F95 has a good rule because 2 years without an update is indeed abandoned. A child left for too long is abandoned. At certain ages they shouldn't even be left at all. And it doesn't matter if the parent says they planned to return some day or not. That kid is abandoned.
Yesterday I worked 6 hours on the game. Before yesterday 4h...
It's not like I left it!
Writing, translating, drawing, retouching, cropping, coding, testing, bugfixing - it all takes time!
I've regularly explained my slowness in updating.
I have an irregular job that can be time-consuming, I have a child and I'm divorced from his father, my new boyfriend doesn't know about LGW yet... Now my child knows enough English words that I can't do anything at all about the game when he's playing next to me. Not to mention correcting the pictures...
In short, my time for Lolita is limited, and yet I manage to find a few hours to devote to it regularly
I don't monetize, I make Lolita for pleasure. I don't see the point in you complaining to me that I'm not giving you this gift fast enough. Complaining doesn't help me. Complaining just makes me think you're ungrateful. Complaining just forces me to waste time replying on this forum rather than devoting it to the game.
Of course, the latest update is dated. But the next one involve a lot of work.
I've always refused to release an update that isn't worth playing.
The next update involves a lot of changes in areas I coded a long time ago. I need to make sure I don't create any bugs by modifying them. It takes a long time.
I don't understand why coming to this thread and seeing that I'm still active doesn't make you happy (some of you do, thank you to them !).
Yes, the game is marked “abandoned” but one day I'll publish it. And when I do, I hope you'll be happy.
