Apparently Fang's snout was also shortened at one point.

They're also apparently going to do "character spotlights" within the next few months, where they'll talk a little more in-depth about every character. More about Sage will also be revealed during these spotlights.

That's no dinosaur, that's a pony from MLP with a cleft palette lip.

It's literally the same trailer, but the ending text is changed.

So basically, they had to remake the game from scratch with a new team. What the fuck are they even doing?

I love them “turning off replies” on their official twitter, what a stunning admission that they fucked up and dont want to hear about it.

Rebooting the entire narrative and purging the dev team is GVH's death knell. Not even major AAA productions can cope with such a major change in plot direction, just look at the borderline nonsensical plot of Destiny 1 for an example, or more recently Cyberpunk 2077. I would be surprised if it ever sees the light of day, even more surprised if it has anything resembling a coherent plot or developed characters.

Actually grimacing at that lame no response to turning off replies, best to have said nothing.

What does this game have outside of narrative? It's a visual novel with a poorly chosen style of talk avatar! Is there anything here that isn't narrative?

I'm now wondering if snoot game hit too close to home and they're retooling the narrative to distance themselves from it.

It's not impossible that snoot game managed to satirize GVH too well and they're going back to change things, but I consider it to be quite unlikely considering it's lack of steam distribution and it's relative obscurity. I think they're just incompetent and can't make up their minds on what they want to do.

Alternatively, they could be getting publisher or investor money and the delay is just a grift, but we have nothing even slightly indicating that.

Not really, that only happens almost half the time.

Rebooting a Narrative and Trusting the Process

The devs all but say outright that they dropped their original director/writer Kate Gray and as much of her contributions as possible the moment their target audience of tumblrites threw a bitch fit when the game was announced with her involvement. Sure enough, the archive of Kate's Twitter account indicates that she has stricken mention of KO_OP from her bio sometime between June 2020 and January 2021, and there appears to be no Twitter interaction between her and KO_OP since the game's announcement.

It still amuses me greatly that she was burned at the stake for admitting to indulging in animated Harry Potty porn when I have no doubt that many of her public detractors have themselves salivated over salacious Harry/Draco fanfics and the like.
