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.
Have you seen what happened with Black hand games with his Detective Necro game? Some psycho found out who he really was and started trying to ruin his life because he wouldn't add ntr into his game. It was turning into a really great game and now the creator gave up the game because of one crazy person trying to ruin the lives of BHG and his family in Japan because he couldn't get his way.

to a degree that's the state of the world for... a long long time. People suck. They suck with irritating bells on.

Doesn't mean much, i suppose, but still... At this point I'm kind of hoping no news is 'good' news. In that Nef is just burnt out and not inclined to deal with the game or this entire aspect of his life right now, and will get back to it at his leisure.

Well fuck me sideways. A lot of my favorite games have been canceled as of late. So far my butt-hurt was tolerable, but this one... this one is one massive loss.
His updates on Kemono have been hinting at mental issues plaguing him, which so far only seams to mean delays, or procrastination.
I really don't want to think that the worst has come to happen.
I hope and pray he's been getting so much pussy he forgot about us.

Yea that is not a crazy assumption, especially considering the fact that the last time he disappeared was because he was in the hospital. So even if he is not dead, something very serious must have happened.
On Discord, back when we last heard from him during the holidays, he had exclaimed that he went through some serious family drama, and he was cutting ties with the whole lot of them for taking advantage of him. If he is honest about all his crises, poor-dude has been through quite the loads of shit. I hope at worst he is just taking some time away and trying to figure shit out in his real life. The only tiny signs of hope I have, is once in a while I see his Discord status go from idle to online.

Hopefully, he is alright. Truly.

If he did hit a creative-wall though, he could always just throw out endless "Tech Updates" that do nothing like SummerTime Saga has mastered. Seems to be working crazy well for them with minimal effort from their end. Keeps the lights on and pole floors full.

This is one of my firsts and favorites and I'll keep coming back in hope. I'm not on the Patreon or Discord, has he ever talked about maybe collaborating with someone to spread the load? I'm a 3D artist, and though I've never done this genre before, I'd volunteer to help setup scenes and renders to keep this moving and he could just focus on writing. I dunno, that's probably not realistic, I just hope to see this one finished someday. :)

Nef was pretty keen on keeping things close to the chest, as it were. He did all the writing and Daz artwork himself, and, as far as I know, never accepted help.
And I think we all hope to see this finished one day, especially because it felt like it was maybe 5 or 6 "chapters" from being done. It's a shame when any game gets cancelled or abandoned... but it is a real goddamn shame when an amazing game, like Midlife Crisis, gets abandoned.

Yeah, and I don't blame him for that. I would have (and have had) a hard time asking for or accepting help, especially with a project like this, that's gotta be like... birthing a huge, complex, multi-headed, perverted baby.

:oops: Yikes. I hate everything about that last sentence, even if it conveys the idea properly.

The game was abandoned, I guess it was because of censorship? But if I have a doubt, is the dark version the official Continuation?

What happened is that the dev ghosted us. We don't know why, but my guess is that he just currently doesn't have the capacity to interact with his community for mental health reasons. He might came back eventually, he might not, we don't know.

The dark version was an attempt by Nef to overcome writer's block. It is not canon for the main game at all.

Writers block? i don't think so i think life is in the way and maybe even overwhelming for the Dev.
The next ep basically rights its self the only thing needs to know is how to end the game or create a season 2 and give us a small cliffhanger.

things to cover.
the possible babies he has made and who will be baby momma's
the next two conquest
(one can be completed when he meets Her mom all tied up and does them both) A little dark side spin off could happen here
(the other is a two ep long seduction which leads to her virginity going to him and then the brother finding out and how-to navigate that)
the to Sisters having sex with Mc and mom gets aroused watching it and Joins or goes off A good place to put a choice
the Escort becomes a part of the family
along with the secretary or not all choice based
each LI has their own story to go with the personality written and background but each can be given a lone term or short term stay with Mc based on choice given at given events of their adventure.

there is 3 o r 4 eps right there! and about 1000 renders easy and about 10 animations
