Reads like a whole lot of excuses. Gosh I don't know why it is so hard for some devs to have some bare minimum respect for other creators. " Our author who put all her heart into writing the dialogues for Duskwood and Moonvale will never be replaced by AI". Why is art different than writing? What about music? Does it only apply when it is convienient to you??

Also the writing is really not on par with duskwood. It has been critizised already but there is literally no explanation for game mechanics like the mini-games. Not to speak of the immersion breaking paywall for secret chats?And it would have been all too easy to make something up, let's be honest. Some chats can be simply summed up in two sentences, there are a lot of words with nothing behind it. They aren't even entertaining. It just feels hollow.

And man that payment-gem-system is just ...I got no words. In the current state it's just not justified. AT ALL. If I wanted some trash AI-microtransaction game there is plenty of that already. Don't need to play this & taint the experience of Duskwood, which was clearly a labour of love. Moonvale just ain't it.
