The option was given in the first poll as I said, but the majority voted in favor of 1.40+1.45. At this point, the versions were developed co-dependently and cannot be split without a lot of work on our side, so the best we can do is to release an earlier 1.45, for example 1.44.
There is another poll currently ongoing in Discord to know if the majority prefers to wait for the full 1.45 or have an earlier version. The release will be handled dependent on the result :).
We would love to include Ukrainian, we are open to all languages as long as someone is willing to do the translation work :).
If you’d like to translate it to Ukrainian, reach out in Discord :D.
For your second question, it really depends, because languages are provided by volunteers that offer their time to do the language translations for their language. As long as people volunteer for a language, we will always try to add it, so it really depends on if people from all languages come to translate the game :P.
Thank you for the positive feedback :) ! I know we’re taking some time on the next update, but I hope you’ll continue to enjoy the final updates as well :D.
There was a poll on Discord some time ago and the majority voted in favor of having the version 1.40 released together with 1.45.
1.45 however will still take a while to finish due to the CGs. We’re estimating 2 months for the final animations to be ready in the best case scenario :/.
Highly doubt it, I’m expecting more like end of August. It really depends on the time the last CGs are finished plus the time it will take us to animate them :/.
I understand your frustration, as much as we’d like to be able to dedicate the time we used to have for the game, we no longer have that luxury, however I would like to ask you, what excuses do you find stupid?
Thank you for the intention, but unfortunately, we do not have a way to accept donations at the moment after what happened in this site :(.
Also financing the game is a bit more complicated, since the agreement with the original author is to not make a profit of his past work, so we have to be careful with it.
Not sure I understood the question, but the parasite count to fullness increase is not linear, meaning 1% from 0 parasites can be around 20, but from 50% is about 100.
Before anything else, yes, we will be releasing mod support on the final version, as we’ve said on our latest devlog :).
Regarding amounts, we are not sure of an exact figure, but we can give estimates.
We were designing about 9 new encounters and 3 bosses, besides some odd scenes. CGs go around 40$ to +100$, but if we settle at around 50$, each original animation uses about 120 CGs, which would go about 72.000$ for animations alone.
Of course we would cut this to about 1 or 2 CGs per animation and then animate them ourselves or hire someone to do it, which would land about 1.500$ if we animated ourselves or around 4.000$ if we hired an animator to do that from the CGs, based on a price of 50$ per scene (~4) for each encounter.
This was already discussed in the past, but understandably, he didn’t agree, because the other CGs are paid and a person has to eat. The permissions we got was only for the original game’s CGs :).
We wanted to make an original adventure with inspiration from this remake, however we’re very short on time this year, so I don’t think we will start anything right after finishing the last version :/.
There were some plans to add incubation to Jellyfishes, but those were scrapped given the roadmap changes. Perhaps it will be a good feature to mod in when we finish the modding update.
I can tell you that unfortunately, we won’t have futa or any physical changes that incur visual updates on portraits and scenes, since these are not priorities for use on the last versions due to budget limits and amount of work necessary. We will try to make these kind of changes doable via modding, so anyone can add such features if they intend :).
I’m still not sure at the moment what the limitations of modding will be however.
Did you know the colloquial name for the parasite is Green-banded Broodsac? I didn’t :P. Curiosities aside, we had plans to add a very light version of it, without the “body horror” aspects of some known artists (not judging, however the more extreme representations of the parasite are not our cup of tea), but with the shortening for the last versions we dropped a lot of things.
Currently I can’t say if this will stay dropped or if we’ll find the time to include it as well.
The game is a remake from the original Mushi no Kangoku game, however the original game was never completed. As of version 1.0 of the remake, we already have everything that was part of the original game and there are no other insects and characters :/.
All versions from 1.0 onward have been adding content that was not part of the original game :).
