Their Patreon has a post form Nov 8th 2024 that is titled "Announcement - 0.6 Development Status" but it's for paying only

So sounds like a delay, I would think they would have titled it differently if they abandoned development. But you can never know for sure.

Yeah haven't played the last update was waiting for the next , hopefully not a dead game and the dev just deleted their F95 account I don't see that as a big deal yet. As other dev's have done that and gone on to still develop the game.

Hmmm...anyone know why the dev deleted their account?
Considering how long there's been no update, I'm afraid that that he abandoned the project :(
It could be the dev just didn't want his Patreon obviously associated with his account here and uses just another name now. Or if the game didnt take off, the dev doesn't want the next try associated with a abandoned project. Its all just speculation.
Someone with a Patreon account could try and ask whats going on.

I wasn't asking for plausible theories...it was a simple question.

Does anyone Know
If Yes = True then what?
Else > No.

Wow, Arisushi deleted her account? That's sad to hear, I was really hoping she would pull this one off.
Perhaps she still will. We can hope.

Great game.
Hope it continues.
Completely understand if it doesn't.
Knowing now what you posted, I completely understand if she just went up and did something different making $17 a month.


Thank you. I'll do my best to deliver the best VN experience I can.
Dear Arisushi, if you ever read this - know that your talents were recognized and appreciated. You did the best you could and it was good!

are nice people who write 2800-line reviews. Do you think anyone reads them?
Not sure who 'you' is in that sentence, but if I may add to that - I think they do.

Matter of fact, I know they do because statistics tell me they do. About 15 each day, depending on what game they like.
It fluctuates whether or not there's something new to read, but trust me - some people do. But most people don't, we can agree on that!

so if someone writes a never-ending review, you read it from beginning to end and don't get annoyed after 10 lines. Well done. Good for you.

Not entirely sure if it's good, but it's good people have different styles of consumption. I do agree long reviews need a nice tl;dr for people who can't or won't enjoy the indepth text. I can definitely get annoyed even before 10 lines if the thing doens't make sense. I get annoyed from 3 line posts, so it depends.

To each their own, right? Some people would enjoy a video review over a text review!

I love Amrfty's reviews, which brought me here, and appreciate their length. A short review lets me know if the reviewer likes the game. A long decent review lets me know if I'll like it and why.

And a long, excellent review does all that while putting the game in context, often opening the door to new finds.

I can't believe I didn't respond to this. RuneF, I just want to thank you for speaking on that.
Doing reviews like this takes way more time than I'd like to admit, but it's worth it seeing people actually are helped and enjoy the reviews I can do to help them decide whether a game is worth it.
