This is an update from the developer on a site i know about. Posted sometime yesterday (about 20 hours ago from the time of this comment.)

“Sometimes… it’s not like I want things to drag on like this.
I truly, honestly wanted to finish everything.
When I said I wouldn’t post anything until LL was complete, I genuinely believed I could stick to that at the time.
Of course I wanted things to end properly.

If I had foreseen how things would turn out,
then I would say my biggest mistake…
was not just declaring LL1.52 as:
“Yes, this is version 2.0! The game is finished! Hooray!”
I really thought vcxz and I could stay true to our original vision… I believed we could make it exactly as we first imagined.

You think I enjoy delaying things?
You think I care that much about dragging it out for a few more months just for some Ci-en donations?
Our current income has already dropped to less than 15% of what it was during LL’s first year.
It’s not about money, it’s about being stuck with LL forever and unable to freely move on to new things…
If only I could finish LL already… (bitter smile)

As for why I haven’t released the remaining content yet…
it’s simply because it’s not organized well enough.
The current build is based on vcxz’s wish to completely revamp everything,
and as a result, the game’s structure is now a total mess.

Even scenes that worked fine in 1.52 often don’t work properly anymore.
To merge old content with the new, I’d have to relearn how the old version was written…
If DP’s Unity version is like renovating a modern city, then LL is like maintaining a crumbling historic monument.
And no, I’ve never dared to use GitHub—because I don’t trust it.
(Flash on GitHub? Seriously, lol)

Originally, I planned to spend this year wrapping everything up…
But DP is still ongoing.
I also have to manage the work with my team.
Developing the new cohabitation system engine has eaten up most of my time.
My hope was that once the visual novel engine was done, my partner could help me write new DP content.

Then in May…
my biggest collaborator told me:
“If you don’t finish DP within the deadline, you’ll face disastrous consequences.”
Because I already signed a contract.
…And who is this big collaborator?
I’m afraid I can’t say right now.
So all I can say is… this is just one of those “adult reasons,” you know?

A few years ago, I asked vcxz to help bring LL to a proper close,
but he was too busy.
So I had no choice but to start DP myself.

Ironically, now that DP is finally going well…
I can’t just stop midway to go back to LL either.

Sometimes… I just want to run away from it all.

To those who want me to release the source code or assets—
I’m sorry, but I can’t.

The assets belong to vcxz, and he won’t agree to it.
As for the code, I personally don’t want to release it either.
Our work has already been targeted by underground scammers looking to profit off of it.
If I publish the code, I’d only be making it easier for them.
And our game was never protected by DMCA to begin with.

As for decompiling… well, Flash is old tech.
Reverse engineering it is no longer that hard.
I won’t provide anything myself, but…
if you really want to do it,
I won’t stop you either. Do as you wish?

Maybe it really would be better…
if I just shut up, disappeared for three years,
and focused entirely on development without reading any more fan comments…”
