The Dev only planned to building the Framework, and he was successful, hence the game is "Complete".
But a "Framework" doesn't make a good game, the content is seriously lacking without more People Contributing.

What you saw on updates are from fans who contribute still, they don't have obligation, they don't owe you anything.
They just do when they feel like it.

How is that Worse? Both the Original Dev, and the people still working on it, are working on it for free, out of Passion.
You should be happy that are people still adding contents to it.
Sorry man but I wasn't complaining about the content, I was genuinely confused as to why only now was the game updated and completed since I stopped following its progression at the start of last year. Sorry for being rude.
The same applies for the previous question, why is a game marked as completed still receiving updates if they aren't DLC's or something similar?

from the Game Uploading Rules on thread prefixes:

Complete: when a game is released in its full version as stated by the developer. Note that complete games might still receive patches and post-release content.
The state of the game literally doesn't matter, all that matters is that the developer says "It's done".

In the case of this game though it seems to be people independently of the original developer who continue updating the game.

You also get supposedly completed games which still get updates in non-porn games, e.g. Terraria or Stardew Valley.

Um, but they actually don't? Just look at the changelogs - the last update that had ANY content in it was 1.8.3.0, which was released in November 2021 (which was 3,5 years ago and just a year after games initial release). After that it was just a handful of bugfixes once-in-a-year, with absolutely no new content.

I tried that, just gets a ton of errors about missing files.

Could someone please upload a proper link to the game? With an index file etc?
No need. Just download from here, then run dist/precompiled.html

If, for whatever reason, you absolutely need a file called "index.html", simply rename the "precompiled.html" to "index.html".

These types of games usually have great potential, but they have god awful UI, can you guys make these games in an actual game-engine or something instead please? :ROFLMAO:

Give the game an actual UI, and some proper gameplay flow, etc?
This is technically the thing you're asking for since it's No Haven in Twine instead of RAGS. I\m sure with enough resources there could be an even better game but where those resources are I have no idea.

It's been a few years, but I remember the framework for this game and the maintainers had fairly restrictive policies so any content that wasn't directly supported or endorsed was a hassle to add. Like you could write it, and make some hackish work arounds, but it wasn't worth the effort since you'd constantly be fighting uphill.

I think the general argument was any major modifications or additions to the systems would increase the work load of adding any content, even unrelated content, so it was best to just not support any additional systems. I think that killed them pretty much. A lot of potential contributors didn't end up contributing because they couldn't get what they wanted in the way they wanted it.

They pretty much killed any Skyrim effect from day 1. If they wanted to keep the game exactly as they wanted it, then they should have went the TiTS route of building out the game themselves using submitted writing and drafts instead of leaving all the work to the community yet still enforcing minimal to no core changes.

It's an HTML, so it's not even slightly what i'm asking for.

snip, user error

Edit: honestly, No Haven is better. I dunno, RAGS never really bothered me much but I also have an appreciation for that certain era of jank.

I think there's a Key factor you didn't get, hence all your confusion.
This is an Open-Sourced game, there's No one dedicates their work on it any more.
Only fan contributes occasionally, Where you see "Update" on GitGud.
And since it's not a popular game in the first place, not many contributors afloat.
You can literally treat anything new added to the game as "Fan mods".

The game itself is done / completed (Sadly) years ago.
