Hi Ohpal,🌟 Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊 We're thrilled that Pygmalion's visuals brought back some nostalgic vibes for you, especially the FF3-4 and Blue Dragon feels! 🎮 Your offer for sound and music work is fantastic, and we'd love to explore collaboration. Let's connect on how we can weave the perfect auditory magic into Pygmalion's enchanting journey! Join us here in our little Discord Cave! https://discord.gg/U9v3qMrg

I'm legit stoked! The 'perfomance' boost update is definitely something you could literally feel - game's smoother than my grandma's homemade pudding. They went on a bug-squishing spree, nailed 56 of those little buggers. And get this, they've been pumpin' out updates like a caffeinated beaver - 16 in total, 2-3 a week, since Version 1.1.32.
Honestly, what keeps me hooked is the storytelling. Over 30 characters, each with their own drama and skills? It's like gaming meets a soap opera. They let you explore post-war zones, set up base camps, and recruit characters, adding some real 'stradegy' vibes.
The gaming world needs more of this, where developers care about their players. Cheers to Dawn Restart for the immersive updates, even if they can't spell 'performance' right. Can't wait for the next glitch-free adventure!
