Yeah, fuck it. I can't believe I'm saying it, but I'm out.
Just one thing after another leads me to believe that these guys are not sincere about this project and are just making shit up as they go along without any proper vision other than "EQ mechanics" and "grouping." Both of those appeal to me, but everything else about this seems so poorly thought out and haphazard that I can't support it in good faith at the moment. Don't mean to be a drama queen or anything, but I can't wave the banner for these guys anymore.
I'll check back in a few days before this project ends and see if they've managed to get their shit together.
