Whether F95 agrees or not, I'm officially abandoning this thread :whistle::coffee:

Ashley reminds me of Quinn... I love that kind of badass chick with a soft heart. I was really looking forward to melting Ash's heart, I'll be very disappointed if this game has been abandoned.

Some kind of progress report would be very welcome, I think.

Ah... but, since nothing is actually FINISHED, there's nothing to say that won't change.
Could be, but I doubt it. Az was pretty clear that there's a story reason why only two endings: with or without Emily.
Let's actually hope we get near an ending anyway...

Damn, and here I was hoping Ashley's sister would be a target.

interesting how so many people come in here specifically to complain about how long the game is taking. like we get it, the game is taking a long time, you want a reward for pointing it out for the 50th time?
IMO people who point out that games are taking a long time, or that updates are overdue, do so in the hope that the Dev will read the thread & register the feeling of frustration & the enthusiasm to have them go on, which, just possibly, might lead to them continuing. There's not much chance of that, although sometimes the comments elicit communication from some Devs. There are authors/artists who might feel gratified that something they've left alone still maintains some interest.

There are alternatives for fans, one of which is to do absolutely nothing, which is what such an approach will achieve. Players can also just forget, or try to forget, about the story & play something else. This also does nothing to enhance the chances of the game continuing.

Halfway House is at a point where some message from the Dev would be welcome, even if, by this stage, it was just to say that it's not going to continue.

What's the point of giving me all these girls to flirt with and then forced the romance choice only on one of them? I hate these kinds of kinetic novels disguised as a more classic VN where you've a real choice in the matter.
Damn, and here I was hoping Ashley's sister would be a target.
The point is you can romance/fuck all the girls during the game. Straight from the dev:
Man so much emotion over this... Okay I'll make my self 100% clear. You can romance all the girls during the duration of your stay. You can do the dirty with them, go out on dates with the and what ever else I come up with. But in the end you will or won't only end up with one = Emily

There's a plot reason for that and I'm not changing my main story arc even if a lot of people end up hating the game because they don't like Emily or want a harem ending.

You will or wont (depending on Emily's LP) end up with Emily in the postscript in the final episode. There's still the entire game to spend time with the girl or girls you do like if you hate Emily.
Ah... but, since nothing is actually FINISHED, there's nothing to say that won't change.
Which is why it won't change, the dev has an established story outline with planned endings. It's just going to take a looong time to get there.
Some kind of progress report would be very welcome, I think.
More frequent communication would be nice, but there was a sitrep in March. Which by Az standards is fairly recent (the one before than was Jan).
IMO people who point out that games are taking a long time, or that updates are overdue, do so in the hope that the Dev will read the thread & register the feeling of frustration & the enthusiasm to have them go on, which, just possibly, might lead to them continuing.
If that's the case then they're wasting their time, the dev hasn't visited F95 since Nov 30, 2021. Though I doubt that is the motivation for most.

Some seem to be driven to 'warn' others that the dev is glacially slow, while others just feel the need to vent.

Which is fine in moderation, it's when it becomes a constant stream of complaining that it becomes annoying for other users. Anyone can see when the game was last updated, we don't need to hear about it again, and again, and again.
