And with some people coming out only now (out of woodwork lol) saying "I told ya so it would get abandoned" bla bla, well, the whole Abandoned tag thing on this site is purely that; it's only relevant on this site.
It's a system set by f95zone to just set any games which the devs haven't been active (by either Patreon, discord, other social media, and yes f95zone too lol) for longer than 3 months to be attached with the Abandoned tag.
But this is an f95zone thing only, yet it doesn't necessarily mean it's abandoned.
I've seen other devs who also had gotten Abandoned tag (due to their irl issues etc) come back and put their game development back on track.
And with f95zone's policy, the moderators only remove the tag after the dev releases a new update.
So at this point, yes, it's not good the game's thread had gotten an abandoned tag but it is what it is given it's......the zone lol.
Personally, I'm still in the whole "Gonna wait and see" mode.
One aspect that I definitely do think Hopes needs to correct for the future is his communication.
Cause this approach he's taken of going radio silence I think just hurts the game's growth with its fanbase; and I'm saying this as someone who still loves the game and considers it as one of my favorites.
