just curious but why is that a rule? to minimize off topic clutter I guess? Seems a little odd since threads allow posters to have banners, which are basically ads for other games, and they show up on every post. not criticizing just confused as to the logic of it.

I think staying on topic is the primary driver behind it, especially given where that specific mention about other games is. I suppose there's probably also something about cross-advertising in that consideration as well, since many devs own the threads to their games here and don't appreciate a bunch of discussion about someone else's game in the thread for their own creation. And while I agree with your point about signatures somewhat, I think the big difference is that you're not diverting discussions by having games in your signature. NGL and say a signature couldn't derail someone's thoughts anyway, but I suspect something like the above is the reasoning.
Thank god this game got the abandoned tag. should have been a long time though

Maybe in your opinion, but according to F95 site rules, applying the Abandoned label happened when it should have. The rules to apply that label to a game thread are:
- A game that's gone more than 3 months without a game release or an update public post by the developer
- A game with Onhold status that has not been updated in 3 months since being marked as on hold
- A game that, despite public update posts about it, has gone more than 18 months without a new release
DAMN!!!!!, I hope it comes back.

According to the devs Patron page, he's starting to get back in to the flow of finishing it... could be BS.. Never know!
likely BS, he is likely burned out, and just wants to keep the little support he has, but one can only hope

Not surprised about the abandoned tag! Well, it's been more than a year and a half without an update...
Eh, too many people get into AVNs thinking they'll breeze through it alone, only to find out it's not as easy to do it with an everyday job as it seems.
Shame if this is done. I liked it, had a realistic MILF for once, and not straight to the fucking.

Seeing as we were in this exact situation with the release of the current version I'm gonna give the dev the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, same I like the slow-burn realism of it.
Not only that, but she looks her age, yet is still attractive. So many AVNs try to make us believe that 40-50 year old cougars look like 25 year olds. lol
If he did this more regularly .. he would have had over 500 patrons.. (atleast!).. and if he really expanded this method to more stories and games, he would had more.. thats not an excuse..
You are welcome to write your own game and come back to this thread in two years telling us about the plethora of skills and time needed to make one that is even remotely good. Thanks.

This really isn't a valid argument in defense of Lemonkey.
While it's quite true that there's a lot that goes into making an adult game, and that it's hard work, and that some developers work faster, while others are slower, there are plenty of adult game developers who are working solo, and who are creating adult games more complex than this one, who are releasing updates on a regular or semi-regular basis. Some may release updates every month, while others release updates every three or four months, or even just twice a year. But one thing which nearly all of the good developers do is to keep their supporters informed about development.
It has been one year and seven months since the last update to this game was published. Even developers who release updates only once every six months would have released three new builds in that time. And Lemonkey doesn't really keep his supporters informed. All he does is put out a new excuse for why the update is delayed or a new version of "It's totally coming soon. Just trust me." That's not a good way for him to treat his supporters.
If you support Lemonkey, and want to go on supporting him, in spite of his failings, that's fine. It's your money. Spend it as you see fit. But you can still be honest about the state of development and the developer.
Some people have a real life. Some don't. In my opinion, this is a valid excuse.
If all he lived for was making porn games for internet weirdos, you would probably have a point here. However, I can only imagine that Lemonkey's life is more complex than that.

All of the adult games developers I was referencing have real lives. Some choose to talk about their lives, and some don't, but they all have them. It's not an excuse for what Lemonkey is doing. There is no excuse.
Does that mean that the game has to be thrown in the trash? No. Does it mean that Lemonkey should be taken out and shot? No. But people should stop trying to excuse him. He's doing a shitty job as a game developer, and we can admit that without denying any of the good things about the game he's making.
