I always assumed
Tearycian hadn't given up on the game, simply because the story is far
too good to simply throw out, and if we've this quality, there had to be some level of commitment to the craft. Like, no one would put this much thought and effort into a story they didn't personally care.
This isn't a generic or lazy setting that simply gives an excuse for the plot or the porn, but an incredible thought out world, full of personality and character. It could very well stand out on its own. I'm engaged by it, and if Teary only wanted to exploit people, they didn't need to go this far with it.
I want to see this story fleshed out. I want to know how it ends.
Not saying this
justifies the delays, but everyone who ever worked on a creative piece
on the side has been there.
