Appreciate the civil tone on the topic. I don't think there's anything I could say now that hasn't been said already that would convince those who are not yet convinced by the remake.
For me, the remake is just a better Visual Novel. It has better art, better writing, better story planning, better animations and it's just more fun to work on.
I could have kept patching and hacking my way through it but I think I would have gotten frustrated sooner or later. It wasn't an easy decision to make, and I certainly fucked up a few things along the way... but that's there and we are here now.
Writing quality is subjective, of course, but I put a ton of effort into character development rather than just racing to the "action scenes".
I didn't start this cuz I wanted to make some money. I didn't even knew people were making money off this shit

I just wanted to do something fun to try the tech with a story concept I had. Different times.
Now I am taking it more seriously, within the free time I have available. We will get to the good stuff, and in a better shape compared to the OG.
