Gynocracy news & patch notes

Hello everyone,

this is hopefully the last update before the release of Chapter 11. That doesn't mean you can expect the release tomorrow, but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel \.

To recap the section list from previous update:

• Section 1: Released in Part 1

• Section 2: Released in Part 1

• Section 3: Released in Part 1

• Section 4: Released in Part 1

• Section 5: Released in Part 1

• Section 6: 100% done

• Section 7: 100% done

• Section 8: 100% done

• Section 9: 100% done

• Section 10: 98% done

• Section 11: 5% done

• Section 12: 100% done

• Section 13: 80% done

• Section 14: deferred to chapter 12

So in the end, there will be "only" 13 sections, I decided to move the 14th to the next chapter, (because it will yield a better cliffhanger, haha).

So basically there's one big scene left to be done, plus little finishing touches here and there.

I would like to conclude the story in Chapter 12, but that will require multiple story threads, i.e. a lot of content. So I may end up dividing the final chapter into parts.

You can find some preview/teaser images attached to this post, but beware of mild spoilers.

Thank you for your support and feedback. If you like the game, don't forget to write a thumb-up review for Gynocracy ;)

Enjoy the springtime, I'm heading back to my cave :)

Vroom! Vroom!

All right, you've had enough.

Oh no, not this again.

This is fine, I promise!

If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.

The plot thickens.

Get out of the way!

Could you please check to see if my shoe sole is clean?

Hello everyone,

We are starting the new year with the release of the first part of Chapter 11. As I mentioned before, I decided to divide this chapter into parts, because it was getting too long and I didn't want to keep you waiting any longer.

This release is kind of a prelude to our protagonist's life in Maidenburg Prison (spoiler!).

We will take a close look at the judicial system of Queen's Isle and explore the main character's subconscious a bit.

I have already finished a lot of artwork for future segments, so hopefully the next part will arrive soon.

While finalizing this release, I came down with a nasty flu. If the writing is poor, I'll blame it on the fever. :)

Thank you as always for your support. I hope you enjoy this update! Happy New Year!

Hello everyone!

First of all, I'd like to wish you all happy holidays! I hope you're all having a great time 🎅

Second, I'm sure you're all wondering about Chapter 11 of Gynocracy. I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that I decided to split Chapter 11 into two parts, because it was getting too long. The good news is that Chapter 11, Part 1 will be released very soon. In fact, I was originally aiming to release it before the holidays, but I wasn't able to finish it in time due to the end-of-the-year craziness. However, it's very close to completion and my new deadline is the end of the year 😅

Thank you very much for all your support, and have a great holiday season! 🎆

Hello everyone, I have just released another small update to Chapter 10. I said small, but it was actually a lot of work 😅 There are two major changes:

1) I made a lot of text fixes to the English version of the game. MagicMan753 collected hundreds of fixes and improvements, for which I am eternally grateful ❤️

2) I added translations in nine languages:

• German (AI)

• Spanish (AI)

• French (AI)

• Italian (AI)

• Simplified Chinese (AI)

• Portuguese (Brazil) (AI)

• Czech

• Polish (AI)

• Turkish (AI)

Most of these were created using AI. Let me explain. I was always a firm believer in manual translations and disliked machine translations. However, two things have recently changed my mind. Firstly, several people told me independently that any translation is better than no translation if you don't understand English well enough to enjoy the game. Secondly, advances in AI have made it possible to create translations that take larger contexts into account, yielding much better results than "old school" machine translators.

Additionally, AI translation is more flexible, because I can e.g. translate a new chapter in a matter of hours. And last but not least, it's significantly less expensive.

That said, the result is not perfect. I'm well aware of that. There are inconsistencies, and some of the translations will undoubtedly sound strange to a native speaker. I consider this an experiment. If you test any of the translations, please let me know what you think. I'm curious to hear your reactions.

Thank you! Have fun and enjoy your summer!
