I'll be waiting patiently for the next update! I don't blame you for prioritizing your life over this, your future matters! And anyone who thinks otherwise is selfish, just know I'm always following you, so I'll wait till I see that notification on the update, hope your life goes well!
It's been literal YEARS since this was last updated, you guys really think that if the devs supposedly "starts working on it" again (they won't), that this shit is going to be a good visual novel?
It's a bit presumptuous to say that they WON'T be working on it since only the devs know if they will or not. For many people still checking up on this, I'm sure it's not because it's "good" but because people still care about something that hardly ever had time to gain traction before things started happening.
Oh yeah, they took a break alright, for literal YEARS, the last build was released way back in 2021, and guess what? They kept the game's Patreon up all these years without releasing a single build ANYWHERE, and that's just the scummiest thing I've ever seen.
So, with that being said, where did all the money go? Because it sure as hell didn't go to developing the game, otherwise we would have had an update by now. The devs are using the Patreon money on anything BUT the game, you know, the thing the Patreon was created for!
I'm not saying that the devs taking a break on the game will reduce the quality when it comes back, I'm saying that the devs didn't do shit while the hiatus was going, they didn't do jack shit AND used all the money on other stuff!
Actually, I pause the Patreon Monthly to ensure existing patrons don't get charged. But I suppose it might've been less scummy to just shut it down? But that felt like a statement that the project was over, and I guess I've just tried being optimistic. It's also arguably been more work; I accidentally failed to pause the Patron one month and had to go through the work of refunding folks.
I've been trying to put little bits of work here and there on the game between working a full-time job, schooling, and trying to manage my physical and mental health between various family incidents like the loss of relatives and other accidents that have required my support.
Any Patreon money has gone towards hiring my various artists for additional assets and work all this time, polishing things for shading, or getting UI elements completed. (But again, there really isn't any, because I pause it before the start of each month, so the existing patrons don't see a re-charge.)
I've not made another itch post because while I've finished school, I'm still juggling the choice to pursue a Master's because this is supposed to be a hobby, in addition to supporting my parents who are going through a rough time, and I still don't have a clear line of when the next build will be done and don't want to promise a date that I'm unsure if I can meet. Every time I draft the next post, I feel horrible, because I feel like I've let the people who enjoy what I was producing down, and the most I can say is I'm putting in the work when I can. Which is what I already said last time.
Anyway, I can't expect folks to know what's happening in my personal life because I haven't posted here in a hot minute, so that isn't your fault. I'll be sure to draft a proper post tomorrow with proper updates. Thanks for your support. <3
Edit: I also shouldn't have responded the moment I woke up, but I don't appreciate folks stating myself to be scummy when I truly want to believe that isn't the case. I'm just trying to get through life same as anyone and trying to allocate time for this when I can, despite my schedule not being as free as when I was in a forced quarantine.
Not trying to have a go at you specifically here, but I’m seeing a lot of users complaining about how long this project is taking. Please remember that none of the people working on this project have any kind of obligation to us; we have been able to enjoy what exists of this amazing VN so far completely free of charge. From what I gather, the lead dev has had a plethora of personal, project related and educational matters to attend to over the last few years, all of which have contributed to the wait. I understand that people want to continue playing this VN, but quite frankly I think the snide remarks and backhanded jokes are unjustified. They clearly plan on picking it back up, so I’m more than happy to leave it at that and wait patiently for the next update, whenever it may come. Besides, I’d much rather they focus their efforts on pursuing their own personal goals than on writing something for my enjoyment, and I don’t expect them to have to justify that decision or explain in detail what they’ve been doing to me or anybody else. Again, this wasn’t directed at you specifically, it’s just something I’ve been noticing for a while that has progressively been getting on my wick.
I get that, but it’s obvious from the updates we have been given that this project wasn’t abandoned for no reason, and it’s clear than Rook intends to get back to it. They’ve had personal things to attend to. Why do we need any more information than that? If nothing has changed then there’s nothing more to be updated on anyways. Your comment wasn’t too bad in fairness, but if you scroll through the comments there are loads of people who are just being kinda disrespectful.
Bro just posted an art piece with the caption, "Happy Holidays from the PsyCon crew. The boys are excited to get back to school and get things back on track, but until then, enjoy this festive piece done by the lovely @Mustache_Mutt"
I hope Shiuk is still on board after he pulled out being the artist for violet memoir, last thing this vn needs is for the artist to be to busy to work on it after it died for so long.
Appears that the lead developer was getting a Bachelor’s. From their socials and what others are saying it seems like it’s going to resume, and it lines up pretty well too because it takes around 3-4 years to get a Bachelors I believe.

Is anyone noticing this post saying "Update Version here " with a link. Take precarious because this is appearing in other vn's comment section.

they literally went to college lmao calm down why would taking a break on the game reduce the quality when they come back?

I'm just saying it would be nice to have an update post about if the VN is still going or such the last time they posted was *two* years ago lol.

Psychic connections back on the menu, boys!
I hope Shiuk is still on board after he pulled out being the artist for violet memoir, last thing this vn needs is for the artist to be to busy to work on it after it died for so long.
i spoke with him recently, he is still on the project
Just updated on their twitter page: the lead dev just got his Bachelor's Degree, so bro's definitely gonna be working a lot more on this.
Game ain't dead, bro just had to get that degree
Yayyyyyyy
proof please.
the official twitter page doesn't show that update at all.
Can't speak to the degree but there was a post on the main twitter account for the VN that makes it sound like they're getting back to working on it.
