For fucks sake, there's plenty of games that cater to almost any kink. No need to try and force someone who doesn't want to cater to that kink to try and cater to it. That kind of thing will only end up being shit for everyone. Fucking hell that person must be absolute moron for not realizing that.

I see some speculation about things, so I'll clear it up as best as I can. This will be my last post on this site as I've already abandoned my discord.
I've had issues with this guy from nearly the beginning of development. He initially wanted me to add NTR (specifically netorare) content for Glasha, I said no. I have no interest in creating that content, and it wouldn't make any sense for her character at all. He got pissy about it. He later came back and sent me some DM's about how I should just do what he wants since I'm already "ripping off Talothral". Keep in mind, this is like 2 years ago or something after 0.2 release.
Since then, he occasionally came back to DM me some random complaint or bullshit. I viewed him as annoying but harmless. I eventually ended up banning him from the first discord because he kept spam asking for NTR content. When I created the second one, I didn't even think to ban him because I hadn't had any interaction with him for months.
The other day, I was talking to someone in discord, and I meant to post a picture of the amount that a pc repair place wanted to fix my graphics card here in Japan. I accidentally chose the wrong photo and posted a selfie that my wife sent me of herself and the kids. I don't think it was up that long, but however long it was, it was enough. I guess he saw his time to shine, and he used that one photo to track down a ton of my personal shit. Social media profiles, old photos, photos of my kids, my old work on twine games, my parents and sister's address. It was a lot of stuff.
Anyway, I don't know much about the guy other than he is a member of Talothral's server. I doubt he has any connection at all to Talothral, other than joining his server. For all I know, he might be harassing him too. I don't know as I don't remember ever having any interaction with Talothral. I also really can't understand how or why he's held onto this grudge for so long. It's way beyond petty, it's psychotic. He hasn't threatened me or my family physically, only to expose us and report this all to my wife's job, which could very well lead to her getting fired.
Either way, this ruined things for me. It's sucked all the fun out of things, especially because I've tried to be kind to everyone I interacted with. Making some fun porn isn't worth the harrassement. Sorry I couldn't finish the game. I doubt I'll hang around the VN space anymore, much less develop something. You can consider this officially abandoned. Once again, I appreciate all your guys who I had positive interactions with, but I can't risk my family's livelihood and wellbeing for a hobby.
Anyway, you guys take care.

Sad to hear that someone became so obsessed with you and this whole thing. While i will be saddened that we won't be seeing this game finished, i do understand why you won't be continuing. I wish you and your family all the best and hopefully this lunatic will get their karmic come uppance.

Man, that's really fucked. The few interactions we had were respectful and pleasant. It's not just the internet, but the world in general, where I even find myself sometimes slipping into willful ignorance of how fucked up people can be. Like I don't pick up hitchhikers, but, must've been close to a year ago now I saw some dude walking on the side of the highway just outside of town and for a brief moment felt bad for the dude, put myself in their shoes; before immediately reminding myself that I'm missing context and that dude could be a deranged psychopath. Dude might have actually just been in a bad spot, but it's easy to put how unhinged people can be to the back of your mind, I feel.
It's a real shame this is officially on ice, and that we won't get to see him move on to further projects down the road either. It's unlikely he even checks back in at this point, but if you do, take care of yourself bud.

This is pretty crappy. Sorry for BHG. I think being a dev of AVN games is hardly worth it any more, honestly. There are just too many complainers, the scene is 80% toxic, whether complaining about lack of progress, claiming devs are milking even if they stop their patreon, or complaining about existing content, and even complaining about content that isn't in the game. It never ends as those of us that hang around here know. Nobody is more entitled than AVN fans.
I just don't think it is worth it any more for most devs. That is why most games end up on hold or abandoned. Way too much work, for too little reward, and all you get is shit on by the supposed "fans" of the game.
I wish you all the best Black Hand / Rusty. Nobody around here would expect anything different than just forgetting about all the heartache and doing something else with your time. Just watch Netflix, play other people games, etc. Like you said, the moment it stops being fun anymore, its time to stop.

FWIW (nothing, as a complete internet rando) I really enjoyed your work and I'm sorry you came into the crosshairs of a psychotic degenerate. Take care and hopefully the rest of your life remains free of assholes like this.
If you think about it, in some twisted way the dev withholding NTR form the stalker is actually then NTR in real life? The stalker could only watch and get game cucked and didnt get what he wanted?
I know it sounds like im joking but to me it seems like some psychological game.
Still it's such a shame for the dev that he has to deal with this.

That's.. really sad. Sucks to hear that you're packing it in but I can understand that. Go to the police btw, regardless of anything else what you're describing seems a whole lot like blackmail - that tends to be illegal regardless of where you are.
It's sad but I hope you can someday feel more comfortable and safe. Personally, I would say don't give af about this but truthfully I haven't experienced something like this so it be wrong. Tho, if you wish to return and continue this game again someday. We will be by your side but I understand that it's very unlikely considering the bs you had to go through (including your health and the stalker bs). Anyway, thank you for giving us more insights on the situation. It will hopefully give some people closures who were still waiting for the updates including me. Sadly, another cuck ruined a good game for us because of his petty Ntr cuckfetish.

There are only a handful of scum in the world but the internet makes them your neighbors. Fingers crossed that it all works out for the dev and their family.

Goddamn there are some fucking mentally ill twats that have to ruin things for everyone else.
As one of your long-term subscribers, I'm genuinely upset and sorry to hear about what has happened to you and your family. I will continue to miss the world and story you created and hope you will return to it one day. Until then, I hope life treats you well.

Well.... fuck.
No more best green girls.
I really hope the assclown in question falls down an upgoing escalator... just keep tumbling at the bottom in a stained mess.

I am SO sorry that this has happened to you! What this person is doing to you and yours is SO wrong! Personally, I think I would have made the same decision. Maybe you can reach out to another dev that might be interested in continuing your story. Give them plot point you wanted to do, that way your awesome VN doesn't have to die and you can watch your creation grow from the sideline. Just an idea...
I hope for all the best and who ever this dirtbag is will leave you and your family alone. Good luck!
