Yoshi-P chimes in with his own statement about all this as well, saying:
As far as explanations go, this is a pretty good one. If you have nice assets, why not share them? I’m sure it takes ages to put so many different outfits and emotes together, it seems like efficient game design to let other devs borrow stuff like this.
“We apologize for any concerns this caused,” Saito adds. “We are working hard on the development of the game so as not to disappoint our players and appreciate your continued support.”
“Questions remain around progression and whether there will be plentiful ways to grind out levels,” they wrote. “But overall, I’d say we had a fairly good time. A tentative thumbs up from us, then, and fingers crossed the devs successfully spin this crunchy combat core into a moreish dungeon crawler.”
