VN Ren'Py Summer's Gone [S1 Steam + DLC] [Oceanlab]

[ItsNotUs]

He's asking when the forum's policy gives it the Abandoned tag. Which I think is...14 months? I can't remember. Might be way off. Nothing to do with what devs do or don't do.

Lol
No! he didn't ask about that - he asked how far VN's (SG and WIAB) will GO!
And not how long on the forum time before vn gets labeled abandoned - read more carefully!

18 months.

rework is not an update

A completely rewritten part of a story with over 2000 renders no one has seen nor read before is not an update only in your tiny self centered world that the forum nor game supporters don't give a fuck about.

just wondering how long these visual novels go before they are deemed abandoned?

The developer of "White Cube" released updates every 3-4 months. This year there was a delay of a couple of months and the game immediately received the "Abandoned" tag.

It would be better if no one saw or read this rework.

From the uploading rules:

Abandoned: used in the following cases:

• The developer states that the development has been permanently suspended.
• After 3 months of inactivity from the developer's public creator/crowdfunding accounts (Patreon, SS, etc), we will resolve special circumstances or scenarios on a case-by-case basis (no creator accounts, creators developing for free, Patreon accounts under review/ban).
• No game update has been released for an abnormally long period of time (>18 months).
• Game threads that are marked On-hold for over 6 months with no game update.
• Note: this prefix is only removed upon the release of a new update for purchase/download.

Ocean hasn't been inactive on his accounts (fortnightly devlogs are activity), so it's 18 months from the last update, which the site registered, so for SG it's November before it would apply (thread was updated with the steam release).

Other devs go radio silent between releases, and get the abandoned tag between releases, simply because there's no sign of public life. Once a release is uploaded, back to normal here.

Pretty disappointed that story hasn't progressed in so long.....Like why so much rework when you haven't even fully build the story yet?

What accounts are you talking about? Ocean doesn't have an account on this site and doesn't appear here at all, and the logs are copied by fans from Discord.

Like you're really interested in the answer.

Ocean's patreon, SS and discord accounts. Did you fully read my post? I quoted the rules of this site in case people didn't know. Here it is again:
