Don't get too excited. It'll probably get abandoned, if it hasn't been already.
It won't get abandoned, but rather left in the dust. The developer Le French has stated that the project has become a money drain, and it is not making money for him, i.e. it doesn't have enough support.

So, another game left unfinished for him. Right on. I won't be playing any other by him if that's the case.

Should make the game because you want to make it and tell a story. Financial 'success' is never going to be a guarantee...if that's the goal just don't bother in the first place as the time/cost and effort involved will very quickly make you stop. How many VN's are on this site abandoned after the first or second update by people thinking they can make a bucket load of cash.

And yet, LeFrench has many platforms. Like what development of a game can be tricky. :confused:

Mmm ... instead of all this speculation why not ask the dev directly? I see he is very active in his discord:unsure:.
And the thought that people should make games just because they want to tell a story:ROFLMAO: lmaoooooo.
It is too expensive and time consuming for it to be just that, it is not wrong for devs to have certain expectations when it comes to money, after all thats the main goal for 99%+ of devs here. No one is going to be wasting hours and hours of writing+rendering making a porn game just for the sake of "art". If you dont monetize it, it is a waste of time. Happens with music, books, everything. Devs should just be careful when managing expectations and not try to put all their eggs in one basket because then you end up with abandoned projects.

If you make a, AVN exoecting to make a shit tonne of cash...you are going to be very...very...very disappointed. That's a fact. Adult VN's are like Only Fans girls...only a very small minority actually manage to make money out of it...the rest just pick up whatever is left.

So again, for the uneducated in life...make the VN because you want to make it and want to tell a story. Yes, it can be classed as art. If you finish it..and people like it..then maybe you'll start making money and your second project will hit the ground running. You really think all authors think they will make the big time instantly? Most can't even get a damn publisher for their first work.

Damn I wonder what kind of brain damage would lead you to think that some dude will dedicate several hours a day + heavy investment in equipment and resources to a project just because they "wANt to TeLL a StoRy". My god, thats some delusional shit or maybe just underage naivety, and not knowing how adult life works.

Any more insults tough fella? Damn...fucking internet...full of kids who should be in bed.

Who's investing in anything? Over 90% of shit on this site is not done with expensive hardware, is done by folk who work full time....

This is no different to idiot YouTubers, all thinking they are interesting and funny enough to make 20k a year when the reality is, very few make good money. So yes, unless your an absolute deranged moron...you do it because you want to....because the actual reality is (fuck expectations) is that you aren't gonna cut it.

Who'sb delusional again?

You are, "fella". What insult did I say. Just speaking how it is and if you think theres no investment into making a porn game like this then you are so much worst than I thought. I have no interest in discussing with a child or a grown man with a mind of child so I'll just leave it at that. But your attempt at being a tough guy was very entertaining in how pathetic it was so it was not entirely a waste of time.:D
Btw, if anyone wanted to know:

Chill out, Lefrench does not have a crystal ball and neither do we. They might make terrible predictions, which they shouldn't unless they're completely sure, but lets live a little more in reality. Reality is often disappointing in the great words of the Purple Giant Thanos. Let reality be the base level from which we make our opinions. If the update comes out, lets be happy. Until then we can only wait.

Appreciate the update, the doomsayers were getting ridiculous.
I, for one, would absolutely be devastated if Red Lucy never earned its <completed> tag, the renders are just insane (and it is one of the few incest stories where both of the siblings are on the same page from the start).

However, I do believe Le French himself stated that he is not quite receiving the financial support he needs to make this project go faster.
