It's been very dead for at least 6 months now. The 6 months before that there wasn't much life either. I would be surprised to see an update. But it would be a happy surprised. ;)
When a dev doesn't release any updates to an initial release (more than a year ago at this point) and instead does holiday renders, it's a bad, bad sign. I would chalk this up as abandoned and if an update ever does come out, be pleasantly surprised.
This dev was very steady with the updates for the first year, living up to his promised 8-10 weeks per update. Unfortunately things seem to have gone very sideways. There are still posts being made to his Subscribestar, but that's about it.
It's looking a bit grim. The dev was very regular in updates, active in posting updates on Patreon...and now nothing. Both Patreon and Subscribestar haven't had a dev update in a long time and the dev's twitter/X account has been deleted.
I hope the dev is ok, going radio silent like this is not...
Part of this is the mess of having multiple protagonists. It's almost always a terrible idea and turns into a mess. Having a single main character in stories helps the narrator focus and not go down rabbit holes. The only game I can think of off the top of my head that has multiple protagonists...
Deaufosse has been MIA on the other site since the same time he disappeared here, back in September. I would not expect any updates to this game or his other at this point. Being radio-silent as a dev for that long is usually a very bad sign that either life or something else happened, causing...
Four years ago a lot of people said the same thing. The dev's response was to add even more girls, some so bland that they are color coded/named. Five years into development, this VN isn't going to change directions radically. At this point we're lucky if updates actually drop at all.
The Engrish in the game is pretty terrible. It's bad enough that at times it's hard to make out what was intended. Ideally a Spanish speaker fluent in English could lend the dev a hand (I'm guessing that's the original language, but oddly there is no original/alternate language option).
Current build is extremely short. Interesting premise and character design. But the voice "acting" (AI crap) is terrible. As someone else mentioned, the majority of the images are AI-generated image flashbacks currently, so the actual content is really, really tiny. Calling this anything but a...
A forum is supposed to be about discussion...not mindless simping. He didn't like the update and stated why. Instead of telling him to go elsewhere, you could simply respond why you liked it. The dev is hopefully smart enough to take criticism as well as compliments.
I also wasn't a big fan of...
It's a little surprising to see a dev struggle so hard on a game after doing so well on their first one. Unfortunately I think the format of this one (the dreaded Sandbox) along with negative response to some of the content probably has made working on this one a chore that the dev is avoiding...
Sadly the derailment continues in the S3E2 release.
The cult resolution was also really odd. It felt rushed and incomplete...but I'm happy if it's finally done with.
Last development update was from May, 2023:
That was the end of the progress updates. In October, the dev posted:
Overall, not good. The update should've been done in August at the old update pace. But now seems to be on hold while dev "considers" things.
It's not. It's a site controlled by game devs, so you won't see content until they ok it. There was an attempt to change this, so that content would eventually show up after a reasonable amount of time, and that led to a hissy fit/fight, and now we're back to this.
