I'm not the type of person who likes games when they're still in development... unless they're far enough along that the content feels solid and mature. So, I'll leave this as a reminder to my future self that there's a game I'm looking forward to.

Find it irritating that developers keep doing weird obfuscation that brakes all normal tools that we normally use with a engine, so here is a small Python script that extracts the game files.

To run:
- pip install brotli
- python halva2_extractor.py DatabasePackage.halva2

Files will appear in the same folder the script is placed in.

I think so, too. That's a waste of resources and time. Just look at the big shining examples like Larian. They give the players everything and even a toolkit and just say: Here. Play the game however you want.
Those who want to cheat, will find a way.
But insisting that a game can and must only be played in a certain way is, in my opinion, simply arrogant and presumptuous.
Additionally it creates more bugs, with a primary engine, that is known for it's bugs.

Could you tell me how to use the file? I'm having trouble.

Sure, you need to have Python installed. In a Command prompt/Terminal run the pip command, once brotli has been installed run the script: simply type out "python" followed by dragging the script into the terminal window followed by, again, dragging the halva2 file you want to extract. Depending on where the script file is placed a new folder will be created named the same thing as the halva2 archive.

If you want to run the game as a normal RPG MV simply extract all the halva2 files into the binaries folder and run the exe that's inside that folder. If you feel unsure, you can always just download any "normal" rpg title and check the folder structure for that game (extracted Project Venus has the exact same folder structure).
