What are the rules regarding re-creating content like this if it's not being updated? I've been thinking about trying to recreate this VN with updated visuals and some edits to the language/grammar, but I don't know what the rules are regarding IP and/or if that would even be respectable.
there asking about rules involving recreating dead projects by creators who never updated again or haven't updated/dont respond to anything involving the game in a long time, not if they could recreate it with permission. im not stating my opinion mainly because i hope the creator i updates and says he's ok.
