I’m not counting on our reputation or past work. What really matters is the result we’ll achieve with the new game. I couldn’t care less about my reputation or what people think — if I make a good game and keep the updates coming, then honestly, what else matters?
I’m not trying to prove anything with words. There’s no point. If the game sucks, people won’t support it. If it’s good, they will.
We made Alvein from scratch, and we never really made any serious money from it. It was always a passion project. Like I’ve said before, my artist earns way more working solo.
The new game is a spiritual successor to Alvein. If you liked Alvein, you’ll probably like what we’re working on now — maybe even more. Alvein had a lot of flaws and things we didn’t do right, and we’re fixing that this time around.
We’re not abandoning Alvein or throwing everything in the trash. It’s more like one project evolving into something else. Same creators, same heart behind it. So don’t worry about someone else’s project, and no need to give us advice. We’ve thought this through for a long time, and it wasn’t an easy decision to start something new. Don’t assume we just gave up and didn’t consider options like switching to SS or whatever.
