I'm sure the dev knows very well what game brings in the big bucks, but they have fallen back on the classic "burn out" excuse to justify spending time not developing OnlyHer.

For anyone who hasn't read that Patreon post and didn't read between the lines:
- The developer is tired of developing OnlyHer, and is really more into the themes of The Apex, another of their projects.

They just didn't want to outright say this to their fans, because why else would someone become burnt out by focusing on developing a single project to completion, am I right?
I don't think you're wrong, but I'm still not quite willing to go that hard. It ties into what I said earlier, that a full rework of OnlyHer starting when this thread, not the game was a bit over 2 years old, was quite a goal to set himself.

I can see him starting that with more honest intentions than realistic expectations, and getting burnt out.

But it's totally possible you're exactly right and I'm too forgiving. I partly defended the Star Wars prequels on a 1st date once.

In my opinion OnlyHer didn't need to be completely reworked rn. He should have continued the story and game first so it was at least at the minimum finished before deciding to rework it. That way fans could still play the game and enjoy without feeling put on hold for a different game. Then he could have reworked the game at his leisure without pressure from fans asking about it. Maybe some people didn't like the current story flow (creator included), but I would much rather continue the story than get reworked scenes I've already seen. On top of that while working on a new game? Seems like a quick way to get burnt out for sure.

may

maybe if we all become patreons he will update quicker View attachment 4527576
fr, this game should be tagged as abandoned. and to be honest, any game that hasnt been updated for at least 6 months should be atomatically tagged as abandoned. the dev doesnt give a shit about this game anymore. hes just milking his patreons (kinda reminds me of dr.bones). he still have more than 40 active patreons.
the game had a lot of potential, but it was all flushed away
lets all accept that the game is dead

I like this game but i am not paying for it wich sounds like a good choice right now and you guys just made my case. Always the same thing : oh i'm so tired, oh life is sooo hard, oh i am soo sick... Well people pays for mediocre quality so i think those kind of developers are the smarter ones... getting fat on your dimes for little to no work.
This wonderfull industry that wants money before delivering a finished product.

Just played this and I have to say the redone intro is much better than the sandbox part. I wonder if the sanbox will be remade too?

Otherwise, the fmc is hot, and barista woman is ok, but the dudes look really weird, like they are women crossdressing as men. I say redo them all, and ditch the kid and the landlord.

It's been close to a year since this game was last updated and the developers other game hasn't gone anywhere either. Radio silence on Patreon.

I see an abandon tag coming. Unfortunately...

The plan was to rework the sandbox portion next as well along with updated storylines for each character. Last we heard from the dev is that he's burned out on the game and there will be no updates forthcoming any time soon since his other game is supposedly prioritized first for the next update. He also said he's working more at his real job and seems like he's trying to find a balance with other things in his life. Sadly, it's been radio silent from the dev on all fronts for the entire year so far...

Regarding your latter thoughts (whether I agree with them or not) is very much "each to their own" for each player. Some players like them and some don't. Thankfully, you can avoid certain characters and not "advance" their plots if you really don't want to see them. ;)

That's possible, but none of the criterias to apply the Abandoned tag applies for this thread as of yet. However, this one -- quoted below -- is certainly creeping up on it.
After 3 months of inactivity from the developer's public creator/crowdfunding accounts (Patreon, SS, etc), we will resolve special circumstances or scenarios on a case-by-case basis (no creator accounts, creators developing for free, Patreon accounts under review/ban).
Hopefully we'll get some news before then though.
