Last update was mid September of LAST year
They're talking about Patreon posts concerning the game status, not game updates. The F95 rule is basically, 6 months without word from the dev gets it the abandoned tag. It hasn't quite been that much yet, but the dev went straight from fairly good communication to absolute radio silence, so even at only 4 months the prevailing opinion is that the game is abandoned.

It's also a year and a half no updates regardless of Patreon posts (because of devs who abused it by only posting stupid shit like pictures without updating) - which would be March.

So Wilson has 2-3 months, tops, before the tag is officially applied.

I really hope he resurrects this game before that happens. But I do not expect he will. I will be sad but not surprised to see the tag when the day comes. And I will pour one out to a great game that could have been.

To think that we will never see sweet Mary and her beautiful smile again...:cry:
Kinda cruel actually when developers get you attached to characters and the story, then end up abandoning the game without a word. Oh well time to unwatch this one, what a shame...

Tell me about it. I'm still mad about Hot Sand of Antartica being abandoned and never getting more content with the twins.

It's actually way earlier, after 3 months without communication of the dev:

Because some posters were real posters and they're sure steam won't accept them, so they have to spend 4 hours for each and every one of the 3000 renders they have to redo? Because steam will absolutely catapult them to the riches they are seeking?

Followed by 4 months and counting of complete radio silence despite there being 2 (at least?) devs working on this.

That's honestly pathetic, with quite possibly the dumbest reason to hold up development for over a year. This is a good use-case for AI, to replace posters in images - but even if you hate that idea, photoshop has been a thing for a long time now. This is something that should take 4 hours TOTAL, not 4 hours 3000 times.

Even if they manage to finish those re-renders, the fact they've done jack shit for over a year, with weak update(s) prior to that, and been completely useless wrt communication... it's not exactly something that inspires confidence.

This is a dog-ate-my-homework tier excuse.

Usually trying to make it for Steam ruins it.
Didn't follow this thread for a while except posting some posts.
Was it his goal to go steam,do you have a link? thx
I'm not defending him,multiple devs tried to make it big with Steam,only to get problems after problems like licenses for songs used etc. .

Mhhhm couldn't find an og source so far. :unsure:
From the April 13 Patreon post:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
As of July 2, they were apparently:
"sitting at about 1126 of the roughly 3000 images we need to redo. I'm about halfway through the update, which will be about 850 images or so."

He also mentioned that the recent tariffs had made his day job hell, so that's also eating time and energy.

You call yourself a pirate? SHAME should haunt you every night :D
is a pirate site exclusive for Patreon stuff ;)
I actually don't - I usually support AVNs I play. I'm mainly here for the database, forums, and mods, since there's not many good alternatives in the AVN space.

And for memes, of course. :p
