since i assume talking about itch.io games is alright here, does anyone know if A Tale Of Crowns is close to being updated? or what the status of that game is at all? it got semi-regular updates every 5-6 months until august last year, and it hasn't been updated since. im not worried about it being abandoned, since the author still updates their patreon and such with side stories and all that, but i am curious about the main game

The latest update post I was able to find on the Tumblr blog was from April, and from what I understand progress reports are Patreon-only.
Side-note: I personally heavily dislike the practice of locking progress reports behind a paywall, like I can get this for the extra content, but for progress reports? Alright, you don't wanna make it as detailed as the paid version, just write a couple lines of text instead smth

oh yeah, i agree 100%. i think standard practice should be to at least write a short update post when necessary, even if you want to keep a longer, more detailed version behind a paywall. well, thanks anyways! i was thinking about joining their discord or something, but the fact that i have to do that sort of thing to have the chance to find out anything about the game's progress when they're more than fine with putting up patreon previews on tumblr is... a choice

from what i remember, she got a lot of hate and criticism for X sleeping around while trying to pursue the MC (a lot of people were just kinda disappointed in that even tho that was X's "unhealthy coping mechanism") and when people tried to explain their opinions, she just shut them down
and since then she just kinda disappeared from tumblr, she answeres some asks from time to time and she reblogs????? stuff but no progress reports whatsoever
recently she also got an ask about Kurdish culture (which the game is based on) and this person was very racist and disrespectful to which she replied that "the authors are easily accessible" and that's why they get a lot of hate comments, criticism and stuff like that
so based on that i don't think that she wants to involve herself in the community, that's why the progress reports are behind a paid wall

Not trying to be offensive here but those people that criticise her also got a point. X is reluctant to sleep with MC (someone she knows well for a short time) and basically discarded MC to sleep with a stranger (farmer's son or daughter if I remember correctly) that they just met like last afternoon.

As a player I could understand the frustration. However as an author, I know she planned X as a char that sleeps around, and I think it should be handled better rather than belittled her readers.

I have... opinions on AToC. It feels like the author has a very rigid vision of how the game should be, and isn't taking kindly to ideas that diverge from it. Example: high and low romance routes. That depend on picking the dialogue options that the author considers to be "correct". And none of this is explained in the game itself.
So you either think like the author or suffer.

the author should've just written a novel instead, if she couldn't take criticisms and suggestions with an open and calm mind.
if X still hasn't shown any character development up until now (chapter 11), i'm a bit skeptical they would be a proper LI until the end of the story (just my two cents).
