the only thing that's confusing to me is what's James role is supposed to be, as the focus very quickly shifts away from him and staying on Sarah and Billy
A lot of things may seem clearer at the end of chapter 1, but the story of James is just beginning. This is chapter 1 out of 6 in the script, once it is done I am starting to work on chapter 2. This will be a big game. James place in everything will become clearer and clearer as he goes through the lives of other people.
reezed up after the second phase of the shadow boss (after the two Sarah boss phases) with the following: "Uncaught LoadError,chrome-extension://njgcanhfjdabfmnlmpmdedalocpafnhl/movies/wallslam.webm,() => { this._element.load(); }".
You did not miss anything, this is the point where the game will calculate what ending you will get, but those are not reachable natively at this point. Equipment will affect this btw, some of that is in, some of it is not, yet.
Apart from the overall impression, I drafted up some bugs/findings during my playthrough based on the notes I've been taking:
ACT1
Typo on act name (re-emergAnce)
Originally it was a typo, one I have made so consistently that I have decided to go with it. Reemergance does have a slightly different meaning in universe than reemergence. Maybe I will fix it...
Not a fan of the Euthanasia fight - shock too op and otherwise the fight is simple, there's no strategy just a binary check of whether you equipped the shock-resistant card (supposed to be a tutorial?)
Yes, it is supposed to force you to try the card. But it is a bit uninteresting as a fight, combat gets updated and fiddled with continuously, the oldest fights are the ones that has gotten the least amount of polish so far. That will change, but there is a lot to do.
The muzzle flash for Billy appeared for James, probably because I took off the Deerhunter 3 form Billy and gave it to James (probably shouldn't be able to do it)
This is the reason, will have to think about this one.
White text in white background during the pc section is hard do read - one of the options (third one I think) seems to be broken Sad
I hate the look of all the computer stuff, it will be completely remade at some point.
that can't bait enemies into beartraps
One day.
Bugfixes:
Thanks for the extensive reports, adding all new things to the lists.
Knife attack under skills just worse version of regular attack?
It's the same, someone asked me to put it in the "knifebox" so they would not have to go back when they noticed they did not have enough swagger for cuttabitch.
the gun is "now not the right time" - framing implies it's out and should be useable.
The functionality for Jackie-0 is just not done, will be working on it soon though since its more featured in the haterun section of the game.
