I already posted this on another thread to a game that also got the "abandoned tag", but Ill mention it here also.

"I really wish platforms like F95 would create a system where developers are requested to share their assets, notes, story and developing data to be made public to any other developers in the event that after a year or such of no development or contact. That way maybe someone else can take these great ideas and assets to complete what was started rather than let it sit there and be snuffed out.

I know its not as easy as I wrote it or as feasible but something like this would be great for those games that often are just never got a good chance or conclusion. This is not necessarily a fault of the developers, life happens and all that but it could be something that is proposed or maybe even used as incentive when developers post their games here? Anyway, just an idea, a rough one but I'm sure you lot get the point."
Well... it's not as if Xenorav made a contract with F95, or as if they provided him the money to buy the 3D models he needed to create Heart Problems. This is piracy site after all. Even the threads here aren't made by the devs themselves, at least not by all of them.

Besides, this is just Xenorav being Xenorav. As always, he disappears for months, the ABANDONED tag arrives, and sometime later he suddenly returns with the new update and everybody gets happy. It's always the same thing with this dev and it will surely never change.

I get all this, its pretty obvious. Though what I said is an idea, or concept, how it would work, if at all would require some planning. Whether its posted here, on some other site, wherever it may be formally and officially listed to buy/support. The hosting party requesting the dev to distribute or provide the public with such data, code, assets etc to carry on production of said game in the event the dev stops developing, dies, loses interests whatever, would at least provide some tiny chance that someone else can pick it up again. I mean the party hosting it could retain the "rights" of it and potential developers can request the data and even pay a % to the original dev, there are many options I guess, many ideas that I am sure others can think of that could make something like this work. Ultimately the idea is just to keep a good game alive, some may support it others pirate it, but it doesnt change the fact the idea has some validity no?

İm %100 agree with you especially Xenorav is very good at this thing and Heart Problems is masterpiece for me i wish developer's share their data,workflow,assets,tools or which software they are using besides daz this way everything would have been much easier for the new developer's.
No thanks. I love to see new cucks developers with AI and bad renders, it's fun. :coffee:

Don't worry xenorav will definitely come back maybe with the release of the first part he knows how popular the game is and if he doesn't want to make the game he might sell it to another studio

how come this one got the tag and Radiant (especially) and BAD didn't?
Unlike the other 2 you mentioned, there have been progress reports on Patreon, etc. Both also haven't hit 18 months yet.

  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.

I mean there hasn't been anything from the dev in over 3 months, so that's why it got the tag, it's been radio silence.

If Xeno jumped on F95 and told you guys there would be no further update, would there be a community push to take over the project? I have looked at the fan art and some of it is very impressive. We could put together a dream team of artists and script writers to not only finish this chapter out, but start new ones.

Are we really going to let one jaded developer with a motivation problem burn this project to the ground? Xeno is skilled but you all as a collective he can never compete with.

Seens like a reoccurring theme that our favorite titles are run by the worst developers, we really need to change that narrative. We have tools at our disposal today we could have only dreamt of 10 years ago.

Seriously, what are we waiting for?

No one picked up AOA, i doubt anyone will pick up Heart Problems.
