A quick update came out a few months ago, right? Was the ABANDONED status corrected at that time and did the game return to this status? What a shame, the game really had potential.

So much angst, dude is working another job that he's already said takes up most of his time. Is maybe some of the delay a patreon milk? maybe.. probably.. but what can you do? just have to wait and see. If you want to support him via patreon that's on you.

guys, you think there is hope for this game?
its been more than 4 months without an update from the dev, if i were capable in coding and using renpy, i might have taken the mantle for this game and made it better than what it is currently.
any ideas is someone wants to take the mantle for this game or something?
yes so 2 things

1. this developer does this a lot. Look at his paetron history prior to the march update he updated the game in Feb 2021 and then before that June 2020. His updates are rare which sucks I don't encourage subscribiing to his paetron due to his lack of updates. But they do happen.

2. The game is easiily modable. The SAZ mod has done a lot to improve the game and add scenes. So if it does get abandon it is possible someone else could take up the mantle and complete the game.

Did you take a look at the source code? It isn't mod friendly at all, it's a total mess to be frank. SAZ must've put an insane amount of work into his mod and he has to do it again and again whenever the game gets updated.

either way it is possible and we are talking about the game actually being dead so it wouldnt' be updated anyomore. Point still stands this game should see more updates no matter what happens.

Correct S A Z ended up making a non-instrustive mod version so he can bypass the main code and use his own. However that means he has to read all code updates, recode his way and test before he can even start on his changes (images, Script, Code) for mod.

He's already finished the code side of the effort to updating the mod to the most recent version. So he'll only have one more code adaptation to ever go assuming saddog drops a final release. As others have stated though this close to the end it's kind of a non-issue because he'll finish it himself if he has to. Like saddog he's got other shit going on. It's all a waiting game

LOL I know all I guess you missed my name under play testers in credits, I have been helping SAZ for a while.

I agree that he should definitely either find a partner or leave the project for someone else for some monetary compensation, royalties or something... Or he could also try to simplify the compexity of game from sandbox to simple VN that might lessen his burden a bit...

The story is definitely top notch and even though the scenes are a bit lacking in animation & fps i quite like the design (especialy Nicole and some of her expressions).

I really think that with some rework done this game could go to the very top!

You haven't played very many, have you?
Most of the characters in most of the games here have no familial resemblance to anyone else in their "families". The most familiar is the brunette mother (and father, if he's not dead) with blonde, redhead and black haired children, with facial features and body builds that look like random people pulled off the street.

Yes, it bugs the Hell out of me, too.
yes but the mc in this game is waaay out there, he definitely looks more like a goon who is working up his way in the crime ring, instead of being part of the family returning home narrative, this game probably started with a non-incest story and was later adjusted to the mainstream site genre

It was always incest related. Look at his original incest game.
