It lives... AGAIN!
Glad you're picking up this project again! I'm looking forward to any updates from this, but yeah, take care of yourself first and foremost.

THE GAME COMES OUT IN ONE WEEK
While we were off mourning the site, zDS was on that eternal grindset. Congratulations on finishing the game!
4/16/24 Update
I don't think I've ever heard a more apt description of game development as "rolling a boulder up a hill" I'm going to steal this.
Anyway, while the idea of short but frequent releases was a good one, it's good to drop it if you find it doesn't work for your game anymore. However you decide to release it is up to you. I just think that you should get playtesting in sooner rather than later since you already have 7 whole hours of content now.
Also, I wouldn't worry TOO much about spoiler screenshots. Obviously don't give away major plot twists or moments, but depending on the context, certain screenshots of late game events can establish mystery and intrigue to the player, or establish base plot moments to make plot twists more impactful when actually playing. Like, "Oh here's a screenshot of these two characters being friends. WAIT WE'RE FIGHTING NOW IN GAME?! NOOOO!!!!"

Game is released!
CONGRATULATIONS!!
It's such a huge accomplishment to bring a game to completion, and I know how hard you've been working on this. Now take a rest. You've certainly earned it!
Everyone, go play this game! It's a fun little labor of love that deserves more attention!

Dev Log #7: Onto The Final Chapter
Commercial? Free? Other? IDK YET
Going into commercial game dev hoping for a "hit" will only lead to disappointment. Earning a respectable income won't come from one or two games.
That said, have you considered Patreon or Ko-fi? That could be a way to earn money while still releasing the game the way you want to. It probably/definitely won't be much, but maybe it's a middle ground between extra income and more players?

Novel Meets Game
Mechanics are there to improve the experience, and if you think they hinder the experience, removing them is something to be celebrated, not nervous about.
Good luck with development!

'Leafko - Chapter 5' is available now!
Awesome! I can't wait to try it out!
I really love how different and varied the supporting cast has been so far, and Kazar is no exception. I'm excited to see what he gets up to in this chapter.

'Leafko - Chapter 5' realeases in September!
Looks good! Environments are looking clean as always, and I'm interested in seeing the different ways you can tackle the infiltration mission.
This statement alone piques my interest in Kazar's gameplay style. Can't wait to see more!
But if he misses, his short temper can be a problem for him.
