The dev commented a few pages ago. The current plan is to finish the story with fewer renders per scene to speed things up, then open it up for other people to finish if they want. The mods just don't remove abandoned tags until an update actually comes out due to stuff like The Red Room or Perverted Hotel, where the dev keeps promising an update and never delivering.

The thing is he knows he can't finish the game but the story is completely written and he is willing to give the character cars to someone else to finish the game. So my opinion is he should do this now and not drag it out another year or whenever he finishes the next chapter.

Everyone ready for a difficult post?

At my current rate I don’t see myself reasonably finishing this tome within the next decade. Or two.
I have many, many excuses, but it comes down to time, technical effort and time.

My life has moved on since I first started this. Some bad and lots of recent good.
'Spare' time is precious, but I still believed I could commit to a few hours per week and chip away at the chapters, however I’ve run into serious technical issues with HS. If the PC tower wasn’t under the desk it would’ve been bounced off of a few walls by now (It has been kicked. Several times).

It’s fair to say that I’m also fatigued with this hanging over me and it’s sometimes difficult to sit down and work on it. But that’s just defeatist talk.

Soooo... What to do?

The story is written (but I do finesse it and manage the choices as I work on each chapter). Creating the images is the bottleneck.
Here’s the plan…

Next few months:
I’m going to release the next chapter (6), complete with all the expected images and ‘animation’.

A while after that:
I’ll release the entire game, but from chapter 7 onwards it’ll be using simple images for key scenes. The intention would be to stop producing multiple images and animation.

I’ll also provide HS character cards for anyone who wants to pick this up and properly finish it.

I haven’t figured out the details and obviously it’s not the best news or even a great compromise to this situation I’ve created, but I want to thank you for your support throughout this. You're all great.

Whatever happens, you'll always be a fucking hero.

Hi Inkalicious, I really appreciate that you took your time to keeping us updated, and you have my full support. I'm truly grateful that you have decided to finish this amazing tale. For me, it doesn't matter how many images will it take, if any, and I don't even care about animations - I'm sure your unique style and fantastic creativity will be there to take us to a most satisfying conclusion. Take care and thank you for sharing this story with the world.

i personally dont even like animations id rather have good quality still images and use my imagination for the rest. animations in these games never look good and always break the immersion for me anyway. plus they make games take much longer to complete for the dev.

As a party who doesn't happen to be one of the diehard fans.

My neutral response is, I don't think there were enough sex scenes.
I appreciate the dev's openness in admitting what's going on. But other than the story other's seem to love, porn content ain't that much here. So up to you and what you want.

Now let's see if some diehard fan takes this personally for not saying how magnificent and heroic this entire game be.

You come across as really insecure when you immediately go on the defensive.

He was just putting himself ahead to face the inevitable, nothing to consider insecure about it.

By the way regarding the lack of sex scenes, I don't agree. I'm among those who think there is no such thing as "enough sex scenes" but I think there is a lot already present in the game, both on the vanilla and "unconventional" sides

hm. . .let's see.
First thing I did was differentiate myself from the most vocal parties here.
Then I mentioned appreciation followed by my perspective.
Then I called out this fanbase for how they and other fanbases have been to those who do not agree.

I have learned today that any one of these or all off these shows that one is a pussy.
may as well give you some more content to show that you are an expert shrink and not at all someone who tries to use deep burns/third degree burns to those whose opinion you didn't like.

I'm a mico-penis wielding nerd whose insecurities are so vast you could activate them by breathing in my direction.

you're nice mate. And I always appreciate that.

I'm sorry and I hate to do this when someone's been nice but I gotta clarify.
I think it is in part putting oneself ahead while also calling out the most vocal fanbase by being an asshole before they stand for their convictions using words that make them seem like assholes. . . .

mighta not done the best job at my attempt but yeah..

About my recommendation and yours; the porn content is to each their own. Mine mighta been unreasonable is something I'm always willing to admit with fair reasons pointed out like what you've got here.

Shame that the game is abandoned, I really liked it because it so unique. Probably the only decent zombie apocalypse adult VN I've seen in existence. Here's to hoping this genre gets more love in the future :)

Oh, and to anyone wondering if it's still worth playing even if it's abandoned: Yes! Go for it. Still worth the experience even if it cuts a bit short.
