He abandoned his first game so he could focus on Vis.
Then he abandoned Vis so he could focus on the new game.
The patrons started leaving at a steady rate because of him abandoning Vis.
Dev called it quits.

Just tried it and it is working, so the problem is on your end. If you can't copy and paste the password then you need to type it out as you see it on screen.
If you see capital letters you need to use CAPITAL letters and not lower case (capital) letters.

With Two games abandoned, the new one will eventually be abandoned too.. it's only a matter of time.

damn just saw that the patreon is gone.... well that's a shame. I liked the vibe of the new game. Can't say I'm surprised though this dev just didn't have the right method.

That's the same result of the developer of Primal Instinct. First game, abandoned because the did not reach his monetary goal. Starts a second VN asking for massive support from the start, menacing to abandon the development, he does not reach the wanted numbers: new game abandoned too. Developers must understand that people want complete games, so if someone has never produced a completed one it's very difficult to blindly give him money.
I mean I hate it when games get abandoned too and I hate that this game abandoned, but it's a lot of work to develop these type of games and only really the devs on this site and on patreon really make enough to do it full time. Most of the time it's just a side thing and the developers are sacrificing their free time to make the game. That's one of the reasons why so many of them get abandoned because unless you're already pretty popular, its not really worth making them in the long run unless it's just a passion project. Especially when it's one person making the game and not a group of people.

I agree and I understand that for most developers a VN is just a side project, but they have too high expectations if they think a non finished product will pay for itself during development. That rarely happens. A completed product could sell well on Steam or other platforms, that is the goal they should have. Also, new developers do not attract a lot of paying supporters. A developer that has got only an abandoned project on his CV is even less attractive.

Many of them might not even want to finish it (see ToT and KoD) and just milk the fans forever with minimal work,a completed product takes effort which they dont have in them or just no vision,I blame above all the fanbase not the devs as much or more,they pay and allow things to be this way by lowering the bar to a gaping pit of frustration,devs on this site will never use this as reference in their CV unless its a finished and proper game,many who milk their fans or outright run with the money delete everything,another reason to not have games be payed for before 100% finished.
Also any gofundme or patreon should require the ID and other data from the dev,if he doesnt comply with his promises then he can be sued by his fans who payed for him or who steals and runs. Right now any scumbag can just get the money and evaporate.I cant believe any morons agree with this,anyone getting money should be registred and located for any eventuallity.
