i looked around for a few minutes but i did find anything interesting about the game you mentioned, what was the incident about?
That game isn't listed here, but the gist is the developer, an Aussie known as Westy, (i.e. Loli's). They are coming down on this guy hard, since it's the first arrest of this kind in Australia. They confiscated just about everything and the kitchensink of this dev. Equipment, furniture, cars, collectibles, you name it. They're even planning on going after those folks who supported the dev financially (for as far as they're within Australian jurisdiction). This scared a couple of devs shitless to the point a few games, involving loli like content, immediately got abandoned. The thing is, as long as they're not in a country where such laws exist like in Australia, they've got not much to worry about.

Except a lot of those laws exist in other countries too.

And again, use this thread: Busted for making porn game

That was from 2 months ago... and like that poster said, the tag don't get added without it being reported as abandoned. And I don't think just anyone can report it as such.
But, I hope you're right.
Any random joe can report it here....that's why so many games sometimes have the premature abandoned tag as people keep reporting abandoned over and over and over and over....

Should wait till an official announcement from the dev since, as they said, no announcement on official channels that he is done.

It could have had a lot more had there been proper update timings and communication on patreon, this game could have become quite successful.
Yeah communication seems to be one of the biggest issues. I don't know if this has been confirmed but some people say that the dev is from Russia so I don't know if the whole war thing has affected him. But since he seems to be somewhat active on discord it wouldn't really be that hard for him to make some progress updates on patreon.

I actually have reported a game once. But the dev went silent for 8 months already.

The dev is very uncommunicative and has a habit of disappearing without explanation for long periods of time. Officially, he has never justified his disappearances, and the rumors about the Russia war are just baseless speculations. The reality is that he's an inconsistent and unreliable dev. He promises delivery dates that he consistently fails to meet. In the past, he already abandoned the development of a game, and this latest update was released after he had been missing for over a year. Whether he will abandon True Bond or continue to update it (and when he will release a new version) is something only he knows.

Yeah,idk why people still cant understand that.Literally %90 of developers like Cloudlet.There are very few developers who produce something constantly and communicate with their patrons/fans.It sounds toxic but this is the reality boys.

If 90% of developers were like that, you wouldn't get new game updates almost every day in this forum. Most devs do a decent job, you just have a few bad apples that make everyone else look bad.

I didn't know this game, I tried it and I liked it.
but gradually I began to understand that I will have to abandon this too

For those having problems getting this to run on MAC:
-download [Mac]True_Bond.app.rar
-extract [Mac]True_Bond.app.rar (I use Keka for extracting RAR archives, use whatever works for you)
-run the following console command 'chmod +x [Mac]True_Bond.app/Contents/MacOS/[Mac]True_Bond'
-run the game
Hello from 2023, bro I hope you are still around. Could you plz specify how to do this step [-run the following console command 'chmod +x [Mac]True_Bond.app/Contents/MacOS/[Mac]True_Bond']? where should I go to run the console command? many thanks

Literally this developer must laugh a lot, he did a good job and now he earns a month without doing anything, do you want to see him always post something? It's just general to withdraw from his patreon, when the money dries up, they go back to work

nah this guy goes a step beyound. if people withdraw their money the guy just abandons and creates a whole new project under another name with the same premise and almost identical caracters. he changes tiny bits and add no real content and then posts the game again.

here is what appeared not long after true bond was cancelled; https://f95zone.to/threads/crazy-son-v0-01a-crazy-wanker.142116/
