The truth could always be worse. This game is one of those I truly want to give the benefit of the doubt no matter what. It's obvious they've stagnated in the current state of the game, but I still want to think it's just a phase for improvement later.

Sadly any "dying" game that shifts to heavy monetisation will only speed up the process.
There's no exception AFAIK.
Not to mention they don't even bother to show goodwill anymore at this point.

As much as I'd like to give the benefit of doubt, updates starting to get pretty ass and paywalling balance changes and bugfixes of all things suddenly really feels like trying to cash in whatever's left of FS instead of anything useful for the game.
Especially recently where updates have just consisted of whatever oc do not steal getting all the worthwhile content since that's really the only thing getting done i guess and then a few small bug fixes and balance changes which are now backer exclusive. Really feel like supporting them now for... the player cot weighing less, woo.
I'm pretty confident this isn't a stagnant phase to work on anything big though, Godot port is dead, and the next / upcoming stuff is... Artwork Classification and more Galaxite stuff. Being able to sort artwork is probably nice for those who care but i don't and iirc a majority of characters don't have portraits anyway, but that means for like the third update in a row the only real content upcoming is more Galaxite which means if you don't really care for them tough luck year of Galaxite.
Edit: reading the upcoming parts of their update blog i think some stuff got cut like the Fang / Altus and Blanche / Sturm interactions? idk if they just didn't get around to doing them or what
Edit 2: Answered my own question and tried out Galaxite's content, actually had to sit through actually maybe close to 30 paragraphs in a row while she turned into tiamat or something and flexed her super cool powers holy fuck that was tediously long to sit through
Damn, these updates suck ass.
If someone pings me when there will be some new content with: Carl, Korvin, Sarah, Spike, Fang or Nermine. i will give you this Heart thingy or something.

It's actually baffling how all of the planned content for Sturm, Blanche, the rest of their family/pack and basically everyone other than Galaxite has just...vanished. Not even a trace. It's so blatant they don't even give a shit anymore when even the original planned content has been utterly discarded in favor of a tediously long questline for an overdrawn OC that nobody wanted.
The writing was already on the wall when they did all that content (and were still doing until relatively recently) for that Augustus Drake guy or whatever the fuck along with his associated characters and you could barely interact with any of them without either fucking things up for yourself because no messing with the fancy new character even though he has those events written in or you needed specific mutations to grt access to anything bryond the surface level. Want to mutate Drake so you can fuck him? Oops, now he hates you and any interaction you have with him if you aren't female or a herm is him telling you to get fucked and refusing even basic business with you. Want to interact with his cat wife? Her primary interest and main focus quest is in mutating Drake, so tough nuts. Their adopted taur daughter? Need to be a taur yourself and engage in a fuckton of hoops for a quest you probably won't even give a shit about. So on and so forth. It just reeks of them caring about their personal OCs and keeping them 'pure' over actually making them fit the setting and logic of the game.
I also find it really funny that they made it so you can save Vincent, and then when you do it turns out he has next-to-no content and is basically utterly useless beyond taking up space in the library. They lightly tease and nudge you with the idea of making him an orc breeder personally both before and after bringing him in, so you think you can get a version of Val you can keep for yourself, but any attempt to do so invariably results in him booking it and you losing out on any further content - not that there's much else to him. Even letting him drink orc cum like that one conversation does ultimately does nothing and goes nowhere. And since he's clearly never getting updated again, there's no reason to wait on new content for him or bother saving him when getting Chris is so much better overall.
It just really feels like they make all these new characters and changes out of spite for the existing game and setting. And at that point I have to wonder why they don't just go and make their own if they dislike the crux of FS or even working on anything that isn't related to their own OCs so much.
At this point the game is more of a recollection of WIP characters than anything else. Remember when the update notes used to take 10 minutes and several scrolls to read? Man, those were the good times.
Oh, so not only were the updates before super tiny and boring, but now they're also cut in half just to milk more cash? Brilliant, just brilliant! That'll definitely save the game. *facepalm*
Well... A developer of the game here. This project is heavily outgrowing the current engine. The team does try hard, but builds constantly fail due to the sheer size of the project and the current engine being unable to compile it without direct changes to it. We are looking into alternatives and are trying our best to solve it, but the process is very slow. Other than these news, I am not sure what I can say as I'd rather not leak out parts that are not to be said to the public.
It is pretty Cringe, with a deserved capital C, I was cool with the whole Dragon Queen stuff, but than they came in with the "It was DnD the whole time!" which just made it lame as fuck.
I thought this chick was figuring this shit out on her own, but she's just a meat puppet, even if there will be a path to 'steal' Tiamats power, your ass is still left holding the bag having to hold back the whole DnD verse, I don't know how that is in the 'modern' slop version, but in 3.5 that's hell you're walking into.
I just wanted to be the knight who lays dragons or the big lizzard, not this shit.
So?
CoC died (Still more good than other)
CoC 2 completely for subby dom futa lovers that wants to be castrated/sisified or want impregnate every bimbo toilet.
TiTs same as CoC 2
Lilith's Throne died three months ago
Flexible Survival paywalled huge amount of content, no one will give a fuck about this content after quarter of a year. (obviously the game is dying)
Strive for Power is dead, the sequel (prequel?) is functionally worse, the style is unironically shittier. (Fans will defend that shit, lol.)
Fall of Eden was abandoned by its author many years ago (The original version wasn't bad, a mini rework after years of downtime ruined it)
Bonfire (if you like gay bara orcs). A dump in which almost nothing has changed in 10 years. I'd like to remember the downtime in adding actual content and story in the amount of 5 years where the developer only cares about the online component.
There was Carnal Souls (only useless demo ) The cocksucker made a couple tens of thousands of dollars in development and fed the morons who gave him money for 8 years. Then he disappeared.
Just don't give these fuckers any money and they'll start doing the work they promised or shut down the project.
If you give them money for not fucking doing anything, the project will still be closed, but you'll still pay for it, getting a dick-shaped hat with “ntr cuckold” written on it

There are people who couldn’t give less of a heck what a project’s creator does. Blackgate still squeezes 300 euros out of 80 morons, even though the empty updates stopped in October. Damn, I bet if Bane dropped an update with a dick on the cover and wrote under it — ‘My slaves, suck on this all month!’ — people would still smash the like button and give him money.

Wait, Lilith's Throne Died again? How many times by now? Or it's "officially" dead for good this time?
Also bold of you to assume if ppl stop to give them money, they will start working.
Anyone who's in for the money, will always find other ways, or just do MVP (Minimum Viable Product).
(Could I ask you also add "Lust" to the list )
These projects are essentially "Live Service Games but Porn", and how many good live service games you can name?
Not sure why you are so angry about stupid people wasting their money,
These games are not dead or "inshitificated" because of them, but these devs can't actually deliver.
It'll only be bad if these shitty games gain the monopoly on the market (where leave you no other options),
But the fact is There are still devs out there making good or even Finished games, Not too many but still a handful.
It actually happens a lot. If a formerly well-received project is in stagnation for too long, ppl with latent who were actually making the game will move on; or if it's the same person they lose their drives.
What's left are those who just wish to sit on it for profit, and will eventually squeeze desperately when they can't sit still anymore. TBH I can't recall a single exception.

Has anyone else begun noticing more broken event triggers? Not only are half of Susan's sex scenes missing or unable to trigger, but I can't seem to get Orthas's second quest to work either. I'm sure even more is broken, but I'm not going to go through it like a bug tester.
Do I wanna know what a Galaxite is and why the Godot port that everybody was hype for is suddenly 6 feet under? Holy Hell what happened to my favorite furry fuck text adventure?

Hey man, love the game and content, just hope y'all are doing alright. Seems like the community is getting really tired of what they're seeing releasing, and I'm not a game dev so take what I next state with the largest grain of salt;
It might be better to just.. Nose to grindstone that new engine port you all have been working on. I've been playing FS for several years and the "The New Engine is coming, this one is just too stacked!" has been a constant reminder that seems to not really go anywhere.
I'm sure switching to the new engine is a herculean task, but at some point I think it's better to say "It's done when it's done. Mark the game abandoned if there's no update in X months but it'll be here when its ready" and do it that way then just.. Small piecemeal changelogs.
You know how gamers can get - Now make them horny gamers with blueballs... Yikes.
