Ehhhhhhhhhhh I meaaaaan kiiiiinda? 😅 The "death flags" are easy to spot. As in "girl tries to kiss you and you say no" styles of flags. The other part, having enough relationship points is another topic, but so far I've been very generous with them and there isn't stuff that's locked behind "need 100% of all points" or anything similar. As long as you start focusing that girl more and more in later updates, you're fine.
You (atm at least) don't instantly lose routes. There are two choices (which are very clear in ep4) where game counts towards losing certain routes, but even those choices aren't instant route enders ^^. More like "do something like that again and it will probably end their route next time".
In current ep1-4 you dont have any such point of choosing yet ^^ And in future updates, while not yet 100% so don't quote me on it, idea is to "lose" one by one girl by choices/denying them/relationship points throughout regular play. Maybe if you manage to have multiple even through all that I could make a screen where you choose. But yea, first option I mentioned is my way I'm aiming for.
If there is no crash message in Renpy style, then it's on your side. One of only things that come to mind is possibly pc thinking it's a suspicious file, it can happen rarely and randomly with some games in Renpy that use a custom launch icon. - You could try -> deleting the game and trying to reinstall/reunzip - Try installing in a different folder (Desktop) - Pause any Antivirus that might block it and see if it can launch
It happens very very rare and there is no simple universal solution if that's the case.
Well no, some also play for the story and the developed characters, and many non h games truly shine in that department because not being harem allows them to show the deep characteristics and how different characters might react in the same circumstances (plot/story wise) compared to each other. In harem games the game is a lot more linear in terms of events as you have to follow a certain line so each of the girls of the harem can have their turn. Which is also fine, I enjoy a lot of harem games. But I wanted mine the way it is so it can be a bit less linear as pointed above, and some of my fav games are those non harem games, like your hated leap of faith, summer heat, ripples, pale carnations, and more. Again, to each their own, you have certain values you look for in games (harem and scenes with all girls) while others (like Samu and most of my players) have other values they search for. I see no reason to project your personal take onto someone's else (especially someone who posted 159 days ago...)
Yesn't! In the end you can only date 1 girl yes, but you aren't punished a lot early game (and this is all still early with latest Ep4) if you are checking the other girls and their paths at the moment. As the game progresses you'll have to slowly start focusing on one girl, as it will be harder and harder to keep highest points and paths with all girls at once ^^
Valid comment! Yep in rework that segment got slightly tweaked. Avis technically also commented on it before, but yeah. Before it was also weird bcs if you selected to not help Simon, you'd literally watch it all happen 3 m away from it, and then playing dumb when he asks about it 🤣 That and some other sections got tweaked so now we always help our bro out.
As I said, Eiko is the main reason, but not the only reason of the rework. I've listed numerous other reasons, with few more not listed here as the post was already longer than any other I did. Secondly, that's exactly the point. Nobody cares about Eiko. Literally. That's the whole point. She is done so badly, and has so little involvement in game, that nobody cares about her. Neither as a main favorite, secondary... Just like you.
And that's exactly why she needs fixing. Both Simon and Falazio have more dialogue then her. Even Soo-Ah had around the same, and she appeared in a single scene/section 🤣
No, you were warned to stop spamming and asking random questions, and after affirming yourself that you heard it loud and clear you ask that weird about my gender out of nowhere.
Nope, it's impossible, there is a reason why no vns are there. Renpy wont work there, as it's not possible for us to release such games on App store, which is the only way to make apps work.
Kinda. Script/dialogue stays 80% the same. I am removing bits that made no sense/were from the initial and much different Fates narrative. Also fixing some pacing, creepy choices, and characters inconsistencies. I am however redoing all old renders, so they are finally the same characters designs and not changing from one episode to the other. So ep1-2 all renders redone, ep3 partially, ep4 nothing. Fixing some music and sound too.
That's of course the tl:dr kinda, there is so much work to do ^
I don't really have a list of all songs, and some will get changed in next update to reflect a few things.
Hmm no idea about Android (if thats the app meaning). But players will have to start from scratch in ep4.5 anyway so yeah, at least for next release, reinstall is probably needed. (unless you are on pc, no need to "reinstall" the game)
She is a slow character, but yes, she getting some love too. I am (in ep4.5 Redone version) giving her slightly more visibility in early episodes/content (alongside some other girls), but she will also be main focus with Serena and one more in Episode 5 too (the camera thingie she talked about ^^)
First of all, as always, this game isn't for everyone as some clearly have certain preferences. Have you played any games rendered in Daz, like Summer Heat, Summers Gone, Badik, etc.? It's essentially the same principle as them, and there is a vast amount of non-harem games, it's just that the almost never exist in hs1/2 space for whatever reason besides mine. Maybe this comparison helps. So you can if you wish instantly lock on one girl you like, but there is no real downsides exploring and getting to know girls as you wish initially. Only later on in the game do you have proper drawbacks if you tried to pursue each of the 7 girls at same time, as it's impossible to have high points with all girls at same time, and some choices will be locked due to points. Moreover, that's also what my players enjoy, the whole point is to replay few times, see how things can effect the characters, what happens if you go with someone instead of another etc. That's the main draw to it, and obviously it's not for everyone.
2. While 7 is a lot, I don't think it's over the top, honestly I don't know a single non harem game with only 3 girls, that would be boring especially if zero girls picked any interest to the player. Balancing is hard, but I am trying my best to give the spotlight to all girls, with some fixes in ep4.5 already + ep5 being focused on lesser screentime girls. And I love all my girls, ain't no way I am cutting one 😊
3. Hm idk how to answer the latter points. Yeah, friendship, relationships and dating is the main motive, with the other being related to certain aspects with parts showcased slightly throughout ep1-4. Parties there will be quite a bit, it's an university setting and I've had my own big share of them throughout. People loved ep3 party and there will be more in future with branching parts and choices ^^
4. and 5. Uhhhh well it's a hit or miss, can't hook everyone with humor. Soli gave me a cup that says "best dev with jokes" so I guess at least some jokes players enjoy 🤣Maybe you going crazy, but he is a goofball for the most part. And a bro.
I appreciate feedback and for the most part I don't mind discussing my stances, as sometimes that can lead to improvements or open-mindness, however I am also not changing the core structure of my game to cater to any categories of players.
19 so it should be relatively easy. Also, if you dont stop posting constantly the exact same comments again and again and again I'll ban you from this thread, yes, I understood and saw your comments, the first, second and third time.
Unfortunately I have no idea about Android (and can barely install on my old phone) but I saw this what one user did. He said he has phone in debug mode.
"for future reference i was able to just use file explorer on windows 10, navigating to this folder ~\Internal shared storage\android\data\com.katanavn.fatescollide\files\saves then navigated to here ~\Internal shared storage\android\data\com.fatescollide.release\files\saves renamed persistent to persistent.old and then pasted the contents"
Have enough relationship points with her Ep4> Go with Falazio and not Raiko (movie) > choose Koko options at the party and ignore Soo-Ah > if you got enough options she will approach you when you exit the bathroom and you can choose to pursue more with her
Aw, well that uni part I already slightly edited in ep4 to be at least a bit more unique but I guess it wasn't enough. But yeah, you can expect some newer stuff for sure, and some old stuff but slightly fixed/improved.
