wont happen cuz the original creator has long since left. Was really strange the way it happened too... The game was getting updated consistently and then out of nowhere, instead of continuing updates to the main story, the dev created some weird lesbian/furry side stories for the main character Angelica that nobody was into. He put out a poll asking if he should do more side stories or just continue the main game, and after everyone asked for main game updates he got ass mad and implied his work wasn't appreciated and decided to take a "break" from updates. Then months went by with no updates, his twitter had everything related to the game removed, and became a giant wall of sketchy crypto currency advertisments.

Then some guy named "Slappy" came around saying he was the dev's good friend posting from the old dev's main account, and he was going to continue the game for him, and he had a bunch of people on his team to help with renders, writing, etc. etc. He claimed updates would be pushed out like "a well oiled machine". In the old dev's discord, he was in there promoting how he wanted to focus on bringing new midget characters into the game and other weird fetish shit that has nothing to do with the original game. He also would go on these essay long skitzo posts about how he has like 10 kids, 2 wives, and 5 girlfriends that he has to provide for and how the game itself was loosely based off of his life, amongst a myriad of other strange things. He always had a weird excuse for why there had been no progress on the game whatsoever.

The whole story for how things played out with this game is so fucking weird. I feel like either Saruh (the original dev) got hacked by this Slappy guy and he's just been trying to milk any money that he can from the players, or the original dev has some crazy mental/personality disorder where he is now living as his altar ego "Slappy", or he just got scammed by crypto traders and gave the game away to one of his supporters. Either way, this guy took over the game years ago at this point, and its never received an update and there's never been any show of progress towards one. This game's dead for good.

Nailed it! It's so weird. Slappy being like hey guys I havent had time to make an update as I'm a CEO of apple and with seven wives im busy. Even the weird poll about a crappy song to go in the game and he was like oh i know the band so we could maybe get this song :LOL: Id love to find out what actually happened. I remember the weird midget vibes and new characters on discord too it was fucking wild

Guy who made renders for new project and posted them in fanart thread said there was an attempt to continue back in the day. It sounded like it got to ambitious or something, and nobody could agree how to proceeed. It happens.

This game was doomed, the moment the Dev decided to divide it up into ten different routes. He was never going to complete that satisfactorily working on his own, and it was a pretty stupid decision, because most of the planned routes held little interest for the vast majority of players.

He tried to be all things to all people, and that's usually a fatal error, when making these types of games, with limited resources and time. You have to choose a route or a few routes, and go with that, and if it doesn't satisfy everyone, well it's too bad. Anything else is just madness, and that's basically where we ended up. So no big surprise, this game ultimately went the way of the Dodo.

If anyone does come back to complete this game. They need to scrap the 10 route plan, and continue with a simpler, more limited format. Just work out which route or routes most people want and pursue those instead. At the moment it doesn't seem very likely, but you never know? People have returned to continue other games, that appeared to be long dead. So perhaps if we're exceptionally lucky, that might happen? This was a game I enjoyed playing, and it ended, just when it appeared to be getting really good.
