I understand where you are coming from, and you are pretty much spot on here. My post wasn't meant as a defense of any particular dev, including this one. It just bothers me that most people seem to always think that the quarantine automatically means faster game development, when in many cases it's the opposite.
Sorry to disappoint you, but he hasn't charge me at least since January. So why should I leave him if it didn't cost me anything?
Oh I know, never said he was still charging people...I was referring to the sheer popularity and loyalty the fans of this game have/had. He had a really great thing going at the time, and just disappeared, without as much as a thank you or goodbye. Anyway, hope a Dev will pick up the story where it was left off one of these days
I think, the reason for this is we all hope that the game will be continued especially if it doesn't cost anything.Oh I know, never said he was still charging people...I was referring to the sheer popularity and loyalty the fans of this game have/had.

I was shocked to recently learn rendering a single image can take HOURS. I can't even fathom it. I wanna make a game myself but i thnk it's gonna have to wait some years for the technology to get stronger. I dont have that commitment or patience level.
Actually i would take your opinion valid and completely destroy my eight words of opinion if the dev wouldn't stop the payment a year later and have all the money in the idk 9-10 months with all his patreons believe his words of "im develop the game believe me" just to give him money for a death game
Yeah, it can be quite a demanding process, that's for sure.
As c3p0 already pointed out multiple times already, the dev here isn't charging his patrons any money right now and hasn't done so since last year. They are losing nothing while waiting for him to release the game. Also, as I already explained earlier, my post is not about defending this developer or any other developer. It's about you assuming that you know exactly how the quarantine affects people, when you don't know anything about them or their situation.
That maybe true you can't put them in a basket with a name like loads of time to spend...but at the same time how come there is no update or even talk about the game that he/they are working on ... no talk or or updates to me means that they are not working on the game to began with just trying to do enough to get payed and stop the project later .... seems like alot of game makers are doing that they start a game wait around about 6-8 months and then stop there projects..saying something like not enough money or time to do it... just like with another game I really liked My new life it got to version 2.1 extra and then somehow he says something about doing a remake of the game ... just different story and more things to add at a later date... just finish the game first then make a revamp version don't just stop one and just go with the new game ...stuff like that real makes me mad...I can understand if the my new life game was just to missed up to work on but its not so why do a remake but not finish the first game first and then do the remake/revamp? this game was great but for what ever reason it has not been updated in the last 5 months that I know of...the story was good, places were okay,I had hoped for a more open world game but all in all a very good if not great game....just wish it was finished...
Not saying you are wrong here, but the problems with lacking communication/game updates was a problem adult games developers had LONG before COVID was ever a thing. The speed of game updates/posts from devs seems about the same to me, as it was before covid, so I don't think the quarantine has any positive or negative effect on game development, when looking at the adult games industry overall.
First he stoped charging people for the game... so your complaints are invalid... any complaints regarding other games should be droped in the specific threads, as this is rather dilluting the informations shared so far...
Step 1 I am not complaning about being charged or not
Most people would think with the covid thing going on that the game makers should be able to finish some of there projects not true If you are making any game you have to have a place to work without people buging you about what your doing ... house arrest is basicly what we have as the covid virus gets around the people stay home if you have kids you know you can't work on a game with them home ....Now those people that live alone or are single don't have that problems and should be working on there projects....as far as adult games go only the single or the people that are alone have the time to do any thing
Reasons for higher game size is normally higher quality for renders... also an option for an early remake.
Or at minimum have a seperated workplace and a significant other that is supportive of their Partners as this "job" is currently the only ensured income most of them have... which admitedly is unlikely to be the case for the majority
Have you statistic or is it your own viewpoint? Also in regard to what? Here we see 90% of games that are in development and some of them get abandoned. This happens in all development process and isn't that unusual at all, only different most time we only see the finished ones.
Sure, code framework is one importent pillor for all software project. It can help you greatly if it's done well and can be a pain in the ass if it isn't.
A lot of reason to remake a game from scratch. Unhappy with the story, art or code framework or skill improverment over the progress and simple want to redo early work to be on same level.
Some do, some do it not. Some have great ideas and lack the skill, some have the skill and even then you need time for it. Some simply listen to this site and adjust their game for it.
Often the reamp has "better" viusal (higher resolution, more/better/longer animation and so forth). Perhaps the dev could shrink the size more (thinking about different file format and settings of them), but to do this right needs planning ahaed and to time to try and setup your workflow. And often decision that help you in the long run are opposed to the ones that helps you in short time.
Looks like an explanation is needed. The "Abandoned" tag was added by the forum mods, as f95zone seems to have a policy for adding this to projects that don't get updated for a signifficant amount of time. The dev never said he is abandoning the project. On the contrary - he said that the project is NOT abandoned, just delayed. Now, whether you believe that or not is entirely up to you... I sure am starting to have doubts.
