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.
Making the games we download for free through this forum requires a whole bunch of skills and then a whole bunch of resources on top of that. Having enough of both to put out regular updates is rare. And come on, most people here do not pay for the games but still feel entitled enough to demand regular updates. I would love to get regular updates for Mirror Mine but sadly this has never really happened so I'll just live with it. Not much to be done about it either except for lots of supporters signing up but the chances of that seem less than slim to me given the current update frequency.
One thing discussions like this show repeatedly, at least to me, is which games are good enough for people wanting updates

This was already discussed by those of us who have done so and know exactly what it takes. Feel free to catch up on that in this thread. Opinion isn't going to compete with Fact but you still free to believe despite it.
Cheers!
Go to virustotal.com and upload the files that look sus. More than 60 AV will check it. If there is only a few noname AV finds heur.something then usually it's false alarm.
