Considering before the last release Vren was in the middle of trying to port the game to using live2d models, which had taken up way more time than was expected, and that people were voicing concerns that the new system looked worse than the old one I could actually see that demotivating him. This was also being treated as an excuse to learn about coding, and the future was going to be many hours of mindlessly importing the live2d images into the game. It would also be a pretty big coincidence for the game to get an "open source" release just before Vren's death or imprisonment.No, he didn't "get out of the way" when he learned about the mod. He knew about the mod long before he joined the Discord channel. He had such a strong work ethic and drive to innovate with his game the only thing I can imagine stopping him are death or imprisonment - so I hope I'm wrong and he did just move on
