I just checked the developer's Patreon page. News there is not much better with this posting:
Bouncing Back, Overcoming Setbacks New Apr 22, 2023
This repeats the absent developer situation now for far more than a year.
I, like many others, find this disappointing at the very least. It would be different if there had been more postings between April 2023 and now so we would know how the developer is doing if they are still around. As of now it seems unlikely.
Looks like this game died between the 0.4 and 0.5 releases... Shame. And it looks like since 2022 the site (and developer according to the site) have an ongoing billing/sale of the 0.4 release. Not Cool!
I'm trying to work around some setbacks I've had in my personal life. In addition, the game has become quite complex, I've lost my writing partner, and Episode 5, which is taking a while to be released, is really huge. It's probably more than double the size of any other update.
Just this week I managed to take some time out to dig into the code, and I've made good progress that will free me up to render the last few scenes.
Thanks for your question, it made me sit down for a while and write a brief update. I'm going to take advantage of the fact that you've made me put a few words together, and use this info in a post so that anyone who's interested can also get an update on the progress of the project.
Thanks for the quick response. I greatly appreciate it. It's unfortunate about your writing partner. Please take your time on the game and have a great Holiday. I will look forward to any new updates towards this game. Just say hello from time to time.... We (the fans) would love to hear from you even though it's a small paragraph or photos on what you are working on.
Hi there! I am creating a collection of fully blind accessible games, and your game is listed under the "blind support tag". The word "blind" means different things to different people, and within that wide spectrum their are various levels of expertise with visual UI's. but as a fully blind gamer, I am wondering what features this game provides for those who can not see the screen at all. Do you have "screen reader" or "text to speech" support? Is your game fully playable with a keyboard or controller, rather than having to point the mouse at buttons on the interface? If the answer to those questions is no, it would still be great to know what options are provided for those with less severe visual impairments, so that I might make them aware of your game's usability for them. Thank you for any information you can provide, it's very much appreciated! :)
The mention of the game being Blind Friendly is because the RenPy platform natively has Self-voicing and ALT text for images. Reading through Self-voicing should be working properly, however, I have not provided ALT text for images.
So far I have not had the opportunity to talk to a fully blind player, if you believe the presence of the tag is inappropriate since the game only features Self-voicing I will do so.
Hey thank you for the reply and sorry for how long it took me to get back to you on this. The self voicing is good but if the game doesn't have full keyboard support for all menus (not an issue for all blind people) if certain vital indicators aren't shown in text as well, if their are visual only puzzles ETC, then I'd say it probably shouldn't be on this tag no. Alt text is important as well of course, especially for really important images that convey necessary information. If it was just missing alt text for descriptive stuff I'd say this should still be on the tag but that should be worked on. But yeah if some of those more important things aren't there yet, I'd wait until you have a blind tester. Try forum.audiogames.net, reddit.com/r/blind or rblind.com, or this discord server: https://discord.gg/c3rGEQFNs You may be able to find a tester there. :)
I haven't been able to release it yet. The truth is that the game has become quite complex in events and in the amount of characters. Together with my reduced availability of time to work on it, I'm taking a longer time to finish this chapter that is huge in terms of events, characters implied and scenes.
Hello Jay, Yes. I have most of next chapter ready and rendered. I am just about to end up dealing with some personal issues. In a few days I will release a post informing you all about it.
The goal is, first of all, to push the game to a high level of quality. Delivering both story and image quality. I am sure we are doing very well in this regard. 💜
That being said, regarding Steam, I personally intend to attempt to release it on the platform when the story is completed.
I hope they will accept the game without any problems, but they are quite picky about some aspects. Even though our characters are all of age, you never know what else they might see as an obstacle to refuse a game. 😅
In any case, if it is going to happen, it will be in the future. A minimum of 12 chapters has been planned, divided into two seasons (or more if we opt for more chapters). So, we still have a lot of work ahead of us.
Yes, we have a character named Norma, she has fdom traits and tries to take over our MC. It's up to the player's choice to accept it or show her who is in charge.
It's all good, Nice Character sprites although You need to change your letter font size though it's kinda small. Can't complain for more. Great game and Waiting For the next update.

How is chapter 5 coming along? Just curious since it's been a bit. Thanks, I do like the game though!
Is there a demo available?
There hasn't been any updates with this game. Was it abandoned?
Hi Melty, it's not abandoned.
I'm trying to work around some setbacks I've had in my personal life. In addition, the game has become quite complex, I've lost my writing partner, and Episode 5, which is taking a while to be released, is really huge. It's probably more than double the size of any other update.

Hello Jay, Yes.
I have most of next chapter ready and rendered. I am just about to end up dealing with some personal issues. In a few days I will release a post informing you all about it.
Ah, I'm sorry you're going through a rough patch, and I hope everything works out.
Will this go on Steam?
