Wow, man! This game is sooooo deep. I've learned a lot of new information and tools you are used are so cool. Did they cost you any money or they are free to use? Good job! One of my favorites!

The cost varies on the tools.
The audio and music are free. The music requires you request access from Google, but they grant pretty easily. I had to do a little editing on the music to make it loop properly.
You can get free image generation, but I paid for Runpod.io servers with Stable Diffusion Automatic1111, which are amazingly easy to set up. They charge about 35c per hour and a 512x512 image takes 2s to generate. I use the background remover tool, which makes it take about 12s per image, but I just let it run while I code and then come back to browse the image gallery of 20 images for the one I like. I also used a bit of ControlNet on Scuba Steph to get the poses. There was cleanup on a number of the images needed, and I did some compositing on Scuba Steph.
Thanks for the reply. By the way, I recorded a video where I play your game among other games. If you interested to see that start around minute 34:00 https://youtu.be/rrcP1iedi5E?si=34O4aE06oUQHqi9F
