Hi all!
I usually don't make announcements twice in a week, but this is very important and difficult decision yet forced upon myself to make.
Recently, the previous artist of my VN (Referring to Haz) came forward and informed me that he will be posting the CG scenes of my VN. Despite my multiple attempts to educate him that he does NOT have my consent to post the CG scenes, of which are considered spoilers. He felt he had the right to post the CG scenes of my own characters used in this VN development because I paid him less. He proudly offered the discounts, worked hard on the CG scenes, and I took it for granted. He offered discounts mainly for one reason: I promised him that I would help him out with his future project. But alas, we could not keep the promise because of his nasty attitude.
To summarize right now, he is unable to agree and respect the privacy of my VN development. He have decided that he will post the CG scenes to advertise himself for his own profits. He have decided to trash my consent entirely in the name of his career as an artist...
What does it mean for our VN here? Despite having to encounter yet another obstacle that could be easily prevented... We will continue to move forward. Our current CG scenes will be heading straight into trash due to his impending spoilers. Our artist, Rebel, will get to draw the brand new CG scenes after the Sprites Revamp. On my side, I will be changing the dialogues during these specific moments to match what is being portrayed on CG scenes. More work for us to complete, so the hiatus will likely be extended thanks to Haz's unwillingness to listen and come to an agreement.
On my behalf, I sincerely apologize for what happened, but we are going to stand proud and move forward with strong support from our community here. Thank you for reading, keep eye on the progress we will be making!
