I really liked this one, but I think it was just too ambitious for a first game. It would have been better to start with something simpler and saved this as a second game after the dev has figured out the workflow and built up a following. I think that is a mistake that a lot of new devs make.

Nonsense... It was not "too ambitious", it didn't have multiple complicated paths or any pioneering game mechanics - game had great story/writing and good/very good renders. Just because it wasn't as dumb as 99,9% games in here does not mean it was "too ambitious".

Dev has his life problems he needs to deal with sooner or later but changing project complexity or it's story wouldn't change a thing in this case. Being perfectionist (among other things) is not something easy to handle or to live with, in most scenarios it is matter of working with 150% efficiency causing yourself to burn out or not working at all causing your self-esteem to dive. That's depressing and sad and does not affect just one thing (developing game in this case) but every aspect of your life.

Call me naive but I still believe in this project... Knowing what problems dev is dealing with I see this game as symbol of his healing in a way. He struggles a lot, that's why game is abandoned for so long with multiple resurrections attempts. Nevertheless life sometimes is really hard and my empathy really hopes he will manage to deal with it, one day you will see update of this game and you will know that not only "there is an update" but also that dev went through a lot of shit in his life yet found strength to deal with it. At some point in your life when you are low, support can change everything, how could I not believe this game will get update one day? :coffee:

Is this actually dead, or is it the dev's M.O. to disappear for ages at a time, before dropping an update out of nowhere, and disappearing again?

afaik dev had some irl problems and quit the game indefinitely. At first he said he'll try to come back but it's been some time. Though one can hope.

Here,
Boo! Little jumpscare. I got you, didn't I? Yeah, this game is not abandoned. But as some of you might know the forum has pretty clear rules that if the Patreon is not updated in... 90 days (I think?) a game will automatically receive an "abandoned" tag. It's happened before, back when I was working on Chapter 4, and well... it wasn't abandoned then, it's not now. Thank you guys so much for being patient, but between me almost dying from sinusitis (yeah, I know), fighting my own psychological limitations, and having my spirit crushed every step of the way, I have to say, things have been a little hectic. But hey, none of this would be any fun if it was easy, am I right?

As some of you know, I'm still working on the trailer for the Steam version of the game, which is something I am taking very, very seriously. Problem is, I'm burning away money I don't have to render stuff that people might not care about because my computer is nowhere near powerful enough to accommodate my obsession. I'm still stuck in the neverending saga of committing to things I'm neither competent nor equipped enough to do. Because of that, right now, I'm oscillating between a state of pure panic and exhaustion and I have to admit it's a little challenging to keep focus, sometimes. However, this hasn't stopped me from making pretty good progress. I hope to show you guys what I've been cooking pretty soon. I love you all, stay with me.

yeah it's pretty much up in the air, either we get something or we won't, I like the game but not really confident anything else will come of it other than what we already got. It's a shame really, didn't have the best visuals, but I liked the story and characters.

I honestly don't have much hope but there is always a possibility. iirc, last stable update was over 2 years ago. This wip update, which did not add much, was almost a year ago. So, one can assume this game is abandoned forever but afaik dev never said such a thing.
