no update since september. dev came on last month and said some bullshit excuses and then said *at that point* that he was taking an extended break. game is abandoned. full stop.
I will repeat my thought that it is better to perceive the game as 1.04, and not 0.10.4. The author nevertheless embodied his main idea, the rest, for now, are mini additions and corrections. This 0 at the beginning is just a trick to get people to bring money. So we can only wait for a new game from another author, or, as an option, a second wave of inspiration from the author and a global transfer and expansion, which is unlikely, because modders show, for example, what better rooms look like.
sure, you could consider it a 1.04, if it were even remotely complete, but its not. ill repeat my thought. the game is dead and abandoned.
maybe the dev will decide to revive the project, but that seems unlikely and none of the modders seem to want to take over and continue the project themselves, even if it has to be under a different name, etc. if you want my conspiratorial hot take, the dev is stuck and is hoping someone poaches it so he can claim ip and try to profit off of their work. (i think the reality is that he got out of his depth, got stuck and just gave up, but doesnt have the fortitude, or is too greedy, to either admit it or ask for help)
a LOT? his patreon payments dropped by 450€ in the last months.
but there are still 318 idiots paying for nothing.
i saw devs who were stopping all their patreon payments as they quit working. but not this tvalle guy. he keeps cashgrabing happily.

"TValle? Yeah, i remember him, great guy. Shame he died by erotic asphyxiation."
Did the joke at least make an amusing sound as it flew over your head?

Oh, come on. This is kind of unfair. I think it's right to get mad when developers milk their patreons and keep cashgrabing. But this dude gets under 1k each month. That's not cashgrabbing.
I get furious with guys that make VN's that are 10x easier to make but earn 10x the amount of money, but always come up with an excuse to delay the update.
Or those rich devs who gets 10k+ each month and don't use the money properly. If a developer earns a lot he NEEDS to hire people. Or at least some freelancers. But they get greedy and their game gets stuck.
But 1k each month? Come on... no reason to get mad at him. 3D games are hard to make. That's why we have only a handful of 3D games, but billions and billions of visual novels

I hope someone revives him. Or in our case, “the patient is more dead than alive”?

It looks like the number of people with integrated GPUs is huge. Naturally, they prefer visual novels to full-fledged 3D projects. This is why technically simple games are more popular.
But we are talking about something else here. It's a shame when a developer neglects cool and promising games because of his greed or incompetence. It doesn't matter how much money he makes.
In my opinion, the best solution would be to give the source code to enthusiasts, of course, not for free (someone here already suggested this).
The conclusion is simple: if you don't know how to shit, don't torture your ass.
the guy here TValle said he got this game going from xplayer game and they had abandon us customers in that game he was one customer and i was one too, i hope this TValle does not abandon us like we got abandon in that game xplayer which he said he got the idea for this game SMA. Xplayer 10 or 12 yrs ago
