just wondering how long these visual novels go before they are deemed abandoned?

The developer of "White Cube" released updates every 3-4 months. This year there was a delay of a couple of months and the game immediately received the "Abandoned" tag.

From the uploading rules:

Abandoned: used in the following cases:
  • The developer states that the development has been permanently suspended.
  • 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).
  • No game update has been released for an abnormally long period of time (>18 months).
  • Game threads that are marked On-hold for over 6 months with no game update.
  • Note: this prefix is only removed upon the release of a new update for purchase/download.

Ocean hasn't been inactive on his accounts (fortnightly devlogs are activity), so it's 18 months from the last update, which the site registered, so for SG it's November before it would apply (thread was updated with the steam release).

Other devs go radio silent between releases, and get the abandoned tag between releases, simply because there's no sign of public life. Once a release is uploaded, back to normal here.

Pretty disappointed that story hasn't progressed in so long.....Like why so much rework when you haven't even fully build the story yet?

What accounts are you talking about? Ocean doesn't have an account on this site and doesn't appear here at all, and the logs are copied by fans from Discord.

Ocean's patreon, SS and discord accounts. Did you fully read my post? I quoted the rules of this site in case people didn't know. Here it is again:

Abandoned: used in the following cases:
  • The developer states that the development has been permanently suspended.
  • 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).
  • No game update has been released for an abnormally long period of time (>18 months).

What reworks do to a mf...

Who cares about SG right now though? The update for the #1 game should be keeping people busy for the next couple of weeks at least.

Before DIK was updated, I would have guessed WiAB in April... But the way things are going it should be in June.

And with all due respect to Ocean fans, DIK is much more complex to make than SG and WiAB.
