Hello, let me present myself, MelonSpeedruns, I've been a member of the TPHD project since it's start.
I really think the project can go far and even be completed. However, before trusting the project, you should trust it's members.
Let me explain a bit.
Since it's beginning, I was in the project with Tomoya and the others, I wanted to contribute more to the project when it was in the "Skyward Sword" style, so I made some foliage textures for Faron Woods.
I thought my textures were shitty, but then, Tomoya told me they were nice. I really felt like I did something good for the project at that point.
A few weeks later, I was invited to the private dev chat, and I felt really proud of myself.
However, a few months ago, when Bump Mapping was announced, I wanted to make a video trailer for it. And so, I asked Tomoya if I could have some clips so I could do a montage.
He accepted, then told me he would make them the next Thursday. I waited, for at least 1 month, trying to contact him to get the clips, and I was working like hell on the montage, until I saw an update video on the Youtube channel with Bump Mapping as the new feature.
Yup, that's right, Tomoya hired somebody else to do it. Not only I never got any clips, I never got informed of it. And before you tell me that he may have forget about it, think about what I said earlier.. I asked multiple times for the clips, and got several answers.
That's not the end, a few months later, after forgiving what's been happening, I started doing a Blog for future updates. I called Tomoya on Skype, told him to not forget this time, and he agreed. We created a WordPress blog with the style and colors he wanted. He was even ready to pay for upgrading the website.
As you know it, this never happened as well.. A few days later, while streaming, I asked Tomoya if he could show the Blog to the public, since I've been working really hard on it.
Never got an answer. That's right, once again, I was completely ignored. And to piss me off even more, I heard Tomoya talking about the new Website coming out. And like every time, I didn't get informed about that.
At that point, I decided to leave the project for a while, thinking that time might change things, but I was wrong.
A few weeks ago, I joined the public Discord chat, and told them what I was thinking of the project. I said I absolutely loved the project, but I felt like nobody was helping me getting better and/or trying at least to notice me.
However, as soon as I started doing my speech, it was the hype in the chat... Let me explain, a video about the project had been released by a famous Youtuber. Let me tell you already that I never saw or heard from him before, and I even don't remember his name.
While I was talking, somebody (I think it was Tomoya, again) cut me to tell everyone how that video would have an important impact on the project.
And once again, I was being ignored, not only by Tomoya, but by everyone else in the chat.
This is why, today, I quit the project, with this sad note.
If asked, I would rejoin because I believe in this project. Regardless of everything, I respect the work created. It's really beautiful. I'm not asking to be invited back because I don't think I have a place in the project anymore, but to you Tomoya, and the team, I truly wish you the best.
