abandoned?
The Developer said he'd finish it after sorting out some issues.
Maybe he's going the "Steam" route going forward, because Patreon is a shit show for adult content creators.
But that is purely speculation.

Hi! Nothing horrible. It's just that the legislation in this area has become stricter in my country :) Thank you!

I think he means making money online in general, because I don’t see any countries in the world banning or changing laws around online NSFW content…
Ukraine blocks these type of stuff ? Idk and i don't think so i wonder what's got him cornered feel bad for him

SadPepper is from Ukraine?
Hi!

There are nations which have laws about this or better NSFW in general. e.g. the creator of "Lisa" is walking on a legal tightrope since porn stuff in his home country is partly forbidden, partly grey zone. The Developer of "Tomie" lives in a country where porn is generally forbidden and was found out. In his case the social backlash was surely much more worse than the legal stuff due to the location.

It sounds like Sadpepper was already on the fence about developing more games for a couple reasons and even this slight change was simply one of the last straws.

That is unfortunate to hear. Though, we still don’t know for sure if SadPepper was afraid of any legal repercussions for publicly developing NSFW games.

His editing of the announcement to remove mentions of “increased risks associated with NSFW games” could be damning evidence either way; but I think the dev mostly just burned out of monthly development schedule they’ve maintained for years now.

Dev hasn't been on since September 6. I wonder will he come back at all, or will this fizzle and die like so many games?

He’s probably taken a step back from developing the game, given how he described the situation - and especially now that he’s not beholden to any subscribers or donors, he can take his sweet time.

I try to never give up — especially not because of bad reviews. The only time I lose motivation is when something stops being interesting to me. Sorry I’ve been quiet for a while :) The update’s coming, but it’ll be out in October.

And you won’t believe what I’ve been doing in my free time this month — I made a game without any 18+ content :p It was fun and kind of a nice distraction. Though, who am I kidding — every now and then I still end up making 18+ games too. Old habits die hard :ROFLMAO:
