We're sorry that it comes as a disappointment to you and others who may feel the same way but... both of us devs are bisexual, and this is the kind of game we wanted to try out. It's most certainly not an abandonment of what came before.
Grove and Prowler are still in the works, and development of this game has helped us learn and improve our craft. The sales of this game will help keep us afloat as indie devs whilst we continue to work on Grove and Prowler, too. So we can assure you none of this is 'at the expense' of our m/m projects.
