Not sure if I missed an update or not but this is a HUGE change from the version I played. So much great new content. I can actually fight things without it bugging out now!

Don't be silly. This has always been a free game so there was no obligation to stick around. Even if it IS really nice to see you come back.
Honestly? I'd say just stick with AI. The sad truth of the matter is that "good enough" pictures done by AI are a great way to flesh out a game like this. Excellent art is nice and helps elevate the content... but if there's 3 or 4 times the amount of stuff then it really does need to be excellent. It's a huge burden on you the creator when you're doing everything.
I came to this project knowing it was AI. I'd be happy to see it continue as AI, or I'd be happy to see something new. I don't really have strong feelings one way or the other.
I also wouldn't mind if you wanted to do things with proper 3D models, but that's a lot of time and effort and you've been scared off once before. So I don't know that I'd want to push you or anyone else to commit to that.
Yeah the rapid preg pills were nice once I got over my instinctive aversion of it not being "optimal to use them". I also see your point in that you'll have more to do.
Yeah I agree that the wait for the Fertilitea works well. It wasn't a complaint, I think it's a good change. Even if it was hilarious in the old versions.
While I agree that "forcing" a VIP to show up feels bad, the other angle to consider is "If I know X is always going to show up at Midnight on Friday, maybe I want to work the floor that night" though with the current way time passes it'd have to be something else.
Fair enough on the last two points. Not much else to add
Lol. I was actually like 1 pregnancy from the VIP system.
So alright, some more notes. There are a lot of neat chat interactions, all the extra render work is super cool. The VIPs are interesting. I think you might want a way to target certain ones because I know I was more interested in the scientist's path but I built up rep with the CEO just from saying hello. Then I got to the "ending" and was like. OH.
Now, not a problem for the moment obviously, but in the future perhaps?
Another thing I'll add is that I truly have no idea what options other than Chat, VIP stats and Milking do for me. Like I get they give me new scenes but other than that. Nothing.
Also, not sure the emotion bar is working? I chatted for a little bit, got into green and then never once left it.
So this is for 8.0 as a whole rather than the bugfix.
Firstly, everything feels so much smoother. Not sure if I've missed an update or two, but the old version I have is so much clunkier.
Additionally, I feel like I can earn money however I want without fear.
Which is also a bit of an issue. It seems now that TIME is the biggest roadblock. Once you have a decent setup going you just want to get through the days as fast as you can. If you're dancing you watch for the "dance" notification and rollback time a little. Or if you're milking you load up on milk production and just do that.
On the other hand... it was weird you could just load up in infinite ferili-tea straight away so I'm not sure what I'd suggest as a fix. Perhaps having the MC start a few weeks/months into her term after the first one? 90 days is a LOT even if it's accurate.
Otherwise, really great update. The game feels like it's in the best state it's ever been, and I haven't got to the VIP stuff yet I don't think? Honestly not quite sure how it works yet.
Thoughts so far.
The Livestream stuff is cool but there isn't much long-term progression money wise. Not sure what I'd suggest be added but I feel like there HAS to be something. It pretty quickly becomes something I just don't bother with because I don't NEED it and it takes up extra time.
Otherwise, love the update.
Though... can I get a hint for the new achievment Queen of Kebabs? I have no idea how to get it.
Alright, having played I think the balance is in a fine spot. It's not hard to get the achievements once you know how, and once you collect all of them it's super easy to go way over the calorie amount. For new players, you can stumble into quite a few just by trying to hit maximum whatever.
The "streaming setup" is seeming like a better and better way to keep things interesting because once you've reached "max size" there's still quite a few days to go before the end of the "round". Then again, I'm spending way too much time clicking over to play this game while doing other things already.
Sounds really cool. I'll be happy to play this new version.
As for comments? I think the biggest thing I want (without having played the updates) is a save system and a stats system. Being able to come back to a game would be really nice, and having a score to tell me say... "Most calories in a day" "Most money earned in a Livestream" and "Number of Baby's/Number of pregnancies" stuff like that.
Can't make difficulty comments just yet because, as I said, haven't played the new game. I think streaming once a week seems fair? With it not being the focus of the game that's what I'd suggest.
I'd give it a solid "alright" score. It's not bad and I think there's good potential to build up here but the downtime between "doing things" is a fair bit and I don't care enough (yet) to stare at the process. Yet it's not quite so idle I can just leave it on in the background really.
An extra note is that while I did manage to make my way through the tutorial, on a widescreen monitor the red tooltip circle doesn't line up at all
So, for everyone saying it's too hard? I agree BUT, everything pauses if you tab out of the window. So I recommend opening a note document, writing down the correct answers using your own "time stop" powers and finishing the game that way. Even with the help, it was STILL hard so I don't feel bad about it either.
