Yeah that's basically all that happened, some things that can be add are the information in the discord server that has already been deleted. There he used to post lots of WIPs (That in the end were completed by the programmer) and talk with some of the patreons about things like future proyects and re designs. If I'm correct about the time that all the idea of the redesign came out, most of the fans where kinda against it because the artstyle was kinda different and because other things (No english update, incomplete game, etc) and also because some people were feed up with the slow updates, sometimes an update just for a new scene and some new story could take like 3 months and it wasn't helping that Asa was 24/7 playing MW2 I think. Asa did want to redesign almost everything and even the good and bad system was added in 0.8 but I guess he was just too greedy at what he wanted the game to be but at the same time kinda lazy for the really slow updates
