I mean... I was the writer... so I still have all of the scenes I wrote (prob enough to cover from 0.5-0.6 and maybe to 0.7). I kicked him off of the trello board where I stored all of the scenes when I left the team. And... as I used to do his animation.... I could probably find the Duf files for all of the characters. I dont think I have the house (the outside, I have the inside) or the school, or the vehicle, but I am sure someone could find those.
But I wouldnt want to work on it again to be honest. I was lured in with a redhead sister, which ended up being redhead twin sisters... I was iffy about working on a loli game, but he agreed to enough of my requirements and changes to make me less against it.
If someone was serious about picking up where it left off, and seemed to have the skill (or a team with the skills) needed to do it, I could be willing to point them in the direction of all of the stuff needed to continue where it left off.
This does seem like a VN tragedy.
I'll be honest and admit that I liked the loli aspect, but I liked Celeste's character more. Also, 'Z' seems to have an intriguing back story just waiting to be discovered. I enjoy adult visual novels for a few things...
The plot should be compelling, ideally original
The renders should be of a high enough quality so as not to be off-putting
The NPCs should have some depth to their character to make me want to invest in them.
The MC shouldn't be a stereotypical adolescent full of angst
This game nicely ticked all of the boxes for me.
Unfortunately, I've only ever made a (rather large) mod for Skyrim, so I only have knowledge of writing, voice acting, creation kit, Nifskope, textures and papyrus script, not Ren'Py. Script is my weakest.
As such, I'm in no position to take up this game, although I've been considering getting into visual novels.
You seem to be completely genuine.
Could any sort of crowd funding make you consider taking this VN up again, or is that not possible without backing?
I, for one, would opt into that. If you are the one responsible for the writing, hats off to you. I enjoyed what was made so far!
