It's a good game, but I still have some issues to report.
bug: After loading the game and interacting with NPCs, the MC's picture will change to stage 1.
Also, I still don't know how to deal with the red slime in the gym.
Emma's Growth is by far my favorite among this type of games. However, it has stopped receiving updates for a very long time and it can't even be found online anymore. I still keep this game and occasionally play it.
The aspect I like the most about Emma is its detailed description of each stage of growth and the realistic AI images it presents. One of my favorite parts is that Emma can compete with other bodybuilders on the beach.
Now I have completed all the content in your game. Although many aspects are still not perfect and the quality of the AI images is average, this is still the first version. I think the potential of this game is quite significant. If there are new updates on Patreon, I will definitely sponsor you first.
(PS: The another game I like is "Summer Growth". In my memory, it was released at the same time as "Emma", but it has also stopped being updated. Sad.
Also, English is not my native language. Please don't mind if there are any issues.)
The characters in the new version upgrade much faster than before, and I really like this.
However, I don't really like the changes in the new version of the gallery. Each character has 300 images, which means you need to complete dozens of levels in a specific order. Given the limited game mechanics, this is already a rather boring issue. It's extremely boring. So, I only completed each character's collection for two or three times and then gave up because the gallery's incentives alone weren't enough to keep me playing for several dozen rounds and having to follow a specific order to choose upgrades.
Whether you agree or not, my personal opinion is that before the game's gameplay is further improved (such as the new content you mentioned in the update announcement), it should revert to the original unlocking method.
I really like this game. It has great potential. Keep it up!
PS: Perhaps when the game becomes more refined, some external growth elements can be added to reward players for multiple playthroughs of the game.
