("The next update, the long-awaited update, will be v1.0 of The Good Son. The game will be COMPLETE. The plot will conclude. The epilogue will play out. It will be finished!") The Last & Ending update for "The Good Son" (+/- hotfixes)
I have been playing this game from the Start. I have taken some breaks away from it...
I will miss it when it is Done and look forward to Lobsterman's next project.

The developer vowed to release the final update of the game in September 2024.
I waited patiently for the promised update and on August 30th my computer suddenly burned down.
For two months, I envied all those who have a working computer and who, as I imagined, were playing the final of this game.
And what happened in the end ???
Strangely enough, we were once again brutally and cynically fucked.

Can you tell me where the Dev "vowed" to release the update in September?

No I understand what you said. Im saying that the Dev never promised to release the Update in September.
Here is the quote from his latest post: "[...] but when is the update coming out? I'm not sure. I think before the 2 year anniversary (September 2024), but deadlines and me are like oil and water. I'm working on it."
It's coming along. No problem with it being marked as abandoned since it's been so long since the last update. I'm working on it when I can. Life is just insanely busy right now (and I think will be for the next couple of decades, maybe). Someday that 'inactive' marker will be swapped to 'complete,' and I will be a happy man on that day.

I'm actually almost done
Hey everyone. Not too much progress in the last few months so did not make any updates, but slow progress is better than no progress. And over so many months, slow progress adds up.
I see The Good Son has been marked inactive over on F95Zone. That's fair - it has been rather inactive for about two years. I'm reminded of mountains, when I think about the glacial pace of this update (or maybe I'm reminded of glaciers...). Mountains look static from our perspective, but on a geological time frame they rise and fall like waves. You just need the right frame of reference.
I don't say this to make myself sound impressive and grand and big like a mountain. It's actually a funny insult to myself to say I move at the pace of solid, stationary rock.
Of course, I didn't always. Updates used to come every four months or so. What's going on?
The answer is simple - I have learned that one should finish writing erotica, and then start a family. My entire life, my days, my time to myself - it's all been totally flipped around with the entrance of my son into the world about eighteen months ago. The time to sit down for three hours or more and find useful pornographic videos and pictures and write scenes - it hardly exists, anymore. There have been full months, a full set of thirty days, where I couldn't even find a moment to open up Twine to put a letter, a single character of writing, into the game. It's that crazy.
I'm not trying to make excuses, just offering explanations. I assure you, I'm not 'laughing my way to the bank' and eating up subscriptions while twirling my moustache. I feel genuinely awful about the length of time the final update is taking. I have already recommended anyone who might feel the slightest bit of upset or impatience to end their subscriptions. The game will come out eventually and then, whether you've subscribed or not, you'll have it and you can finally see the conclusion and epilogue to Amy Finch (the default name for the Main Character), Susan, Todd, Nazarov, Olivia, Cade, Chad, Becky, Rachel, Carlos, Lexi, Heather... the list goes on. It's going to happen. I promise you it will.
It's just a matter of time.
But please do take note of the title of this long-overdue update. I'm actually almost done. Piece by piece, bit by bit, progress has been made. I just have one more Lexi wrap-up scene. A disloyal Susan scene. Half the climax (that's the big piece), and the epilogues (they'll be a bit shorter and sweeter than first anticipated, but you'll learn what happened to everyone based on your choices).
I can't give a deadline because I can't know when I'll have time to work on the game. If I could predictably put in 3 hours a week, maybe I'd be done in 8 weeks. But honestly, I don't know when that will happen. I do have the day off and free tomorrow, so I'm going to lock myself in my office and pump out scenes. Hopefully I get another day like that before too long.
Again, not a moustache twirling subscription-gobbling villain, just a very busy employee, husband, and father who does not have the same life he did when he started this game in 2020.
Whether you've ended your subscriptions or not, you're all awesome. You're going to get the final update. It'll be fun, and hot, and pretty loaded with content (I mean, 2 years worth of writing, even with very low productivity, is still something!). Until then, keep playing other awesome games in the genre. And one day I'll surprise you with the finished product.

It looks like September 2025 wasn't a typo after all.
Take it with a grain of salt. F95 doesn't mark games abandoned without reason. The ones that get resurrected are surely under 5%.
I love posts like this that treat the f95 admin team like they're psychic - the dev literally just came back with a plausible explanation for the extended absence, and an equally plausible estimation of the time remaining (i.e. a while yet).
The game absolutely should be marked as abandoned based on the mods' rules and skepticism is always a viable, if not outright recommended, lens. I just find this kind of attitude funny.

It really depends on how you define the word "abandoned". On this site it literally just means 2 Years with no game update.
In my opinion it isnt abandoned, the Dev is still active and replying to topics. We cant know if hes actually working on it, although I strongly do.
But the Admins obviously can do whatever they want on their own site, but I dont have to agree with it.
Someone reported this game as abandoned, the mods only added the tag FYI. So don't go blame them for someone elses doing.
