I hope he's doing okay. His health and well being is more important than some game.

Oh God yes!
The game means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things, only his health!
hopefully dev is ok and the game isnt abandoned, as his still working on it, but his health is more important, hopefully an update will arrive in 2025

A lot of people don't pay attention and just let things slide. When something is automatic, it's easy to overlook, especially if it's at a low level.
Also, real life happens to subscribers too, and they might not be able to stop automatic payments.
Also (I'm not a paying customer, so I don't know in his case), but it's possible that he has suspended payments. If so, why bother unsubscribing?

Discord is for subscribers only.I can‘t find him on Discord
And since Nefastus hasn't been heard from in over a year, not even a log into their discord -- don't know why anyone would want to subscribe or join the discord, anyway.

It sucks to say that this is one of the longest abandoned games I've ever played. Very unfortunate!

We don't know what happened to him. We just speculated since he's had some health problems before.

I comply with your point of view, but due to the lack of concrete evidence, I prefer myself not too speculate on such hypotheses. It is more likely, as is often the case with many developers facing difficulties, that he simply stopped to work on it for various reasons. He would not be the first or the last to do so. Moreover, I don't like those people who rush to announce someone's death without any proof, and who sometimes even seem to take pleasure in it.

NO
People from his discord on occasion spoke to him offline, at least one. When they have no news and no word it can only mean really bad life circumstance. 15 people can have something in common but that means nothing for a 16th person.

What you say may be true, however, it could also be a whole lot of other things. He may have decided to stop for a variety of reasons : fatigue, a sense of failure regarding his AVN, the desire to focus on new, demanding personal projects, a new job, emotional changes (a new partner, a baby, etc.), family or social pressures related to this activity (perhaps looked down upon in certain circles or cultures), or health issues (not necessarily life threatening), either physical or mental, although these are not the only possible causes.
He could also have been a victim of cyberbullying by a malicious individual, for instance.
He wouldn’t be the first to quit without warning or to disappear for a long time before possibly returning. In short, there could be many reasons, some of which we may never know. It is also normal to want to protect one’s privacy and remain somewhat anonymous online.
Many developers fail or abandon their activity, often pursued alongside other daily responsibilities. It’s a field where many face difficulties and are unable to make a decent living from it. The reasons for these abandonments or failures are numerous.
I am simply mentioning possibilities or cases that have already been observed on F95 among many developers. This is to say that the reasons for this development halt could be numerous and not necessarily what we might imagine.
That’s why, as for me, I prefer to suspend my judgment and simply acknowledge the halt or abandonment of this AVN, whether voluntary or not on the part of the developer. In any case, I don’t know any more. Besides, I prefer not to speculate about someone's health; both out of decency and because I do not want to speak out of ignorance on such a delicate matter.

And why exactly did you quote me with this? I literally said it is a POSSIBILTY that he passed away due to previous health problems but that none of us knows.

Well, I agreed with you broadly in saying that we shouldn't immediately jump to the thesis of death, and even less rejoice or make unpleasant comments on such a subject. Furthermore, health problems, yes, it's possible, but we don't know anything for sure, and it can be very broad, ranging from serious to much less serious, not necessarily involving a life-threatening prognosis.
Of course, everything is possible, but without evidence, it's just speculation. It's also possible that I was referring to another post of yours on this page as well, as several of your posts revolve around this topic. Then, I also said that I preferred myself not to make any assumptions about any specific thesis, especially not on something serious without knowing the facts. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, I'm using a translation tool.
I was trying to be more nuanced in my statement, so I somewhat agreed with you (at least in terms of the approach), although I prefer not to comment on the exact causes of the developer's disappearance, as I have no information about it. I dismissed that hypothesis because I don't want to speculate on such matters without knowing the facts. It's a delicate subject, and if it were true, it wouldn't concern us; it's something private, intimate.
In another scenario, if the developer had chosen to throw in the towel regarding his game, to leave without warning, and move on to something else in his life, that would also be entirely his right. Everyone is free to do as they wish. Nevertheless, I repeat, we do not know what the situation is.
I can therefore only observe by default the abandonment of this AVN and the apparent absence of the developer for some time, whatever the reasons may be.

Looks like the Dev is going through a ''Midlife Crisis!''

I hope to whatever god might be out there that it isn't death. He has had his health problems, both physical and mental, for sure, but he has also had a lot of family drama. My hope, he is just out there, somewhere, getting mentally better. If he does return (which almost a year later I lost all hope), I do hope it is with the caveat that all is well... and if he doesn't return, well, I guess we just enjoy Midlife Crisis for what it is, with all its content, and remember how damn good some of these VNs can be.
