A few days ago I finally created an account on this forum (before I was just "lurking" here for the last several years) and decided to download two small games from this thread ("Photoshoot" and "The Union"), which somebody posted several months ago. I was really surpised that I had to go back so many pages (from the last page of this thread) before I found the links to these small games.

And I thought - this "Project SAGE" game (one of the best games, in my opinion) was abandoned for about three years and yet people are still posting that many comments and messages on this thread. In other words, this game touched lives of so many people that even after such a long time (3 years) many gamers belive (and hope) that the Artist/Developer might come back some day and continue (or restart) this game again. Normally, if you look at many abandoned games - it could be only few pages of comments before the thread is pretty much dead. But clearly this is not the case here. So I felt that I had to write a message to paperwork personally.

paperwork, If you are alive and well - please (and I mean PLEASE) come back, because there are so many people in this world waiting for you to continue your Great Masterpiece (even after three long years when none of us heard anything from you). Please, do not give up on all these people (and these are just people who post comment and we don't even know how many people just "lurking" there waiting for you like I was).

paperwork - if you need any help with your Great Game, just ask people and I am sure everybody (who can) will help you (which might be prof-reading, testing, helping with renders, etc). The only thing that none of us can help you is to continue writing this greate story, because it requires a Great Talent (which you do have and we don't). Please, don't throw away your Gift, I bet, many people here would do anything to get your talent. Please, don't think that working on an erotic game is a lesser Art Work than working on some painting/sculpture (after all not many people going to the museums these days). Look how many people were affected by your game. Many people who play these erotic games are really happy to do so, because not everybody is young/handsome/rich not to mention that some people are coming from the bad divorces, etc. So for all of them them your game was giving a chance to experience something new, interesting and exiting - something that they cannot experience in the real life.

Even if you lost all the game setting on your computer - just restart this game from any point of game - you don't need to re-create all the existing branches in this game - just say to all of us: "this is where I/we continue this game from now". Create new house/street/beach settings (if necessary). Change/update the family/friends faces (the developers on this thread will definetly help you with this task). Add/remove some characters (if you feel like it). All of the possible new changes would not matter to your fans, because YOU would be working on this game again and it is Your Project!

Now, after saying all of this, I understand, that there is a small (and very unfortunate) chance that the real paperwork is dead and some rather unscrupulous person/people got hold of the paperwork computer. This person (or people) realised that there are some money coming the patrons of this Greate Game and and decided to take andventage by faked the message from paperwork around August of 2020 (to ensure more money is comming). If this is the case, nothing could be done here and I appologise to everybody who spent time reading this message. But let's hope this is not the case here.

paperwork - you don't have to reply to this message (if you have your own reasons). I know that sometimes some combination of events might look like 'a sign from God' (or something like that). I personally believe that with all the bad things that people do in this world (like stilling, killing, raping, etc) - your Amazing Game (which touched lives of so many people) is not a bad thing at all. I don't have a crystal ball, but I know one thing for sure: if you decide to come back - it would be "Best Event of Year" on this forum (hopefully in 2023) and everybody will help you with anything you need. Thank you again for your Great Masterpiece!

I agree with you about the "world literature", but how many people read today the world literature? Do you personally know anybody who read these books outside of the school/university?

But look how many people keep checking this thread (including you) - even after all these years. I just thought if somebody's hurtful comment affended paperwork, maybe my humble post will show him/her that people still remember the Artist and hope that one day paperwork will be back. Ultimately, anybody can hurt the Artist's feelings, but who is winnig at the end? Recently, I saw some user complained about new and promissing game and the developer stopped working on his/her project. Now, was it really necessary? Who actully won at the end - clearly not the game fans.

So I think, if we all just try to avoid the negative and distructive comments towards other people (which we don't even know personally) - the world (and this forum particularly) would become a better place. At the end of the day, we all come to this forum to play games and enjoy life a little bit - especially in those uncetain times.

Yes, I actually know people who can read and dare to approach books...despite the joke, "What's that?" - "a book" - "and how do I turn it on?"
Furthermore, quite a number of people have tried to persuade PaperWork (who, by the way, still logs in regularly) to continue, unfortunately without success.
... and nothing to add to your last point!

Good joke about the books (I never heard it before)! And get me right I am not against books (in fact, I have quite a few real books at my current place), but with the invention of TV and then the Internet - we have less and less people reading the books and particullary world classics. For example, how many people recently read "A Midsummer night Dream" or "War and Peace" (not to mention ancient Greek (translated) books). I think, now people mostly read "Harry Potter" style books (again, there is nothing wrong with that either - as long as it makes people happy in this increasingly complex world).

The reason why I wrote my message in the first place was - I just could not believe that I had to go back almost ten pages trying to find the links to two mini-games (which were posted about half a year ago) when the Project SAGE game was abandoned more than three (3!) year ago. And I remember how some people were posting some negative (and hurtul) comments at that time (3 years ago) and knowing that many artists could be easily offended and discouraged (especially when they put so much time and effort into their creations) and even might start thinking that they are simply wasting their time doing something stupid that nobody cares about. Which is not the case at all! And that is what I was trying to convey - these people (with the Talent) are acutually developing their own Creating Side (and enhancing their Talent) AND making thousands of other people happy - by making them experience new and exciting lives that these people cannot live themselves for a variety of reasons (for example, today many people are working in the offices just pushing papers around - what is so exciting about that?)

I apologise, if my messages/posts are a little bit euphoric or maybe naive, but I recently finally understood a really simple thing: if someone perceives the world as a dark and negative place - this person will have a bitter and un-happy life, but if the same person would try to see more good and positive in people - the life is actually not bad at all.

Now, on a more positive note - I recently discovered a relatively new game (so far only three releases, but the fourth is coming withing a month - the developer has a two month cycle), which is called Royal Switch by DeepBauhaus. In my opinion, the game has some sweetness (like "Life with Mary") and yet it is very sexy and kinky like "Project SAGE". So if someone is looking for a new and exciting game (with an interesting plot) - give it a shot. And if you like it, please, post your positive comment(s) to DeepBauhaus game thread, who is a new developer and this is his/her first game (remember - we want to help new talents with the positive suggestions vs. negative/hatefull comments).

Also yesterday I contacted GrumpyGranny about Karacan which was on hold for a year (he/she needs a help with rendering images to continue the game) - you can see my conversation with the developer at the end of Karacan thread. So if somebody was a big fan, knows how to do it and wants to help - please, contact the GrumpyGranny.

Of course you can - I found it around here some day, it is not mine anyway! Greetings!
Thank you, I was trying to add your signature also, but I can have only two pictures (with the links). So I will update my signature to include this image later (maybe a months or so).
