It's no longer abandoned.

TLDR is the dev says he struggled with the incest themes now that he has a young family, so he canned it. He says the poll on his Patreon persuaded him to reverse that decision, so he's going to pick it back up, although some side stories/girls might get skipped (and he also deleted files, so continuing might not be so straightforward).
So he will remove incest from this game?

I have no idea how it will go. My guess is that he might just lean less into it and I believe the "canon" edition has "landlady/tenant" relationships to get past Patreon rules anyway, so maybe he just doesn't put in the extra to turn that to the incest relationships. Maybe a literal fan patch will be needed. Unless he says something outside of Patreon, I guess we just have to wait and see.

Landlady / roommate / neighbor / friend / etc is correct.....there is no direct incest in the cannon edition of the game

There would be way too much to go back and rework, especially considering the rebuilding he has to do. So that's almost certainly a big "no". For new content until the end of the game? Who knows. His focus right now is getting NMM concluded. I don't think he really can remove the incest at this point, but it could probably get de-emphasized in the coming chapters.

Tris and Charlotte have pretty much been the focus of the last few chapters and with the meltdown, I'll bet he probably wants to give them a break for the time being. So we'll see what he does. If they don't count as "filler content", then he might go back to some girls we haven't seen in a while like Emma, Lauren and Lisa. Otherwise, he might just focus on concluding the main story arc then give a few girls a happily-ever-after.

Just to clear the air for all the fans here who didn't follow Devs post, he will finish the game with more updates for Main LI's scenes and story Arc, the side characters events will be cut Ex: Lisa, Lauren and sheila maybe even his boss not sure about Bea, he will conclude the game with a proper ending planned for all the main characters in the game.

Abandoning was better than this :):):)

You might be right, but he also might not cut quite that much. TBF, all he's said is that he's going to cut "filler content". While the assumption is that he's going to cut some girls, we really don't know exactly what he considers to be "filler". He probably will clarify in the coming announcements.

My guess is all the girls will have some sort of conclusion, but certain branches might be de-emphasized. Like the cuckquean emma vs. faithful route... or the faithful vs. two-timing routes with Lisa/Lauren. It's possible that just for the sake of wrapping things up, RC can just leave whichever was the most popular of those paths and make a conclusion for that but cut the others. That way he can avoid cutting the girls entirely.

But that's just guessing really. We'll see what happens.

I still have a hard time to believe that he only had one copy of his resource files.

For the (digital) things you make a living with you usually have multiple backups. In the worst case you lose a weeks progress if you only backup once a week.

Dude decided to stop making AVNs because he's got family and incest stuff is taboo for him now and wants to do just normal VN without any kind of adult stuff.

Having a family really changes things. I stopped playing "father-daughter" kinks after having a daughter. I totally understand him. I haven't been playing/downloading stuff from here like I did when I was single.

He did "make a living" with the adult vns before but reality hit him hard and made him realize this isn't a path for him anymore.

Well, he said he want to go on on this, just without "family business".
But that's not the point. He claimed he destroyed "the hard drive" with the data on it. As programmer I say: "so what? restore from one of your backups."
He deleted all the backups? Well, that should take some effort. Backups usually are deliberatly stored in a not so easy accessible place, ideally not even in the same building.

Not that I am not questioning his decision to do this and that for a living in the future. Just the technical aspect sounds ... unlikely.
I don't think he is that stupid to have all the important data that he needs to pay his rent on one drive without having a backup.

Wait, what is this i hear? Dev changed his mind and will finish this game? Even though only for main LI's i hear and will cut side characters? Im fine with that, for me Charlotte and Tris are the best ones to go for anyway so i would certainly appreciate that he finishes it in some way

If he didn't add so many side chars, the game would have been finished for quite some time already :D
He's a busy bee, delivers faster than other developers and studios.

But that's just his style, worked in No More Secrets and he's actually able to pull it off.
I'm good if there's at least a real ending for the main characters.
