tag and it would remove any confusion that people may have regarding the future of the game. As would a post either here or on Patreon keeping people aware of what is going on. As of now there's been no communication since September and that makes the "aboned" tag likely.

Hi !

But without communication or anything that proof the dev / project is alive... It's difficult for us to be patient, especially for those giving a participation / help for this project.

On my side, without any news, I cancel everything.
That's sad because this project, story, graphic / art was really amazing...

The Subscribestar account is pending approval. Not sure how long that is taking these days, it seems likely that it's less than six weeks suggesting that the dev is active. The dev commented on Ich.io back in mid August that he'd returned to working on the game after taking some time off. Having declared that he was working on the game, an on hold tag would be inappropriate. We'll just have to see what happens going forward.

Quick quackstion, trolling through the comments and reviews but didn't really find much, but what is the NTR in the game, want to see if its "avoidable" or just skippable but still happens offscreen, or if its just the MC NTR'ing someone else. One of the reviews says the MC was cheated on and is pissed off, but starts focusing on Elysion, and brings girls there, which is the name of a swinging club? iF the MC is mad about cheating why is he bringing his girls to a swinging club? Any help is appreciated.

The back story is that the MC's wife cheated on him and the daughter isn't actually his. Aside from that, she is considered missing/presumed dead by the events of the story and does not actually appear. It's all just been the MC sticking it everywhere.
