Abandoned. What a shame. I'm from the era of Line Marvel's 2D platform games and I really like this game. Shame. I still don't understand why, having good sponsors, they don't continue with the game.
Abelius is still busting his balls on this one, it's not actually abandoned. It's just milked with no updates so frequently that it may as well be, but don't worry as it won't bother Abelius MUCH as he's really working hard on a part 1 of his 2052 update that adds another landlord groping scene.

Ah man, the game got abandoned for real? this sucks. I was waiting for lesbian sex.
It's not abandoned. For some reason (if there was one, I forgot about it), he stopped posting updates on both Patreon and SS since May, posting progress reports exclusively in Discord (which drops semi-regularly). By this site's rules, 6 months of radio silence is enough to count as abandoned till actual update release.

Even if he was posting progress reports on patreon and SS this probably would still get marked abandoned since the dude hasn't put out actual content in however many months.

Also love how in that one snip from discord he said he didn't really care about it being marked abandoned on here when that should be a huge red flag for the weirdos still subbed to jump ship since they haven't gotten any actual content to play in this many months. I don't know how that wouldn't be a wake up call to stop paying this dude to make pictures and type up random progress report crap instead of just putting out actual content.

Not to be pedantic (but I'm going to be pedantic :KEK:),

I don't think there's any automation to it? It's technically meant to happen after only 3 months of radio silence from a dev, and that's happened plenty of times without a tag being applied until someone reports it.

I do wonder how you'd even automate such a system? Input which specific socials the dev has a presence on, and create a bot to scan those socials prior to the 3-month marker for new posts, with the timer resetting each time the thread receives an update?

It seems like such a system would need a lot of manual overhead - for every single new project posted on here, you'd have to manually input which specific socials and usernames to scan for dev posts. How would it know if the dev moves socials? Another manual input? There are socials where you need to log in with a verified account in order to see the R-18 content - but I suppose the F95 team could create an account for this purpose, so that one's not an issue at least.

There's also the solo dev projects that sometimes get posted by F95 members who have no socials. Would it count their F95 as the social? But what if they're making posts that have nothing to do with their project for 3 months, does the bot have some sort of AI functionality to determine that? And could you trust it?
Ah, yes I think you're right. I'd heard from other users that the Abandoned prefix was applied automatically when the thread OP hadn't been updated in a particular amount of time, but I've just looked up the definition of the prefix in the rules, and I can see now there is a lot more to it than that, so it must be manually managed. So my bad on that.

Still, my main point still stands in that it's simply the judgement of a thread moderator on a third-party piracy forum and shouldn't be taken by users as a definitive indication of the game's development status (but of course many do see it as definitive, which is why I don't like this system. But I won't go on about it any further because it would be too off-topic).

Yesterday Update:

Alright. I've continued to test everything, and some issues have arisen related to the changes I've made.
That's to be expected, and there's no turning back now.
So, I'll persist, address every issue, and ensure everything works as efficiently and effectively as possible.

On a more personal note, I think I'm experiencing burnout symptoms lately. I'm feeling detached, unmotivated, and irritable.
This is the longest stretch I've had between updates, and the mere thought of taking a break makes me feel guilty.
So much that I can't even bring myself to find joy in any hobbies that worked wonders in the past.
The irony is that I'm not stupid and I know I need to take breaks, or my performance will drop to shitty levels, which is worse.

I tell you this, not to justify any slacking on my part (I'm pushing through anyway), but just to be honest.
I'm aware most of you are patient as fuck and will say *"Hey, don't worry, take your time, and don't stress so much over it."* Thanks, guys. I fucking love you.
Then some stalkers will be happy at this admission of weakness and will try to use it as a confirmation of their doomsday preaching. I don't care.
For the rest of the 'undecided' people, I have a message...


Yes, this project is going slow as fuck. I know it and trust me that's the main reason for my misery right now.
However, as I've said many times, I don't have the luxury of giving up. This is my full-time job for better or worse, and there is no way I could even return to my previous work life, even if I wanted to. You guys are stuck with me and my amateur game for the long run.
I know things look grim from the outside, there is no visible indication of the project progressing, and now I'm even admitting I'm not at my best. I don't look like a winning horse, I know.
But... I'm not going to stop. This horse will never stop running, even if it's at a pathetic limping trotting pace.

That's a promise.

how ironic. dev is definitely milking that patreon money to find time to fuck around on fitgirl XD

EDIT

Isn't it sort of ironic that Abelius hates when his game is pirated but he himself is downloading fitgirl repacks?

So everyone has to pay a monthly subscription for his game but he's allowed to pirate games? :unsure: :coffee:
