New player here and I'm currently at chapter 38, I'm seeing the implications that Tropicali, while not necessarily the sequel, is in the same universe and it happened in the future (my estimation is 6 years perhaps?) since we got Gloria and Shayla here, but Gloria was 24 by the time Tropicali takes place while her appearance here she's roughly 18 or 19.
I could be wrong but it makes me curious as a new fan of yours, what's the endgame of this overarching story? Will there be another sequel coming up or are you done once the story is over? I love these characters more than the one in Tropicali actually, even though I played Tropicali first, but something about this story, these characters are making me attached to them.
Either way, keep cooking. I still have a lot to catch up on and hope you don't stress yourself too much while making more updates for the game. This is a very amazing story and I hope it will never ever be abandoned. Add more 4th wall breaking joke if you can tho, it's funny af lmao.
