I really cant wait for chapter 9, when is it coming out? I just started playing, I probably should've played the original one first but I started playing the revamp version, are you gonna be done with that version soon? I really hope so, this is all I wanna play now.
honestly, in my opinion, you're doing it the way I would prefer right now. the revamp is exponentially better than the original. at this point, the original is more of a behind-the-scenes look if you like the story and want to see how it originally appeared. so right now the revamp is in chapter 8 and we've only seen the first 1/3~ of chapter 8 so we've still got a lot left in chapter 8 so the next 2 updates will most likely finish out chapter 8. the chapters get progressively longer as the story goes and we're getting to the part of the story where things sorta turn up and don't stop until the literal last sentence of the story. the last chapters have traditionally the most popular.
so i'm working on the next update now. lot of new environments that needed reworked and upgraded with a lot of work to preserve what was originally put into the project while still upgrading it with new textures and stuff. that being said, the next update will be a bit smaller than what we've seen so far. i needed an update to sorta "rest" and catch my breath-- it's been like 5 years since i did that and it was due. but so far the next update is looking visually insane. there's some teasers on my bsky if you haven't seen it yet :)
