I get what you mean. That happened to me while I began to follow Marcus´ progress with Eldet. Something happened and he stopped the project... Its annoying you know, I lost 20€. The kickstarter campaign received enough funding and the start was good but yeah... he stopped. I think he was under a lot of pressure. A shame. The VN looked pretty good.
That said, I trust Hyao can complete LD. He´s made a lot of progress so far.
