VN Ren'Py Abandoned Limitless [Day 6 P4 Completed] [Cr8tive M3dia]

Sure it is worth mentioning this, for all the reasons you list, but let's face reality.
In my opinion, the dev made a severe mistake when starting OI. Limitless was still relatively early in story developement, so already starting a second project back then made him seem overambitious.
Also, seriously, OI was doomed to get nuked from orbit due to issues that are covered by rule 7, even before the recent crackdowns by patreon. Anouncing to put even temporal developement focus on OI, instead of continuing this game's story and the comparatively tame taboos it has, did not make any sense to me back then.
And was putting a death mark on this game.

From memory.

If you back-read, the developer has explained his work-situation and that's the reason the development stopped.
When things cleared up, he would again have time to develop.
Octopussy Island was a side project that was released way into the development of Limitless.
After its release, the developer made many updates to Limitless (3?), as he wanted to get some headway and only
after this he would continue with Octopussy Island, and then Limitless yet again.

From notes.

mind, sometimes a dev needs to wash their hands off a project for a time because they have writers block and need to refresh their head with something else creatively. i see it often in novelation; another story is begun to get ideas out and liven up their mind.

Why was it abandoned? It looked great and the story had potential. Oh well, it was good while it lasted. The effort is appreciated. (This was translated with Google Translate; sorry for any mistakes xD)

It wasn't. Just the dev got real busy IRL.

Then it needs an ONHOLD tag, and the dev has to make that happen. Communication is how to do that.

While i think Cr8tive m3dia has been active in this forum, and some devs take active role in here, its not like devs care too much about abandoned tag in here. After all, this is at the end of the day piracy forum.

Dropping an update is how to make that happen, not communication. Once the tag is applied, it stays until then.
