What was the dev's explanation for doing that? It seems like a really bizarre choice to just abandon all those assets.

Because he can. Legit, that was his excuse for remaking the game into a VN. He didn't bother telling anybody about it, just went ahead with the remake, then just dropped it onto us. Want to know the hilarious part? A lot of us tried it, didn't like it, gave him our opinion (nice and bad way), but did he listen? Noooooo, he just became a little bitch and started whining about all the criticism on his new 'Vision' while banning everybody who criticised him.
Don't believe me? Just check the previous pages to see for yourself
Unfortunately, doesn't surprise me. I've seen other hentai game developers have weird and unproductive power complexes and/or delusions of grandeur before.
I mean, if he wasn't receiving monthly funding by patreons under a specific premise, he could do whatever he wanted. He'd probably lose money but that's his problem. My biggest issue is when a developer is receiving money for something and then goes haywire. People are paying money for a specific product, they're not donations.

so, is this on hold or on death row? since the scammer start another scam
Great takes. This people are getting way too comfortable with changing the game main points and abandoning it and start a new project. There should be a punishment to do so. Like Patreon charging the scum dev some money if they want to continue posting BS excuse to stop working in the game in patreon.
I truly like the game mechanism now but rn its so lacking about how the game is supposed to be play. I hate this type of defeat scene but no in fighting scene.
And right here, you hit the nail on it's head. There seems to be no accountability besides the court of public opinion if a dev decides to change a game partway, not fulfil expectations, etc. And if the developer is dead set on removing/banning comments pointing this out (there are some major examples that come to mind), there is virtually no way to warn new subscribers besides venting on dumpster fires like f95. It's actually a serious problem as it makes way for developers to do whatever they want.

Yeeeeppp, oh and get ready for few comments coming your way, most likely from "new users" that defend the game dev like they get paid for it lol
They can but I'm talking about the hentai game industry itself. If talking about developer accountability gets people in a huff, then already something is a bit fishy. I wish there was some kind of 3rd party agency that regulates Patreon by doing status checks on games, an audit in a sense, so developers can't just have an ongoing project forever, be untruthful about the status of a game, and/or steer too far from the initial game expectation (unless with some kind of way to *legitimately* gauge community support). I find a lot of hgame devs want to pull up their big boy pants and be a professional game designer but leave at the door what actually makes something professional such as accountability, transparency, and at the end of a day a shippable (aka actually complete) product.
But to stay on topic, I would be interested to actually know why the switch from card battler to VN. I enjoy card battlers quite a bit (big fan of STS), but very few hgames get it right. That upcoming Knightly Passions game seems to be a strong candidate for something well done.
Patreon, and many other crowdfunding or monetization plataforms really SHOULD have more protective measures: Anti-scam practices, really getting into what the dev or team are doing...
But that would mean more work, more people and less money, in short: Its never going to happen.
Not until the western industry is co-opted by already existing businesses and the wild west of f95 will be over.

Out of curiosity, since i never followed this game or anything - when was this "onhold"-ed?
The pics make this game look very much like Karryns Prison.

What's funnier is that the male MC isn't even like, some tough looking MF that goes and gets women. He's a twink who's face is drawn in the exact same way Vel draws chicks, lmao.
Monster Girl Dreams Mentioned, +1 Respect. The world needs more Monster Girl games with a dominant path for the guy MC.

He should find a competent dev team(and a good PR person) with a great coder, have THEM make Saria Reclaimed and he can just shut-up and draw the art. He has proven to have NO people skills what so ever.
If we all look at the entire porn game industry, we'll see that it's generally underpaid. Do you really want some 3rd party monitoring underpaid developers when they do or do not do something?
Exactly, so the only way to make it better is to support people so they can work on their games full time and have the potential to show the results and the concurrency.
For example, take a look at the top 10 developers on Patreon. How many of them show transparency, good work ethic, stable updates?
Look at DC for example, how many full time indie developers can you support with the money he gets every month for wallpapers? Wallpapers can be generated with AI, He gets $62K - $178K every month.
The original post of this is gone. Does anyone have the bug fixes that were mentioned?
