Also don't wish to be rude, because I really really loved and enjoyed what I've played of the Mannequin academy (easily one of my favourite indie VN), but as a customer it is discouraging to read about new projects being announced while all those outstanding, particularly this one, are unfinished. Doesn't make me inclined to spend any further money, despite serious temptation with Diamond Mirage, because I am unconfident any will actually be finished before further new projects are announced.
I do not begrudge parting with £15 for Mannequin academy before full release, but I do resent ever so slightly the feeling that I've paid early to support other games. Particularly when from this message it sounds as if Mannequin academy has essentially been parked since last Sept. as it awaits still this review.
I'm sorry for being so blunt. It truly truly pains me to be or say anything other than supportive (genuinely ummed and erred over an hour at 3:am whether to even post this)
