When it takes a year or 2 to get an update it seems a bit questionable.

F95 should make a new "Latest Games & Updates" for games like and just call it "Rarely Updated Games" or just " Rarely Updated" for the link and all of those moved away from the normal games updated list.

Mind you do not forget those games that release a completed version when its not even really completed just because they wanted to stop working on it.

If games do not get completed properly it feels too much like a waste of time to even start it. Makes you feel sorry for those people who patron or subscribe to them.

In my honest opinion that is just stupid. Working a multiple projects just distracts you from making an real progress.

The "abandoned" tag is an internal F95 thing, it is no real indication on the actual development of a VN.

He works on 2 VN's at the same time because that's what he wants to do, we get it for free so no harm done. All we have to do is wait. Some dev's find it makes it easier to have 2 different vn's so they can alternate and not get bogged down on a single process, just how different people handles things differently....

Dev works on 2 games which in my opinion its a bad move but he does it.

Kind of depends. If I was a dev, I'd start a second project when was on the second-to-last update in my present game and new I'd be finishing soon enough. The strategy, I imagine, is to give my Patrons something else to get into while they're still supporting me, so that when I complete the first game, instead of seeing a massive exodus of supporters, they stick around to support the new project.

Its understandable if you have "GREAT" hardware cause the processes is shorter but if you have "decent" hardware stay with one project you would be barely be able with decent these days.. But im just assuming he has "decent" hardware.

not even then.
MrDots, for example, has really great hardware and an additional team of 3-4 people helping him to create his game(s) as you can imagine.
Nonetheless even he does actually 2 games at once since quite some time, he also says that he would never do that again, nor recommend other devs to do so.
So why did he in first place? well, the answer is simple: because of patreon. His first game "Dating my Daughter" has been banned from patreon, and to keep his supporters, he needed another game on there. So "Melody" was started hastily to cover patreon. After Melody was done, another game needed to be on patreon, as DMD could not be the one for obvious reason. So "Sunshine Love" was started to be on patreon (without incest patched content). Now, as DMD comes to an end, SL will be finished within a few months too. After that MrDots is going back to creating ONE game at a time, as it will be also on Patreon (with a non-incest version).

So in short:
Unless you are FORCED to create 2 games at once, you shouldn't even think about to do that. Focus on ONE thing, and make that 100% until it's done. Even your supporters will thank you for not having such a long time to wait for another 10 minutes update.

indeed - but that's not ONE developer with help of others, they are a developer group - at least as far as i know

The Abandoned tag is arbitrary and usually doesn't have anything to do with whether a dev abandons a game or not.
