seems pretty active on discord... but its all just him bullshitting about his daily life...
example:
Random discord user - So how's Thresh doing?
Threshold - Good, went for walkie, got some work done.
Also,apparently he can't work recently becuz I have a bunch of guys that are seemingly stays in his place for days trying to fix some shit.

I kinda have to call bull on no work being possible because of this. Unless he's literally too busy to. If you don't know how to code, looking in on that part of development will just cause your eyes to glaze over as you fail to comprehend the arcane sorceries being performed on screen. From what I gather, coding the gorram maze was the big hurdle as Thresh tries to bully Ren'py into doing more than it was meant to.

As someone with beginner level code skills at best i know just enough about Ren'Py to know it's very good at some things and very hard to convince to do others, it's caused a lot of devs to flip flop over to Unity after a certain point in development.
Having a fully functional combat RPG in Ren'Py alone is fairly impressive, the maze however always seemed pretty ambitious IMO, to what benefit?. I understand as a dev, adding interesting and varied elements to your game is part of the point, if it challenges you to become a better dev that is great too, but perhaps he's bitten off more than he can chew here. Unless the intent was for this maze system to be re-used later on it strikes me that either reworking it or putting in a placeholder would have been a better choice to keep momentum and player base engagement.

I understand the whole plot critical thing, but is the function of the maze likely to be plot critical, or just what happens narratively in the maze, who we may meet there ect. There is no point banging your head on a wall for months to write a single feature, especially if Ren'Py itself if the stumbling block. I think most players would sooner accept a "not as intended" level of functionality from the maze so long as it aloud the story to progress, i understand i may to feel as labyrinthine as perhaps Thresh would want it to but i can't see how it would be worth nose diving his morale for.
Whilst I mostly agree with your concerns...
It's hard to abandon something you put time and effort in no matter how much better it would be to move on...

MGD seems to be die soon too(after couple updates or even before labyrinth), sad
Nah, despite a few of us being frustrated its just (hopefully) looking like far longer delay/wait than any of us were thinking/expecting. Whatever the reasons, it is what it is. Lets hope the people supposedly need to be in their room that keeps them from typing up the character's lines for some reason get a move on soon.
Porting this to RPGM would be so much faster than all the juggling the dev have to do with Ren'py for the mechanics work in the way he want.

Switching engines that have nothing to do with each other is a sure way to success.
sorry but we have to disagree about this because of the incompatible change of engines and besides don't forget that this game still is a "text based" game and a don't think RPGM as good engine for this type of game.

If you think you can port the entire game to RPGM in a few months, go for it.

It's kinda sad honestly. What does everyone here think are the factors contributing to this?

After "Burning out" or "Taking a Break", usually intervals between updates grows larger and larger, but I'll be happy to be wrong about MGD it's still among of my favorites, yet we can see usual scenario.

The primary one besides burning out? Patreon. If you were recieving $3,638 a month without having to do anything but update your discord once every few days or so, and on top of that, you have people who defend and enable you to continue to act this way, why would ever feel the need to rush out content?
They just lost interest.
I think this is just something that sounds right but doesn't really add up when you think about it like if they just wanted to start scamming people there'd be no reason for them to take the effort to keep interacting with the community to imply they're still working on the game because most Patreons aren't ever going to get rid of their pledges just because the creator has gone silent, as there are tons of completely abandoned games still getting hundreds for that very reason.
well my theory is: run out of ideas or losing "the joy of creation", this happens because when you start a project and have a lot of ideas to use in it is really funny to implement these ideas but when the time pass and you start run out ideas or you're just make something because your fans want you to,you start losing the joy of develeloping your project until the moment that you are work in project just because you can't let your fans down but work this way is far more depressive and slow that's why takes to much time to update.
