Couldn't be bothered. The moment the dev blackmailed, I lost all interest in this game and supporting them any further.
Honestly, I never said I was going to abandon the project. I just went through a tough wave of demotivation after seeing the game leaked so early — it really made me feel like giving up. And I believe being honest with my community is something that should always be valued.
But in the end, I did the opposite. Instead of throwing in the towel, I restarted the game from scratch in Ren'Py, taking into account all the constructive criticism (much of which came from this forum) to deliver a higher-quality product that reflects the improvements you all suggested — along with brand new content.
That said, I respect your point of view, and if it came across differently, I sincerely apologize.
But also take into account the developer's point of view.
