Almost an year without an update.....So it should be getting an abandoned tag after a few more months if dev doesn't plan on updating here anymore right?
Why are people so obsessed with games getting the abandoned tag? It seems like every game around here after 6 months gets every 5th post asking when the game will be marked abandoned. It's very simple:
1) Three months radio silence on Patreon, Discord, Here, etc
or
2) 18 months of no update
or
3) Dev states that it is abandoned.
There is some discretion, (see Heavy Five), where the rules are bent for a favored dev, but generally these are the rules around here.
Ultimately, why does it matter? If the dev is working on the game, as we all know that Hopes is, at his own pace, an Abandoned tag here won't make the release go any faster. Or, two, if the dev is not working on the game at all and just faking out his fans with the occasional screen-shot, getting marked abandoned won't cause him to suddenly release when there is nothing to release.
Anyway, this is the wrong thread to discuss a game being abandoned. It just released on Steam for big bucks, I am sure.
