gonna assume this game is abandoned considering it's been about 3 months since his last patreon post. it's too bad you didn't even get to fuck the daughter either.
It's not even been 2, man. He posted a wallpaper and an explanation of what's going on (Which has been detailed further up in the thread here) on Dec 15. It's understandable that he's not communicating much while he works the real life stuff out. Might it come abandoned? Yeah I suppose so, but I definitely wouldn't say that it is now.

This whole concept is like the Knights who say Ni.

"You said it!"
"You said it again!"
"Now I said it!"

etc.

I was wondering the same thing myself. I can't even speculate, since I know nothing about his current situation. So only thing I can do is to agree, that it's weird, that he can't even write a short post, saying he can't work on the game if that's the case. MSN is in my Top 5 VNs, so just from my personal selfish perspective, I would like to know. It's just a weird situation, though.
As far as I see, his Patreon still indicates that people are donating, even though I thought he suspended it. I don't know shit about Patreon, so there could be something I just didn't notice. Could anyone clarify it for me?

Sigh.

I'll only do this once and leave it to the maturity of the readers to take what they will from it.

Many years ago, when my Mom told us (at Christmas, no less) that she had colon cancer, it was a devastating blow. That she was not going to die "right away" was hardly consolation. She was way too young.

In some respects, I was fortunate. My boss allowed me to leave early on most days that she needed to be taken to chemo and also take whole days, as needed, for her care.

During that time, she became my sole focus. We spent as much time as we could together. While she was still strong, we took short trips. After that, it was just lunches and then, inevitably, the end.

I can't speak to other people and their relationships with their Moms. I can only tell you that during that time, I was totally focused on her. I almost never went out with friends. I worked more automatically than engaged.

I also cannot speak to the life experiences of some of the posters here, but I feel there are quite a few that have not faced this sort of scare in their life. I feel nothing but compassion and hope for Pandelo, his Mom and his family. I know the pain of never having Mom to call or visit anymore.

Professionally, Pandelo paused his Patreon charges. People who make snide comments here are obviously not patrons. Moreover, the very act of those comments says much more about them than anything about Pandelo.

Very well said ... and if people do not understand this than every other word is just wasted.

One might ask why he wouldn't answer for his patrons though. It's not hard to write a little comment, don't you think?
Considering he has paused the money and isn't milking anyone, i don't see what he has to fear.

But i also would not like to develop a degenerate porn game while my mom is dying, that's understandable.

Since he has paused his patreon and isn't getting paid, he doesn't owe anyone a post with updates. Besides, taking care of a sick family member doesn't leave you with the mental faculty or drive to bother with non-necessary things, patreon post and game dev being exactly that. It's not about the time it takes to post an update on the game development, it's more posting an update is nowhere near as important as other irl things in this situation. Then again this is just an explanation for the lack of updates from Pandello but like everyone else I have only their word for it and unlike some I do choose to believe it. Wish them and their family the best and if/when they do return to developing the game again, I would be eagerly waiting for updates, since this is one of my favorite VNs here.

Seriously, you honestly believe that making a post on patreon to say that he has nothing to say is or should be his priority right now?
Apply the same logic that you applied to the development of the game to his keeping up with his patreon site, or anything else, other than his sole focus - his family's well-being.

I dearly hope that he is able to continue this game but I think that some perspective is needed, that his family's well-being is considerably more important than my hopes or wants.
My mother also had cancer, but it was caught early and she recovered. I hope the same can be said here.

You would need to answer to your boss as well if you're not coming to work, lmao :LOL:, can't just ignore him.
It takes no huge effort to keep someone informed with a little text, better than nothing.

They did already do that though, didn't they? When they mentioned their mother had a heart attack? Also one benefit of being self employed, you have no boss to report to. Again they did what they owed to their customers and paused the payments on patreon, so I'm not sure why we are still dragging this out. Complaining here is not going to get any replies from them so we might as well wait for if/when they return.

2 months without a word, almost 4 months without update... It must be very hard to write one post in 2 months...
How about this my dude, he quit. Is that what you want to hear? He stopped his patreon and quit the game entirely, he will never come back. Now you can move on and play one of dozens of other games you play for free on this site, woe is you.

Nicely said Ignatz, sorry for your loss my friend, at least you got to spend some time with her, which is important, when my mom passed, I got informed by a phone call, it was quick, I never had the chance to tell her that I love her, and it still hunts me as today, I'll always carry that pain, so, I know what you feel.
I really wish the best for Pandelo, if he doesn't get to finish the game, then he doesn't, not a big deal, of course I'd be a little sad about it, but hey, life goes on, so I pray for our brother Pandelo for his mom's recovery.

Thank you and condolences to you as well. I believe he will be back at this one day; he seemed to genuinely enjoy doing it. I just know not to expect him to pay any attention to the game, Patreon or whatever until the issue with his Mom resolves.
