Not wanting to give a dev money who hasn't released anything for a long time is very valid, I don't fault anyone on that end. But when I see someone actively posting updates that they are still working on it, then I'm not gonna call it abandoned.

I unironically like this game. I unironically think the dev hasn't abandoned the game. I also unironically think he is lazy, there is no excuse fathomable for the raw amount of time he's taking. Making porn games isn't building the pyramids and yes at this pace we are looking at a 15 year plan. This comes neatly into why i butted in when you /sarcasm on people saying this is a dead game by claiming they need to pay to learn news about the game when the dev doesn't deserve a dime. Think for some people, if not most, it's enough to see this game came out december 2021 and has no (actual/real/felt/downloadable)updates since and say it's dead and they are right in more worlds than you are.

I would like to be optimistic, ideally we would be talking full release for this long. But a handjob? Closing on 3 years? Even the users of this forum have better odds irl.

Na I totally get that, and don't disagree. You can see the updates for free on discord, and the dev has been pretty open on whats he been doing. Including starting from scratch at one point because he was frustrated at his own spaghetti code. Somthin I've done on projects a ton. At a certain point you just have learned a bunch and want to start over so you are not putting patches on top of patches.

But when it comes to giving someone money, I would not financially support anyone who is not consistently putting out actual playable content. Doesnt mean the game is dead.

And before someone points out that its rpgm and he doesnt need to program anything, this dev is making his own plugins from scratch. Somthing that I bet has been hard but fulfilling for a self taught dev.

No shame if you wanna unfollow the thread and forget about it. Or just post "dead game" everyday. But I'm also going to pop in and say "nu uh!" when people do, lol.

I remember when he wrote, probably 2 years ago, that he was currently testing the update and it might take some time, I wrote to him that we can test it and many people agreed with that, since then he has never published the update...

Still begging and crawling like worms hoping for an update?

Tag ABANDONED should suggest, even to the most dull human being on earth, that this game at this point in time won't receive any update.

I'm pretty sure he's not making any money. Which makes sense when you don't release constant updates. In fact, don't give him money till he shows a steady pace of releases, that's just common sense. Still doesn't mean its malicious or he's trying to scam.

In fact, he's still active on his discord so he's not gone. If you're upset just unfollow the thread and move one. If he never releases an update again, oh well, who cares.

i TRUST the dev, he released his other abandoned game up to 0.2.5, so we have a long way to go! but maybe the real update was the time years we spent living irl...

He does make money off of this game because there are still contributions via subscribestar - posting tidbits on twitter or discord without any proof of a project is exactly the same scam that F95 saw with the now-abandoned Malise and the Machine by Eromancer

He still has a total of over 100 subscribers to his subscribestar ... at the VERY least he is making over 300 a month - and that is if everyone was the lowest tier subscriber...

He even states so himself on subscribestar:

"I'm making this game to calm myself down, when I'm taking a break from coding On Edge. This means that there's no possible way of telling when I will be able to update. Having that said, making this game requires less time as it is less complex, and it's scene-based so there aren't really any technical updates required (hence why it calms me down).

Like in On Edge, note that the tiers are there to support this game. The reason I made a second page at all was to actually ensure that all support for a game goes to that game only.

But it's important to make it clear before you subscribe, that On Edge is my first priority.

Having that said, finances will be used for more art regardless."

He is milking money from this abandonware project to fund other projects ....
