I totally forgot about this game, to find it today and seeing it hasn't been updated since the last time i played it, what is taking them so long, they better be making a good size update otherwise doesn't justify the wait.
They're fixing bugs.I totally forgot about this game, to find it today and seeing it hasn't been updated since the last time i played it, what is taking them so long, they better be making a good size update otherwise doesn't justify the wait.
It's been explained several times in the thread. It basically boils down to: 1) largest update yet, 2) devs had another child, 3) Pistachio had two hip surgeries and needed time to recover.I totally forgot about this game, to find it today and seeing it hasn't been updated since the last time i played it, what is taking them so long, they better be making a good size update otherwise doesn't justify the wait.
As a dev you have a couple of options if something IRL prevents you from doing work on a game that's receiving monthly subscriptions:Yes, or at least is what many members already had mention that situation a couple of times even the situation regarding health issues that resulted in the necessity of a surgery for of the devs. Of course, as you sould expect this is still not enough to appease the frustration of many fans and even less the haters.
Da Rulz of this site.Why was the game abandoned? I don't understand.
3. Prefixes
- On-hold: used for a developer who temporarily stops working on a game for whatever reason and makes a clear public statement about it, if they do not resume work in 6 months the prefix is changed to Abandoned.
- Abandoned: used in the following cases:
- The developer states that the development has been permanently suspended.
- After 3 months of inactivity from the developer's public creator/crowdfunding accounts (Patreon, SS, etc), we will resolve special circumstances or scenarios on a case-by-case basis (no creator accounts, creators developing for free, Patreon accounts under review/ban).
- No game update has been released for an abnormally long period of time (>18 months).
- Game threads that are marked On-hold for over 6 months with no game update.
- Note: this prefix is only removed upon the release of a new update for purchase/download.
This, all of this. If you can't maintain your original promised pacing, stop taking money from people until you can.As a dev you have a couple of options if something IRL prevents you from doing work on a game that's receiving monthly subscriptions:
However, there is no incentive for these two to change their current workflow since they still make more per month than most people in the US. While I'd love to be proven wrong, I have a strong suspicion that this update will be permanently stuck in the "polish" phase since it's easy to just arbitrarily change the numbers to reflect any amount of progress.
- Pause automatic transactions until you're able to continue working on the game
- Outsource the work to someone else with a revenue split (i.e. 30-70)
- Work through it
What if you inform your supporters you won't be able to keep up that pace, and they still want to support you anyway under the new conditions?This, all of this. If you can't maintain your original promised pacing, stop taking money from people until you can.
It's me, hidayum literally this. Who the fuck loves to fuck green orcs lol
I doubt they explicitly said "this year we won't work because we have a baby. Oh we also plan to make a second one too, do your math"What if you inform your supporters you won't be able to keep up that pace, and they still want to support you anyway under the new conditions?
Well, you are partly right, they didn't say that because they never stopped working except for a few days right after the baby was born. Also, they didn't plan to make another baby, this one they had on October 2022 was their second already (so next time you better check your data).I doubt they explicitly said "this year we won't work because we have a baby.

Ah yes, welfare for porn devs, just what the world needs lmaoWhat if you inform your supporters you won't be able to keep up that pace, and they still want to support you anyway under the new conditions?
it is called - shearing sheepWhat if you inform your supporters you won't be able to keep up that pace, and they still want to support you anyway under the new conditions?
Bro come on, let's be serious. it's been two years and the update is nowhere near finished. They are redoing drawings and writing. Of course they didn't work for the first six months, if not the whole first year.Well, you are partly right, they didn't say that because they never stopped working except for a few days right after the baby was born.
You can browse their Patreon page and see at least 5 spoilery pics or WIP videos posted between October 2022 and March 2023, and at least 3 more in the upcoming months until the baby's first birthday. That's actual work done for patrons to see, not just random numbers on a chart or a fancy weekly message. For comparison's sake, they posted around a dozen of spoilery artworks in the whole v0.6 development period that took them 10 months or so. So yeah, they kept working, just slower, as they said they'd do.Bro come on, let's be serious. it's been two years and the update is nowhere near finished. They are redoing drawings and writing.
