Almost a year since the last update, not good.
- Thread starter Scrot
- Start date
I am starting to be worried about this, it's my favourite adult visual novel yet, and I really hope it won't stop here.
(I don't mind if it takes longer at the expense of loss in quality or the dev's wellbeing, I just hope it gets done eventually)

So close to a year without any real update... when is this getting the abandoned tag?
I would not count Patreon posts as a sign that the game is alive, too many other Devs use that to keep their simps around.

Well, when the rules for the abandoned tag are met, which they aren't, regardless of your thoughts on the matter. Also, it doesn't do much good to keep simps around when you pause payments on Patreon. In general, these issues have been addressed, multiple times, within the last month of posts. Consider searching and reading a bit in the future.

Also, even though there hasn't been a proper update in about a year, there was those six bonus episodes. I know why those were made, but still question if it was a good idea since they didn't feel like they added anything and I don't even think the fanservice in them was good.
Hey if all it takes to keep the abandoned tag away is a few lines of text on patreon then yeah... good for any Dev out there.

The only reason waiting this long for an update is so painful, is because we all know that once we get the update we're all gonna play it when it releases, and there's probably gonna be 2-3 hours of gameplay, and then we're back to waiting again. It's especially worse now, because Az already said he's gonna end Ep. 9 on a cliffhanger. After waiting this long I wish we could just have a full game, but unfortunately that's just not how the cookie crumbles. If I were the type to use emoji's, there would be a lot of sadfaces here.

If this episode delivers on story, character and relationship progression, I think I will be satisfied even with a cliffhanger. Based on what Az stated, it will be close to about the size of two updates. The issue is, the last like two updates didn't do much to move the story forward. Last update gave a few solid moments storywise and characterwise relating to Ashley, but a lot of the content was exposition with a good chunk of it not having the MC present for Ashley's talk with her grandfather plus the update was pretty much entirely revolving around that. The interaction between Ashlynn and the MC was good, but it seemed to be setting up for future episodes and who knows when we will return to that subplot. With the size and length of the update, I just hope it is used well.
I know there have been post from the dev, but this one should have had the Abandoned tag months ago.

Why isn't everybody like NLT? Easy - because NLT is an exception to the rule. That's like asking why can't everybody win as much as Brady. And I've seen people bitching about them too because their updates are sometimes too small.
Az admitted months ago that he's experiencing burnout and paused his Patreon, so he can work at his own pace without feeling like a scammer towards his supporters.
He gave consistent progress updates, and the game doesn't warrant the abandoned tag according to f95's rules. Also, judging by his latest post, we'll get the release by the end of the month, so it appears he was transparent the whole time with his progress and was indeed working on the game. Az wasn't fast anyway, so the upcoming update will be roughly the size of the two regular ones we would've been getting if all went as expected.

So Ep9 is going to be a cliff-hanger? guess I'll see you in Feb. 2023 for Ep10 and the resolution to said cliff-hanger ...

Honestly, this is one of the very few games where I do not mind having to wait.
Not a single disapointment in this one to date.

If you let that splashscreen run, you see some pictures like this one and one where Ashley is in her room changing, are those in the game?
