I just started following this game and I was a little taken aback by everyone bashing Eromancer. I'm guessing the game follows the typical norm of suffering from snail-paced development with disproportionate financial support or the developer giving some mouth.

Their Patreon was closed, part of the reason why they added the 'rough' stuff back in.
I like the other stuff. It seemed more slutty and erotic to see the lil' playable fella get into it.

Another one of the big reasons was the apparent discontinuation of Malise and The Machine to develop Pure Onyx.
We've been told that MATM is 'temporarily on hold' while PO is completed, but it's been years since then so who knows?
Even if Ero ever did actually finish PO and go back to MATM, you can't help but be worried about the fate of MATM given PO's dev cycle.

wt're you talking about, all i see are test updates and the same updates the game has showcased thus far.
i just scrolled through their pateon through the link you gave. even then, someone already told you if you are not aware: the patreon is CLOSED. (aka OUT OF ORDER). we may not even know where they are. for all we know after the closing they could've restarted from scratch. do you know how long it takes to code? especially for the game with graphics of this caliber?
mind you parasite in city came AFTER this game, and it' also a side-scroller F2P. you guys got your priorities mixed up. that's no good.

Just found out this game today. Looks good, but then I read some "bad" things around here and there tho I didn't read everything through 322 pages. So is this game going to be abandoned again like the previous one or is there any hope of progression? Kinda new and idk what happened

oh there's progression, however think of this game and the dev as EA.
bugfixes as far as the eye can see, and so much fan art addings that the game might actually legitimately complete itself around the actual IRL heat death of the universe. if you were in a parallel dimension, you prob wouldn't be asking this though.
the worse part is, there is a better side scroller game that came out BEFORE this one, on a limited engine, but better everything altogether.

MATM was abandoned when Ero worked alone. PO has a team of devs this time around, so there is more commitment to it. Also, even though there are months between updates, then they have been consistent for at least a year or two. Yes, its not going fast, but its very time-consuming to do what they are doing and you will see people underestimating the effort it takes to make videogames all the time.
Does that mean PO wont be abandoned? Nope. But it does mean its less likely. What worries me the most is that the only progress they are having are H scenes and stages right now. The stats, moves, gameplay and all that still haven't really been touched since the game was released, making me question if they even have someone to do that.

they do stages? that's a first. with so little stakes and so little enemies: you'd think that they WEREN'T copy pasting assets.
Ero has pretty much always worked with a team, to quote from 2015:
"TK finished the model that we sketched out for Malise's sword"
"Thanks to your support I've been able to add a dedicated Ruby programmer to the team"

By 2016 full time team members were in the mix as stated by Ero.
