It would explain some things, but totally unreliable. Depending on other's faith in you is not really an organized crime trait. Would make a decent vn story though.What the odd of this game is a money laundering scheme ?
I've said that before because it's so obvious but my comment gets deleted for being off topic every time.What the odd of this game is a money laundering scheme ?
This one will probably be deleted too.
If not tagged abandoned it should at least be tagged as on hold. They don't seem to be making much of an effort to make timely updates.
It should be fair to the potential supporters that this is something that has an indefinite release date which could include the possibility that it might never release a new update.

No, what this thread is missing is people who've read the f95 rules, since apparently large numbers of it's commentators have no idea what they say:
As Naughtykutchy said, it doesn't matter that the time between game releases are ridiculous, as long as the devs post about their game somewhere every few months it doesn't get the f95 Abandoned tag.
They gave a progress report at the start of March, put out wallpapers every month on Patreon & are apparently active on their Discord. So this game has never qualified as Abandoned, the only way it'd get one is if the devs requested it (no chance of that).
Talk of this game being 'protected' at f95 is nonsense.

That alone is not enough to avoid abandoned tag if there is still no update after 1 or 2 years, as we can see for Come Inside
Some games with big following are kinda protected up to some point. "Smaller" games get the tag more easily

If you think rules are enforced equally on the abandoned tags: I got a bridge in California you might want to purchase from me! I'm only selling due to the economy. Only mild usage by seniors traveling to and from bingo, in fact this earned the name "golden gate" Bridge
Seriously, it's ok to be a fan of a vn and not respect the way one or two devs do their parts. And it's OK to point out inconsistencies that are blatant to most...

Well, it definitely isn't the only one on here that's protected, whether it's protecting reviews or backlash, certain Devs have preferential treatment around here and it's unfair to the other Devs.

I never claimed it was the only one.
And agree 1000% with your post.
I have a biase against this one personally because that damned dev and how all the polarity fans got fucked and are continuing to get the run around...
Yeah... No, we never would have seen your agenda had you not told us.

Eh Agenda or not doesn't make anything written less true. Most living creatures have agendas from cradle to grave...
I almost support subscribestar since v.02 but now the answer is obvious.

I don't think its "protected", I just think F95 admins, mods or whomever decides to tag a game its enforcing the site's policies.
That's the problem, tho. Those policies should have been revised and changed a couple years ago to prevent a lot of shovelware to gain traction and keep poaching patrons here and there, prevent scamming aswell, which since 5 years ago has been having a rampart growth. Don't ask me what exactly changes could help, but I personally can't see myself support $10 per game I like, monthly, for a 6/7 month update cycle for 1/2 hour content, especially if it had a "Long update" tag.
And I think some games, even the not shovelware/scammer ones, do deserve some harsher treatments since its not unsual a dev roaming these foruns shitting on the site and the community, acting like this place is harmful to them when they were the ones that shared the game in the first place, when its the opposite and the site pretty much gave them the boost they need to have a steady source of patrons? Why would the devs care about a "Abandoned" tag sooo much if this is nothing but a "pirate site"? Because its more like free marketing/publicity site, even if they dont get every single download here into a patron, they sure get their fair share. What most devs want to believe is that they dont have 5 digits patron numbers because of "pirates", and not because their game doesnt have quality enough to reach those numbers and have a proper dev cycle.
As far Radiant goes, I doubt they'd have half their patrons if the policies here were harsher.

Every time I come here to read something about the game and its progress I only find people bitching about this or that.
Holy shit, just unwatch the thread and move on if you think the devs are milkers or whatever.
Criticism is good but this has turned into a toxic circlejerk.

It would be nice to read some of that. Especially the progress part.

Well, to be fair to the toxicity, its hard to talk about a game its pretty much 2 years old and has only 3 chapters, less than 5 hours worth of story and half of it its filler... yeah, let that sink in.
You see people bitching here because... there is actually no progress to talk about. You go to games like Being a DIK and you tell me what they discuss over that thread.

i get the frustration when you compare it to games like that but lets be real there is not many games you can compare to being a dik.. its in most peoples top 3 games here... This is a good game with a good story, well a good foundation at the very least, otherwise people wouldnt be mad at the progress.
Im not going to make excuses for the dev, i too wish we had more content for the time frame.. i always stay positive and hope that stuff changes to where more can be done.. Id love to be able to do the stuff these guys do and do my own games, and i would 100% put money back into it and hire people to help when you get some of the money they do. end of the day though a lot of us get these for free, i cant be mad at a dev when im not giving them money and buying a product, its not like a normal game where i can be like that.. and to those that are paying and are mad they should just stop paying.. only people i can sympathise with are the ones who put in 100s and get nothing back but also unless they was promised something they didnt receive then they cant really be too mad either.
I personally was really annoyed that after that great spanking scene with Maddy in the second episode that aside from one inane conversation we got basically no new content whatsoever on that plot in the third update, which makes the wait that much longer.
There was so much hype about being able to choose the paths for the girls and then there was really just that one scene in two years. I hope that when/if a fourth update comes out that they actually progress the Maddy discipline route and ideally also add the option to spank Olivia.

Fair but that falls short when you compare with another vn like "Now & Then" which is making less money and has been nothing but the epitome of consistency through 2 years. At the end it comes to the person behind the project.

ofcourse, all devs are different, some are way ahead too in animations.. you get some too like the guy who makes WIAB and summers gone who will go back and remake it to their standards regardless of what others think and tbh i respect that.
idk what goes on in their lifes and how much time and energy they put into it all so i cant say why or how much more they should do but this one is def behind on time. complaining usually does nothing though tbh, seeing people get pissy about it and talk to me like shit wouldnt make me want to do it any faster.. its like you see someone talk all that and you know at the end of it they wont pay shit, they will get their update and be happy and play it like someone that paid and didnt complain.. it would feel like you're rewarding them for being a cunt. so i can def see how it would never motivate a dev..
