You can update the game through the Itch launcher or by re-downloading the zip file if you aren't using the Itch app.

Please be aware that unfortunately this update may break some of your old saves so if you attempt to load a save and the game crashes, please start a new game.

Hopefully some of them were even slightly helpful! (〃￣︶￣)人(￣︶￣〃)

Gilded Shadows is obviously really long because of the number of love interests - but one of the funniest things to me is that one indie game I know of that is longer (there may be others; but I only know of one) is Our Life. I think that if you include the DLC, it's *quite* a bit longer than GS.

And it only has three LIs. 🤣 

The sheer amount of customisation and variation in that game is terrifying. Props to GBPatch for being utterly amazing! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

Aww! I'm glad you like it. In some ways his route has the most satisfying end, I think, for the Endgame routes. But I also kind of feel like it wouldn't be possible to do this set up as well or in as emotional a way if the other routes didn't exist the way they do.

I did really love being able to write all the shenanigans and banter and everyone being brats to each other. So much fun. ╰(*°▽°*)╯

The end of a long project is always like that, I think.

A friend said to me yesterday that I've been working on Gilded Shadows the entire time she's known me. And I had this bizarre pause as I realised that...she's right. It's so weird to let go of something that has been my life for four years. But it means that I can start a new journey and try new things. So I'm looking forward to that, too. \^o^/

One thing I like about Yuu's route - and I think this is partially because I was able to work in the 4 week gap and not deal with Morgan' settling in - is that I feel you really get a sense of the found family and over all gremlin-vibe that the Endgame agents have with each other. 🤣🤣 

There is so much snark in this route between all of them (including Ari).

The rooftop scene is one of my favourites because it starts serious and they all just devolve into gremlin mode and picking on each other by the end. LoL

Thank you! \^o^/

Thank you! (￣y▽,￣)╭

*hands you some lemon-honey tea for that throat* 

(´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

🥂 Thank you!

Please don't jinx me like that. 🤣🤣🤣 We tried really hard to catch all the major bugs and errors. LoL!

I have a lot of announcements to make and things to update. I will post....SOON. 

(but yes, it's live. LoL)

I just try to write a specific amount every day (1000 - 1500 words a day on a normal day). It takes a lot of perseverance to do it on days I really don't feel like writing, but this is the only way I'm able to make steady progress and write as much/fast as I do.  (～￣▽￣)～

Thank youuu!

It mostly just flows differently but sometimes I don't know how noticeable that is to players compared to how much it stands out to me! LoL

It's weird to think I won't be working on GS game content anymore after this. 

（⊙ｏ⊙）

Beta testing was also torture. (づ￣ 3￣)づ

Thank you for your excitement and encouragement!

I hope you like his route ;o;

It is. Unless there's some terrible error (touch wood!) lurking in the game that needs a patch. 🤣🤣 I really hope we were thorough enough that's not the case though!

But otherwise, yeah, no more content for this game. It's been a journey. (づ￣ 3￣)づ

I considered doing a stealth release but figured a head's up might be appreciated. 🤣🤣

Whether or not you have to re-do everything from scratch depends on what platforms are supported by the game engine itself. Ren'py can do mobile ports but often you do have to redesign the UI to be optimised for mobile use since you have different screen resolutions or requirements for touch screen, etc.

I hope it doesn't disappoint. As usual, I'm paranoid about whether it will meet expectations!

I don't intend to Kickstart this one as I'm trying to encourage more people to Patreon if possible. I would much rather fund things through Patreon than KS if I can because Kickstarter is just so much harder to manage and work with. And it's really stressful to run a campaign

When it comes to Switch ports, there are some major roadblocks such as having to port the entire game into a new game engine as Ren'py doesn't support Switch builds. 

It's not as simple as taking the content and just putting it into another engine - since engines use different coding languages, you really have to rebuild the game from the ground up and the cost is very high. OnO

I also think it would nice to release on Switch but until that platform is more accessible for very small and solo creators, it may be out of reach for me, sadly. <3

He does have pretty (cybernetic) eyes! <3

👈(ﾟヮﾟ👈)

🤣 It can't hurt! You might forget who is who if you don't replay!

Usually beta testers only find fairly minor issues so I'm not expecting any major issues. Just endless typos. LoL

(´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

I hope it doesn't disappoint!

(￣y▽,￣)╭  Thank you for your support.

The OST on spotify is the only one that will be available.

In the first place, the OST release was handled by the composer and I was not involved in the decision on what tracks to use.

Additionally, some of the tracks in the game are royalty free and cannot go in the OST while other tracks were simply created as fun extras by the composer and he didn't include them because he didn't even know if I was going to use them in the game.

The ones included are the main tracks he composed and are the ones he decided were appropriate to include. 

Nothing else will be released as far as I'm aware. =)

*also screams* ╰(*°▽°*)╯

Updates are supposed to give you hope, not torture you! (〜￣▽￣)〜 LoL

It has been a while but I believe Danny's 3rd CG happens towards the end of Chapter 4 and requires a specific "affection" score. If you managed to get the best ending without unlocking this CG you probably barely missed the required stat. 

I would recommend (if you haven't already) trying to follow a guide that helps you get your score as high as possible through this area so you will be sure to unlock it.

Lake of Reflections is such a peaceful, uplifting story. I love the heartfelt journey through overcoming grief, letting go of sorrows and finding happiness again.

I really enjoyed it! All the character designs are so beautiful and I love the writing style. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

Haha. I think I rest more than most people assume. LoL!  (￣y▽,￣)╭

Ha ha! That makes me so nervous. （⊙ｏ⊙）I hope you aren't disappointed! I think he and Morgan have some really sweet moments together. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

Aww! I'm so honoured to be your first game purchase here! ╰(*°▽°*)╯

I'm looking forward to releasing Yuu. Though, as always, I'm also nervous. LoL. It's always exciting and terrifying to be so close to an update! (づ￣ 3￣)づ
