Been with this game almost since day one and even though I stopped playing the new updates at some point (bc you always had to replay the entire game which could take multiple hours) I'm VERY impresses it hasn't been dropped yet. The amount of content added in each update was already kinda crazy back then and now there's been so many new updates since I last played, I'm honestly kind of excited to give it another go.

1.3 GB for a game that uses 2D graphics is crazy btw so I guess I'm in for a ride.

The dedication to this game, the polishing done on older parts of it, the amount of new content (and the amount of time that is going into all that) is just amazing. Let's say this game is sort of a beacon of quality and hope among all of the very disappointing slop FMG games that are being spat out by people who have no backbone (and no idea how much work goes into shi like this) and who let their projects die after a month. Thank you for actually sticking with this game.

At this point the only thing that I could possibly wish for would be a more distinguished artstyle since the one that the game has is obviously based on it's earlier visual from a few years back where AI couldn't really do all that much interesting stuff. The overall quality of the visuals might've increased significantly but the artstyle really does look like nothing more than a continuation of the plain looking pictures AI used to give you back then. Genuinely, a distinguished artstyle would take this game over the top and make it better than quite a few hand-drawn games I've played even but realistically speaking that's probably asking a bit much. You'd basically have to remake the entire game except for the coding which, considering the fact that this game is already 1.3 GB, would probably take just a short moment, surely. So I'm definitely not criticizing you, was just writing what was on my mind and wondering if anyone had brought this up already.

Anyways, I'll be going for a completely new playthrough now after about 2 years time. Hope you continue your awesome work!

Thanks for the kind words. I'd be happy to greet a returning player.

Guess you missed the introduction of the chapter skip function. We got starting points at the beginning of each act now 😁

I get the wish for a more distinguished art style. For Gina we already had one rework in the past, and the decision to stick mostly close to the original SD 1.5 - Any 4.5 style was my choice. Gina looked just so vastly different in any other style 😓 So while we moved to an illustrious based model now, we actually made a lora based of all the old artworks in the game, to keep it somewhat consistent with our previous style while using the better prompting powers of the new models to create complex scenarios.

If I would attempt to make another game after GG would be finished, I would totally create a more unique style for that right off the bat, but reworking thousands of images now into a completely new style... rather not.

No worries there, I wouldn't wanna rework so much stuff myself so I can't possibly blame you for that. I thought maybe some of the older visuals could use a touch-up but then some of the visuals that you find a while later into the game would instead look out of place, being sandwiched between the reworked old ones and the newer ones from the recent updates and you'd just end up having to rework those as well and then it'd just get out of control and- you get what I mean. If GG ever gets finished and you find yourself making a new game, I'll be there to check out the style all things assured.

Also, I must have stopped pretty much right before the introduction of the chapter skip function, lucky me.

Anyways, keep up the good work King (and glory to big women or something like that).
