If the dev was an old JAVA dev that started the dev process in Godot, then got stumped for some reason.. I could see moving to Java. That's really the only reason that I could see doing that.Moving to Godot at least in theory makes sense, why tf would someone move a game TO Java
In this specific instance though the devs should just finish the game in whatever garbage engine it started in and then start a new project.

Checking in on this game after what feels like forever. I see we have learned nothing from Duke Nukem Forever.

Did the steam release ever get dropped or the bugfix for sister of the abbey cause I've got an ok pc and i'm struggling to run this more than cyberpunk
I think it makes no sense to transfer the game to godot. If the developers reached an impasse on java, then it made sense to try unity, where there is a fairly large community, but not this
I suspect their goal is to use godot's built in scenes and controllers rather than relying on their own custom-coded stuff, but they're a good seven years late on coming to that decision.
Is this game actually abandoned? It seems to be getting some progress reports on the steam page

No they're remaking it in Godot, so not abandoned, but down for maintenance for like a while
WTF, I didn't know that, only played it once, did everything I could and was waiting for the game to finish to come back to it, can you send screenshots from a character in all art styles ?
They have changed the engine 3 times, and I think the artwork twice already: 1st was Flash, if I'm not wrong, then switched to Java, now they have switched again to Godot, and now are using AI to "enhance" (read it as create, because is highly probably that the artist is ditching / dropping out of the project) the artwork
They have paper images drawn up in there discord so i highly doubt the AI ART idea.
I said this once about another, allegedly abandoned product (like a month before it updated, grab your copium), but people are so quick on the draw to call literally any change in art style AI, when what they actually mean is that they don't like it. This game has been in development hell, and the only reason why everyone and their grandmother is crying scam is because they haven't seen development hell for themselves and have weened themselves on instant gratification over here.

While I agree with people are too quick to call things a scam, I will say that the game isn't getting enough funding where it matters most, and that's why it's stuck in development hell. The dev really needs to resist the urge to update the art every year. There has to be diminishing returns each time they do it, what with fancier art costing more money and people losing their patience.
Should've remade it a lot sooner.
Haven't played a version of this that didn't start to completely bug out in the first hour or so.

I use to be a backer on patreon, I BOUGHT the game on steam. When there is a new news I post it, the last 3 updates from the devs are as follows. 10/21/22, 1/10/24, and 3/30/24 its 10/10/24 how long before we get ANOTHER dev log at minimum. I don't really care if it takes a long time to finish but at least tell people whats going on instead of giving radio silence.
