Rekt
As you guys are already aware, the game is unfortunately discontinued.
Me and coder-dude never really got along very well and there was a lot of internal drama and difficulties. Our mutual problems only intensified after releasing, to the point where I decided to break it off instead of stringing people along for a troubled ride. I'm afraid It was extremely likely that the game would eventually meet a similar end even if I hadn't.
As far as reasons go, there were a ton. One of the bigger ones was that I never had any definite control over our platforms like Patreon and Discord as per coder-bro's initial insistence. I didn't have final say over deadlines and strategy, despite the fact I was in charge of almost everything aside from coding. We had ton of differences, my irl situation was always quite shitty, and it looked like more coding might start to fall on my plate due to stuff on the coder's side. Thus the project strayed further and further into unsustainable territory.
I'm no saint in all of it, as I'm quite the amateur in game development and I jumped in half cocked to make something overly ambitious. I wanted to make an idealized RPGmaker FeMC game liberated from the mechanical and visual constraints of RPGmaker. I made a lot of compromises towards that goal and this is the unfortunate result. At the end of the day, I take full responsibility for what happened. In hindsight, even under ideal circumstances I would have still struggled to pull this off well. Not giving up, but I guess it's going to be a slow route.
To any Patrons that are lurking around, coder-dude dissolved the channel and patreon immediately after the team broke up, so we couldn't give you guys much of a heads-up. You can find all the art I made for the next update over

+ some derpy sketches for future stuff. I urge you to contact me at
pureguyart@gmail.com for refunds - I never intended to scam anyone with the millionth vaporware patreon project. Feel free to write me up and shoot any complaints or questions my way.
Keep in mind that it's quite likely Cyra's Cove could yet live in some form. I'll be working on a smaller games and learning the ropes, but I want to eventually continue this project. I'll keep working on assets for it on the side, and I'm considering starting a series of captioned CG sets with Cyra's hijinks, along with those of game's secondary girls that never got made. Considering my current track record, I'd urge everyone to be skeptical towards supporting my upcoming shit, but do keep an eye out. As far as I'm concerned, what I make should always be available for free, and if it isn't I'd be happy to look the other way in case people want to help themselves to a torrent or mega.
To all patrons, fans, or skeptical onlookers, thanks you for the support and attention. Sorry I fucked up, but I'll try to make it right and pump out some good stuff.
