Looking at the sneek peaks, I can't escape the feeling some females are using the same base model and the guy being a defeminized version of that same base model.
Some previews/sneak peeks shared by Alex on Discord

AlexCastle Read you said it wasn't a sandbox but couldn't update the tags?
Well that's what mods are for? You can also request ownership of the thread, so you can do it yourself and update the OP with each new update.

when was the last time he stated that? The abandoned tag was today or yesterday
Last Patreon post was in October, so unless he said something on Discord... 3 months without news to the guys that pay you, doesn't look good.

As far as I'm aware, the billing is still paused.
Not the problem tho, he can take a vacation or stop because life happens, but posting something once a month to tell people he is still alive and will continue developing is not that hard, if someone can't even keep up with the page that is the line between him and his fans (the ones that pay at least), how can anyone expect him to keep up with completing a game.

What I mean is not that he is doing something wrong for not updating the game in X amount of time, but that he is not showing to the people that follows him that he can be trusted to be responsible and keep the work going, so why people should pay him once he comes back?

Yeah definitely not the best, but the problem would be the billing if he did leave it on. For all the dev cares he could say nothing at all and just release the updates. It's a porn site not a stable subscription to a service by a company. Would I like the dev to be more active? Of course, but simply pausing billing is leagues better than most devs that go silent leaving billing on or post progress reports with very little content to milk as much money as they can. From the images it looks like there's a sizeable amount of content the dev worked on (unless it's just those scenes isolated to lie?).

But billing being off really indicates to me that at least he's a decent human being and wants to develop a game. Let's hope whatever is preventing it goes away or we get an update from the dev.

Yes, I agree that he is a lot better than other devs just for pausing billing, but I also think if someone was deciding if they want to subscribe, this could push them to decide against it, a bit of communication and transparency, in a community where games are mostly not finished, is what pushes a dev to be more successfull, of course, they have to back it with good work, but I don't think a dev that will be off the radar for 3 months on the "official" site where people sub to him and the billing takes place, will be trusted by that many users.

I for one wouldn't even think about paying him in this circumstances, I'd expect any dev that I'm subbed to, to update and comunicate regularly, and not need to check on multiple sites to know if he is still goin or not...

I don't know if a lot of people does this, but for me, this site is where I discover and try the games before thinking about supporting a dev, and will never join a Discord, the only place where I will look is Patreon, I'm here to discover and try games before deciding if I like the dev, probably 99% of them will never be completed, so if I see even the slightest hint that he is not regular enough, even if it turned to be my favourite game in the site, I'm not risking it (until completed, then I's probably make a 1 time payment to give the dev my appreciation at least, not the best, but that's all I can give, I'm not rich, and I'll not gift money knowing most of them will abandon, or drop quality heavily at some point, seen it happen too many times).
