Putting my personal feelings about developers who do practically nothing for multiple years and whether or not this will ever be finished aside, I'd say most people keep coming back because there are very few, if any, other games that have such varied teratophilia-centric games out there. It makes it stand out in your memory
Exactly. This game is part of a really unique genre and one of the best of it's kind. But even if it wasn't it would be stuck on the memory of anyone who liked it, what other options are there to fill the gap? How many decent teratophilia games were created in this 7 years? And it's not like the dev died or went missing for good so ofc people who frequent this site will sometimes visit this thread again

Exactly. Hell, I think he even commented on this thread in the past year saying he plans on finishing it. Whether he actually will is another matter entirely, but it confirms he's still around.

This is correct, there are plenty of games on this very website. That have decent writing and art to choose from, if that was all. But we who seek the path of the monster girl, and I mean true monster girl. Not folks doing cosplay and/or some palatte changes. Have very little to stroke the goat to compared. So we hold close what we have. And hope the wait eventually pans out.

Not even true monshter girl, just the furries with actual bestial traits (anatomical, don't confuse with "bestiality" pls) like true digitigrade skeleton and muscle, or fantasy races that are not, like you said, just doing cosplay with rubber ears and color swaps. Weirdly lanky muscle-y elves and actually reptilian lizards from Divinity: OS2 are unpopular even though the game itself is a beloved darling. Something like charr from Guild Wars, or original creatures like sergals, they're not that popular in their full "canonical" form. And that's pretty mild stuff compared to something like our water eel-snake waifu Naigad or a hivemind colony of stupid sexy worms...

There's an impossibly strong bias towards big tiddy cosplay girls. Adding tits is mandatory to make money in porn, everything has to be up to "better than a real girl" standards. Even furries really just want a normal girl with extra parts :sneaky:
So yeah,projects like Teraurge are a breath of creativity. Even if you don't wank to it you can appreciate it's sheer weird. It's unique.

You should try to understand the author too. When you start working on something, you feel inspired, you want to share your project with others, and you release a demo that everyone likes. But then, more important things and problems in life come up, and each day you sink deeper into them. You no longer have enough time for your little hobby, and those who liked your game start circling around like sharks, demanding more. It’s depressing, and you work on your project less and less. You don’t want to abandon it, but you also don’t want to rush something half-heartedly. Six years have passed, but we don’t know what was happening in the author’s life during that time. Just as we don’t know whether he might have been working on his game little by little, and the next version is almost ready for release. According to him, he hasn’t abandoned his game, and I’m inclined to believe him. Yeah, it sucks that it hasn’t progressed in all this time, but it’s still better than if he had truly given up on it.

I completely understand that life sometimes throws unexpected shit at you that you may need to prioritize or IRL stuff like work gets in the way of hobbies, I do. My primary issue, and I feel this way about many other devs, is profiting off of something that is both in an incomplete state and has gone several years without any substantial updates, like Summertime Saga has been doing forever now.

Well, in the case of this unfinished project, I can’t say author is deliberately profiting from it. As far as I know, he occasionally stream content related to his game’s universe. Besides, no one’s forcing anyone to donate; it’s purely voluntary.

What's Unique about Teraurge is it's not "Monster Girl" / Furry / Anthropomorphic Creatures.
It's True Teratophilia (something really alien to known species) with Very Good Quality Designs that makes them sexually attractive.

That's why this thread is till active when the game itself is dead for 6 years: We don't really have any Teratophilia / Alien game on par of the quality and designs.
Not Monster girls / Furries / Anthropomorphic Creature.
Also the reason why we don't really get any this type of game: It's not something an average Joe can create.
