At this point I'm surprised they're not saying "Feb 31st".

Dude knows when the update is coming, knows how big the update is, but doesn't know if it's the bugfix 3.9 update or if it's Chapter 4.

imagine if it drops and it is just rerendering of Ch.2 where they lost the OG 3d artist

Another one gone huh. Game has so much potential lost into the abandoned realm.

Seems a bit early for the tag, but it doesn't surprise me. The dev was active on their Patreon at Christmas, but it's been crickets since. Don't have their Discord, so I don't know if they've been active there, or maybe even announced the abandonment. They only have 92 paying Patrons, which is a shame. Can't feed a dev team, even one of otters, on ~$250 a month, and maybe Steam sales didn't hit their goals. Hope this is just F95Zone "Abandoned," and not actually abandoned.

Well, considering the dev hasn't released anything in a year and a half, missed multiple deadlines last year, and hasn't said shit yet this year, I'm not sure where you're getting that the tag came early.Seems a bit early for the tag, but it doesn't surprise me.

it's literally not abandoned though, this page may be on v3.4 but the patreon is alive with posts about v3.9..

I'm a patron, sport. This the post you're talking about?
The one thing it didn't include was 3.9. Also, last Patreon post is from December.

Okay... so I know this game has the abandoned tag on in and I know there have not been any posts in Patreon since December... I also checked Discord and there are a couple odd posts saying there may be a new release 2/25, but I have a feeling this is well and truly abandoned.
Regardless, I made a new multimod for it as LaikDink is no longer making mods. So yes, I most likely wasted my time, but it was mine to waste and I enjoyed making it so here it is. In the unlikely event this game has a new release, I have a nice, shiny new MultiMOD ready to go.

If nothing happens on the 25th then I will definitely believe that the game is dead.

And even if it never returns, you've made a nice new mod for new players. I'm sure they'll appreciate your efforts.

The guy on Discord talking about Feb 25 was full of shit. Here's the latest Patreon post from yesterday:
Ello Otters!
Happy New Year! I know there is a lot to get to and a lot that you are waiting for. I have been working my tail off to get back to even after last year and am almost there. I need a few more weeks before I am finally caught up.
With that being said, I come to you with an Otter promise.
Last year I was not able to deliver on anything, and for that, you are all within your right to hold me to that. I have no right to comment on anything that was said on here or anywhere else, as you are my players and deserve better. I am going to put up a bigger post later about everything and how I got back to being Otter, but for now, all I can do is swim here and tell you that you have my Otter-paw promise this year is going to be different.
First of all, here are the new dates for everything that is coming out. These are promised dates. That means, if they deviate by more than a day or two, you are more than welcome to stop supporting the game in any way you see fit. That's right, I am officially staking my career as a game developer on these promises.
Chapter 3 (3.9) is almost complete, but I was still waiting for the programmer who helps me with advanced level stuff to fix issues. It's not his fault, as he had other games that were way more active to work on. The one issue we are still working on is fixing the ZippyApp replays. It's still causing a lot of problems when using it. So, I thought of something new!
Instead, I am going to program a stats screen you can click on at any time at the top right where your Hearts are located. I think this is going to be a better option anyway, because it's going to allow you to see how far you are with which girl, which route you are on, and how many Matrix Hearts you've acquired! This should take us a week or two, but I am going to add a buffer so I can keep my Otter promise.
March 27th- The release of 3.9 with all the fancy fancy across all platforms. This includes the Android and PC version.
April 12-14th- This is 3.9.9 for Steam, which includes the new Point and Click Spheres.
May- The official release of Maelstrom Chaser!
June- Matrix Hearts Chapter 4
September- Maelstrom Chaser Chapter 2
December- Matrix Hearts Chapter 5
I am also going to be starting the full dedication to releasing promised Patreon content next month. Now that I can focus again, I can make lewdz, ask about the game, and start the playtest for Maelstrom Chaser.
Thank you again, Otters. I've said that a lot, but I mean it with all my Otter heart.

Also, keep in mind, this is not the first release date the dev has set for 3.9 or Chapter 4.

This would have more weight if he said he'd close his patreon if his dates are off.
Huh. Imagine that... I suggested this over a year ago.
Not sure why this would take two weeks to implement. All the variables are already there. It's just layout and a few extra renders.
These are either going to be very short chapters, or this dev will burn himself out (again?) by taking on too much work.

It's not like he is going to refund people for the past year+ of support.
He forgot to add the year to those dates

To me, it already feels like he's burnt out again given he seems to be developing another game (it's the typical thing I see some devs do when they feel the burn out; with it some devs manage to balance the juggling, whereas others well....... it all comes crashing down and end up abandoning everything) alongside this one.
Tbh, I didn't even know he was developing this "Maelstrom Chaser" game lol.
Honestly? I'd rather have beefier/chunkier chapters for this game rather than dev's focus being divided between 2 games.
Oh well. It is what it is.......shrugs.

I've heard some rumors about it, but nothing concrete.
I wonder if the history of Matrix Hearts itself isn't another factor. If memory serves, Season 1 (maybe S2 as well?) was rendered by a different artist who left the team. Many players also agree that the game dropped in quality with Season 3. That has to be disheartening, making a brand-new project an appealing choice.
Add to that his otterly inability to deal with constructive criticism...
