You're welcome! I did download and use the updated version. I'm also having the bug that others have shown in screenshots where the chats will post all of the text from before in the first one. Also, when starting a new game, the icons for some of the guys and PC were already changed to the faces (and shoes in Leland's case XD). So far I've done Leland's route and was just finishing Hugo's when the game froze on me and I couldn't move forward or click on anything, and then when I hit the escape key I couldn't save or return or anything, either. I ended up ALT+F4-ing the game. I'll try it again and see if it has that same error. And one final bit of feedback: could a skip/fast forward button/shortcut be added (I did discover that 'A' makes it auto-forward! Yay!)? I like to have a different name for every route. That's all the feedback and bugs I have! (for now ^-^; sorry for all this.)
Thanks for reaching out, and there's no reason to apologize whatsoever! Bug reports are monumentally helpful ^^ Luckily, all of the bugs you've reported are ones that we're already aware of and are working on, so there should be an update soon \o/ (the general error when loading up a saved game where everything appears in a big bubble may take a bit longer, though, as that one's tricky).
The only outlier in your message is the freezing during Hugo's route. We've only received one other report of a freeze, and it was during another route and couldn't be replicated. It's possible that it could be an issue with a user's high CPU or RAM memory usage, but we're going to continue looking into it on our end!
Other than that, I hope you're enjoying the game! o7
I reloaded my Hugo save and tried it again to see if it was from playing so long before and it froze again. I reloaded a third time and tried the other option and it went forward just fine. I assume that means there's an error in the script somewhere that makes that option being chosen bring everything to a screeching halt. I took a screenshot of it.
Of course! And it's okay, selecting the other option let me finish it. ^_^
I'm on Ansel's route now and just encountered another bug XD On the topic of the bunny stickers. He says "Kind of off topic, but gosh I can't get over how cute the bunny is", the conversation continues about how it normally does, though with slight differences, then he says "Kind of off topic, but gosh I can't get over how cute the bunny stickers are :3" and has the normal conversation that comes after that. I assume that the slightly different version is his route-specific dialog, while the other way is his everyone-else's-route dialog. I took screenshots of that as well. ^_^
Oh, I've also noticed that after selecting a route, often there seems to be no music. I noticed it with Sasha's and Ansel's so far.
Also, I've beta tested a lot of games at this point, of course I'm patient! ^_^ I'm also working on programming my own otomes, though using RenPy.
In the first game you play with the guys, if you select to tell Yuugo for your question "You've switched sexes for a day! What do you do?" in the chat when you send it to him it just has the "You've switched sexes for a day!" but it does have the other part when he presents it to the rest of the group.
Also, I believe this one is already kind of in the 'Known bugs' log, but in Yuugo's route when loading a save in the chat that happens after a particular server notification on Day 8 (or is it 9? I don't quite remember, haven't had much sleep and I lose track of the days in-game anyways ^_^;) it displays that chat and shows that your character is typing, but never moves past that. If I load before that in a chat, it has the bug of showing that your character is typing but never moving past it. I took a screenshot of the Yuugo route specific bug, but I won't post it here so no spoilers ^_^
You're totally fine ^^ <3
Actually, would you mind sending me an email at deeoddgames@gmail.com ? I have some things I would like to ask you!
