i understand your trouble and i believe the main character has not been changed. Your ideas are amazing for the game btw. Im quite grateful to you for continuing the project. If the background and art style (i mean the graphics) was done by you maybe you can overcome this current issue by having a cheap artist and applying your current graphic styles or with some of your sparkles into it. anyway its just an idea i think might work. I have no idea how this actually works for the partnership or to maintain the logistics. Im looking forward to your project and ideas.Take care and dont overstress urself. Nice stuff
