So, this thing actually finished or was it just bulldozed to a stop?
Worry not, this is a fully fleshed out experience from beginning to end unlike some other games. The game has actually had proper endings for some time, this is just putting a bow on it with bug fixes and improvements.

Congratulations for completing this masterpiece. It's been on my watchlist for quite a few years now.
I was actually surprised. The amount of unfinished games here is just staggering that it's just sad that it actually feels normal for games never to get finished just draining the patreon swamp dry.

What's more surreal is even Night of Revenge is complete. 2 good games that's actually completed this week alone so like i think the world might explode this month. If so then it's been great boyz.

I believe that most game developers initially set out with the best of intentions. It's just that at some point, so many realize that actually finishing the game (or even just adding an ending) puts the brakes on their gravy train, especially if they don't plan to roll right into development for their next game immediately. So it then turns into a balancing act of doing the bare minimum of filler content/side content/easter eggs/etc. to keep a steady stream of funds flowing.

Belle is one of the few devs with integrity, so yeah, it's refreshing to see.

While i agree about Belle, this is hardly true to the other developers. From my experience the actual milkers are very few between most devs here.

Dude it feels ominous. The universe might end this week.

It's like Dream didn't actually cheat in his infamous speedrun and his jaw isn't real.

Well, OK MAYBE not all of them but certainly there's alot of them and sadly some of them made good stuff.

I don't get why they put it on indefinite hiatus though since some devs continue and moved on to new projects and still get alot of support so why wont they do the same and just complete one and move on to another and that seems more lucrative. Just lazy perhaps?

I mean more devs of lewd games with Patreon/etc support in general, not necessarily the ones who actively post to this site. Sorry for the confusion.

Reminds me of RedRoom. Bruh the renders on that one is just crisp and the dev is really talented but rarely updates the game. Its gonna take a while if we start dropping names of devs that just leaves their games hanging. I'm cool with a couple of weeks or heck even 2 - 3 months but 6 months not a peep to a year is like bruuuuuh. Sure like i get the after 0.5 the updates wont be shown till they release a full game but some just literally stopped and not a peep like you gon think the dev might be dead or in rehab recovering from OD'ng in all the drugs they did from all the money they made. Porn games bruhhh, well atleast we still have Dr Pinkcake and NLT just to name a few and so on.

So I lost my old saves some how and didn't play the game in a while... The original save I saved prim rose before she went to jail... Does going he jail and freeing her literally lock you out of the sex a d love route with this character?

Quite happy to see the game finished but sad to see the developer appearing burned out on it in the end. I'm looking forward to their next project.

Any future plans to post this up on steam? I'd throw you some $$ love on there for sure!
No Steam or any additional storefront, I am just repeating what Bell had posted earlier. Just search or read her recent posts (around the time of this final release) if you don't believe a nobody like me. Cheers.

How did you get the impression that I'm burned out? I'm taking a few days to just play video games and enjoy life right now, but that's not the same thing as having reached some kind of mental bottom. I'm fine and relieved to have finally finished the game after 5 years, and that's only natural.

You're welcome to start making your own game and find out. Otherwise it's just people, who aren't liklely supporting a dev anyway, complaining that their free shit isn't coming fast enough on here... :poop:

Congratulations on a successful and long-term artistic accomplishment. It's been a long time coming, but it's been a fruitful journey. High hopes for any future endeavors of yours.
