Currently, I am working alone, but I am seeking assistance. Here is something I wrote to someone who contacted me on Discord:

So, first of all, I need the person helping me to fix the game bugs to be familiar with Ren'py so that they can precisely point out where the bug is located and potentially how to fix it (in the future, a closer collaboration may arise, to be evaluated). Additionally, I need someone who not only knows Ren'py but also can work on the GUI and help make the game more visually appealing. There are several improvements to be made to the game, and I am looking for collaborators who believe in the project and are willing to get involved.


Then:

Regarding English, I am trying to improve it, and I am using AI a lot to help me with translations (in fact, I am currently writing the game in Italian and having the AI translate the dialogues, after which I check for any issues. This method is greatly simplifying things for me and speeding up my work).

This is not an entirely new "Rebuild." It's the same "Rebuild" for which the first two episodes (weeks) have been released.
It's a demanding project, but if I continue to have the time, I can now move it forward as I used to before the Covid, with a reasonable release schedule.


For those concerned about seeing only things they've already seen in the original version of the game:
The plots are very similar, but all the storylines have more details, and the characters are more deeply characterized. There will be far fewer dead ends (meaning paths that didn't develop) and much less time wasted in plot development. I'm adding and will add more crucial events instead of repeating the same dialogues for several weeks to trigger an event.
On one hand, I'm simplifying the game, but on the other hand, I'm still filling it with content.

"Likely in a few days"... it was unlikely to happen but almost got my hopes up for a minute. Would like to see it return someday though

YES, it seems like an eternity, but we are working on it. I have people helping me fix the bugs, we are refining the GUI, and optimizing certain aspects of the game. I am very happy with the result, and I finally see the game taking the shape I wanted to give it. In the meantime, I am working on a surprise for Patreon supporters and already planning Week 4. Yes, I am doing a lot of things, but I am full of energy and eager to continue the game to show you everything that will happen in New Coral. Please bear with me for a little longer; it will be worth it.

Stoked to see this hopefully reappearing soon to get to go through again but with it all being a bit less tangled.

I am like a dog who grew an extra tail, found a bone and just realised two new lady dogs just moved into my street, where i am the only male dog!

I love this game!

Hi! I trust that you already got some help regarding these issues. If not, I would be happy to assist. Let me know :D

"Sorry, guys. I'm trying to create a GUI by myself. I'm completely incapable in this regard. Right now, I'm adding some pop-ups that appear during conversations so that the player can see the stats of the person they're talking to. I believe it's extremely useful. It takes a while to create them, to make each screen with the correct stats. Making it visually appealing will take even longer. For now, I'll settle for getting it done. Then I'll focus on the basic GUI to show the day of the week, how much money the protagonist has, and a couple of other things. Once I'm finished and the game's appearance is at least decent, I'll be able to share it. At the moment, the game is almost free of bugs (I'd say bug-free, but I don't want to jinx myself). As soon as there are things on the screen that vaguely enhance the gaming experience, I'll release the new version."

Nov 13th patreon post: "I have people helping me fix the bugs, WE are refining the GUI, and optimizing certain aspects of the game." Did something change and people are no longer helping you with the GUI, or was it "we" in the royal sense? It's tough to get a handle on things when you keep changing your statements, just saying..
