First, he doesn't "have to do" a shit. He's not obliged to. Especially when an army of cocksuckers are hounding for his precum and filling his pocket with all the benjamins he needs. Hard to blame him at this point.

I say that if the next update is weaksauce, then we should just go forward with the abandoned tag. I think there's a good chance he's going to release something small just to keep the fish on the line.

Or maybe you're incapable of reading the one in numerous posts on this page that said the developer has since confirmed he is still working on it, maybe that's the issue here, right?
Imagine you were working on a project and someone ripped it out of your hands, to continue working on it - against your wishes because they thought you weren't working on it fast enough. And then, imagine that the same person had not paid a penny for your product or anything toward it - because that, you've just described 90% of the people on F95.
And imagine all patreos who donates money and don't get about one year an update? There is plenty of ways to choose. He can make it open source if he dont have time, higher developer, or ask mothers in his discord chanel to help him with a game I know that there would be a plenty of people who worked for free.
You can access all of the source code and extract all of the assets. Having him give everything away would save time, but anyone can look at what he did and rebuild it if they want.
The reality is that this game must be done as a passion project. 1k a month isn't enough to pay for proper 2d/3d artists for environments, clothing, animations, etc. Anyone with that kind of talent can earn a lot more money doing a 9-5 boring job, and skip the patreon stress.
I haven't chatted with the developer for a long while now, so I have no insight into what he is doing. I still find the lack of communication unnacceptable, regardless of what is going on.
As for Monkey, continued support will depend on how much effort is required, how many things he broke and where the game is headed.

I'm sorry but, if someone is willing to back a project for over a year that's seen no updates then the blame is entirely on that person, not the developer. Life happens and sometimes development gets bogged down due to a variety of reasons - just because someone is patreon does not mean they're owed the source code of the project they back. You're living in a fantasy land if that's how you think development works.

This is a pirate forum. Intellectual property (source code of the project and ownership of it) is not a priority here. In addition, the main character in this game sexually abuses models, it's not exactly an environment for discussing fairness. Isn't it?

Been a long time since an update...can't wait to post my "kept you waiting" meme when the new update comes out.
In this game, you can choose to not abuse the models without their consent, heck you can rate them without even touching them or talking to them at all and if you think you're being rude, you can just say one of the nice "Hello" variants.
But if you're a naughty boy and consent still matters to you ig, you can attain it by choosing the right dialogue options and asking to "come closer"/touch specific body parts and for her to undress.
I don't care about your overarching argument, but talking about this point specifically. You have free will.

tbf wouldnt this still be considered sexual assault considering the circumstances?

Well aware that it's a piracy site, I think that's been well established by this point in time. Source code and project ownership absolutely are priority - would you be happy if Helius took over this project by force?
False equivalency there buddy.
Abusing characters in this game is optional - and not a requirement. If you choose to do so, that's your call - and well, I couldn't care less.
Personally, I don't think the developer of this game is scamming, as it's just not profitable. If he was releasing updates on this game, he would be able to make more money.

I don't know why I got myself into this whole conversation, obviously I'm dealing with a morally superior entity, I retreat to my lair .

Well no, being able to talk to women is not considered SA, I'm pretty sure. And if it's because of the modeling agency setting, I wouldn't consider it SA anyways. Nobody is forcing the women to work at the agency, ig if you anger the women too much, they leave off their own accord and a "Wait" won't work either.
