Yea, that's why I don't like them posting this in the public way they did. No way all yall can get the full story from just this. To try and sum things, we approached them to see how we could help. From what we gathered it seemed like a lot they didn't know yet about how to work in this space, so we offered some of our expertise there to help make the game better. Then the idea came to team up. Still remaining separate but offering to help make the game better, as if we were a member of their team. We didn't want to acquire them in that sense of the word. As we also have other games to make ourselves. By by working along side each other we could share ideas, and make sure not stepping on each other's toes. They also have a 'mysterious investor' who seems to be pulling some string behind the scenes and also why likely the drive for profit. When asked to talk to that 'investor' and the rest of the team, we got this reply.

This puts enough uncertainty in the air, I apologize for being rash, the original context inspired it, I'd like to hear more about this "investor" considering I thought us patreons were the "investors"

I totally understand you! And can't fault you for getting rash. The way they write this posts is made to get people riled up, so by design it seems. And yea, us too xD haha we only learned about them more recently 

i can understand that but i hope you can also understand that the two games the report is mentioning are fundamentally different  if it were to go to court i don't see the attacking team winning at all without copywrite on game mechanic or an idea we all know what crazy taxi did with its arrow  there has to be hard evidence like code being reused from your game  and such and such what there needs to be from both sides is showing what happened the whole truth instead of throwing accusations to one another  for example strange girl being vague could be due to a legal side or legal battle that might happen as most lawyers advise little to no contact with anyone

please hold this to more scrutiny from what i know both sides really don't have anything in this image we don't actually know if its real screenshot or not i seen faked screenshots of other people i wouldn't put past anyone if a fake screenshot as for  strange girls vagueness its probably because they are getting advice from legal team i would like some hard evidence showing this is infact strange girl and not someone posing as them if you like example of someone not backing up their claims with any truth to them just look towards J.A.R (just a robot) they had something like this come up and they had to prove it by going live and clicking on the persons dms to show he had not done this showing it was infact a poser  both sides can be little clearer but seeing how strange girls acting we won't get any word from them untill they are legally allowed to disclose details  and with hot pink all they shown are words a testimony  if you will they don't hold any real water because there's no foundation and they are just vauge as strange girl is

Hm.. an "investor" as an excuse is... I mean how big could an investor be for a group with no prior experience? Seems like an easy cop out for any project dropping in the future... "Oops, can't work on this our investor doesn't like it anymore". Very worrying that a crowdfunded project can be killed at a single investor's word. I don't want to add fuel to the fire Strange Girl, but how can we trust you guys to continue to work on projects to completion when there's possibly a single investor that can control your entire group? If the negotiations are over, they're over, but that still leaves me with heavy anxiety that none of my contributions will actually mean anything as long as this "investor" exists...

Anyways, I can only hope and trust that whatever is planned will be seen through to completion and as a game that the community will enjoy, not just the "investor". Maybe I'm naiive, maybe I'm optimistic. 

from what StrangeGirl said on discord, the invertor is "family"

So, you offered your experience, and to team up, and then wanted to speak to the investor, but got told no... and you immediately backtracked on all goodwill, reported them, and removed your supportive post. Now you come here, arguing their post and saying you dont like them making any public statement? Textbook narcisist / protection racket move. That kind of garbage closes wallets, and eroge, let alone tentacle focussed eroge, is a small enough scene that word will travel.
