Illusion rebranded as Illgames with Honeycome Come Come Party so technically they are still around and Koikatsu is still being sold on Steam. It might be possible to license their assets, but that would probably require going to Japan and negotiating with them and I've never heard of anyone making the attempt.
You would probably feel different if you created something and people went out and made money with it without you getting anything in return.
Well, I meant that if they don't exist, but the rights are preserved and there's nothing you can do about it, but the above comment clarified the situation.
Nah stomside would have had WAY more variations/paths and routes than summer scent, its not even a comparison. The scummer scent dev is just the slowest dev ever seen, he creates like 10-20 renders a month lol, i think its the worst case of being a perfectionist.
Fair enough since I dropped SS ages ago due to the abysmal development period and the only thing I remember vividly is the overwhelming "walkthrough", but you are right, in terms of route variation AND combination of different LIs' different routes, Stormside really takes the stage. I just hope that if the game by some miracle gets revived, the dev should just dial down the variations and instead focus on the actual plot progression and relationship buildup.Nah stomside would have had WAY more variations/paths and routes than summer scent, its not even a comparison.

While the dev here, we have not clue but its not really unlikely that he got overwhelmed with all the variations already, couple that with all the guys who predicted that and are now "Told you", i can see why he went down under
I agree, I think the best thing Atemsiel could do if he ever reappears is look at what he has set up and seriously consider how to either reduce the amount of routes he has planned or at the very least reduce the variations between the routes themselves so he doesn't go burn out/go insane. Then again it looks like that advice is a little too late.
It's only the good games that get abandoned, never the shoverlware and cash grabs
still hope, but i am expecting anything...i think he have to work to get his patreon numbers back up
stray incubus has new devs working on it doesn't it?
it does, seems like they're still finding their footing tho, last I heard they had to switch out renderers cus the original left for personal reasons. Not sure if they've dropped an update yet or not either, will have to check on that.
Yeah, but this might not mean anything. Working with the story of someone else without possibly knowing how to continue might not work at all. Or maybe only for one or two Updates.
Eh, I think it is more of a case that you care about the good games being abandoned and not so much about the bad ones. They get abandoned as well. Stray Incubus was a shock for me and it made me actually sad. This did not happen with Stormside, but mainly because of two reason:
I get why some folks would immediately jump to "grifter", but Atem suddenly dropping contact with everybody out of nowhere does seem pretty worrisome
