As an avid Koda roaster, I can sympathize, but in reality coding roadblocks can be quite challenging. For example, plugin compatibility, variable limits, and data dependencies can offer up some real challenges that require you to re-invent the wheel, because the old one just couldn't do the job.
Let's look at the example of plugin issue. The plugin is written by someone else, and the code isn't open source. You have 2 options - Get in contact for the plugin developer and beg them to fix it for your femdom foot fetish game, or build an entirely new one yourself, and migrate all existing content, breaking any player saves in the process.
Just an example, but the point remains. People look at coders like Chinese shoe makers. 12 years old, will work for pennies, and easily replacable... but the work isn't that simple.
That said Koda can eat a dick. Respite update was code name for long hiatus. Respite is a synonym for rest and relaxation.
