The game is back! I knew it wouldn't be abandoned! Great news! We are waiting for the update)

Yes, the VN is still in development. I had to take time away, but I started working on it again in September. Suffice to say there are reasons why I took a break and why I haven't been communicating, though whether anyone would think those reasons are justified is a separate matter. Those reasons are personal, and I don't hold it against anyone for being apprehensive about my interest in developing the VN.
I'm slowly working on Chapter 3, which is far more complicated to render, write, and code than anything before it. No estimate on when it will be done, but nearly all of the major roadblocks to rendering a massive club scene are resolved and it's mostly a matter of making progress as time allows. Since I can't work on it every day and can't commit to a schedule, I will continue to freeze Patreon payments. I haven't collected a cent since March, I think, and for now that will remain my position.
Anyways, I hope everyone has a pleasant holiday and new year.

Well Tessa is finally back so thankfully it will no longer be abandoned. Though because she hasn’t been able to work on it for a year-ish it’s still technically abandonedSuch a nice game with potential cannot be abandoned at all, we knew that guys right?
I would personally argue that it should be classified as 'on hold' rather than 'abandoned'. However, my view matters little compared to the somewhat nonsensical standards of this forum in that regard.Well Tessa is finally back so thankfully it will no longer be abandoned.

I mean, as far as anyone knew this game was abandoned. It hasn't been updated in over a year, without word from Tessa until very recently. That kind of meets all the qualifications of abandoned, by any reasonable standard. Now that Tessa is back, perhaps we could argue that it's "On Hold" but I would imagine that on a list of priorities changing status from "Abandoned" to "On Hold" is pretty low. Especially considering there still isn't a time frame for the next release, or what, if any, has been worked on for the last year.I would personally argue that it should be classified as 'on hold' rather than 'abandoned'.

Also she hasn't yet posted anything on her own Discord (don't know about her Patreon, not a member there).I mean, as far as anyone knew this game was abandoned.

Imo, the mere fact that you disabled all patreon tiers already disproves the fact that this was a rip off or scam. You collected voluntary money when there were active updates and as soon as something in your life got in the way you prevented people from giving you more. This is a very respectful thing to admit that a lot of people already don't.View attachment 4364428

IIrc, F95 policy is that once the abandoned tag goes up it doesn't come down until there's actually an update.Shouldn't the Abandoned tag be removed then if the developer responded?
Well, Tessa may surely be my guest by giving an update!!!!! That would be the first new year present.IIrc, F95 policy is that once the abandoned tag goes up it doesn't come down until there's actually an update.
Only gets removed on an actual update.Shouldn't the Abandoned tag be removed then if the developer responded?
Hell yeah! End of last year saw some updates of my favourite VNs. Sad thing is they only last for so Long. So I really could do with another update of something major now.Well, Tessa may surely be my guest by giving an update!!!!! That would be the first new year present.
Weeeeellllll, there was a post here on this forum from the dev's account saying that. The Discord is still a ghost town, however, so color me skeptical. At this point I'm suspecting someone hacked the F95 account, because why in the world would you only post here, and not on your own frigging Discord?I haven't checked this thread in a long time and I am very glad to see the dev is working on the game again. This game is way too good to be abandoned.
Check date.View attachment 4450430
From dev's patreon.
Considering it's the 16th of January, the 31st part should have caught their eye, even if the 24/25 disparity didn't.Check date.
January last year.
I'm thinking the rumours of the dev returning have been greatly exaggerated.
