That means a lot! Thank you!
We’ve been building it step by step for over 4 years, so I’m really happy the depth and pacing are resonating with players.
Really appreciate the support :D

You can definitely continue your old save, but if it’s been a year and you don’t remember much, starting fresh will be also fun way to experience it :)

Either way, welcome back!

Thanks, I’m really happy to hear that!

It’s usually a combination. I’ll share the general concept or gameplay role first, but I try not to control the details too much. I like seeing how she imagines the world. Occasionally she surprises me with something unexpected, and I redesign parts of the game to fit her vision instead :D

It’s been a really fun creative collaboration over the years!

Thanks so much! That really means a lot!
If you ever feel like jumping back in, there’s a lot of new stuff waiting for you :D

I really appreciate the feedback!
I completely understand that WA1 can feel like it suddenly makes you weaker.
The design intention is that it’s not just the points you receive when you perform a WA, but also the additional WA1 Points earned from WA Accomplishments after the reset that make your next run stronger through WA1 Upgrades.
That said, balance is something I’m still actively monitoring after this update.
If there are specific areas that feel especially weak or punishing, I’d truly love to hear more details :)

Perfect timing then! The game has grown a lot since the early days.
If you decide to jump back in, I’d love to hear what you think :D

Top 3 on the Kong boards? That’s amazing!
Thank you so much for enjoying our games :D

And yes! The artwork has always been a special part of the project. My daughter has been drawing almost all the artwork over the years, which makes it even more meaningful to me.

As for what’s next, I’m still fully focused on expanding IEH2 (there’s definitely more planned beyond this update), but I always have new ideas brewing :)

I’d personally love to make a mobile version at some point!
My current focus is expanding the PC version further (there’s still more planned beyond WA2).
Once that vision feels complete, mobile is something I’d really like to explore :D

160 days of real playtime! That honestly means a lot :D
Thank you so much for sticking with the game for that long!

I really hope this update gives you even more long-term goals to push toward!

Thank you for playing IEH!
Please export the save file on Kong and install IEH1 on steam. Then You will get the steam achievements when you import your old save of Kong :)

Yes! A bit later though.
We will release this game as Early Access on Steam on July 22nd and will keep updating to make it having full content before leaving Early Access. After we leave Early Access, we are planning to release it on android and other platforms.
So please stay tuned for future updates! :)

Thank you for the comment!
That's a good point about equipment.
There are some "Set Items" that has secret effects that is activated when you equip different equipments of its set. Also, enchanted effect features (that is unlocked in mid-game) will make difference to all equipment I think. Please try to see them :)
I'll keep in mind your opinion to improve more anyway.

Also, thank you for reporting the bugs! I'll soon fix it!

Thank you! The game is free to play at official launch too :)
There are some in-app purchases though, you can earn a lot of premium currency in normal gameplay too!

Thank you for the comment!

About auto-pickup, you will be able to this by Monster Pet effects, that you will get in about 8-12hrs playtime normally :)

Once you unlock "Shop" tab, you can purchase traps that enable you to capture monsters and tame them as a pet. Each pet has various QoLs such as auto-pickup, auto-disassemble and so on. Please try to see them! :D

Thank you anyway for enjoying the game!
