The SwanEye devs tried launching another brand (DarkSwan, focused on games with a darker and edgier tones), and even an Iphone app brand (iSwan, which released all-ages card games featuring their heroines), but it looks like nothing could make the bank they needed to keep producing pregnancy games.
The last game they made with a big pregnancy focus was HaraPara, published not by SwanEye but by their parent "Swan" brand.
HaraPara (as you might know) is more or less a fandisc for their other works, and was touted as a "return to form" for the devs, literally and figuratively.
Literally in that the main heroines of HaraPara are all taken from earlier SwanEye games (and from Himekoi, the second Swaneye+ game).
Figuratively in that pregnancy and love-comedy make their return as a main focus- all the heroine routes feature (non-animated) pregnant sprites, and feature animated and non-animated pregnant scenes.
What's more... I might be reading too much into this, but...
-None of the heroines they chose to appear in the game are married heroines or previously married heroines (so no focus on Hitozuma).
-Some of the heroines who had... let's say, less than consensual scenes in their original games all get /fully/ consensual scenes for HaraPara (so no "Dark" content).
It kinda feels like they were making up for the content which wasn't true to their "brand" as Swan and Swaneye.
But... as much as it was called a return to form, the devs might also have known it was a farewell. For the first time in any Swan game, they make the main character literally YOU. Not just a character named "Yuu" but the literal personal pronoun "Ore" (which is what men usually use when they refer to themselves); you are playing the game as yourself.
And then... spoiler warning: throughout the game you get "helped" by the fairy assistant Marinu, who is very clearly Mari Aihara, a side heroine from Haramin who somehow became the mascot for the entire SwanEye brand.
