Until it gets neutered and you can't make anything 'offensive' with it. Like porn.
I'm not exactly sure of the timeframe but I think it's 18+ months of no physical updates is considered abandoned. Awesome that they are doing QA testing but that was only announced within a few days after receiving the abandoned tag here and on a few other sites. Correct me if I am wrong.
We're waiting for this 'small partial tech update' for more than two years now, forget it, I don't know why or how they still got supporters when they've abandoned (or at least it feels like it) the single game they've been working on ¬_¬
Abby is the incredibly forgettable fitness chick, and Jane is the librarian.
I think there's multiple reasons. But mainly that DC's mentality has always been that he wants to work on the game full time but not increase the scope of operation just because people throw copious amounts of money at him.
I agree, the "main" characters are a lot more interesting to me than the side characters, and I'd love for the quests to be more interconnected (and have generally more content but that's another discussion). But they've never promised or aimed for interconnected design, I'm not keeping them on the hook for a design choice that's been that way from the start. I'd rather have it differently but they go with isolated quests, which is fine.
I mean, there's still a difference between that and Unteralterbach. Anybody who puts that game on a top 10 list has to be shitposting - at least one would hope so...My guy we're playing a game that's basically in a highschool conveniently called college to abide by patreons standards lol
no one outside of this website is gonna buy the "A guy who goes to a college that looks like a highschool who lives with his landlord who's clearly his mom"
Odd given the recode is entering release testing as of April 30th on their Patreon...
We will all believe it when we see it.
I have no memory of them for the life of me. But what we're really talking about here is just compelling writing, which an interconnected design would be a function of, and I don't think that needs to be explicitly promised from the start. If it hasn't happened so far, that just means it's still an unexplored avenue for them to tap into.
It is a pretty good game, especially when it comes to the actual shitposting. Not to mention, it isn't only finished, but it was done by a single person and even before STS was a thing.
A small footnote tho: Just because F95 says it's abandoned, doesn't mean it actually is
