It's a brand new story, and everyone is still related. Its just the plot that's different. As for the other game, Im sure they'd save their prior work were that an option. It must not be. And yes, Patreon was the issue. You can search the thread for their replies, which explain much of this, using the search function at the top of the pageI have a few questions, I've looked around and didn't see them answered. If I missed them, then that's my bad.
First off, I'd like to ask what the difference between the original and this game. I recall there being a mother character and a sister character. Some other love interests here and there's a focus on school and family life. By "different context" do you mean they are no longer related? Or that we get MORE people MC is related to?
Second, why remake it? If you got banned on patreon because of it's content, why remake it in the first place? Subscribestar has no problems with the content that was banned on Patreon. Or was this just a good incentive to do a remake and fix the possible mistakes made in development of the first game?
Third, this is for Whiteleaf Studio directly: I DM'd you on these forums, you've yet to respond D:
Have a fantastic day!
Also, work is going fast, Whiteleaf. I approve; keep it up!
