This game is one of the best game I've played but it updates super slow. I really like the mafia story of it, it's hard to find games with similar concept

Well, that is the big question: is he still working on it???
Most likely...the dude has always put out updates on his Patreon veeeeery infrequently. Pretty sure this game has gotten the abandoned tag a few times due to how rarely he talks about it. When the update is ready or near ready he talks about it, it isnt ideal but it's whatever.

i think he does. there's steam release and the lore articles. Why wouldn't he want a Season 2 steam release and additional income.
The question for me is whether he's working on this full time (regular working hours), or in his spare time like the majority of devs

i prefer quicker updates if it's full time tbh. But to be fair to hopes, DPC release update once a year even though he's full time4
DPC is a shitty comparison, his updates have the size (or bigger) like fully completed other avns.

A good game from a lazy developer, he promised to work on the game full time after the release on Steam, and then disappeared forever
So the end of time is here since this is forever huh? :FacePalm:

How do you know that he is NOT working on it just because we haven't heard from him for a while? Know something the rest of us doesn't (regarding Hopes)?

like i played the update before the steam release several years ago and it has the exact same content as the new version. Like did the dev even do anything significant at all on this in the past several years? i just treat this game as abandoned af. I feel sorry for the people buying it on steam.

Of course, nobody knows anything, which is part of the problem. Personally, if I had to bet, I think Hopes is still working on the game, but just at a slower and slower pace, until basically the fans will get 5 to 10 minutes of gameplay every 2 years. But, I wish he would have abandoned all the minigame parts, both before and after the text based mini-game shift, and just make this a straight KN.

Not sure if that would make anything any faster as far as updates go, but at least focus on what people care about. Plus, the mini games make the game worse in every way, and doesn't fit at all in the story. It's lazy, because he got someone else to do that part, just as filler to the lack of content is less obvious.

Honestly I just want to see the very next bits of the story and hope we get some answers about Gracie's status and if it gets abandoned or not after that it is what it is

Just getting funnier and funnier.....
But to some point I can understand it. Hope post nothing since over since 29th of May this year on Patreon. Even his most recent post on Discord is from 22th July - if that hasn't change.

He had almost 900 subscribers in April 2021 and now he have a little bit over 400. I don't know what he earns through Steam, but assuming that this also is declining then his goal for being full time dev, may be proven very difficulty to maintain.

I do hope, he is working on the game, but I have no proof of that - sure, I also have no proof of the contrary, yet I begin to think that this game may never be finished.
