Direction of Development (important)

I'll keep this short as possible for readability

During the months of development of G7K, I became painfully aware of all of the main story's "flaws", I will make a much more detailed post of what I mean by that fairly soon, but here I'll list, in summary, two of the biggest issues with it:

- Perspective: Many lewd scenes are in third person. Even when Shizhar is involved, I don't like referring to Shizhar as the player (second-person, "you") in narration. Third person perspective isn't great in adult-games, and nullifies the narration of erotic and lewd scenes, which means I have to rely solely on graphics in erotic scenes, with some flavour dialogue. Also, lewd scenes aren't interactive, which again nullifies one of the biggest strengths of adult games.

- Non-nsfw development time: With G7K particularly (and the main story as it is/was planned), the far majority of development time, by which I mean roughly 90% of development time, is going towards the development of non-nsfw elements. While world-building, character development, and story are all important elements in adult-games that give life to the erotic and lewd scenes, G7K, or rather the main story in general, is overly complex and intricate, and there are (or rather, would be) too many game mechanics with no relevance or relation to the lewd content. I feel this doesn't work well at all when the erotic content is niche-focused.

During development, I tried brushing away such concerns, because I wanted to believe in the strengths of the main story I had conceived. But since a few days ago, I've been able to more objectively assess both the flaws and merits of the main story, and I no longer think the main story makes for a good eroge game.

For the sake of the survival of the Greiya series, I now believe it's best to ditch the main story, including G7K, and instead switch to separate, self-contained games, which center more on the erotic and lewd content, and where the game mechanics also complement the lewd content.

I'm sure this must come as a disappointment after 4 months of development. However, I believe I can make better quality eroge games, and I'll show that soon. And, for those who were already supporters or fans of my work, I'm confident you'll love the new stuff more.

This was a very difficult decision for me to even consider. But I believe abandoning G7K is the best course of action. But, this decision isn't mine alone to make, I will of course consider the opinions of my supporters on this. So here's what I want to do: I'll currently work on making a first-release of a new game, Complete Domination, soon as possible - there won't be a long pause for this, I don't wanna give a release date or deadline, but I can say it'll be out in a few weeks. I'll also show previews of CD throughout development, including finalized char designs and an overview within the next 2 days. After first release of CD, I'll hold a poll to get your opinions on what you prefer, continuation of the main story, or ditching it to focus on more erotic/lewd-centered games.

G7K was in development without releases for 3 months, Nov 2022 - Jan 2023, January was already refunded in January. I'm refunding 2 months (for Nov and Dec) for all patrons who have been subscribed since. I realize this might not be important to many of you, but given that the game you supported throughout development may be abandoned, I feel this is the least I can do in terms of fairness.

note: I can refund a maximum of 3 most recent months, which is why I'm only refunding those who have been supporters since November, any other arrangement would be unfair to them.
