One of the requirements for the Abandoned flair is radio silence or abandonment confirmation from the dev. So if it can be shown that they're still working on a thing, Abandoned doesn't apply.
That's not what the rules says:
https://f95zone.to/threads/game-uploading-rules-2024-02-29.524/
  1. Abandoned: used in the following cases:
    • The developer states that the development has been permanently suspended.
    • After 3 months of inactivity from the developer's public creator/crowdfunding accounts (Patreon, SS, etc), we will resolve special circumstances or scenarios on a case-by-case basis (no creator accounts, creators developing for free, Patreon accounts under review/ban).
    • No game update has been released for an abnormally long period of time (>18 months).
    • Game threads that are marked On-hold for over 6 months with no game update.
    • Note: this prefix is only removed upon the release of a new update for purchase/download.
It can only be removed upon release of a new update for purchase/download. I can only assume that the mods made a special exception.

It's not a build, just a progress update
for better explain; its a video with a new overlay, new combos and hero animations, your eyes will be surprised like mine how it will change the gameplay feelings and movements! boggle bones It's easy to surprise us even when he/she is a little stressed. I feel that! :)

Okay yeah, looks like alot of work was done for the new player animations. The new hud seems to add a new heat bar. Looks like theres new moves for combat as well.

It's crazy how the last few updates have been basically re-inventing the wheel. I commend the dedication (monetary incentive or otherwise) but it seems a bit excessive.

Yeah, I like what I'm seeing regarding the changes to gameplay, but not only is this not the first time when character gameplay was overhauled (I want to say that this is a second time, but I might be wrong), but at this point the game is updated once a year, two if we're lucky, and it seems like the next update is gonna feature a whopping one new enemy and this is too bad for a porn game.
I know that the progress report says that there two more enemies that will be added "soon", but I don't believe that this will happen "soon", because there is no "soon" with this game's update history

At this point, I do think that Happy Hearts Panic has overbloated itself beyond its original conception. Despite not even having more scenes than Happy Hearts Hell, one can infer that it lifespan as a live service game has long been overdue, especially with the unusual roadblocks with the recent updates. I don't know if this is an artistic bottleneck or coding delays, but I can see that the current system is either unsustainable or, realistically speaking, heavily slowed down.

I may have studied some managerial organization both IRL and online, but I'm not sure how one can increase the pace of a pixel porn game. I'm sure Doggiebones is doing at least more than the average workload.

And again, I do think Doggie has done commendable work...but why with the CONSTANT reworking of the HUD and animations? Iirc the last three updates running, which have taken over a year and a half altogether, have had some number of completely unnecessary gameplay changes, and they've overwritten each other each time.

It's just utterly baffling that they're wasting so much time reworking things that don't need reworked...unless they're at rock bottom on creativity and really can't think of anything else to do with the game. That's not an insult either, but a suggestion to step back and just take a look at what they want the game to be. If spending half a year to constantly reinvent basic features is really what they want, this project may as well be dead.

HHP isn't a live service game, what?
I recommend you reading these articles on what is live service, or games as a service.




Most porn games that aren't completed by release usually qualifies for the term "live service", and it isn't necessarily a sin to do. But just as I respect EA's SW BFII less than Pandemic's 2005 Star Wars Battlefront II, games that rest on the laurels of feedback-assisted updates are less impressive than ones that have less updates and less impressive than completed-by-release games.
