Hello everyone! It's been almost a week since Gynocracy launched in Early Access and I'm very humbled by the response so far, thank you all very much. I'd like to take this opportunity to clarify some frequently raised issues.

Release of new chapters

Each chapter takes about two months to produce. Chapter 4 was completed in August. Chapter 5 is currently about 50% done, so you should expect it to be available in late October/early November. Please keep in mind that this is a single-dev project and things outside my control can happen, so don't take this as set in stone, but this is the general idea.

Localization

Will the game be translated into [insert your favorite language]? I can't say yet. I would like the game translated into as many languages as possible, but only after it comes out of Early Access. The reason for this is that localization would complicate the release of new chapters at this stage + I want to be able to easily tweak existing chapters as needed.

Game choices, paths

The first three chapters are fairly linear to establish the game world and story. In chapter 4, things start to diverge based on your choices. These divergences revolve around the main couple, the protagonist and his wife. The changes are subtle at first, but the idea is to make them deeper and deeper. From the feedback I've gotten so far, there are a lot of different expectations for how our heroes' relationship should evolve, so I want to let the players decide.

Steam Reviews

If you have played the game, please, please, please consider writing a review steamthumbsup steamthumbsdown. So far, only a tiny fraction of players have left a review. In addition to providing feedback to the developers, reviews affect the visibility of the game on Steam and are therefore extremely important, especially for small indie games like Gynocracy.

Feedback

I want to hear your feedback! Tell me what you liked, what you didn't like, what you'd like to see more of (or less of). Even though I have the whole story outlined, I'm not afraid to change things based on player feedback :) Thank you and have fun!
