I doubt this game is truly abandoned (again
) he'll probably drop an update in another 6000 years and go ghost again.- Thread starter N7

Yeah, most likely. It's awesome when there's an update, but the wait is worse than a queue at a Disney park.I doubt this game is truly abandoned (again

It's a bit presumptuous to say he's "doing nothing". Not having a release out doesn't mean he's not working on his next update. To be clear, I'm not saying he has, either: there's no evidence either way, since there's no communication about anything. Typically there are crickets for months and months (even over a year sometimes) and then suddenly a new update shows up. That's standard for this developer, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if he is actually working on the next release.
But it's definitely hard to know what's going on. I just hope he's not in the big war going on in eastern Europe, because that's always a risk. I can't remember if he's Russian or Ukrainian, so maybe the war doesn't matter, either. I'm not sure.

You're right, of course, presumptuous of me to say "doing nothing". Still, the fact there's not even a single quick post letting us know what's going on is enough to put a frown on anyone's face to say the least.

Oh, I didn’t know that He is also from Ukraine...
It’s strange why the game doesn’t have a Ukrainian or at least ruzzian language officially...
p.s. Thanks for the information, this is one of my favorite games, I just finished the last update the other day

I hope that he and all other soldiers on either side of the war get home safely....
I know that is not gonna happen, but let´s just hope so that he and all the others can go back home one day and celebrate that they are still alive

I don't buy into that he is Ukrainian thing at all. Call me a narcissist skeptic but a lot of dev used that excuse to milk more of their patrons. And with the track record of this particular dev, where he tells update is ready and just need finishing touches. Then disappear for year after showing just one render progress report makes it hard to believe him.
Being Ukrainian was an instant sympathy card and many abused it.
Or I could be totally wrong and dev might really have been killed in war in Ukraine and come looking out as an total asshole on internet but i think i can take my chances here.

This is one of the best games with the abandoned tag on this site
It's always sad seeing that tag next to the name of a game you really like

The Tag mean nothing really in this specific case. Perv2k16 is (in)famous for vanishing for quit some time.
Most likely at some point in the future he materializes a new update out of thin air, then vanish again.
And the loop starts again.

I didn't realize people were trying to justify delays by his nationality. Perv2k16 may be from that country, but this happened long before Putin saw Zelenskyy's shaved ass and got a hardon. Like WICKEDp4th says, this has been going on for a long time. It's now 2023 and the OP of this thread is 2018 — before the war and before the bat herpes.
The dev does a great job with his art, but he's a perfectionist, like several others. Some claim it's milking, but the problem is never being satisfied. You can always find something you want to improve on with your creation, trust me. But at a certain point you have to move forward or your entire life will be one long, incomplete work.

There's no way to know. I would watch this thread and keep your saves (if you've played through current content already), but otherwise move on. In the past, Perv2k16 has released an update and then gone quiet for 1 or even 2 years, then released another update. It's thus really hard to gauge whether this latest radio silence means it's abandoned or just if the dev hasn't bothered to post any update news.

Have to say holy shit, never thought I would actually see some activity in this thread, this was one of the few games that I had on watch that got buried deep into recess of my list.
So imagine my surprise as I am scrolling the notifications tab and see this sub-forum highlighted.

Yeah, I get surprised myself when I see a post over here. If pattern holds for the developer, some update will show up without notice in May or somewhere around there. Like I said previously, the lack of communication makes knowing what to expect impossible, though.

Yeah, these devs with disappearing as part of their MO makes it hard to know what's going on ever. IIRC, this dev was Russian, so that may or may not factor into whether this gets updated in the future.
Particularly depending upon the region he's in. If that's the case, game updates are certainly the least of his concerns. But whatever the reason, I have in my mind put this game in the past. I was even a little surprised to see activity in the thread! Three times now I have replayed this thing from the beginning when a new update was released. Simple reason I completely forgot the gameplay because the update time took so long. I liked the game, mind you, but if a new update were to come out now, I'd have to do that again. So I'll pass. Someday in the distant future I may be surprised to find this game show up here or somewhere else with a completed tag on it. If hell freezes over and that ever happens, I'll invest the time. Until then, thanks anyway. Too annoying to get to another year long cliff hanger.

Never thought I would see an activity here, Last I remember of this game it stopped me around the gym - the shower/toilet? area and never saw another update since then.
