I don't disagree with you. But this is a dev that puts out maybe one update a year typically, over the last few. It sucks, and I'd just advise anyone who wants more just to put it on the back burner and be glad if more get posted. But he is clearly still at least claiming he's working on the project, which to me meets the definition of "not abandoned".
- Thread starter xןʞ
- Start date
My understanding was regardless of stated intentions, and while the "3 month rule" is only for radio silence from devs, 18 months is the span elapsed without game updates for which the label can be applied. Or so says here.
While I don't know the dates exactly, on his public-facing patreon I see "MWAS v0.13 Beta version released!" as the last post referring to actual gameplay back in 10/23.... whoops, guess that answers my own question - by that criteria it should be labeled come April of this year.
But do be clear- I say this as a public service to anyone under the impression updates are just slower but progressing - his patreon shows not a single gameplay-related update or news item in over 14 months. The frequency of updates about bonus renders makes this look worse, not better.
Man, three months seems really, really short on that one. I think a lot of my very favorite games have had much longer stretches than that.
i think that's just for TOTAL radio silence, like zero patreon sub communication, not just game releases. The dev's fallen off the face of the earth for 3 months, that kind of stuff.

They'll probably decline it because it needs to be three months of silence from the dev or 18 months without an update.
Wallpapers unfortunately count as communication.

Check out Pineapple Express , Exploring the big Apple and Memories.
If any DeviantWiz patrons are in this thread, are you guys asking him about how the update is coming along and when does he think it might be ready?
And if you guys aren't asking him this, why aren't you asking him this?

Also why are you still a patron of a game with no update in 15 months, what are you paying him for, his wallpaper?

excuse me,but what are you talking about?
Each of us with our own money supports the developer we want....
I for one only support the games I like even if they are not updated often.

Hope
And this has already happened before skippy to other milking devs trying to do this
Hope your happy with encouraging these milking devs then. So you have no problem with no update for 15 months then? And your happily paying monthly to get a wallpaper render. Pretty sure patrons can complain to Patreon that this is not what they signed up for and they can put his game on hold for false advertising for a game when all your getting is wallpaper.

I'm not happy I don't like reading your hate... and you? Are you happy?
you are just a thief
I replied to you ... because you opened this topic ... I would never have responded if you were talking about the story of
and it is really sad to see someone who steals other people's work for free in a pirate site encourage not to support the developers...
You are a thief who wants to encourage others to steal
does it make you happy to do this?
And why don't you mind your own business?
Is the game abandoned?
I already said to you
I support also abandoned game!
what business is it of yours to encourage others to stop supporting artists who develop games?...
I respect artists and if I like a game... I support the artist who wrote it even if the game is complete...
The game is not abandoned... so... what do you want to do?
This story is amazing and the dev deserve to be supported!

Not to be disrespectful because you have the right to you opinion. However, I also see Filthy Animal point as well. Yes you can choose to support a dev who is not working a current game . But, it does seem to the rest of us that it rewards someone for no work. I always thought you got paid for a fair days work. In this case we do not see that. There are several other Dev's doing the same thing... Paid for no work. If they drop a game and start another one... I see it then. But, if not it seems to me they get something for nothing.... and that sends a message.
I see you comments on other game so I know you have been around ..and I appreciate those comment . Again everyone has an opinion and I respect yours and your choice . Others has the same right, They think this guy is not playing fair so to speak... They can ask other to stop supporting... again just opinion .. take it for what it is... maybe venting...but still an opinion.

It is rather ironic that some on a pirate site berate others for supporting a Dev that isn’t producing updates in what, they deem, a timely manner. Oh, I agree this game should get the abandoned tag and I drop dev support after three months without an update. Still, I find it amusing berating others who financially support a Dev when you get it for free. Hey, but everyone can have an opinion
