I just met the head of the Hammerfall tribe (dad of the huntress). Where do I go next, after leaving the tribe area and separating from the huntress?

Not gonna lie but that is the case, the only reason why I still hold out for Zion is that I know that he IS working on SC. That said it's pretty much apparent that better time and product management is needed. Devs with longer release cycles should aim for 3-4 months, 5 months tops or risk abandoning the game. I don't see this game as deserving the abandoned tag (saw recently someone argue for an "in-limbo" tag for works that are in dev hell, etc). At the same time I don't dispute is at 3 months of ratio silence or a 1 year of no release while on the phone will warrant it. I agree that WS and EC should have been games that came after chapter 5 was done but while in the middle of making a game is risky during development.
Look dude, whatever his intentions are, there could have been a 4.1, 4.2 release fixing all the bugs from chapter 4 or add all succubus to the gallery. It's not like he would have redo this work in chapter 5. It just shows his true intentions was to milk his patreons as much as he could.

Just because I am willing to give a bit of extra leeway does not mean it's limitless, You can only stretch the goodwill and patience of the fans so far. In fact Zion was working on reworking the lore as well among other stuff so for you to say he has been milking his Patreon is a bit off the mark. if you made your argument less out of being butthurt over the lack of updates and more to warn people about a grifting dev it have had far more merit.
My favorite succbus is desdemona i hope she kinda remind mind of Kenpachi, unlike him she's evil cuz she was born as a succbus but i think her personality is much more complex. She seem to only enjoy killing the strong while sparing the weak not by kindess, but to her desire to become the strongest. I'm in love with her. I hope she gets more content . (Sorry for my bad english)

Okey... Maybe it explain why take so long to develop Ch.5. The game hasn't been abandoned, just a "big project" that needs years to complete. People who complain "it take so long" are because they haven't made a game in RPG Maker MZ so they don't understand it may take 5-10 years to make a RPG game. Counting from the year SC released, 2021, 2 years are actually not enough to develop a full RPG game.
I know another author,

, taking half and three years, from 2018 to 2021, to make one game

, with 267 CGs inside all drawn by himself, a few characters have L2D, unique enemys on the road with lots of different conversations. However, it still depends on whether the final product quality is similar in order to refer to it, since Zion canceled the animations, all the enemy on the roads are demon flowers, But made a big background story and settings, everyone talking about it happily in Discord, a really good enviroment there but in F95 are all complainations, not a creator can stand it. And, during the development,

keep sending out the DEMO to the supporters. What everyone got in Discord "important news" are "day xxx will have something big" "This is a CG of XXX" "I finish the map XXX" "XXX artist join our XXX" "I finish writing XXX" "Kain have new XXX". "New project". I don't see a DEMO or video of CH.5 gameplay during these years(Maybe just I missed it, or higher patreon supporters can have something other people don't know).Not abandoned, the game is still under development, but Just wish it's not going to be another "The Day Before". That Really scare people bro. Be patient.
I am more interesting in their annual project, it focus on one succubus grow from tiny girl to tall-busty mama.

Stop simping, boy it's just using rpg maker drag and drop assets everywhere hes not creating a game engine, 90% of the work is from commission of various artists at this point depends on how much Zion is paying them. About music he just grabs free non-copyright ambient music, he could have finished the succubus covenant ch.5 or whatever a long time long but he decides to milk the popularity and make side projects.

These defenders of game devs are an epidemic and there's no cure for it. Some people are just meant to lose all their money. They subcribe to monthly patreon feed and then the dev gets distracted with side projects and extend the game for the longest time possible. It is their monthly income this is their business model and it works because there are people like you that are overly optimistic with disposable income, probably living the good life in his 3rd world country with all that patreon money selling hopium while you copium. Keep huffing and puffing.

Wait, you guys think I am defending? Think bro, think. I am just tired after seeing what dev said. Don't rush like a Blind Cow.
So.. in the end... it's abandoned?
No.
Considering the dev's track record, he's still working on it but likely got distracted by something.
Like, there's this game, the Warlock Saga, that one other game, some short comics, etc. The guy has a problem in keeping himself focused on one task at a time.
2 years of development for a few hours of gameplay...
This guy just can't focus on one project, so he spent some time on making side games. Because of that everyone waiting for ch5 needs to wait even longer. Let's be real, ch5 should be out there already, but we are still waiting ;/

Zion is the best drama queen also the best director also the best scripter also the best scammer.
Rest like extra more than 6 months for burn out from relearning the lore, but still act like no enough. He gonna get burn out again for relearning the next game after ch5. Then repeat the same script. XD That is the spoiler and the future
Dude...he uses an editor with already existing assets/presets whatsoever. Zion is a scammer. The game should be already released and nothing else.

I ain't gonna defend Zion because it's obvious that he should have been faster and more consistent in releasing his content, but looking at people here losing their minds over how long it has taken him doesn't do y'all any favors. The sheer obsessiveness and bitching over the game really say more about all the complainers than it does about Zion. Again I am not defending him and if he doesn't release chapter 5 by the end of the year he is gonna have to answer to fans and followers that have more sense and self-respect, but people here really just have to act like animals just because a game that they obsess about isn't being released in time. If your favorite creator was or decided to become a grifter, tough, move on and follow another who is consistent.

Yes that's what I mean, that's why I mention another author, who make a huge RPG game in half and three years with all CG drawn and other things by himself! I am tired of what dev said! Why everyone don't understand or read the whole words I wrote? Don't just look "this is not abandoned" this line bro......

I recently saw a post where he mentioned that part 5 would probably be released this Christmas.
I have hope that it will be.
