You guys don't have any idea on hard on making VN so better not rush the author, they have real ppl like us not some story creating machine who's working 24/7
I think its more on the lines of
Hey this game isnt dead so expect updates whenever, even if they take months (Yes VN's are HARD to do and people are willing to wait that long)
OR
Hey, sorry but this game is dead and you have just been wasting all your time waititng for nothing
He just wants ot know if it was still alive or not, i think hes fine with waiting a few more months just like we all are. He wasent rushing them, just asking if its dead or not
I second this, there have been many times where I check all the socials/patreon for VN updates and can't find a crumb of info. Like yeah I get VN's are hard and take a lot of time but just a quick, "hey I'm still working on this" at least every few months makes a huge difference. I'll keep patient and just check again later.
I've seen some go a year without any updates and it just kills any interest. I mean there was an extreme example where an author for a different VN didn't update in over a year and it turned out they were in a war-torn country and likely loss internet access. Obviously they were focused on living.
Pretty much I'm just saying short, quick updates are much appreciated. It's all too common that VNs go on indefinite hiatus and I don't want to assume that. (those situations suck but are completely valid)
