I hope things will go better for him, and he produces again. Last year was so productive here, the games, updates all over, now for the last 5 months, it is silent.
I agree. I understand that this is "just a game" or even "just some fap material", but when people pay to support there is, imo, an expectation of at least a minimum level of professionalism. I understand everyone handles stresses differently, an example in my own life: when my grandma died in an accident, I let my MMO guild know I would be gone for a few weeks. I did that because I didn't want to leave them hanging and it took me all of a couple minutes to post that info. Abandoned is the right tag for this game now, which is unfortunate because it was one of my favorites.Still , not taking time to respond after 3 months , even a short post which literally takes 5 min is not fair for those who paid him their money. The time he is away means he is done with the game and is content with its state or he is done with the programming. Dont want to sound insensible but we all had familly members with heart attack, geez my friend had both of his parents , and 1 month was enough for them to get well , his father even got a heart surgery. 3 months with not even 1 answer is insane ... no one said its easy , but really not getting time to even post its lack of respect.
Well, if he's turning off monthly charging (which a patron has said), then he owes nothing, since nobody is paying to support him.I agree.

I kinda disagree , i know he paused the monthly subscription , but dont forget that he took money from people. Basically you can give him 1st month dunno 200 euro , and maybe others wont give that amount for 2 years , so is it fair not to write to those users just because you stopped your monthly charging?Well, if he's turning off monthly charging (which a patron has said), then he owes nothing, since nobody is paying to support him.
How long does he owe people status reports? If he charges people in November, but turns off charges in December and all subsequent months, how many months do you think he should say "still not feeling like working on MSN"?I kinda disagree , i know he paused the monthly subscription , but dont forget that he took money from people.

Until you abandon it? game developing isnt like , hmm im feeling i could do it this month , next month neah maybe goin 180*. We all admit its hard for some after somebody dies/fell ill etc. Stayn silent still keeps the subscribers , so that means when he will be able he will still have most of them. like a true politician , not giving an honest answer to his voters. Still i have my suspicions this is all a farce , his mother can be well and very happy , this can be a made up story for all i know. Hope this isnt the case , but his lack of comunication with his subscribers is alarming ( and yes i am one of them , i use this forum cause i want early acces on the game , because i pledge 3 dollars). Still been subscribed to him since aug 2017, if you calculate i gave 17 months ( 17*3 = 51 euro the same amount i can give to a triple A game so my concern about the lack of comunication is justified).How long does he owe people status reports?

Never said he wanted the money , but better have the subscribers mostly intact for when he feels he can comeback.Sure it only take a few minute to write a status update but what else is there to say? That I'm still not ready to working on the game and my mother is still sick? Everything about the reason why he stopped working in the game has been post in december 2018. Unless he ready to continues working on the game I don't see any reason why he need to go on to the internet to update about his personal life status.
Why he have to came up with this lied? He could have just vanished without a word like some other developer. If its to trick peoples to give him money then why he pause patreon charges.
Well, believe what you will. Personally I don't think he is lying. But let's say you're right and he is doing it to keep subscribers mostly intact for when he feels he can comeback. Then its still a good thing. Cause all I want is to see what happen next to our sweet neighbors. I will be happy if he continues working on the game regardless if his mother is actually sick or not.Never said he wanted the money , but better have the subscribers mostly intact for when he feels he can comeback.
People who abandone/postpone/dissappear make a bad name for the hard working devs that can do their job and also the game creating part , true at a slower pace maybe but still they do it , need me to name a few ( Lust epidemic , twists of my life , depraved awakening etc.); dont expect me to believe all of them have happy easy lifes and only pandelo has misfortune...
its not canceled, its on hold as per the dev. the only reason its marked "abandoned" is due to forum rulesoh shit its canceled fuck this was a really good game
oh sorry i did not know thatits not canceled, its on hold as per the dev. the only reason its marked "abandoned" is due to forum rules
His mom is having health problems, he is taking time away to care for her.What makes it difficult is that I've never actually played his game.
I myself am having a bit of a mental block with my writing, but what you can tell him is that there is always a way.
You have to plan things out well in advance and know the ending to your story several months before you get to that point.
Like with our two games, we have an idea how each pathway is going to end, but it's the storyline in between is the most difficult part. But it has to be done in order to get to the end.
And you have to have scenes that keep the player/viewer intrigued.
Also, finding the right balance between conversations and great renders/animations is really important.
Too much dialgoue in one scene can make the person playing your game can get them bored or disinterested really quick. So keep the scenes short and to the point.
What's he actually having problems with? The script/storyline, the renders, how to progress the story?
