Vacation Mode extended for another month on SS. 
It seems like this update still needs more work than just proofreading.

Seems like this game reached the natural stage almost every VN has. RIP

I'm still alive – Happy Halloween
Alright, I will try to keep this one compact as there honestly isn't that much news for me to tell you but since I haven't posted anything here in quite a while I think it is still about time for at least a little life signal.
I'm still not back at working on the game and neither will I be for a while longer. Accordingly I've once again extended the subscription billing pause. It is very, very likely however that things will return back to normality within November and once they do the update will follow very shortly. Of course I'm aware that me saying these things doesn't mean awfully much anymore but things are actually starting to settle down and my promise remains as strong as before that the game is far from finished.
There are more things I'd like to say but everything I write feels like I'm just trying to make you guys look more favorable upon me, so I'll leave it at that. In the end I just hope that with v0.9 we will be able to leave this waste of a year in regards to the game behind us and maybe I'll be able to return it back to the excitement I felt that it once had next year. Don't take my word for it though, let me have to prove it.
Regarding the vacation mode since there keeps being some confusion about that: The date set in there doesn't mean anything. The vacation mode will remain until v0.9 is released and will be lifted as soon as that is the case independent from the set date. Should anyone ever be charged without v0.9 being released you can take that as a clear indicator that the game actually is dead.
Anyway, I hope you're not too feed up with me not to let me wish all of you a happy Halloween and give you some quick renders I made. It certainly felt nice to do something with honey select again.

I just hope the guys life goes back to being stable after whatever it is happened
Depends what you mean by natural stage
There's a decent amount of devs milking their games, I can think of at least 3 near-instantly but they all share the following characteristics:
1) Did not pause billing
2) Kept stringing people along that the update will be done soon
3) Admitted to not working on the game for a long while, with no justification at all
BaiBai could've done better by giving a heads up sooner than he did but other than that he doesn't really satisfy those criteria.
Admittedly, I have seen a few games where the dev paused billing with the intent of returning the month after and then they just get too busy to work on it so one month becomes three... and then six, and then they never get around to working on it again. BaiBai seems fairly confident that this ain't gonna happen, but all we can do is wait and see
