Ugh...this is gonna suck, but it must be said.
Hello everyone. I'm sure we're all aware of what's been happening with the Forsaken dev team as of late. If you're not, I'm no expert on the situation myself, but from what I know, many of the lead devs are still in contact with the original owner, Soul.
It should be pretty common knowledge that Soul was and is a very bad person. I was hoping that when ownership was transferred to Hytoko and co that things would stop.
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case. Not only are many of the devs still in contact, but some are even trying to defend Soul under the pretense that he's "changed".
I'm no stranger to watching games I love fall into controversy, and for a long time I've been very adamant on the ability to separate art from the artist.
But even I must admit, there comes a point where that just can't happen. I truly believe that Forsaken, in the state that it is, cannot be supported.
This is a difficult decision for me, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth turning a blind eye to this. Safe to say, I will most likely stop making Forsaken content.
This is incredibly disheartening for me, especially because Forsaken has been one of my longest running hyperfixations. It really hurts to be leaving it on such a bad note.
That being said...I don't want to end this post without giving you all an idea for the future. In terms of my modern Forsaken story, I will unfortunately be scrapping it. However, there is a chance I may take the characters and concept and rebrand it into something else.
Unfortunately Deception will likely not have the same thing happen. I know a lot of people are here specifically for Forsaken content and not original works, and I just don't think Deception would do very well.
In terms of future works, I've been sitting on a Die of Death story and a Pressure story as well, so stick around for that if you'd like :]
