But I really don't understand these developers...they start a game and then leave it there for 8-10 months, then they do an update, then another 5-6 months....bah.. A game must have a consequentiality, that is, if 10 months pass between one update and another, how can anyone remember well the choices they made, how to move forward... I'm really shocked...

If the game's good enough, I just delete all the saves and start over after a few months or a major update. If it's not that great, I'll just be skipping over most of the text in my search for the interesting bits anyway so it doesn't really bother me that much.
Typical situation for this dev - they only have a small part of their life to devote to this project, so it always takes a really long time between updates. Right from the start, hasn't changed - we have to live with it. They give us notices about progress at least.
True, but a year or more between updates...reminds me of Dual Family....

Yeah, but remember, all that planning, coding, sorting out the dialogue and then setting up the graphics and rendering them doesn't happen overnight. If someone is working on their own, they can only do one thing at a time. Few people have a rig set up to do the rendering while they're working on something else and almost everybody has a life outside of creating graphical games/VN's.

Slap a Abandoned sign on this project or let someone with the testicular fortitude finish it up. Your time isn't more valuable than mine and you get paid to do a job you dangled out there for cash. No one forced that on you. No shame in saying i bit off to much or admitting you need to quit reason doesn't matter except to you. All for paying people for work when they actually do work!!!
I digress...

I agree that it's not an excuse...but at least an explanation. This particular game is known for it's very slow development speed. IIRC it's a one-person project they do in their spare time. I'd be very surprised it if would proceed any faster and we can only try to be patient. Turning the argument around people complaining speaks volumes for the game being appreciated?

I guess game isn't his main job, or maybe he has gpu issues. Although it could also be just plain laziness.

Hey folks, apologies for the late update, days just seem to run away from me - will be posting a detailed post in the coming days with the route map to release! Been sitting on this for awhile but I think I’ve got it plotted out now.
Have a great week all,

He will come back in a week to tell us the update is still at the same %. Can we just tag this game as abandoned already ? OR just give me the mod role and I will add it myself. For free.
And I get in trouble for my opinion a little while ago about this. Millennial enforcer had thier feelings hurt.

It's not the game that's ugly. Not by a long shot. The ugly thing is the update schedule.
