I think it's about that time again where I ask if the art pack got updated at all? I'm not in the discord (and don't want to be) so I'm out of any possible loop on that

As far as i can tell, it seems everything was abandoned, the last update on the blog is form 2023: "V3 will come out whether you like it or not." That aged well.

Honestly even if the update is out i woulnd't even be excited about it, you would say why? well it woulnd't be worth the wait even if it was quite sizeable because we would need to wait 6 more years for the next one lol.
I know im being a doomer but its the literall truth we will never see the other parts of the maps or more monsters unfortunately, man such wasted potential i love this game so much but the flame of hope has long been extinguished..

ok this think like Kenshi game by Lo-fi Games, "Work alone, Died alone" my character quotes dead on slaver try to escape
We're probably still a few years out from anything concrete beyond his word
I'd honestly throw money at him if he only showed updates of anykind

Man, I really need to vent here. I'll try to stay away from the obvious like "this game is unique" or "what a waste," but I can't promise anything. I think the "problem" (for those who loved this game) is much bigger than it seems.
This game nails everything it sets out to do: exploration, feral content, characters, strangeness, etc. The world feels alive and immersive. I believe everyone who played had a unique and memorable experience, and the same goes for me.
I've been here since the very beginning, more than five years ago. It was by playing this game that I truly discovered this passion for teratophilia and feral themes. However, what was truly memorable was the character Vuisul. I found her randomly, talked to her, discovered more about her story, and we had "shenanigans." I remember she sparked very strong feelings in me with those dialogues about loneliness. I specifically remember the choice you have when you sleep with her to touch her paw—I became completely immersed in her story and situation. I remember immediately thinking, "I have to help her and have her as my wife," "there must be some kind of antidote, perhaps in the neighboring map," "I will surely find it and come back to talk to her."
After a few hours or days, I discovered there was nothing in-game yet to save her; her story didn't have a continuation yet, the supposed neighboring map wasn't accessible yet, etc. However, I was already hooked. It was the most unique experience and certainly one of the best I've ever had, and from then on, I became a huge fan.
Many were hoping for an update or minimal news. Just last year, we even had some leaks from a member of this forum about Teraurge, and even though it was already 4 or 5 years old (at that time), it completely reignited my flame. In fact, it never went out; I always followed the thread.
I won't discuss whether the update will come or if it's real. To me, that's not the point. As I said, there is a gigantic problem for fans, and it's not "just" the delay.
The author has been on a "hiatus" (let's put it that way) for six years. The question is: Does the author of Teraurge still exist? Let's assume they really still work on the game, as they say, and do it as a hobby, and that the game will eventually be updated. But is the author still the same person? Do the stories from six years ago still exist? Do they still consider them? Do they still intend to finish them? If the update comes out one day (and I hope it does), when I meet Vuisul again and she has a continuation of her story, will it be an epic reunion, or will I feel a complete disconnection? To be honest, I think the character will simply be different.
And what about the game in general? As I said, it gets everything right: RPG, smut, romance. Will it stay that way? Or will the "essence" have been lost along with the time?
I'll be honest: I wouldn't doubt that the author of Teraurge is taking so long to update the game out of pure "fear," you know? They created something unique that we don't even have in other games of other genres. A colossal insecurity wouldn't be unthinkable. (Btw, this is pure speculation from my head, lol.)
Maybe I wish Teraurge had never existed in the first place. Never having played this game and never having fallen in love with this work would be a loss, but it would be less painful than the project's current state. For some reason, it's in an infinite hiatus, but even if it gets updated, it might have become something completely different. Even if it is released with the same standard of quality, maybe we will never see the "ending" of characters we love so much. I can't put into words how sad that is.
I am genuinely depressed after reaching this conclusion. It was said several times: "the game will be released when it's ready" (or something like that). If we were to blindly believe that, the game would come out at some point, but that doesn't mean much now.
As a matter of curiosity, I am 24 years old. That means one-quarter of my life has been spent waiting for this game.
This doesn't mean my expectations have to be met or anything like that. I'm also not here for something like "what an injustice, I'm so sad." I think the only thing I'd really like is transparency from the author, you know? At least like it was back when the blog was updated. Tell me what is happening, what your plans are for the future, etc.
If I'm not mistaken, at some point, the author said money was a problem, something like: "if the value reaches X, I'll quit my job and focus on the game" (I might be confusing and merging information). But the point is: create a Patreon or a specific subscription for the game, where there won't be excuses like "it's for my art and streams." Run polls, I don't know. At this point, I'm just sad. This game is basically a piece of my life. It's dying or maybe it's already dead, and I don't even know why.

You know, On top of Creativity, this is a Passion Porn project.
What's they all have in common? They all die easily, especially as you grow older.
A passion porn game goes on "hiatus" for 6 years? I don't think any dev would still have it in them, even if they wish to return.
If Meandraco doesn't wanna carry the baggage from his audiences of "being transparent", there's nothing you can do. He doesn't have the "obligation" to be transparent, he doesn't owe you anything.
Not sure why so many ppl here still cling to the dev, either coping for "new update anytime now", or hating him for taking money without delivering.
As sad as it feels, there'll be many loses you have to deal with, this is just one of them.
BTW, Patreon monthly updates and Pay to win polls kill Game artistic integrity.

That's what I'm saying, it's basically abandoned, I don't wait for the update anymore, I still have it saved just in case but like you said is not the first or last time that a porn game has simply been abandoned, nor will it be the last. These are not large dev teams, these are indie most of the time single devs.
Does anyone have a guide for the game? I know it's abandoned and all, but has anyone made it past the lake?
