Hello,
I will try to keep it short.
Thank you to everyone for the kind messages and support.
Bottom line: I am either going to start over or not continue at all.
I just feel like 3/4 of the game was made rushed/without planning and resulted in:
Unlikeable MC
Bad renders/Models
Weird pacing
I came to this realization after the last update and was kind of dumbfounded that I was oblivious to these issues. Its hard for me to look at the early game. I just feel like everything is mediocre and I want it to be great.
Originally, I was going to abandon it altogether but a part of me does want to continue if I can start from scratch. Maybe doing a few renders each weekend till I get a more consistent schedule. However, I am still thinking about it.
I think the "abandon" tag would be appropriate despite what I said above, because my plans are up in the air and I don't people to feel anticipation something is going to happen soon.
For patreon supporters, thank you for supporting me and I'm sorry I couldn't read/respond to messages while my account was essentially locked down. My patreon is done and I don't think I would go back to patreon in the future.
--------------------------------
Upcoming plans:
1. I have about 600+ renders that were on my mega that I may post here if people want. These are comprised of holiday renders, pinups, unreleased renders
2. Not sure if I will release models or not. A lot of them are "custom" with some textures edited in photoshop and morphs made in Blender, so I would have to make actual character models rather than listing morphs out. I always enjoyed fan art and was curious what people would do with characters from the VN but now I don't know if people would still want to.
I won't be online much, so if I don't respond to messages or respond late, that's the main reason.
I really do appreciate the enthusiasm people had for the VN and was determined before that I wasn't going to abandon it. I just wish I had planned/done things differently so it wouldn't be in the state that it is currently in.
Cheers!
