Aight, as yet another developer, one that actually articulated our feelings in a logical and calm way during forementioned shitstorm that resulted in us being removed from the discord server, I shall start with our feelings, we are not mad for either being removed or not being mentioned in credits, we find it rather funny.
But about the creative process itself, I do agree with some of the accusations we have been faced with, yes, we could have done more. I wish not to double down on what Kouht said, but we have lacked any reference materials AND communication between coders and the rest of the team, despite our best efforts like calling meetings or requesting materials for first two weeks.
What's more, we have not decided to leave the project unfinished, nor did we suggest we would, all we did was speaking out loud our estimation. Our signal was taken by Mr Korke as an "inting of the project" as per his words, the misunderstanding led to further antagonization of both groups and a constructive discussion was proven impossible, despite my efforts.
As of a closing note, we will soon be reporting the project as big part of it was a result of our work which had been used without our knowledge or consent.
I hope you have enjoyed reading this essay as much as I have enjoyed writing it, have a good day.
