Remaking them is always an option and it's something I constantly have on my mind. If I would not have started the prequel ( and the feedback would not have been that overwhelmingly positive ) then I'd probably remade them by now and worked fully on Chapter 4. However, as long as there is the slightest Chance I'm getting my assets back, I'll try to avoid this. The differences will be jarring and the last thing I want is that I start to hate my own creations - Or in this case, recreations. So for now I'm focusing on the prequel and then maybe MNF2 or continue to adapt on the prequel, depending on feedback once the final version is out. It sucks, it really does, but if it turns out this is going to take longer ( lets say, 6 months ) then it is what it is, sadly. Trust me, no one is more hurt than I am right now regarding this case. I got some more news from my lawyer yesterday and today but I can't share them publicly because we recently learned that law enforcement is reading my progress updates on patreon. I can still talk about the other case ( where I'm the victim ) but what I learned yesterday almost broke me, until my lawyer was able to clarify it today ( which made me very hopeful again ). It will just take time until my court hearing happens ( there will be a court hearing happening 100%, not because of the crypto scam but other things related to the case where I'm the victim ).
Edit: And yes, they are checking my games and might be questioning the age of characters like Olivia. I can't confirm or deny that. But since the game is published on steam and on a lot of other sites on the regular internet, law is on my side, because there is nothing illegal portrayed in any of my games ( since all characters are 18+ ). If they think my game is some kind of pedobait, then they not only have to go against me, they will also have to go against steam and patreon, because they take cuts of my income from distributing those games.
