It's complete but not complete. There's enough content for a few hours, if you really take your time. The devs said they would continue to release content as DLCs, and they're taking a veryyyyyyyyy long time to release something new, using every excuse in the book. Hence the abandoned tag.

Your question was already answered
Anything beyond this you are just asking us to mind read what the devs are thinking at this point.
Besides what difference does it make, just assume its abandoned. If there is an update then its a win, if not you don't get disappointed. Need a conclusive answer? Go look at the

That's not true. I asked if the game was complete, which he answered. Not if it was abandoned. Plus, that last bit was just a joke. You ain't gotta mind read or anything. I'm good. I think I got my answer.
You gotta remember we're all friends here and on the same team, homie.

"abandoned" according to f95 is just 4 months without any news from the devs. But Aurora Games usually have longer update periods than that. So it is not really abandoned. They mentioned last year:
I'm unsure if they meant the game modules will be completed by Q2, or if they were referring to mass production. It's also unclear if that means an update will be released by Q2.
But still, I don't consider it abandoned.
Just make it clear, it's 3 months without a public platform post. However, in this case, the overriding rule of 18 months without a game build applies = hardcore Abandoned prefix counts and it doesn't matter what the dev posts now.
Maybe they are working on it, but we can't play with promises. Proof instead of promises.

Unless an update actually comes it should stay abandoned, regardless of what anyone says.

tbh no1 really knows the answer
but the devs are either a bunch of lazy workers or plain scammers
so i'm guessing they're just taking their time to work on the updates (this is what happens to cheap devs)
ofc they could have updated the game little by little but i think they're just planning on a full release at this rate
we'll see on the promised date but i wouldn't put my hopes up

Jeez... I can't get angry with these guys. They are selling the game very cheap and not making a shitload of money on patreon.
What really annoys me are those who earn over $10,000 a month to make simple Visual Novels. Even worse are studios like Project Helius and WildLife, they are making nearly $100,000 monthly (yes, one HUNDRED thousand) while failing to meet expectations. They are draining massive amounts of money from this market while simultaneously damaging the reputation of adult games, making it harder for genuinely passionate developers to thrive.

We don't know their work hours or how much money they have left from the youtuber coverage boom. If they work 8h/d it's for sure massive waste going on, or no real "vision". If they are low on funds and have to take a normal job and then work on the game, I would say its not that bad. But as we don't know we have no clue what camp they land in. Not to mention the very clear feature creep they display in their yearly updates. Adding that train, for example, was super bad. Not a asked-for feature, not a promised one, and only adds to the dev time a shit ton.
yeah its really bad with them, making 10K is not that much, as you need to pay for a location, taxes (business taxes) and other fees, so after that, you only really have money left to like 2-5 people depending on where you live. Maybe more if its a really cheap country, but I think they are EU so not on the lowest end. However, with 100K you can easily get like 20-30 people. That should make it so they can speed up story stuff real quick. Like in one year, they should be able to at least make one quest chain with a playtime of at least 1h. And that includes assets for the game. Seems they have hired almost only artists with very few of the other roles needed for a game and then pocketing the rest for those that are there.
Even Steam finally putting to rest since the last Dev update since some feel putting out a announcement constitutes an update.
Note: The last update made by the developers was over 2 years ago. The information and timeline described by the developers here may no longer be up to date.

This is a new feature that every EA game gets, after X-time (I think 12 months) it auto-adds itself to the text. Its simply there to warn users it's been a while since the last playable update and they should have the info to make an informed decision before buying. Nothing more, nothing less. Steam did this to make an even better case, in case someone sued for some dumb reason. The more stuff they have that warns users, the more they can just point "look they dumb" and dismiss court cases early, saving them money while also looking like a good guy to the consumers for adding more good info. It's just a win-win for them to add it.
Just a quick question, I forgot that I downloaded this game a couple of years ago, and just left it on a shelf, lol. I was about to get it from Steam when I remembered this, but checking the Steam page, it seems there was an update some time ago? I noticed the build version listed here is 8318119, but my archive file says "TOGETHER_BnB_v03.4_Build_8395070". I don't even recall where I got this from, but are these actually different builds does anyone know?

not fully sure how steam builds are named, but most likely just a minor patch difference. like "fixed clipping through wall" kind of patch. unless you got 0.2, it should be just some minor thing.
Any Early Access game that takes longer than 12 months to put out any type of update needs to be taken off of Steam if the game is being sold for money. No effin excuse for a game to go longer than 12 months without an update of any kind that can be played by the players themselves. Why so many people tried to act as if Aurora Games Development articles were updates all along were actual updates was fan bois-ish. Trying to make rhyme or reason for any company that handles their business like Aurora Games has these past 3 years is comical.
