I'll agree that he does seem to care about it and that he's definitely made mistakes. Him caring is evident because of how he's still trying to make THIS game. He could've EASILY just given up and went "the game's dead, here's a new one I'm making" but instead he's fighting this uphill battle to try and make THIS. EXACT. GAME. (with a few slight changes to get around the "no mind control" restrictions). Which I'm honestly fine with as I did the "good" route anyways which didn't have much of that.
He definitely doesn't deserve any of this shit either. Hell, almost none of these indie AVN devs really do. But life still fucks them over with illness, deaths, restrictions, jobs deciding to quadruple mandatory overtime, politics, and whatever the hell else it can pull out anyways.
That being said, he definitely could've communicated better. His "rework" looked more like a remake right off rip for instance. Reworks usually just make something function similarly without changing it too much. But he completely changed the graphics, character designs, and planned on changing the story too which could've had clearer communication. Him reworking it due to code was valid tho.
It's just sad what happened to this game as it's what I would consider one of the Legendary AVN's of Years Past. Hell, I think it was one of the ones that brought me in to the whole AVN scene to begin with. I don't really want to wait ~2 to 3 years for the game to reach the same place it used to be in. And right now, I also kind of just want to not think about this game for a little while. Especially since this page is just a reminder of how good the past was.
