2 Games already on hold.... well will be abandoned in a few months, going for a 3rd one which will meet the same fate. Not really the first time I see this happening. Vis was doomed the moment that sandbox shit was added.

Now as for Highway to Abandoned Hell lets see how many updates will it survive.

Vis is so well done it is too bad it is on Hold. I love the choice based paranormal corruption stories, especially in a fantasy setting. I wonder if Highway to Hell has a lot of paranormal elements.

Hi all!

Thank you for your messages! First, Vis is not abandoned, at least not for me. F95 moderators have set the tag.
The plan is that after Highway to hell, I will return to Vis and upgrade it. That means an improved story, graphics, and features to enhance the experience as it should have been. I made mistakes, but I plan to fix them, and Highway To Hell is a break for me to deliver something good (at least how I see it) and prepare the Vis upgrade.

To all those who are saying that I will abandon my games, I have two words:

I'll keep my mouth shut and not accuse of anything, but hope you prove them wrong... cause you had a lot of greatness going on with Vis...fucked it up... tried to make it into something it's not... and now it's sitting here stale.

Vis was the first game I ever developed, and yes, maybe I let my passion be above my experience and I thought I could make it more than a VN because I wanted to deliver the full experience that I had in my mind. In the end, I will make things right.

I hope so... this was really good. You were on the right path. You should at least be proud of that.

I have to agree with GetOutOfMyLab! Vis was already great and still you wanted what a studio full of coders and designers consistently fails to do. Something like Skyrim, Mass Effect or Dragon Age (the first and second ones). Even Skyrim took years of modding to reach what it is today...
Believe me, it was a sad day for me when you announced it was stopping. I told you then it was one of my all time favorites and still is. My "personal" hall of fame has around 25 titles, most of them finished, from hundreds of AVNs I played, and Vis has a solid seat there.
I really wish you get back to it and hopefully I'll be here to see it completed and support you to get there.
While waiting, I'm watching Highway to Hell with interest.

Like others, kinda sad when I saw that Abandoned tag. This became a "must play" for me and sincerely, I don' t think it needs an upgrade and just updates, but I guess you as Dev must feel pleased by your product too. Don't let this die, you have something good going on here.

Lets be honest, that right there is years of work just to get to where it already is in the story.
No one wants "features", they just want a solid story and decent renders.

No one is clamoring for sandboxes, mini-games , quick-time-events or any other crap.

Just doing a decent story/plot and decent renders is already years of work for one person.
Just do those two core things well is all anyone really wants.

It won't happen anyway. No matter how much work there is.

His other game, Vis Origins, was put on hold so he could finish Vis first then return to Origins.

Now this is put on hold so he can focus on Highway to Hell but he'll finish Vis once that one is finished.

Sensing a pattern? He can't complete one. He puts it on hold, starts another, puts it on hold, etc etc...

I give it a year or two before we hear that Highway to Hell has been put on hold until he finishes New Game Name.

Which is a shame. I really enjoyed Vis.
