This game is so good. Pleaseeeeee continue. This was one of the best.
- Thread starter BESEV

I hope the developer will recharge their batteries soon and find some motivation to keep on developing this game.

This is simply a reminder of the Review/Rating rules, the rule N°2. And they put it as this is almost certain that people will compare it to this game. A friendly reminder of the rule, so your review doesn't get removed if you didn't know of this rule.
Oh maaaan... and i was so looking forward to go ahead with the twins... what a damn shame -.-
They were both rly hot and i liked how the story developed, how they grew closer and closer...
man.... this is real sad news

This often heralds the definitive end of a game in production, which is sad, but it's not unique, especially for projects considered secondary by someone with a job and other day-to-day concerns.When I read the posting from him on patreon, it reads to me more like 90% abandoned than 10% onhold.
From that point of view, I'm deleting the game from my SDD. It would be nice if it came back, then I'll just start it again.
It takes time, personal and financial investment, and that kind of thing takes its toll, even on passion projects that are close to someone's heart. Reality always catches up. I congratulate him on his honesty regarding the fate of his game.
In short, he explicitly told us, don't get your hopes up, it's over.
At least he had the decency to suspend payments on Patreon and not play dead fish, pretending that his game is still in development when it's not.
It's almost become a rarity to see a guy behaving normally and with integrity in the adult games business on Patreon, which is really sad when you think about it, as the bond of trust between a creator and his fanbase seems to be breaking down for reasons of greed and cowardice, really putting into question the relevance, from my point of view, of platforms like Patreon (with their prohibitive and very restrictive rules for the adult games community, not to mention the paywall system on the entire page, including for interactions and the absurdly high donation ladders, among other things).

Patreon INC. is a company that wants to make money and if too many people cry about certain content, then rules are set up to appease them. They could drop out and stop paying ....

Read your entry on ‘Adult content’.

Yes, I've read the passages about Patreon's evolving attitude towards creators of adult content, which I'd say reinforces my impression of a general deterioration (not restricted to Patreon anyway) in the working environment for this activity and, even more seriously, in the accessibility of the platform's services for individuals working in this type of business (again, this is probably not restricted to Patreon either). I don't quite agree with your assertion, of course it's important for Patreon to work on its brand image and therefore satisfy the grievances of its partners (promoters, shareholders, associates, platform customers etc.), except that this sector of activity not only brings in a lot of money for this Platform but on the net in general enormously, we're talking about very large proportions (although it seems that Patreon is rather evasive about the amounts it brings in from this sector of activity oddly enough
).They can therefore pretend to be tightening the screws on the actors in this sector, without realistically cutting themselves off from this financial source. As you yourself say, the most important thing is to make money, nothing else.
As the saying goes, money has no smell when it comes to designating where it comes from, whether it's acquired “honestly”, “morally” or not.
I'd like to point out that your wikipedia link led me to a transcription in German. I may live on the border with that country (in France), but I don't speak the language very well ! x) I switched to English after that, so no worries though.
(Thank you copilot for not answering the very mention of the word adult when i ask serious questions about figures haha, he pretends to look and answer, then changes his mind sorry I can't answer because 'I was conceived in the US'. We're bordering on the ridiculous as soon as we touch on this subject, it's nuts!
)I wanted to find sourced, quantified information on the income generated by the adult sector, both on Patreon and on the Internet in general; and apart from a few figures from the mainstream x-industry based on journalistic sources, it's quite difficult to measure the share coming from all the activities linked to this “ environment ” in the very broad sense of the term (the platforms don't easily reveal the income they make from it, and the search engines as well as various net platforms based on US law simply don't want to broach this type of subject, and above all because it's a stupid taboo, let's face it....). Anyway, this is a digression to describe my irritation with a trivial, inoffensive subject that only interested me for its financial or ecomic aspects here, but let's move on. I don't want to get into a political debate as this is not the appropriate place, but this trend towards widespread censorship and the culture behind it, coming from the US, seriously frustrates me ....

In recent years, the adult gaming market has undergone significant transformation. Before 2018, it was a small, often overlooked niche. However, this began to change when Western developers invested more in complex narratives, attracting a larger audience.Yes, I've read the passages about Patreon's evolving attitude towards creators of adult content, which I'd say reinforces my impression of a general deterioration (not restricted to Patreon anyway) in the working environment for this activity and, even more seriously, in the accessibility of the platform's services for individuals working in this type of business (again, this is probably not restricted to Patreon either).

During the pandemic, many devs, working remotely, created adult games and visual novels as side projects, using platforms like Patreon to fund their work. As the number of projects grew, Patreon gradually adjusted its rules, partly due to pressure from payment processors like Visa and Mastercard, which demanded stricter age and consent regulations(

).The abandonment by this developer is mainly due to the need to return to in-person work, which makes it difficult to manage parallel projects. This is the main reason why most developers abandon visual novels. Those who continue usually do so because their projects were successful, allowing them to leave their jobs.

Fuck man, that's one of the biggest bummers in a long time.
But I get it, he has obviously put a lot of effort into it, unfortunately in this market sometimes you luck out or you don't, even doing everything right. When you pour so much time into something without seeing results you are bound to get burned out, sometimes even if it's working people get burned out.

oh shit, so this is "on hold" now? damn, need to make some changes to my list... u_u
bummer, it looks like the dev is done with it... it started really poorly as a lame DS clone, but quickly evolved into its own, so yeah, shame but oh well.
