Thank you for the awesome review! And yeah, there's definitely some bugs with the pronoun usage I'm planning to address in a future update. This was an issue with me using find/replace waaaay back in the process at one point, so everyone's bug reports are helping me hone on these.
All the art is sourced from artists who have graciously allowed me to use their works (often concept art, so a bit more smudged than fully finshed works) for Trigaea, sans one or two stock images I purchased. Those stock images look kind of crummy, so that might be it. Tbh, if I'd used AI art, I could have saved eight months of my life and hundreds of emails! 🫠 But I did most of Trigaea in 2019-2021 before AI art was really a Big Thing - I can't claim I was taking a stance or anything.
I'm really glad you enjoyed the game, and thank you again for sharing your experience!
