kinda weird rules to tag a game abandoned when the DEV makes reports on a regular basis. *shrugs*

There are other games where the DEv basically is radio silent and the game dont get updates and no abandoned tag... double standards all the way, on patreon and f95 too i guess.

So if he were to keep publishing dev reports twice a month for the next 5 years without actually releasing an update the tag still wouldn't be warranted? How about 10 years? By that logic he could do it for the rest of his life and this title would still be considered in development here on F95.

Everyone has their own opinion on when the abandoned tag should be added but that's shitty logic. Even if an update is coming next year, I'd argue this tag comes late. It's been a year and a half since the last update was released. And keep in mind that last update did not progress the story in any way, it only had a reworked scene. So technically you could argue it's been well over 2 years without an actual update.

Well apparently we are living among immortals with no sense of time and how valuable it is
I see the tag as a warning to let people know that if they choose to play, they’re fine with the game or story having no conclusion.

That really goes with any game that is still in development without saying.

No, some of us actually don't care about the conclusion if the road there is what is enjoyable enough or possibly, more.
And on the contrary to your speculation, some of us have every hour counted and filled with our jobs and everyday chores, with little time to spend playing these little games and especially, worrying about their development progress.

Now I have to go and get busy with those chores again, bye.

Well, if I’m betting on one to get finished, I know where to put my money. a 50\50 % chance is better than 1%

Hot take, rule about abandoned status due to long waiting is peak braindead administration. Just rules for rules, no life improvement whatsoever. Dev should be contacted about such a stuff and only when game is truly abandoned by developer, put such a status in here. Otherwise it's pointless.

I would not say its pointless, if at least 20~30% of all the usual whiners and haters ignore the thread and forget about the game, its already a big WIN.

Hm. A bit surprised to see the novel now as abondoned. Yes, it is quite some time, but there is constant development updates. And if that novel qualifies for abandoned, then the second one of the same creator should see the same fate. So I still have hope to see season 2 for both of them.

No because the other game was updated a few months ago

 

[Envy*]

I've always found this tag useless. There are games that haven't been updated in years and still haven't been marked as “abandoned.”

Its F95 rules, they don't care if a creator made any updates on Patreon or Discord or whatever, if OP post hasn't been updated in a while in this thread then it can get the abandoned tag after a while. This doesn't necessarily mean the game is actually abandoned. This happens quite often with games that have a release once a year or more.

I can't believe there's been like 10 pages of discourse about an 'abandoned' tag that doesn't actually mean anything lmao

There's nothing else to talk about at this point

Absolutely deserved. Fanboys are coping hard.
