This might be a controversial opinion—but, the timing of Atemsiel's return (coinciding with itch's de-indexing and subsequent re-indexing of nsfw games) stinks.

I can't help but feel like they are just trying to continue milking their patreon supporters. And I am saying this as someone who hopes for the continued development of this game.

If he had IRL problems, I think the very least he could have done was to inform the people who were financially supporting development instead of leading them on and misleading supporters to think that an update is imminent.

As it stands, I find it very difficult to want to to support the developer. I hope Atemsiel can be more consistent in the future or, at the very least, more transparent in terms of communication 

A decade is simply a period of 10 years. The word 'decade' itself does not have any inherent positional meaning. Ergo, your understanding of the word is incorrect. The start of a 10-year period is in fact year 0. The 10th year would mark the end of that decade; not the start.

That said, I don’t believe there’s anything more I can add that would change your perspective. So I’ll leave things here

Apologies for reviving an old thread, but your argument here is incorrect. They are not saying that she is nearly 4 decades old. Instead, they are saying she is "nearly in" or in other words about to start her fourth decade (which begins the moment a person hits age 30). If they meant to say that she was almost 40 years old, the sentence would be more along the lines of: "nearly at the end of your fourth decade".

You are focusing too much on what a decade is and missing the context of the entire sentence

I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. Considering the fact  the developer had originally hoped to release an update late May last year, and the fact that they've been radio silent for weeks if not months on end. Also, as far as I can tell, most of these recent updates are coming from the discord admin rather than the developer itself, so it is hearsay at best.

I think most people supporting the dev will tell you that the game is still being developed. That being said, there have been some red flags from the developer (in my opinion).

The keyword here is "nearly in", that is to say nearly starting her fourth decade. Once you reach 30, you have 'finished' living  for 3 decades and you start your fourth. It's kinda like how we are in the 21st century even though the 2000s, relatively speaking, just started and it is no where near the year 2100 yet. Semantics, i know, but thats just how english works sometimes

Edit: also, its troubling that people are starting to rely on ai for trivial matters like this. It's like giving up on thinking all together and asking someone to just hand you the answer

Besides, GenAI is in and of itself not infallible and there is always a non zero chance that it they generate a wrong answer

if you have ever seen ai generated images/artworks you know what i mean
