True, but right after Uni is still your best chance to get in the door somewhere.

to be fair he started it with the voting shit. He asked for opinions, we are giving it.
First, The Missing Part is my favorite game.
Second, I will most likely buy Tak's new game and play it from the first release.
Third, nothing you said means people should or shouldn't give financial advice. Betting on making a living in AVNs is just as shaky a prospect for a new dev as it is for Tak. Giving people the advice not to bet on making money with an AVN isn't "weird".

Well, considering it had a release less than a month ago. I would say that being abandoned now. Somewhat qualifies as "out of nowhere" in my eyes.
I mean I was just recommending this on a Reddit post like a week ago, that's a whoopsie now...
(Sorry random guy. If you followed my advice that is and ended up here. MY BAD!)

there were signs before it wasn't going to be a steady development. And with the recent patreon polls it wasn't that big of a surprise...

yeah last few polls were rather concerning before that then I would of said yeah it came out of nowhere. I just didn't expect it before the Spice it up , update. I expected it after a few more updates to be honest it just came sooner than I thoughtWell, considering it had a release less than a month ago. I would say that being abandoned now.

Yeah, I usually don't really follow every VN I play super closely, and instead just check in on their threads every now and again. So it was a little surprising when you had stuff like this being posted only 9 fucking days ago. And now it's just over.
Ah well, it'll just go down as a "what could have been" for me I guess. RIP Tides.

There's a lot to respond to on this thread so I'll just respond to it generally rather than a few individual comments...
First of all, to those upset, disappointed, angry and frustrated... I don't blame you. I didn't want to put ToS on hold, but due to the reasons outlined in my Patreon posts, I couldn't go forward with it unless it became more of a hobby project. I understand some people believe I could've continued with ToS and still tried to go full-time, but I thought a lot about that and came to the conclusion that isn't viable.
To those people who say trust has been broken... once again, I don't blame you. There's nothing I can say that's going to mend that trust - I'm fully aware of that. I just hope overtime, I can earn some of that trust back if you'll let me.
To those people who say the new AVN will be a generic college game with a horny MC... I'll let the game do the talking once it's released.
To those people criticising me for releasing a poll about it... I respectfully disagree with your points.
To those people who don't believe I can make a living from AVN development... that's fair. There's certainly no guarantees in this industry, but I'm going to give this my all. I also want to reiterate the fact that I'm not throwing away my life for this, I'll land on two feet if this fails, I'll be okay.
I'm happy to answer questions or discuss any of the above points further.

Well, props for coming here facing the disappointment, i feel like i did read the trust part from you already in the past but anyway.
I for my part will surely come back if the new project has the same quality and turns out to be a lasting project and i feel like that will be the case with most people but this will take time.
good luck with the new avn

I am not going to say anything other than what's already been said about your decision. However, I will say this: if you want a bigger audience for your new game, you are missing out by not making it a school harem. It's what most of your new target audience will want, and it's the first thing they will ask for.

If he’s gunning for a BaDIK clone, both the dev and us are in for more disappointment. He won’t steal away any BaDIK fans away from that game.

As some people have said in this thread, if this was all about money, I'd be making an AI NTR Phone game.
Contrary to what some of you might believe, I still want to produce something I'm passionate about. I just want to produce something I'm passionate about while also producing a commercially viable project. A school harem is a commercially viable project, but it's not something I'm passionate about.
It's not going to be a BaD clone. But as I said in my above post, I'm going to let the game speak for itself when it gets released.
