First of all, I want to thank everyone for the support and feedback, all input and and motivation was extremely appreciated and helpful in reaching the current point of the remake :D.

I'm a bit tired and won't be able to respond to everything personally as I usually try to, so I just gathered some of the latest replies that seemed to require more attention, I'm sorry if I let anything out, let me know.

First, for unlocking the new areas and events, if the answers are not enough, please look into the

post at Itch, hopefully it will help you.

Secondly, regarding the bug (not the wanted kind) with the Banana Bug (Dazed 2), I've confirmed that indeed the scene is broken in the transformation, if the transformation step is skipped before the banana changes into the bug, on the top right corner, the rest of the scene should play fine.

I apologize for this, there were a lot of play testing both from me and Lightning_Dragon, but this was a last minute addition of a missing sound effect on Dazed 1, and I forgot to add the same sound effect to Dazed 2, and that is why it crashes. The fix is relatively easy, but I will not have access to the project for 2 weeks, so only in a future update will I be able to correct this :(.

Regarding the next steps. For now, me and Grey will take a month of hiatus, this version was quite draining adding to our daily jobs, but we really wanted to finish the remake this year. During this time we will be planning 2 projects, one of our own creation, and the extension roadmap.

We will probably need to hire an animator/illustrator for the new scenes, so we will do some research and try to talk with people in here as well, see if anybody is interested in helping us finish the game.

Without giving much spoilers or certainties, the few ideas we have somewhat planned are:
  • New workbench items, which we already left some placeholders for (this will have to be unlocked unlike the remaining), I call it the "Master Set", because they are slightly overpowered, but oh well...
  • Some features and a region ported from the Chinese version, courtesy of Lightning_Dragon writing the new scenario (we already had a few features ported from this exact version)
  • A few more regions that will tie in the story idea that I'm writing (don't expect any incredible award winning pieces
    :LOL:)
  • A few new encounters, but this will heavily depend on the access to CGs and price (at least the Wasp will be there)
  • Finishing pending scenes (Mosquito and Parasite Worm Big), also depending on CG availability
  • A few suggested mechanics, like the persistent pregnancy and Oniku as a companion
  • A conclusion to the story (maybe 3 or 4 endings, depending on status + final choices)
Sorry for the long post, once again, thank you all for enjoying the remake and the support given so far, merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone :D!

You and your companion do need to get some rest, after all, uploading the version at this date would be beyond my expectations.

What comes next after that, you need not worry about, I will take my time rewriting the script, and I'm confident enough to tell you that I've used almost everything available in the original version, and I'm sure you'll be impressed by it by that point.

But for now, my friend, it's time to spend the time on yourself and get some rest.

First thing, maybe it's time to go to bed? Good night eroism Santa.

You both have done amazing work and have gone above and beyond what could reasonably be expected of an entire team, let alone two people! Enjoy your month off and please send our gratitude to your partner-in-crime as well. You've made an excellent game and have consistently been a ray of sunshine around here, so if anyone deserves a break, it's you.

Thank you for all your hard work this year Eroism, here's to a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for you and your buddy.

Merry Christmas and happy new years! The fact you two managed to get all this done before Christmas is astonishing, a true wonder. You mentioned hiring a artist to create more scenes, I'd love to help support this excellent remake if possible. I can't offer much, but I'll do what I can.

Great to see the game being finished to the point the OG was at. You definitly deserve a long period of rest.

can't wait to see how you are going to expand on the game and how your own project is going to look like in the future.

I think Disinfectant herb drop rates and enemy encounter rates need to be adjusted. Not sure if it's just the Xmas event mode skewing things, but it's been virtually impossible for me to create Bandages for over an hour and a half of gameplay. I've unlocked the shop, made it to the sewers, crafted a bow, dagger, leather armor, and buckler. I just can't manage to gather ANY disinfectant herbs.

I greatly appreciate the loyalty to the original, but some of these frustrating mechanics should be further streamlined, like with enemy item drops (which feel great in comparison.)

Is it just a single .exe? It seems like whenever I try to launch it, it opens up for a few seconds and crashes...

Getting a crash on one of the three banana bug scenes (dazed 2 I assume). Happens right as it's going to be revealed.

If you want to see the rest of the scene, you have to press the skip button in the top right just as it starts pulsing for the transformation. The pulsing part is the only bugged part so once you skip over that, the rest of the scene should work perfectly fine. That's all we can do currently
