well, hello guys, it has been a while isn't it, sorry for suddenly necro-ing the thread but i feel i need to share the recent news about Heliodor's Ayakashi (once again, i will remind you all that English isn't my first language, but i will try my best to explain the whole things in here, I'm sorry if i misspoken or saying something offensive)
there is a new post in Heliodor's ci-en, it's about the とんの16 guy who i mentioned in my previous post back in November (actually, i might forget to include his name at that time, my bad)

--------
long story short: after Heliodor-san passed away, とんの16 decides to take over to honor Helidor's name and his selfless effort, continuing the development of Ayakashi with all available properties that heliodor left from CG arts, pixel/sprite animations, background design, etc.... there might gonna be some missing stuff when the game is finished, but it is better than nothing
but the main problem was he cannot do that in that time because とんの16 currently still working together with Rusimarudo (the same circle that made Goblin Walker) because of a contract, until then all we can do is wait
A few months have passed since then, I'm not sure what's going on but Rusimarudo keep delaying "Dungeon Erotic Master" for almost 2 months now, all i can understand is that their reason was [it not ready yet] or [still requires more testing] or [we need more time to add more contents]. with that said since the game とんの16 working on getting delayed, so does his contract get prolonged as well
TLDR: undesirable as it is, とんの16 need to stick around with Rusimarudo for a bit longer
and now, I'm not sure if this a good news but the "Dungeon Erotic Master" is complete and ready to be published on March 16, at last とんの16 contract's is finally over, now he can focus on Ayakashi without any more issues.... or so i **thought**
-------
it seems there is a change of plan, in the recent Heliodor's ci-en post とんの16 implying that "Dungeon Erotic Master" will be the last doujin program he works, he did not mention anything about Ayakashi at all, and last but not least he said now he can quit for good since he got accepted and will be working in certain gaming industry. again i do HOPE i am mistranslating these all wrong, this is just too sudden, i can't even believe what in the hell did i just read...
did i misinterpret everything until now? i even asked my friend that could understand Japanese just to be sure, they said that とんの16 didn't mention anything about continuing the incomplete game.
now i feel like shit, i don't know what's going on anymore
Ayakashi Kouhakusen is truly abandoned, i have nothing to say about this... heliodor has worked on this game for so long, it can't stop now, not like this
I'm sorry guys, i really am
