How nice, Torahiko is last. What a sweet relief to know that if this project ends up like the original, he still won't have a route as well. Sorry for being so b****y, but after knowing how the original went, I would've made Torahiko's, Kyouji's and Soutarou's routes top priority; you know, in case of failure, to have the sweet relief that the only ones with no routes have one, a bit like finishing the old legacy type (even if this is a fan remake)

Ever since I discovered the Original last year, I wished for there to be routes for Kyouji, and especially Torahiko, since he really impressed me (my first route in the game was Juuichi's, and after the festival, Torahiko left me with a good impression and wished to see what he was like in a route).

The frosting is the best part of the cake, but you've got to put it on last ;) I love our tiger boy too, but from the notes the dev provided above it seems that they are using written assets from the Revisited project first, which didn't include as much for Tora. They seem to be doing things as efficiently as possible so that the final product is completed both correctly and in a timely manner. 

Beside that, Stormsinger seems like they're working on Homecoming from a completely different headspace than the original development team for Morenatsu: more as a passion project than as a product needing to be completed. So I'm confident that they'll follow through where the original team wasn't able to. We just need patience (as with all furry visual novels, it's a long process).

You're right, maybe I just want a bit too much "In case it fails, at least it finished what the original didn't" insurance from Stormsinger. Because, if I know for sure, 100%, that this game will be fully finished, then I don't really mind Torahiko being last. 

The original also had the mindset, "Torahiko is the icing on the cake because he is so special, so to make the most of it, he will be the last finished route". And well, you see where that went. So, excuse me for having a hard time accepting this mindset. If I am gonna wait, at least keep the promise, and I will be happy.

There are reasons we are saving Torahiko for last. As he is considered the canon love interest for Hiroyuki, we want to ensure that his route is handled correctly. By completing everyone else's route first, we are certain that we can do him justice. Gotta save the best for last.

Additionally, StoicBuzz is correct, in that we have recovered some assets from our original Revisited project. This is a passion project, and it is one that I intend to see through to completion.

Dzahn and I are usually on the same page, especially as far as writing is concerned. Many times, when I've written the script for an event and sent it to him, he's made alterations that have improved on it, in a way that compliments the scene. Additionally, I have done the same with his work.

The only difficulty I face compared to the others is my location. Everyone on the team, not including myself, lives in the US. I, on the other hand, live in Australia, and the extreme time difference has made it a bit difficult to communicate effectively at times (part of the reason why I passed the torch of director back to Dzahn), but we're all a group of friends who are committed to working on this project.

Ok then, I just am scared of another unfinished Morenatsu. I don't mind waiting, especially if it is to make him justice. But after the failure of the original, I am scared of repeat scenario. 

I wish you all good luck, I will wait, and when he will have his route, I will make the most of it.
