I looked into the comment from February 11, '24 saying that the GoG version is abandoned. It perhaps was at that time, yes, but the forum thread continued for another month and ended in this comment from March 24, '24: "To be fair, it must be said that at the same time they released the DLC they also uploaded the latest version of the game, so it seems that in the end they decided not to abandon the GOG version." https://www.gog.com/forum/gord/patch_14 More may have happened since, though GoG seems to be the same as Steam since March, based on dates and the addition of "The Alliance" DLC.

-- Remember to look up the making-of video on youtube posted by StateOfPlayGames -- -- Some old comment from 2016 mentions that the game isn't complete. Well, it's complete now. -- This game is for all ages. The puzzles are great, the story sweet, the main character full of spirit and ready to learn new things. I won't spoil it, just absolutely recommend it. Let me make it clear that I would have enjoyed this game just as much if I had been playing it by myself! But I played it with my then 4 year old daughter, and we both have such great memories of it. It's very hard to find games to play with a 3-5 year old kid who wants very much to sit and watch but gets scared easily. Lumino City allowed us to both play an immensely beautiful game; talk about how it was made; recognise the little everyday thingamabobs that literally went into building the world; and even have serious talks about sustainable energy sources, eco houses and forced relocation of labourers due to bad contracts, with in-game examples that she immediately grasped. I had not expected that. This game - and the cute, little proof-of-concept prequel, Lume, on Steam - are still among her favourites. I've promised her we'll replay both next year.
