I can only repeat what I have already said: that to me it's obvious the dev is developing the story as separate executables.
Nothing you say will change this.
Not sure why you find this so hard to accept, or why you waste so many words on the issue.
I don't find it hard to accept. It seems pretty clear that objective, fact based reasoning is something you're rather poor at & you clearly prefer to cling to delusion for... some reason or other. What I'm trying to do is give you a chance to face reality & come to grips with the facts so that maybe you can save face.
BTW, side note, you initially presented your argument as though each game was "separate chapters" in the story. Well, for starters, in "Favor for a friend" & "Helping the neighbor", you ARE aware that these are completely separate games with completely separate characters right? So how could they be "different chapters" when they aren't even the same people & settings? I mean yeah, I guess they are different chapters in that they are from different stories with different people, so obviously they wouldn't be part of any chapters of Zoey's story, but that actually works against your argument, not in favor of it.
So you're presuming that the game is "Here's the cast of characters, here's the setting, the end, k thx, bye" then chapter 2, it's Christmas, Zoey is roped into a neighbor's photo shoot, it starts getting out of hand & right in the middle of things ramping up, The end. Then chapter 3, Zoey isn't zoey anymore, but is some redhead that, despite being very proper & conservative, decides to be the stripper at her husband's friend's bachelor party to ensure things don't get out of hand, then proceeds to let things get totally out of hand, cheating on her husband in a gangbang, "TOTALLY for the first time", then we fast forward to the redhead turning back into zoey... somehow... & them visiting with their older widower neighbor & start a "hubby's totally not jealous" competition that ends in her fucking the neighbor, going outside their marriage TOTALLY for the first time, even though it would require significant retconning of chapters 2 & 3, then in chapter 5 zoey turns back into the redhead again & she & her husband decide to mess around with his roomate... which now is a young skinny nerdy kid, (wasn't he an old guy in Zoey?), which turns into her fucking the roomate & her & her husband discovering their enjoyment of sharing his wife TOTALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME AGAIN, then in chapter 6 they decide to give their neighbor some fun, totally fooling around outside their marriage for the first time ever... so this is now their 4th or 5th "totally the first time ever" now, the neighbor now being a fat white dude even though it was a skinny old black dude before. Seems legit to me, (sarcasm intended).
So, let's engage our brain for just 2 seconds shall we? I'll make this super simple.
I say the game is abandoned & NOT a complete game because:
A. it only introduced the characters & setting before it ends without any plot, story arc or conclusion. This ALL shows that it's incomplete. To argue otherwise is unyieldingly stupid. You have provided absolutely ZERO counter argument to this.
In fact, let me demonstrate your hypothesis. "Hi, this is Bob. Bob lives at his house. The end." Slap a render on that, upload it to Renpy & I just made a "Complete game" by your definition. See how stupid & pointless that is?
B. The creator said themselves that THIS game was going to be his main project. I sincerely doubt that his side projects would all have substantially more content than his main project if his goal was not to continue building on this. That's kind of the meaning of the words MAIN PROJECT. You have provided ZERO counter argument for this as well.
C. Aside from Zoey being the MC of HFWYG & the Christmas one, there is ZERO connective tissue between the games. You have failed to address this fact as well.
You claim that it is not abandoned & is a complete game because:
A. ????
See the problem there? I stated my position because list of objective facts. You state your position because "herp derp potato beep beep American hot dog uh oh!". Granted you never said those exact words, but they accurately mirror the logic in your argument. Do you remember what I said about doubling down on already refuted arguments & ignoring oppositional counter arguments making you look like a clueless dolt? That's EXACTLY what you're doing. You are being a clueless dolt. Understand, this argument is in response to you jumping into the conversation with your laughably absurd arguments about it being complete. So if you want to prove yourself as not a dolt, instead of just repeating the same tired "Cum on gaiz, it's obvious it's all separate games fer each chapter", ACTUALLY ADDRESS THE ARGUMENTS.
If they were all separate games, then that directly contrasts the creators own position of this game being his main project. Explain that because you're literally arguing AGAINST the CREATOR of the game at that point.
If this is a stand alone game, Explain why it ends after introducing the characters, setting & nothing else. Why would he make a game that has ZERO actual story or content.
If these are all chapters of a larger story, explain why, aside from Zoey being the MC of only 3 of them there's ZERO connective tissue between the games & ALL characters being different in the other 3 games. THESE are the arguments that you NEED to address in order for you & your arguments to have ANY credibility. Just saying "It's obvious to me..." doesn't address ANY of these facts AT ALL. You're saying the creator of the game stating this is his main project "makes it obvious to you" that it's NOT? That introducing characters, a setting, no plot or content before it cuts off is "Obvious to you" that it's a complete game? Same goes for the Christmas one that ended halfway through. The fact that the only connection between these otherwise isolated games is that zoey is the MC of only HALF of them & all the other characters are different makes it "obvious to you" that they are standalone game "chapters"? Do you not understand how astoundingly stupid & absurd that sounds? Because for those of us with a working brain, it seems pretty obvious that this game is an incomplete intro to what was intended to be a larger game that's been sitting abandoned since 2019. So again, why is this not tagged as abandoned?
So again, if you want you & your arguments to be seen as anything other than the nonsense ramblings of a clueless, illogical & detatched from reality dolt, then actually ADDRESS the arguments presented instead of just doubling down on "Cmon guys, it's OBVIOUS from all the facts that SCREAM it's ABANDONED that it's a complete game". Unless that is, your argument is that the creator just outright sucks at making games & can't cohesively write for shit.
