People like to see their views of the world validated hard. People like to feel part of a righteous crusade. People like to bask in schadenfreude and confirmation bias. It's comforting, I guess. It's a negative sum game, but oh well, who cares...

Like the flat Earthers, I expect some get a charge believing that they know more than the majority of the people who actually play the game. Like Filius Canis, they are only trying to help those who don't know any better.
Some games have longer development cycles than others. That's the reality of game development.
What I would like F95 to do is not have a one-size-fits-all (none) rule, but to not give the abandon tag without checking to see what the development cycle has been like for the last four updates. If twice the mean interval has passed, then maybe an abandoned tag would be warranted.

I have just been replaying the game and I think my dream of the mc being with Brooke and the girls in a relationship is out the window lol.
Because in one scene Macy asks the mc if he wants a relationship with Brooke and he says no
And also I don't think Denise was too happy when I told her what I did with Brooke.

Yea i didnt know this and commented on gates motel, little time later so many angry incels decided to tell me why its labeled that with some "choice words"
it was gates motel or Apartment69
Yeah except look up definition of abandoned. Literally. Go google definition. Dev is clearly giving constant updates and responding.
I am shocked that a piracy site for porn games has a bunch of deeply broken people with double digit IQs getting irrationally angry about development times.

Well because the world of patreon funded games is an unwatched and unregulated mess. You have plenty of creators milking their patron, effectively being small time conmen.
The abandoned tag is to make people be wary of funding such people and also as a small "whip" to actually force creators to do something.
Personally I think its great. I know people in this thread ADORE the dev, but from a certain point, even here some doubt can be found. How much did you actually see from the new update? I followed a game where a dev kept posting "progress bars", turned out it was all bs.
Personally I do not think that naughy road is a scammer, but the abandoned tag system is only a plus for the health of porn game "market". Also I am not sure about others, but at least having some form of deadline helps with time management. Definitely does for me, the bigger the time frame you have, the higher the chance you waste time.
Yep, this is something I noticed too in a past playthrough. I wasn't too thrilled either, since Brooke is one of my favorite characters in any VNs period.
Well, since this game is focused on "familial shenanigans", this is probably very intentional. I still hope for Brooke to have an ending, if not idyllic, at least satisfactory. Let's wait and see!
Really, I understand the sentiment. I also understand why there is a need of an "abandoned" tag in F95. At the same time, I don't think there is a catch-all solution for marking a project as abandoned, especially in absolute terms (the "x months since" model) - the ideal way should be a per-project basis, but it leads to another quagmire ("who watches the watcher" and so on).
The only solution, to me, is: if someone is interested in a project, he should simply follow the "news", stay updated, and form his own informed conclusion. Trying to convince others of your own views about development times and work ethics is mostly a waste of time and leads only to bandwagoning, infinite bickering and witch hunts (please note: this is true for both supporters or loathers). This is especially true in a relatively new and burgeoning sector like Patreon, which by its nature shortens the distance between developers and patrons - with all the good and bad this entails.
Of course, blatant lies on both "sides" - by the author, or by anyone else about the author - should be highlighted and discussed. But since it is not the case of naughtyroad, who has always been crystal clear about his intentions and proceedings, this is a different issue altogether.

I used to support this authr religiously, but stopped at the end of the last year. I know that they post short essays but wasn't sure if they had posted one recently as they were interesting to read.
If who has access anyone can copy pasta their most recent one, this would be awesome

I had a feeling many asked it already and hence why I started my post with apologizing. Didn't do much for you tho it seems who felt the need to tell it's tiring. Even got someone to upvote that crap.

This isn't a government owned entity - there is no free speech in a privately owned website. You are allowed to post here and if you violate the rules, you can see your post moderated, removed, or yourself banned.
Also, funny how people use "free speech" when they want to say something but take offense when hearing someone else expressing themselves.
Anyway - all of this could have been avoided had you simply tried first, instead of just asking someone else to do the work for you. This whole conversation started because you couldn't take 1 minute.
What do you mean links chapter 1 and 2?
All the chapters (1-6) are in the game that is linked in OP.
