I hate to say it but I think this game is chalked. Dev hasn't been here since Feb of last year smh. It's like most of the good games I really like are getting abandoned as of late
The dev doesn't post anywhere besides Patreon, not Discord, not anywhere and never has.

The game can be marked abandoned anyway, it's past the 3-month threshold and his Patreon has been under review for little over 2-3 weeks already.

And since Patreon has nuked dev's for less (the game obviously is for incest), I wouldn't hold out hope if I was you lot about Patreon reinstating his Patreon.

If the patreon page gets reinstated then there is still some hope. If not then the game is probably dead forever.
And it would also mean that he's still " alive " and such an indicator (page back up) would force him to come out of his hole. Is he willing to do that ? Financially-wise, yes, as long as this is his only source of income. But, we don't have any proof he didn't get a new job in the past weeks.

If you remember, he said that he dropped his real-life job to solely focus on the game. Unless he still lives at his parent's house or got a wife who's helping, there are bills to pay. How is he making out a living since he dropped everything IRL ? Now, add the whole prison drama that fell on him 2 months ago...Is it true ? We don't have any proof...

To conclude, his " weekly progress reports " were never respected either. Tbh, I saw so many Devs acting like him in the past 7 years, before games were abandoned that I don't specially mind. Games come and go like cash in your wallet. What annoys me is the lack of honesty and communication.

It's just so sad to recognize how much talent this guy has and how he is wasting it. Even with the lack of updates and communication he shortly became one of the most popular devs on patreon. Imagine what would be if he would be consistent in communication and updates? Since his page has been under investigation for some time now I also think the game is done for. If he would've cared he would've shown a sign of life and the page would've returned if he would add some changes patreon requires. Since NOTHING happened you only can imagine that he does no longer care and is lazy af. Game now should change its name to "Hearbroken" cause that's what most of us are right now.

wooow what a surprise:eek: no one saw it coming with all those steady updates, patreon rules and everything else :(
luckily he managed to release v0.9 (where mc finally fucks amelie) just in time before patreon purge.:WeSmart:

abandoned tag incoming...
only curious if this thread will turn into another demon boy, aoa and similar zombie-threads or it will get some well (for some time now) deserved rest.
thought sarcasm was quite obvious, yet forgot this is the zoooone:BootyTime:
He's just trolling.
just stating some facts in more or less serious manner.
sorry if your (delicate) feelings were hurt in that process...

It seems another game "Power Vacuum" patreon is also under review, patreon is doing something...
They've been doing something since October/November of last year.

White knights are out reporting games. And they are linking them to F95.

Here is just one that got hit


Small update. My Patreon has been suspended.

Per our guidelines, creators must demonstrate consent between adult participants or characters in all Adult/18+ works; specifically, a freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of consent by a statement or by a clear affirmative action. Additionally, participants and characters must be able to give consent (i.e. not be under the influence of alcohol, drugs, hypnosis, blackmail).

-------------------------------------------------

They linked this forum page. Apparently a part of working at Patreon involves surfing smut websites. Can anyone suggest what exactly might be violating their guidelines? Is it the fact that everyone likes Eve? In a supernatural way?

Damn. Patreon really loves to hate all things we love here on f95.

I admire the DEV of "Straitened Times", though not really the best of the best games out here because of the highly criticized sandbox mechanics, he didn't sacrifice his craft and proceeded to just find another site that does not restrain his project the way he intended it to be.

On the other hand, I can respect what others had to go through, the DEV of "Life of Santa County" had a major plot overhaul just to abide with the Patreon ruling and left the fans of the game to make a loophole for themselves to preserve the canon story.

The Patreon Purge continues :(

Because dev's lose more than 50% (if not more) of their revenue leaving Patreon, SS is the site nowadays where games go to die half the time.

And no LISC only added one line which easily fixed which it has been...

That is not the only reason, many banks are now blacklisting SS, credit cards don't work half the time, some work then the next week they won't, creators can't collect their payouts, some creators 2 years later and SS still has verified and gave them an account, and their support system well let's be honest there isn't one. The issues go on and on. Their reddit is filled with the same complaints on a daily basis.
