i think it might have something to do with missed update cycles but it did seem pretty quick to get it when other games we dont talk about have good like 2+years with nothing and have not been slapped with abandoned tags.

Actually it's 18 months without an update. However, the other rule is 3 months of radio silence (about the game, a dev postng images from his trip to Cancun wouldn't count as breaking silence)
i think it might be partially because there hasnt been an update on either the patreon or subscribestar since december? idk the rules on how long it takes for it to be considerered abandoned but that probably isnt a good sign.
Dev starting to work on an alternate story is always a worrying sign, like they're checked out of the game and looking for something else.
That being said, I'm not ready to give up on this, it's one of the best porn games I've played. Hoping for a surprise update.

The last update or two before radio silence definitely showed a change in the writing. The usual sharp wit wasn't there, the story almost seemed a bit forced.
I love the game, but you could tell Nef was struggling a bit. Hopefully some time away from things will recharge his batteries, along with his home situation settling down.
I wouldn't mind even if Nef lets this one sit on the vine for a bit and starts a new project. I miss his great writing and storytelling.
Based on my limited experience it seems like they always go for longer than they need to. Feels like if the writer(s) managed to focus on tying up their stories sooner we'd have more finished games, rather than half-finished stories because the writer(s) ran out of juice in the middle. Shorter, sure, but finished stories.

Why do the best games get abandoned?
My guess is that the creators of those games have some type of problem in real life, be it physical and/or mental. With those problems comes more time that can be invested into the game. If it is physical problems, they can put time into the game world while they can't be active in the real world. If it is mental problems, they try to escape those real world problems with the game world. If this game is really abandoned, I hope it is because they solved their problems.With that being said, I hope the problems I mentioned aren't real, and they are just putting together a HYUGE update.
Not to mention, but most of these "writers" have no clue how humans talk to each other, and even less of a clue on sexual interactions. Anyone who wants to write a story, have to think up of a beginning, a middle, and an end. I just don't see how a sane person thinks to themselves, I have a great start to a story but not a clue for after, I'll just wing it...it'll be fine.

Most get burned out - this dev has been at this game for about six years now.

Life.... it happened with "A Mother's Love" and a while later, he started working on the game once his personal life issues were resolved and we've seen a couple great updates since.
I only hope the dev of this game works through whatever problems he has as I am more concerned with people, than some game.
Here's hoping its just hiatus. Few favorite games have legitimately been abandoned. Big Brother for example. Summertime Saga kinda feels like abandoned. only gone up on website like 10 percent in progress in like a year. I almost think I could take the base game and reprogram it to the 'new tech' myself at this point. However, like Sad Crab's Innocent Witches progress is being made...slowly. Light of my life, took like 14 months for an update. This is one of the few games I'd be willing to pay for on steam release if it got one.
To me personally it looks like that the dev (and so many others, who abandoned their game) had no ending worked out for his project. They hit a wall in their story and to work around that wall, new characters with sidestories are implemented. When I notice new characters in games with nothing to add to the core of the story I become pessimistic regarding the future of these projects.
Just to make sure: No facts, just my personal opinion.

Has the dev said anything or discord or anywhere else? The last time he went radiosilent for so long he was in the hospital. It makes me think that something serious has happened to him.

Well.. it's been 5 months already.. So it is a fair and worrisome assumption.
At this point, fuck the game, just hopes he is fine.

Yeah I am not too worried about the game I just want to know if the guy is fine.

There was essentially never a story in the game..
It is a straight forward "daddy fucks everyone" game. People (including I which I don't identified as people) love it because of the writing. Conversations and such.
The most likely candidate is something happened to him. What is the question, though.
