It's still 8th of March in my calendar. Who passed the middle of May already?

Dude it is a joke.

No, it isn't and you didn't even get why.

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

Ocean earns a lot of money by not releasing updates for years. Do you think he will abandon such a gold mine or not!?

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.

BOOK CLUB .

The main Steam release of S1 was 10th of May, the changelog can be found in the game itself. >2k renders and a complete overhaul of one of the main scenes should be enough to count as a content update whether you like it or not.
But the last update logged here was just a bugfix and Nami titty and buttslappy restoration on 13th of May.

rework is not an update

rework is not an update

It's not a story update, but it meets the forum rules for an update on game development. There are quite a lot of reworked games that regularly show up in the new updates section that have no 'new' content. As far as the mods are concerned, a dev working on deving is an active dev. The mods don't judge the content of games (except for banned content), that's up to players.

The abandoned tag only lives on this forum, in any regards.

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.

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.
