I'll do my best to make sure you continue to love it as well!

I have looked into it, but it seems like it involves quite a process to package properly involving downloading a couple of external apps to convert. So I don't think it's something I'll be committing to for the current builds. Once it's in a more complete state I think it will make more sense for me to approach. But for the Windows and Mac versions is all I can properly manage.
It depends on what you mean actually. She SHOULD display if your armor is broken. However when thinking about it more I think there is an oversight should your clothes get stolen by the Drunkard that I didn't properly implement.
So if it's the latter I can make a fix for that easily. If it's NOT I'll need a few more details to figure out what's going wrong. So just let me know what exactly happened in that case, and I'll try to fix it.
Between changes to character designs, and the finalization of the script, not to mention voice acting, a number of scenes are simply too out dated for me to want to share. But since I use them as a reference for what I still need to redraw I leave them intact as a guide. So I opted to remove the access.
A proper scene viewer will be implemented before the games final release so you'll be able to view all the final art in game. It just wont be implemented quite yet.
Yes. This demo effectively covers Chapters 3 and 4 (though it doesn't display the title card for 4 in this build.)
I don't want to give away TOO much but the first 2 chapters are a bit of a genre shift to the rest of the game and don't feature much of the mechanics. I probably will not include them in the demo until much closer to the games full release. Don't want people to have too much time to figure out all the twists they set up early!
There must be an error with the scene trigger when collecting the silver ore. Sorry about that!
This was just a placeholder system until a more proper "mini game" style event is added in, which will hopefully be included in the next demo alongside the graphics and voice acting updates. Please look forward to that!
Hey there! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And thanks so much for all the feedback! It's much appreciated!
Yeah so, for some reason the game consistently failed to deploy if the "faces" folder was present at all. So I knew there were going to be problems. I opted to simply remove it, and then manually insert it again in the deployed game. As far as I could tell all of the files were in the proper format so I have no idea what the issue was, but it's a headache I'm gonna have to solve for a stable build. I'll pry have to recreate the folder and insert every expression one at a time and see which one is causing the deployment to fail. (As a further note, test running the game never has any issues with the faces folder, it was just when trying to deploy the exe which usually means an improper file type is present in the files.)
The armor breaking is interesting as well. I can't say I've had it infinitely loop but I'll make sure to look into it. The additions of various armor types may well have caused some line of the code to get jumbled up by mistake.
As for combat, yeah I'm still working on balancing that out. The final game will likely include stronger versions of all enemies that replace the weaker ones as you do milestones (Like fixing the bridge, or clearing out the Thief hideout.) As the only solution. I like that you can go dual daggers and hit twice. I don't like that you can hold a gun and still attack twice. But I also think equipping a gun is necessary to use the skills. But yeah I too haven't found a viable solution. On the plus side, ammo meant you couldn't spam abilities like stun shot which you could use to stun lock most everything in the game before lol. But like you said, being able to hit twice for basic attack makes that almost a moot point.
One thing I REALLY wanted to include in this demo but just didn't have time to finish was a set of bestiary style items. I wanted to put them all around the world and they'd teach the player what magical spells enemies are weak to and what certain status effects did and all that. So checking the Witch's books was the right choice...if only I had finished the relevant items haha. Next time though!
As for the Hud, that was a very last minute change. Since new armors were added in, and the original armor gauge was linked JUST to Red's main outfit. I didn't want a situation where you could be wearing say, the Hoodie, at 20% armor, while your gauge shows your main outfit has 80% and get confused when your armor breaks. I simply opted to turn the gauge off for this current build . I think a reworked version will be added back in though. Pry without numbers to match the rest of her gauges as just an indicator of how much or how little you've got.
Seriously though I super appreciate this message! Players like you are the biggest help with figuring out where the real problems are that I can't find on my own, or what sorts of tweaks need to be made since I know how EVERYTHING works behind the scenes. And of course, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! That makes me super happy and excited to get back to work on it! Please continue to enjoy your time with Project Red!
Sorry for the late response! I was taking time off for the holidays.
The dildo should be usable from the main menu once you get it. There's no associated event image at the moment but it will cure Red of any lust related negative statuses.
The vibrator on the other hand should be equipped to Reds underwear. It likewise has no real event images yet but it'll boost your LP gained from other events as long as you wear it. Hope that helps!
In the future I hope to add new and edited versions of existing scenes that make use of these items should the player have them, but for now they're purely just functional in terms of mechanics.
Yeah that's real strange. Unfortunately I can't say I've seen that issue on the computers I was able to test on so I'm really not sure how to resolve it. The only thing I can really suggest for now is to delete it and wait for the November 28th update, and see if that version gives you the same issues or not. I'll see if I can find an alternate way to package the game for the update as well, that might be more user friendly. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
I had a friend with windows 10 mess with it. And this was the solution we found.
If you run as administrator you should get a different pop up saying that "Windows prevented an unrecognized app from starting"
There should be a "More info" button you can press on that same window that will give you the option to open the game anyways. Do that and it should run properly, but if it doesn't let me know and I can try looking into it further.
I plan to have an update out before the end of the month, but no specific date in mind yet as I'm still working on things I want to add.
I'll post a dev log with more details on what that will entail later today or tomorrow.
The FJ scene is not finished so it's not present, the HJ scene was SUPPOSED to be there and is technically present, however the trigger for it is out dated do to a last minute change, so I don't believe it can be properly accessed. That'll be another thing fixed with the upcoming update.
