Wow, that's some crazy unfortunate timing - I'm sure your fiancée and kids were very sad to hear you wouldn't be able to join them as planned. Hopefully your back heals quickly and you don't have to put the visit off for too long!

So, for the questions:

1. A swing might work, but knowing Gwen she'd get too excited and overly-enthusiastic and make herself worse...

2. Girls at Love 4 won't turn, but anyone below that once you hit Act Three has a chance to. Some will fight for your enemies and others will simply "nope" outta town.

3. Always possible that one of the Boss Girls will turn out to be a short, ginger girl. There's 40-something districts in the first map alone, after all! :P

From the description, your fiancée sounds Scottish. I was actually born there, and most of my family still lives there. So maybe they know her ;)

I've had no rest, no breaks and no weekends for the last four weeks as I've worked on this next update but I'll be taking a week off at the end of the month to recover a little, haha.

Fingers crossed for your quick recovery and that you don't have to postpone your trip too long!

Thank you so much for your heartfelt, kind message, Arc, it means more to me than you can know. Due to the long healing and having to be off work for much of the 3 months or so, I honestly don't know how long it will be before I can see my fiancee and our girls again and I probably won't be able to hold our girls even then, which is a bit depressing to say the least and my fiancee and our babies were absolutely devastated to hear of the injury and such a massive setback. My fiancee has tried to put a brave face on it, but the worry and disappointment have really taken their toll on her.

Lol you're very right, my fiancee lives in NE UK but has lots of relatives in Scotland and her accent is a mix of Scottish and Geordie (the accent around the Newcastle upon tyne area). She's absolutely delightful and I could and often do listen to her talk for hours. Lol maybe your family do indeed know her. I haven't been to Scotland yet but we're very close to the border. I absolutely love life in the NE UK and can hardly wait to go home. And I'm very, very glad that you're planning some time off to finally rest. I know you've been working hard on CK and I'm beyond grateful as are all of your adoring fans in our CK family, but it's important to get plenty of rest and some Arc time too.

Thank you for answering my questions again, I just have two more, one is actually more of an observation though, really.

The only main girls I have without full hearts are Chastity, Morgana and Lyx, all of which I know come later (in more ways than one?). Though I think the real personality of Chloe might wanna stab the MC in the neck. Repeatedly. Lol. But is there a possibility of side girls (Jessica's friends, Molly, etc) turning? Doesn't seem likely, just curious.

And my adoration of you has just gone up 1000%, it sounds like due to the combat system, crafting, and the effect of choices, it sounds like CK will have a HUGE replay value, the game changing if we go back and make different choices. CK, in my humble opinion, is truly the best of the best games but this will truly seal the deal, putting it in a league of its very own.

Much love Arc, and thank you again for absolutely everything and for being the most amazing, caring and diligent dev ever. Idk how many others would care enough to message their fans and I know we all truly appreciate it.

Again sorry for another huge wall of text. I keep doing that. Sorry, Arc.

I mean every word, and I shall keep my fingers crossed for your speedy recovery! They're dong amazing things with physical therapy these days :)

As to your question (I could only see one?), there is a possibility that side girls will turn on you if you haven't fully interacted with them in Act Two, but it will be rare - most often they'll just disappear when the war kicks off. In those cases there will be small amounts of lore you can find, indicating what happened to them.

I'm hoping that the new systems give players a lot to engage with, without feeling grindy or forced. CK is my first game, and so it's very much an experiment in seeing what works and what doesn't. I hope you enjoy the new stuff, though!

And seriously - get well soon! :)

I truly, deeply appreciate the warm wishes for a speedy recovery. It’s been about two and a half weeks and I’m already feeling a bit better, less pain at least but still can’t walk or even stand for long periods of time. So Monday is going to be quite a treat, I’m truly looking forward to seeing your latest masterpiece.

Lol you have me a bit worried there, Arc. Now I’m tryna think if I’ve interacted with all of the side girls enough. 🤣

I truly appreciate everything you’ve done and continue to do, it means more to me than you know and CK has helped me get through the rough, painful days and weeks of healing and will continue to do so. So truly, thank you Arc. ☺️
