Mate, take a deep breath - things are going to be ok. It's totally fine to not like a change in art style, and you are perfectly entitled to express that opinion and to no longer want to play the game.

But calling an update to the visual style of a game a "backstabbing" and celebrating "being a pain in [the developer's] ass" is taking things too far. Contrary to what you claim in your post, you are the one who needs to address the issue like an adult.

You are not the only person in existence to disagree with a change in direction for the development of a game. That happens all the time, and it's never as personal as you are taking it. Ultimately, the game belongs to the developer, and they are going to execute their vision for the game to the best of their abilities - you aren't entitled to keep things a  certain way just because you previously supported the project.

Of course it's unfortunate when this happens - it's never fun to see changes to a project that you don't agree with - but this level of outrage is unwarranted and off-putting. You've obviously made your opinion known, so now just stop interacting with this project entirely. Stop harassing the developer and stop leaving rants on the comment pages. Try to forget about the project entirely - I promise you'll be less stressed if you do.

To Keo, I'm honestly pretty ambivalent about the sprite updates, but I do hope that you don't let people like the one I'm responding to get to you.

It is a bit disheartening to read, even if I get the disappointment. Still - sourcing information from pirate websites and then inferring things and then coming here to demand answers feels disrespectful to us as developers and we don't feel inclined to answer.

We're a team and Haku is working on the reworks and setting the direction for it. I support them in this because we're all working hard to make this VN the best we can. The response to the reworks in total has been positive and we continue to work on them - some of the details I've shared in the latest devlog, and I'll get back with more news once we have any we're ready to share with the public.

Thank you ^^

I'm glad to hear that the dev team is continuing to work hard on the VN. It has some of the best writing and art of any VN I've read, and it'd be a shame to give up on it because some jerks won't stop harassing you all. Wishing the team the best!
