It's not dead. Roy (author and curator) are moving the game from Ren'py to Unreal Engine. The Ren'py will supposedly be done with the current chapter 10 so Unreal likely picks up at Chapter 11.

Incorect. It is staying in Renpy...he is just using unreal for modelling and rendering instead of Daz. There is zero reason to switch actual game engine, especially given their new licensing agreements and especially half way through the VN. So for the end user, nothing will change.
Except the game used to get regular updates and was on the path to completion...and now it is in limbo after a year of zero updates released. Sadly this is usually what happens after a major change to production (graphic change or re-work) of a title mid-completion.
Maybe in another year we'll see who is correct. I'm hoping it's Maviarab.

Which has nothing to do with what was asked and replied to.
So your point was exactly?

Aha, so instead of continuing to update the game with actual content, they decided to start something so "important and necessary" for the game as transferring it to a new engine, a feature nobody asked for, while, of course, continuing to leech their patrons for a year, without doing anything.
I want to be THIS good at business/scam.
EDIT: nvm, it seems the engine is the same but still, wouldn't that be a great idea huh.

Some can call it a scam all they like. I'll say it again, if people are too stupid to keep track of their spending...or have more money than they know what to do with...that's on them...no one else. No one forcing anyone to spend money they don't need/have to.
The original message was
Everything followed from that. So what I posted has everything to do with that. The game for all practical purposes is dead at this point unless an update actually comes out. It's been a solid year with no updates during this "transition" to the new rendering process that has been much discussed.
My final point of saying hopefully you'll end up being right is that hopefully things get back on track, updates resume and the game actually gets completed...and "for the end user, nothing will change."
In case that still did not get through your thick helmet: the game is actually dead...unless an update actually drops.

So Schrödinger's game, the game is both dead and alive at the same time unless dev announce one of which true.

So you are defying customer rights, huh? Guess this is the same reasoning that allowed Chris Roberts to buy himself a Hollywood home for $5m, provided by backers of Scam Citizen x)

Fuck me there's some idiots on this site.
You have no customer rights on a donation site. None, nadda, zip, zilch, fuck all. You donate to help development...nothing more. Donate being the operable and important word here. You're buying nothing except a promise.

I dunno what world you live in but in my world, yeah, although traditional consumer protection laws may not directly apply to crowdfunding transactions, backers still have legal avenues to seek remedies in certain situations. It's just, many don't care because nobody will pay for a lawyer to file a suit over $10/mo payments.
Sad tho, because this allows creators to scam their backers like this.

well 6 months away from abandoned tag so this is in limbo, dev makes progress reports but that's it.So Schrödinger's game, the game is both dead and alive at the same time unless dev announce one of which true.

Yeah but was not there a post about almost all of the old renders ended and dev started to make new chapter, am I pulling out of my ass? If so, 6 months is more than enough for him to create new episode. Also 18 months limitation is only for this site, so he can release the new episode, like 2 years later without any problem. So abandoned tag does not make the game dead.
Though, if dev keep the regular intervals as before, around every 6 months for each updare iirc, this game will take a decade to finish and I don't think anyone has patience for such a deliverance.

after last update he decided to switch graphics from daz3d to unreal with limited success based on previews.
update interval has been 4-6 months.
update interval has been 4-6 months.
I'm glad to hear that.
If he did switch to Unreal engine, I'd have to wait until I get a high performance PC.
I haven't looked into the downloads and stuff
Are Ren'py's currently the highest niche in the porn game market? It seems to be the easiest for the average pc to handle

well i think the switch for software was unnecessary and believe most people would agree
but the dev does what the dev does
maybe it will be worth the time,maybe not, we will see when season 2 finally starts
