In this one, there always was just you as the contestant, no others there.Where the heck did the game go? Did it become a super boring quiz? Wasn't this the game with other contestants and so on???
Sorry, my mistake. I mixed it up with some other game that had some kind of Big Brother set up! No offence against the DEV! Main thing is that the game is like he/she/it inteded and not whether it matches my taste. I just thought the game part was cut out! Thank you for setting this straight!In this one, there always was just you as the contestant, no others there.
The game you mixed up is called BMO TVSorry, my mistake. I mixed it up with some other game that had some kind of Big Brother set up! No offence against the DEV!

I also noticed that the above link seems not to display the avatarIs this game unplayable?
I would still like to know why it's abandoned.Look at the last edited date for OP:

If you mean why did F95 mark it abandoned, it's because of the F95 rule that a title with no release in 90-days with no word from the developer within that time about the update (either here or on their social media, funding platform, etc) during that same time, a title may be marked abandoned. The developer may also request a title be abandoned, but doubtful that is the case here.I would still like to know why it's abandoned.
Thanks for the explanation.If you mean why did F95 mark it abandoned, it's because of the F95 rule that a title with no release in 90-days with no word from the developer within that time about the update (either here or on their social media, funding platform, etc) during that same time, a title may be marked abandoned.

The last update for the title was at the end of May 2022 - six months before the title was marked abandoned on F95. The last Patreon post was 10 Aug 2022 - nearly 4 months before the title was marked abandoned on F95.
The developer's other two titles are also tagged abandoned. One went abandoned 2 years ago. The second appears to have been marked abandoned on here about the same time as this title. About 2 weeks ago, the developer posted in that thread that they intend to release an update for that title by the end of the year (after the tag was added - so if they do release an update, the tag should be removed at that time). Nothing was mentioned about this title in that other post.
In fact, since the May 2022 release of the update of this title, the only times the developer has communicated in F95 threads is for that other title. Interestingly, the developer last logged into F95 on 8 Dec.
So make of that what you will.
It's 3 months - and you are correct about enforcement. However, while that is the general rule - there are mitigating circumstances which mods sometimes consider in their own judgement on whether to let it go longer than that. Also, there are very few mods and a whole lotta games ... so some slip through the cracks for the tag. Games where the developer request the abandoned tag (or the alternate on-hold tag -- if a developer is active on the site and is aware of that option) or is reported as having no development progress for 3 months usually get noticed quicker.Thanks for the explanation.
4 months seems a bit strict. And also not universally enforced. I've seen many other games on f95 that have not been marked abandoned (yet) despite no updates for 4-10 months.
On another note, we need a tag that is something like "Patreon Milker" or "Development Hell" or "Scam" for games that release infrequent updates with very few improvements.
Build 0.9 is now on his patreon though there's plenty of bugs I think.There has been an update post on their patron from April. They are currently working on version 0.9, I can't read the updates other than the titles and a small blurb of text but it seems they are working on updating the epilogues and archetypes.
