That's how it actually works. No updates in 6+ months without any news about development, gets the game marked as abandoned. When update drops (and only when it drops, just news isn't enough at this point, as the dev may not follow on them), tag gets removed, at least for a time being.
Heck yeah, sounds to me like that's the way it should work. I've seen a lot of scammer game programmers "announce future updates" for a project that they never actually planned on returning to, all just so they could siphon a tiny bit more lifeblood from their loyal followers without putting in any additional work.
Any space that Inno or the modstaff control is a safespace where only positive vibes and a specific narrative is allowed. When the schedule slipped really badly for the first time Inno began to show patreonitis symptoms and the mods enforced that you couldn't question how she can be too sick to work but well enough to spend all day screen sharing while playing a game or watching cartoons. Eventually they just drove most real discussion off the discord and out of the blog comments into spaces they couldn't control.
Echo chamber = Inno's discord server. It's basically a cult hideout, they keep regurgitating the same "We love you Inno your health is more important than the game please rest first don't need to strain yourself" and shoot down any attempt of questioning her actual schedule or work progress from outsiders. People here on this site are immune to her apologetic attempts, that's what it is.
I'm concerned about what can be considered a valid "update" to remove the Abandoned tag. Can Inno literally just remove 1 line of spacing, push it to the public and have the game up and running again on F95? What's the standard here?
Just be ready because the next update will be underwhelming, but enough to remove the tag
That's expecting way too much content and being in a timely manner? Nah.
The latest blogpost clearly says that the main (=biggest) new feature is going to be adding a shop with doll slaves and the ability to tell the doll to be immobile during sex.
If I remember correctly, Inno was very adamant of getting a second developer and probably less so to pass the torch to someone else because they wanted to be fully responsible for the game.
Not to mention said NPCs are pretty much just re-skinned humans fuck dolls, and if you do debug and spawn one of them in it pretty much just works as intended already.
Partly that Inno is a procrastinator and being expected to commit daily or weekly to a shared repository would reveal how often nothing is done for deadlines and then the cramtime before the real true absolute final deadline.
I think that the people making games that specific, are looking to make that game, specifically; whereas someone trying to make a porn game can just pull from a big bag of archetypes.
again, I think that why they're gay, mostly. 93% of men and 87% of women are straight, according to wikipedia. If your making a porn game to make money, making it gay would be absolutely gimping your own project.
I am going to go out on a very thin limb and say what that really is, is a series of 'dead fish' descriptions. Which is... very niche. I am more perturbed by yet another god-damn DOG MORPH.
One main point of disagreement: Ever heard of tv tropes? It has a massive catalogue of archetypes for media of all sorts, including video games. After browsing for a bit, you'll notice that every entity ever is a collection of archetypes mashed together. Meraxis, arguably one of the more fleshed out characters in LT (not saying much), is a
I am disappointed in you. You missed
I was going to make a list, but then stopped because I knew there'd be a bunch of "what about this trope?" comments like this one.
