Hopefully this isn't truly abandoned, but I'm happy to see this site take a more proactive stance toward labeling projects abandoned in a timely fashion. Now we just need them to reduce the 18-month limit to get marked as abandoned down to 9–12 months without an update, regardless of word from the developer.

well, I'm not a big fan of the abandoned tag in case of updates, it's a little bit misleading. Maybe something like "extreme slow update" would be better. There is always the chance that for some reasons the Dev can't deliver and really needs a longer cycle (maybe limited to "one time only" on decision of the mods). But this idea needs some discussion elsewhere and not in this (sexnote) thread.

I think the abandoned tag is applied when the game doesnt have a update for 18 months or when the developer disappears for 4 months. I'm not going to check his discord, but both his patreon and twitter are radio silent rn

We have ON HOLD tag?
In my book the "on hold" tag is a funny tag, lets look at the rules:
used for a developer who temporarily stops working on a game for whatever reason and makes a clear public statement about it, if they do not resume work in 6 months the prefix is changed to Abandoned
so let's do an example: i develop a game, have problems, write a public statement and get the "on hold" tag. i have 6 month to resolve the problem, if not resolved after 6 month i get the "abandoned" tag. The phrase "resume work" is not clear: do i need to make only an statement i have resumed the work ? If a statement is enough then i could get additional 18 month to upload an update. Or are the 6 month included in the 18 month "abandoned" rule ? If the later why do i need the "on hold" tag? I could spend direct the 18 month to solve the matter.

it's 3 month and there is also silence in discord (in free section, don't have a patron account anymore)

"if the dev doesn't resume work in 6 months" i think it's safe to assume that "resume work" means releasing an update in that period of time, not a communicate... But usually the abandoned tag it's put there because of a report

yes, that would be logical but then whats the benefit? Telling about problems and get 6 month before "abandoned" tag or keep silence about the delay and get 18 month before "abandoned" ?

abandoned? since when tho..?
I havent check in awhile, just for the updates.

Edit: last update was Jan'2024.
so damn, 4 months hiatus and it's abandoned..? lol
y'all hv no patience like summertime saga lmao
I have no idea what the criteria is for the abandoned label but its not just the four months since an update. Its 4 months without the dev saying basically anything anywhere on either game, and before the last update it was the same thing for ~5 months.
