Moving forward (Patreon)

As many of you are aware. I have suspended my work with YandereDev until further notice following the recent allegations against him, of which I cannot condone.
I did, however, agree to re-sign if the game was handed off to a company/other developer or if YandereDev miraculously redeems his actions
This was not by any means an easy decision to make as, like many of you know, YandereDev and I became very close friends, and not to mention how much the project meant to me.
This, however, doesn't mean I have no more tracks to finish.
Allow me to explain
Earlier this year, I re-signed my contract to work on the game, unlike some contracts (which are time-based) mine was commission-based. I agreed to complete specific tracks, X amount of sound effects, and X amount of requests for an agreed compensation per track. Obviously, when I signed this contract, I DID NOT foresee this outcome, so I didn't worry about an exit clause. "This is my friend, we're just doing this as a formality, I got nothing to worry about, why wouldn't I complete these"...
This means I do have to finish my current obligations, (most of which are already near completion or in the works, not to mention the unreleased and scrapped music I still have)
The good news is, well there are still some cool Yandere Simulator tracks for you guys to hear soon!
The bad news is... I will probably receive backlash because of a contract I cannot terminate.
Since you all are my patrons I will list the tracks that will be upcoming. (and these are potentially my last tracks for Yandere Simulator unless it's handed off to someone else [can you tell I really hope that happens because I love you guys and want the project to succeed])
Agreed to tracks/sound design
- The design of each rivals theme/vibe (Mostly Completed)
- Amai's Stealth track (in progress)
- Mission Mode background music for 1980s Mode (Already Completed)
- A dynamically changing track for an alternate version of Mission Mode that would also take place in 1980s Mode (Already Completed)
- Music that plays while Ayano is plotting in her bedroom (in progress)
- At least 3 additional track requests over the year (which I would get immediate compensation for)
The additional agreed-to tracks
- Replacement of placeholder club themes
- Light Music Club practice theme (80s Mode) [Nearly completed]
- A Schoolday track (potentially - I have a lot of work done on this, I may ask for this to be scrapped)
- One easter egg track
15 Agreed to sound effects
- 4 scythe attack sound effects (Completed)
- Dirt walking/running sound effects (Completed)
- Wood walking/running sound effects (Completed)
- Carpet walking/running sound effects (Completed)
- Dropping air vent sound effect (Completed)
- Wrapping body in body bag sound effect (Completed)
- Garrote attack sound effect (Completed)
- Updated shutting iron maiden sound effect
- 1 misc sound effect
This doesn't account for all of the scrapped tracks I still have unreleased and the tracks currently on hold, I have plans to release them eventually, I just don't want to capitalize on a rough situation
YanDev has announced his break today, which I truly hope he gets help. I don't think he's evil, but I do think he really needs help and I'm glad he's taken that advice to heart.
Let me know in the comments what you think. I really don't have much of an option on if I complete these tracks or not, I agreed to it and have already invested a lot of love, care, emotion, and time into the tracks I've begun. Not to mention the fact that I have already been partially compensated to begin my work when the contract was signed.
A big part of me hopes I can one day return to the project if things change. I do still have a lot of love for it, and those who've supported me because of it.
