*The GOG version is perfectly fine.* There's currently an ongoing misunderstanding that I'll try to clear as briefly as possible.
# As of 4 July 2024:
- the Steam version is at 1.3.3 (updated: 27 June),
- the GOG version is at 1.3.1 (updated: 03 June)
Looking at this at first glance gives the (false) impression that the GOG version is being disregarded. Worse, frequent GOG customers who have had their game's GOG version abandoned before by other companies/devs might fear that this is the case with Coromon as well. The reason why this is not the case is below:
# Looking at past updates:
Steam: 10 May 2024 update — Patch Notes 1.3.0
GOG: 2024-05-22 - update to version 1.3.0
So, if I understand correctly, *the GOG version is being properly updated and maintained*. The only caveat is that the Steam version gets the updates earlier. That's actually fine, no big deal. There must be some technical or organizational reason on the store / dev side for that being so -- I bought this game on Full price on GOG anyway because the devs really deserve the support
That being said, I think it would be really reassuring and positive for the Coromon gog community if the devs publicly commented about that (on the GOG forum for example).
That is not because this delay is a real problem. It is simply because it is way too common for some developers to leave GOG versions in the dust - sometimes for years - and people who buy on GOG are saturated and frustrated of that treatment and don't necessarily know the stance of Coromon's dev team on that.
Looking at the game page on gog at first glance really gives off that same impression. Even though it's a false impression, it takes some time to actually figure it out - we have to look at steam and GOG's update dates side by side (steam version history is crowded and requires a lot of scrolling to find release versions), look at past updates and realize that the updates always do come, there's just a small time lapse between versions.
As for me, I got this game on GOG without any worries, as I see clearly that I'm buying a properly maintained product, made by a very competent team that cares very much about their project. I don't mind the slight wait -- actually owning the game more than makes up for that (instead of a "license to play the game" that we get on Steam).
Looking forward to the 1.3.3 update :)
