At coding? Yes, he said it himself that the original was essentially a bowl of spaghetti that was constantly catching fire. At storytelling? No. Arc is pretty damn good at what he does, but his current coding understanding compared to what it was originally is like comparing a grain of sand to an entire bag of it.

I agree completely, but at the same time, this whole thing is really shady. He could have absolutely only changed the models and left the storyline intact, but he blatantly chose to restart from scratch, which no one asked for. His game, sure, but I don't feel I'm alone in feeling like this was also a move to extend patreon earnings a few more years. I also feel like I'm not the only one bowing out. I just hope it was worth it!
