Somewhat off-topic, if I wanted to make easy money, I'd "crib" the idea and characters of abandoned games and just finish them. It's not that difficult to make enough changes to avoid copyright infringement.
I don't even think games made with Honey Select can be copyrighted, there's a reason none of the devs put their games on Steam, cuz they themselves don't own the assets.
So technically speaking anyone should be able to just copy paste any HS game and recreate it on their own.
Dreamlink is a great example lol
Would love to see someone pick up the mantle for
Deviant Anomalies, sadly don't think anyone except the people already working on the top games would be able to handle its concept/potential well, its scope is quite big.
A game like Hot Springs Academy though, anyone who's good at working with decent models and animations could handle it lol.
