I think just because F95 claims that a story is abandoned that it means the developer has abandoned it. There are a million reasons why someone may have to put aside something to take care of life in the real world. It does not mean that they have given up on the project. And as the developer is the one that has created the work so far, and it is their vision, they and only they should have the right to decide it's Fate. When the dev made the comment that they wanted to take over the story I reached out to Ced to let him know the situation. He indicated at that time his desire to continue working on Our Fate. I informed the dev of what Ced decided. He was not happy but to his credit he walked away from OF and started his own story. By the way it is a good story if you want to check it out.
Aren't you able to contact him again to understand the situation, why he's dead-silent after all these years? I just checked and his Patreon is still active (just 6 paying members). If he's alive he should at least have stopped his Patreon charge and publish a news about the "on hold" status of the VN. Or more appropriately, the abandoned status since it has been years without updates.
If he abandoned he could release some asset information so people could create fan art or new stories with the same looking characters. How would that hurt his dead product? It would be just free promotion.

I guess no one knows the assets for the female characters in the game.
It's an almost 8yo AVN, so it's quite possible the assets like the model for the daughter aren't even in the Daz store anymore (it's prob Gen 3). And even if it were depending on the morphs used she might not even be recognizable anymore from what was sold, so figuring out what was originally done by trial and error would be tedious as fuck and probably still not an exact match, just reasonably close. And that's just one model, not the probably hundreds of other things to deal with. Reverse enginnering a dead AVN and continuing it just isn't worth it to most, there's far better/and potentially more lucrative fool's errands to work on like reverse engineering Microsoft Windows (ReactOS still not even an alpha after 20+ years).
