I really appreciate your kind words, and the story you shared with me! It is always disappointing to see projects get abondond, and with how common it is with indi visual novels, I understand that readers are concerned about the future of this project, as I am a mostly unknown artists. Rest assured not only do i have a mountain of passion for this project, I have more sturdy motivations to finish it! You might have to wait till 2023 but HFTL will be completed someday.
About your personal creative pursuits, I have nothing but encouragement to offer you! I'm on a discord server of furry visual novel fans and creators, and if you'd like, I can share a link to it. Ive seen plenty of VN writers make calls for volunteer artist or colaborators with other talents, so it could be a good launching point if you'd like to pursue making your own VN!
