Breeding Season, a “sexy Harvest Moon clone” was one of the biggest projects funded on Patreon, <\/strong>reports Kotaku<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to tracking website Pledge Society, the title was raking in a whopping $42.3k a month (R606,220)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

That was until the game suddenly went dark on 13 July<\/strong>, including the closure of all funding avenues.<\/p>\n

It appears the closure is due to a legal dispute between the game’s developers and the art director, who was was allowed to retain all the rights to the art produced for the game right from the start of the project.<\/p>\n

Art director Vladimir Sandler has subsequently started his own project using the art called “Cloud Meadow”.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause the wording of his contract let him do it, he also walked away with half the entire studio\u2019s savings, and then purely out of malice directed us to strip his assets from the game under threat of legal action,\u201d the Breeding Season developers claim.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis leaves Breeding Season half stripped of assets. Effectively, this would scrap the entire project as it currently stands, forcing us to start over completely from square one. There is no way the project could actually survive the process, the game is just dead, that\u2019s the end.\u201d<\/p>\n
