Oh ffs.. abandoned..? Ah, comments tell me to cross-fingers, bookmark and forget for a while.
that is because this site has a rather arbitrary rule which is not usually respected by the mods, and is used holding different standards for different devs
the rules says:
Abandoned: The game has been abandoned (confirmed by the dev) or the developer hasn't posted anything related to the game for at least 3 months.
well, LocJaw has posted an announcement less than 3 months ago, so the tag should've been removed... but it hasn't. known devs that milk their patrons abuse this silly rule to continue scaming their contributors by avoiding the abandoned tag despite not working on their games for long periods of time.
then you have devs like LocJaw who evidently don't give two shits about keeping their patreons and even less about communicating their progress because they do it as a hobbie not as a job.
the latter ones, who can't/don't keep up with the 3 month rules are the ones that incorrectly get their games tagged as abandoned and the threads become a constant enquiry about "why is this game dead?" ad infinitum.
so long story short: the game is not abandoned until LocJaw says it is and he doesn't owe any of us to update us every 3 months about his progress. he has never been communicative nor consitent with his updates, that's what we have to deal with.
