No, my principal language is Italian. I speak English, but I would like play in my main language when the game will be completed
There won't be any "official" translation. The way the game is written, it would be very difficult to translate. (It's not like most Ren'Py games in that a lot of the dialogue is generated on-the-fly). I know the Italian modding community is robust, and somebody may attempt it after the final release.

For those of y’all that have sent me messages on the subject, a slightly longer, more detailed explanation can be found .

(I'm not committing to this per se, but this gives me a ruler to measure progress against. It's entirely possible some things could be speeded up, given the amount of testing that's already been done.)

There will be more information on Patreon/SubscribeStar/Discord come Friday. Blame this on my recent medical issues...

Finally? You are allowed to go on with this game!
❤❤❤

Hehehe. Although it sometimes feels like a neverending soap opera, Confusion is a complete story with a start, middle, and ending. I wrote it during the pandemic, and it was always planned this way from the start. This last release should have been out three months ago, but my medical situation has, well, added unwanted time to the production schedule.

I don't believe in "making it up as I go" like a lot of devs here. First and foremost, I fashion myself a storyteller, and stories need to be thought out in order to plan for story beats, surprise twists, and to foster natural character development.

The ending doesn't necessarily preclude a possible sequel (you'll see...), but my supporters wanted me instead to spend time on a new title which I've been working on in the background during my many "hurry-up-and-wait" rendering sessions. Although I still have some work to do preparing an extended version of the game for a Steam release, I've been fleshing out the story for University Trans-fer (again, a complete script, beginning to end) but a little longer this time around: 21 planned releases covering four years of university life for the MC. But this time, hopefully with more frequent/less involved releases. And, a substantially lighter tone overall. I hope to have the first episode ready by autumn. Discussions about the game are still going on on my Discord, if anyone wants to contribute!

By the way, I wrapped up production on the finale yesterday (see: already a couple of days late!) and will start beta-testing on Monday, so if anyone is interested in helping by putting some serious testing effort in (not just trying to see the ending sooner), drop me a message on my . Just so you know, this is a long release, with between 90 and 150 minutes of new content, depending on the routes you take...

I think it's a good thing that Confusion has an ending.
This will make it a story with a feeling of completeness.

And that don't prevent you to create a sequel in the future if you have the inspiration from another story with the same characters.
Well unless Confusion end with something like "... and then, they all die in a plane crash" :)

Plane crash? Nah, I would never write anything so pedestrian. Magic portal to the netherworld, ruled by succubi, demons, and . . . Kevin.

Are the savegames ok? Because you updated Ren'py. I have read somewhere here that saves will break.
