I'm not a fan of the one that's being worked on now either. This game was truly superior in every way.A game with great writing - abandoned to make AI slop...

Im always confused about these kind of games anyway, who wants to play a bad or at max average card game just because there are some titties
In that case just play a good card game.
Dont get the dev either, its like downgrading your product for no reason at all. Like he woke up and thought "Hmm i think i want to become a worse dev! That would be awesome!"
lol I have that general attitude towards AVNs in the first place. There are so many options out there, even dating sim eroge stuff that are mainstream, with way better writing and production. To me these indie ones really only make sense for niche fetishes, so this one was good for that. Anything vanilla there are already way better choices. So for me I just check out some femdom stuff on this site, otherwise I play normal games if I want to play something.
Very disappointing seeing this abandoned.

Well, my understanding of the back story is this:
MrSilverLust was (and probably still is) a big fan of Slay the Spire. After he released chapter 6, he was feeling like he needed a break from NIF. So he decided to try making a card battle style game as small side project for fun, and also experiment with the new AI tools to learn more about them. After he got to a certain point with Decked in Love he released it as a kinda preview (for free), then he went back and did another two releases of NIF, chapter 7 part 1 and 2, and then a released a minor update for DIL in Sept'24. After that we have not really heard anything more about either game.
So It's not as though this small side project is the specific reason that NIF has not had a release for ~10 months. And there is no public information suggesting that MrSL is currently working on Decked In Love now - he seems to have just gone to ground completely.
I honestly hope MrSL is not having troubles in the "real world", and this hiatus is just "normal" burnout from putting so much of his energy in NIF for 3 years straight. I'm grateful for the chance to work with hin, and of course I'm sad that we can't see the continuation or conclusion, but ... that's just the way it goes.

I mean yeah, Slay the Spire IS awesome, the thing is you dont create anything comparable to it as a little side project, you will either have to dive in really deep and make it creative and complex which is not easy to create (and probably not really what most adult fans here are looking for) or you will create a kinda cheap garbage card game really nobody needs
Did he stopped patreon subscriptions during the developmend of decked in love (between chapter 6 and 7 according to you? Otherwise that was not free and instead subsidized by his nif patreons. But i have to clue what happened there and i dont really care, hes the dev and he can do what he want as long as people are paying or he doesnt need the money.

Cucking games stopping midway development is the purest form of cucking.

Sure, but even if you DO want to make an elite card game, you don't just roll out of bed and fashion it from scratch. You need to spend time making mediocre games to learn how to do it right. And to be fair to MrSL, I doubt he was aiming to make something truly elite, he was probably just trying to make a fun doodle and decided to share it with the rest of the world. There's nothing wrong with that, even if it's not how we'd prefer he use his time.
I think osanaiko is right that the card game isn't what killed NIF. At most it's a symptom.
It's a shame to leave this game unfinished, but it was starting to feel like MrSL might have bit off a little more than he could chew.
What a shame this has been abandoned
I hope the dev gets his mojo back and comes back to it one day, I need more Kim

I stoped playing since december. Have around 100 games waiting. Sometimes I come back here to see if at least one is finished. Just found one abandoned.
I just don't feel like going back only to stop in another cliffhanger. Not even BaD or Artemis I played the new update. Maybe in 2 years I come back and start a completed game from the beggining.

It's still paused on patreon, so I didn't lost all hopes yet.

Nah, Like most other devs of these types of games that get very popular... he simply made more than enough $$$ to no longer concern himself with finishing what he started. It is currently a plague in this genre, sadly. I personally never believe when all theses devs come with these lame sob stories, 'i was sick but now better' 'my dog died' 'I was trapped on a Somali pirate ship for two years'
. Im too cynical to buy that crap.The truth is... They will eventually be back to stringing folks along with remakes or shallow content updates when they notice their bank accounts have dipped just far enough.

Well, I'd say to not attribute to malice what could easily be attributed to ineptitude.Nah, Like most other devs of these types of games that get very popular... he simply made more than enough $$$ to no longer concern himself with finishing what he started.

I'd more than wager that the vast majority of devs that are on their first games or haven't had much dev experience tend to just run out of gas and not know what the fuck they're doing with the story, or they tie the story up so much that they can't get a good way out of it.
I'm fairly certain that the vast majority of devs (besides that one dude that made Demon Boy and the other games, and the Summertime Saga dude) tries their best to finish a game.
Seems unlikely in this case as he seemed to capped out at $650-800/month before fees and tax, not exactly FU money.. burn out seems more likely imho. Not close to enough money to make it worth pushing yourself for.Nah, Like most other devs of these types of games that get very popular... he simply made more than enough $$$ to no longer concern himself with finishing what he started.
