EDIT: thanks to conan for the leads, i also found the armor prototype
https://shoutscion.itch.io/jack-and-casie-armor-prototypethe legal/IP question still stands
this is for all relevant parties with information. i'm seeking out bushido's jack and casie prototype (ideally the most recent ones posted on the discord before its hiatus and his death). last i remember the most recent prototype was the 'armor update prototype' which im not sure matches the itch.io prototype release.
i left the backer discord years ago around the hiatus and since then there's no way to realistically rejoin. im not sure what happened to that end. i don't even know if it's still up anymore, but there are approximately 150+ people who did. i'm curious if anyone here is part of this group or still has direct access and is interested in sharing what they know or have that's still operational
my personal stake is that i'm vaguely interested in recreating or reviving the project not-for-profit. the recent prototypes had a lot of unique assets that aren't present in the original prototypes. it would be ideal to locate the last stable release to match the design and intended features that bushido was focused on around the hiatus timeframe.
side quest: i'm also looking for who is the current copyright holder of alex sian's intellectual property (including jack and casie). i'm assuming its his direct family but they are unreachable. if anyone knows this (its a stretch) i'm also curious to hear about it. i want to contact them so i do not infringe on the copyright or license. cannot find any real information, even in bushido's home state (texas)
