"When we started this...the AVN community was full of promise."
Doesn't sound too promising for the future to be honest. It kinda sounds like people were bored back then and are ready to move on now. It sounds almost the same as the developer of Hillside barely a month ago. I do appreciate everyone finishing their game though. I feel like a lot of people don't really take into consideration what it takes to develop a game - Concept, Story, Artstyle, Rendering, Community Management and if it's not only a hobby, probably balance sheets as well.
