Imperial Chronicles [Lazy Monkey] [v0.8]

Hi. Here is version 0.8. As you may have noticed, I slightly delayed the release of the update, especially my work slowed down at the end. The thing is, I’m a little burnt out, but don’t worry, I still enjoy developing the game a lot. I’m physically burned out – I’ve been at the computer almost all the time for the last few months and, to be honest, I’m tired. So for the last week, I’ve been touching the grass (snow) almost all the time, paying attention to development for only a few hours a day, which slowed down the release of the update. Since the update has been released, I think I’ll spend a couple more days taking healing walks in the fresh air and return to development on March 4. Over the past few months, several questions and complaints have accumulated against me, which I want to answer.

1) The most frequent complaint is about the English translation. I use ChatGpt for it, and in this update I decided to try deepseek, of course the neural network makes mistakes, sometimes it does not understand the context, and sometimes it is frankly delusional. Due to my poor knowledge of the language, I correct translations as best I can. But if you find a mistake, send it to me. I accumulate such reports, and when a large critical mass is formed, I correct everything that has been sent in recent months at a time. I also get help from some people who send me a ready-made version where they fixed a lot of errors themselves. Thank you! I would mention your nicknames, but I don’t know if you want to (if you do, be sure to write to me.

2) The second issue/complaint is that the content is not evenly distributed throughout the game, and some roots/characters have more content than others. What I can say about this is that I didn’t expect people to play in multiple ways right away, which means they would notice that some path hadn’t been worked out enough yet. Of course, I will not scold the players for playing in a way that I did not originally intend. All I’m saying is – don’t worry. I will try to close EVERY path in the game and fill it with enough content. So if you think that the path you’ve chosen is meager for events, that’s just for now.
