If the Dev is going to give up on the project at least rush out some kind of climactic family ending. Sex with the fam and fade to black.
The post pretty much says it all; Flavio is going to publish the HD version of the current release (meaning with the revamped first chapter) and a few mini-games from content we created for the game (i.e. what was going to be the Rogue's bath fantasy) whenever he gets to finish them and he is still looking for someone that may be interested in taking over the project so there may still be some hope.From Patreon:
A TMS update and some bad news
While the production of our latest update for TMS is approaching the halfway point, unfortunately, this comes with some fairly bad news.
As most of you already know, for about a year now, I have been essentially running Adventures in ENF by myself—a far cry from our initial team of four people. Even so, by tightening the belt, I was able to manage with the revenues from our different projects and dedicate my full time and attention to their production.
Over time, this has become more and more unsustainable until eventually, I had no choice but to return to my old career. Regrettably, it is a physical demanding job that claim a lot both in time and energy leaving me with only a fraction of what I once had to drive our projects forward
I made attempts to hire help, but despite some initial promise, that too turned into an extremely time-consuming failure. All the possible candidates turned out to lack the necessary physical tools to even contribute to our projects. I even offered to hand over the entire project to a few artists which I believe would have been capable of continuing production of TMS at the current quality level; I assumed that receiving a project years in the making with a constant stream of revenue attached in a gift box would make most people's day, but none of the artists I contacted even answered.
I'll spend most of February trying my best to see if anyone who has the competence and means to do so is willing to take over the production of TMS, but in all likelihood, the game is destined to be on hold for the foreseeable future.
As for Adventures in ENF as a whole, I plan to publish my art here and elsewhere for years to come, as well as the occasional comic, but there is no denying I'll have to downsize drastically.
I am not quite ready to throw in the towel, but I figured I owe all our supporters an account of where things may be heading.

I mean, what you said and the reality of the situation fail to align IMO. It's been ~10 months, supposedly, since this was updated (IDK if it actually was and just not posted here, though) which means it's essentially abandoned. Side project might mean like ~6-7 months no update, but apparently dev just wants to make comics or something based on another comment I sawNo, it is simply just a side project. The developers main focus is comics.
Yea, it was a pretty good one. I even proofread it myself just because I liked it so much.Calling it now, we're never going to see this game completed. If we're lucky, we may get one or two more updates, but the way things are going now? Only if a miracle happens and someone with money and resources steps in to help.
It's a shame really, since I feel this is one of the few games that does mind control right. In other games, it's more like a novel, with the MC just doing things without player input. Here, it gave us some choices in how to grow MC's power.
Well, time will tell how things will progress. I wish the dev the best of luck in his endeavors.
Bit of an overstatement. Yeah some choices seem to be illusions, but others aren't. You can get entirely different scenes with different girls depending on your choices. There is also a small change is some characters clothing depending on your choices.A mind control game that completely ignores your choices
I mean if they get different clothes then the point of no player Input is totally false, nothing more important in a story than what people wear, even more so in a "sandbox" (yes these are air quotes)Bit of an overstatement.

Sure not the greatest amount of freedom, but still far from completely ignoring player input.
Good job addressing the minor point, since you are incapable of refuting the major one. Must feel good.I mean if they get different clothes then the point of no player Input is totally false, nothing more important in a story than what people wear, even more so in a "sandbox" (yes these are air quotes)
Oh! So there is still hope for this game!? That's nice to know!From the latest update:
Latest News - March 1st
Sorry for the delay, everyone. I really prefer to have at least two posts every month, but lately the old juggling act got a lot tougher and I am still adjusting.
Now, for the good news. Quite a few people have offered to help us produce TMS. I've learned the hard way not to count those chickens before they hatch, but I think it's reasonable to expect that at least some of them will come through.
Regarding what's in the production pipelines:
First will be the "Curious Things" Project Retrospective; with renders and the full story-line we're going to see what those naughty tendrils would have been up to had the poll ended differently.
Second, the TMS release with the updated Chapter One (I'm really hoping I can fit in at least some of the new material we created; it might be a bit lopsided since almost everything we did was for the Alex lust path/lost bet).
Third, will be "Alex the Barbarian."In Alex's control path we planned to have her relay to the MC an... interesting dream she had; we'll release it as a standalone mini-game.
Fourth, (assuming everything works out), we'll have the Rogue Bath Fantasy.
It's hard to tell how long each of these will take but the Curious Things Project Retrospective should definitely be out sometime in March.
Stay tuned!
