I could be wrong, but based on my own life, you don't write like this about something as dark as this, unless you are/have been in a dark place.

Agreed. I don't know that it's impossible, but I'd say it's extremely difficult to convey realistic descriptions of the struggle or realistic dialogue of someone going through it unless you have direct experience with it yourself.

Wouldn't be impossible, and I not to speak for the dev without knowing for sure, but given how this hits me, I would say he has been in a dark place before this game started, and probably why it is affecting him now, probably started out as a way to move past things, but shit has a way of catching up on you.

It's not an update, but I thought people might be interested in seeing it anyway.
There's still no money being taken on August 1st, but it appears that they'll start again september 1st. Might just be the way Patreon shows accounts being paused.

What's actually worrisome is the total absence of any type of communication from the dev...hopefully he's alright
i am more worried about the missing dev than the no release at the moment. You can somehow see where the loneliness and pain the by MC inspired by the Dev's own depression

Well something is going on because I reported the game OP for abandoned tag and it was rejected.

Give him time—there's probably a lot of pressure and anxiety involved in releasing an ending, especially one that's likely to be bittersweet, as was expected from the start.
If Professor is still reading here, don't pressure yourself brother, you got this. Release the ending that feels right to you, it's impossible to make everyone happy.

anyone performing in the circus arena will be liked by 25%, disliked by 25% and will be indifferent to 50% of the audience. and if he tries to spin like a top, no one will like him at all. so it is better to stand in your place and have your own reliable 25% of the audience that loves you.
I've got the game title music playing in the background, while reading these comments, hoping dev is safe and well is making me very sad......

Dev is around and is play testing some recently updated VNs around here.
Last update to supporters was six months ago where we got warned:
There's so much to cover in this last release and dev needs it to be just right.
So, dev is taking the time with this and wants to end ODS on a high note.
It's a challenge, because although none of the endings are terrible for our reluctant hero,
none of them are "good" endings. But they each should be satisfying for you as the player.
And don't worry, the MC does find some degree of happiness in each of the final paths even if they do hurt a bit.
Botom line is: we should hope dev learns a bit from One day at a time about putting on a good show of human dignity amidst all those gloomy downright depressing endings we are heading into with this game ... already forewarned of no good ending, not even one!
Just that in this thread there is not much to say after the rather moderately to dowcast predictions for the endings:

Thank you kind human. I totally don't expect happily ever after, just glad it sounds like the dev is trucking on to this unique vn's finale!
