That's exactly what am i doing right now. I never play this game since forever and i will stay doing so until the tech update drop so i can feel the new game experience.I actually skipped the last 2-3 updates in anticipation for the tech update. When it finally hits, it'll feel like a fresh game with new content for me
Nope. They both had and still have zilch in terms of sex scenes. Story-wise, Annie should have more since the MC runs into her from time to time at school. iirc Annie had to strip down to her undies in the principal's office, though I could be misremembering.
From Game Uploading RulesNot strictly true:
I literally just addressed this in the post above yours. Also, it doesn't matter if any game is marked as abandoned because it is removed should an update be released. It's an arbitrary label used by F95 to allow people on here to either:
those rules need changing if you can just avoid being labeled "abandoned" by posting a one sentence message on patreon every 2 months like "still working on it", at least if the purpose of this tag is to protect new potential donators from wasting their money. if the purpose isn't to protect donators but something else i guess it doesn't matter.
You are too sensible and goal-oriented. Many people get lost in the details
At this point is no more a matter of trolling or white-knighting a dev, abandoned or not, but the lack of credibility. He's not trustworthy and shares wallpapers every now and then, backgrounds that he already did most probably in the past and the monthly alleged tasks is just a very long list that says nothing regards the previous 2 years. On discord I see also their mods and coders wasting time over bs and mocking those who just ask details or reasons regards the prolonged delay.
I must admit, I did not remember the 18 months exception as I read it long ago. But either way, given the guy actively streams his work and updates regularly, my eyebrows went up after reading people seriously calling for abandoned tag on this game and repeatedly. I think it's to much for to ask for in this particular case.
I agree that his numbers have dipped from their peak - but notice that the numbers really aren't off much. Also, at the beginning of every month, numbers drop for all creators on Patreon (both subscriber and earnings) and then grow throughout the month because of the way that Patreon handles subscription renewals. Another interesting thing is that over the course of the past 4 months, it appears that his subscriber numbers are showing a little bounce back.
Ironic, since the rules state that a game can still be marked abandoned if there hasn't been an update in 18 months, even if they communicate.
That's pretty much my mentality as well, the benefits we get out of the tech-update are nowhere near enough to justify this long of a wait, and I doubt the developers will be way more efficient, but we will still get a better experience while development will be more intuitive and smooth. If all goes according to plan of course, maybe they're fucking shit up.
It's not F95Zone's job to protect people from spending money on something. You should be completely capable of doing a bit of research on what you're going to donate to. The abandoned tag is solely there for informative reasons, just like a Renpy tag.
You have a different definition of untrustworthy than me. Apart from the tech-update taking way longer than DC said it would, he's pretty much always followed through on what he says and is one of the most transparent devs out there.
Why would anybody on a board that's providing pirated content for free care about donors?
He's able to do that because he's streaming his work for 1 to 2 hours four to five days a week. If you don't think that's making a difference, that's up to you.
Yeah if it was up to people here, pretty much every game would get the abadoned tag after 2 months without an update.
