itch.io

Got an error.  Sent a nude pic to Gregor the night before and talking about it with him the next day popped up an exception Chapter6_Gregor.rpyc line 107 in script ast.py line 907 Sayer b'g' is not a function or string.

For the record, you're awesome! :)  You uploaded 3.5 while I was in game with 3.3 and found the keyboard cancel key by experimenting (took me a bit to realize it was the ` key).  It's not listed in Options > Keyboard.  Then I got 3.5 and saw that the close button in the Load Menu now showed the keyboard shortcut instead of the gamepad button and there it was! lol.  I saw there are a number of other fixes in 3.5 too.  (Now one more thing: is the sword you get from the tavern... *looks around to make sure no one is listening* ... is it supposed to be extremely overpowered?)

I'm absolutely thrilled with the new content (although it does seem... emptier somehow but I think that's because there isn't a town/settlement (like the city/merc camp/smuggler's hideout) before getting to the top - so that's a 'me' thing. LOL.  But I have noticed something... trying to back out of a selection just isn't there.  For example, if you Load Game at the start, then Close, the menu doesn't come back.  Another instance: if, out of combat, you select a potion to give, you can't back up and choose a different potion (i.e. you don't need health anymore but Ash needs Ether).  You can only do that if you hit Q again.  In combat, you can't go back to the main selection of items (Attack, Skill, Magic, etc) if you accidentally chose something you didn't mean to  (i.e. Chose a skill instead of magic) before you select a target.  Basically, it acts like you're stuck in a given action even though you haven't targeted anything.  That's more of a QoL thing, though.  Also, when in a store and selecting equipment, you can't click/tab or anything on any of the character portraits so you can compare equipment (for Ash or Lyric).  It's permanently on Hero so you can't easily tell if that new outfit in the list is an upgrade for Ash.

Using the itch Desktop app and it shows that no compatible downloads can be found.

Oh!  There is one more thing I forgot to mention: The game isn't set up to work with the Itch.io desktop app (aka butler system).  I was wondering if that was in the works (to be fair, a lot of people don't realize it even exists) or if it was just going to be a website download only.

LOL!  Ok you're right.  I did say 2 and put 3.  Admittedly I was distracted at the time (I was also answering an email and listening for a knock at my door so I think I can be forgiven for that oversight).

* The English is a decent attempt but I suspect a translator was used as it is odd.  But you can figure it out.  Some of the sentences do disappear out of the text box area, though.

* A mute button would be nice... or at least a volume control.

* Bug: during the 11 trials, if you choose surrender to see that ending, all you get is a black screen.

It's a cute little game, though.

Lost all my progress due to computer issues... had to play every option again from scratch.  I forgot how well done Jamie's uncut looks.  For a moment, I was envious of Ollie. LOL. 

Btw, on the itch app, it doesn't show there's an update and when I try manually, it says 'no compatible downloads have been found'.  If it go to the website, though, I can download the file.

:O  You updated?!  I honestly thought the itch updates were done!  Wow.  Excuse me while I go and dance privately for a moment. :D

Just wanted to point out a few minor errors.  Several times, Bato's name became Barto, Ryu-ho became Lyo-ho once, and Elred's name was listed as Elered.  Other than that, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.  Interesting dynamic growing between certain characters.  It'll be interesting to see how that plays out. :)

I rather enjoyed this.  I was only disappointed that the very first guard that paid you the compliment then leered at you after (submissive choice) wasn't revisited. ;)

There is a recent progress update on Patreon (3 days ago).  Whether that translates to itch or not is anyone's guess.

Just an FYI: https://fabrikgamer.itch.io/freezer-pops

Psst... now with so many years gone by, is there any possibility you might resurrect this?  (Or maybe a reincarnation?)

It was probably fixed then.  I use the itch.io app and the default install listed is 1.4 so that's probably the one I used.  I uninstalled it so I can't be certain which one it was.

Yep, that would be it.  I didn't realize there was another side to go to.

I'm guessing something is supposed to happen at the glory hole but no matter what I chose, there's nothing.  Did I miss a trigger somewhere?

Minor issue that's existed for awhile but all of the animated scenes ignore volume controls and play regardless even if you have everything set to 0.

I played through as much as I could actively find last night and forgot to post about it when it happened, but when I went to the docks to help the eel and had the encounter with the black cobra (that venom has very interesting side effects. lol), he stayed on the screen long after I left the docks.  He didn't disappear until I entered the Tavern after.  I haven't played it since last night so I haven't tried to reproduce the bug but I felt I should at least mention it.

Edit: Now that I think about it, there was another odd thing that happened.  When I went to see Father Gustav at the chapel, after he mused about someone taking care of the pirate, the entire 'conversation' abruptly ended and I was back in the main room of the chapel again instead of sitting with Father Gustav.

This was a good chapter. :)  (Although I'm sort of sad that Oliver wasn't spitroasted between Nathan and Trent - although Trent and Gregor would be quite interesting too but by the looks of things *that* will never happen. lol  I'll just have to settle for one or the other ;) >:D ).  Looking forward to the next installment. :D

Psst... need more tiger man from the beginning of Chapter 3.  *wink wink nudge nudge*  Oh yeah, and more werewolves. :D

*pokes you with a stick*  you still alive?

I did honestly think it might've been due to branching.  I haven't explored too many other branches (kind of single-minded focus on one. lol).  :)  (also, loved Mike from the consensual... might have to kidnap him... >:) )

I was just wondering, was this update slightly shorter than normal?  It just seems like I blasted through it a lot quicker than I expected.  In any event, I'm looking forward to the next part but I'm *not* looking forward to dealing with the frenchman (heh, I'm reminded of that guy in the second Matrix movie - Merovingian?).   He swore he would get into the MC's pants, after all.

Did this game die or is it just slowly being worked on?  Just seems to be longer than usual since the last post/update.

What I was going to try: load up the game in the previous version and roll back the story a frame or two and resave at that point.  Theoretically, that should solve the issue.  I no longer *have* the previous version so I can't do it.  Looks like I won't have a choice but to start over from scratch since getting a response on here is nigh on impossible.

Is there a way to install a previous version? Apparently, I saved at exactly the wrong spot at the end and now, with the new version, the save won't load (black screen with rotating anchor).  I probably accidentally saved on the spot that said this was the current end of the story and, with the new version, that spot doesn't exist any longer.  I habitually delete previous versions of games on itch when a new version is installed to prevent issues and inconveniences but this time, it created one instead.

It's a very good start.  I'll be looking forward to the policeman scenes. :D

I enjoyed this a fair bit. :)  I usually play the MC as a total slut in most VN and similar games; having that option is a definite plus. Glad to see it wasn't abandoned as I'm now looking forward to more. :D

Well now!  I really like the new elves.  I just wish that the elf you seduce on the production floor was the same as the one that visits that night (for no other reason than my own head-canon).  Also, is it my imagination or is Nick not the same from the first time you meet him to the Victory screen?  At first, I thought Nick and Kristan were the same person at the end.

Actually, I don't find anything wrong with your writing.  It looks more like you're skipping over things to get to the heart of the story you want to tell.  I can understand that.  Maybe what might help is imagine you're the one in a given situation and how you would react to it... and what it might take for you to come to terms with it.  That can be as much of an adventure than the heart of the story you're trying to get to.  Who knows what might happen. ;)  (But for the love of all that is holy, no dancing teapots! lol)

I'm guessing this is what you meant by saving werewolves for future projects? ;)  I only have one gripe (not even a complaint, really) - you have a strange habit of putting the MC into situations that he just... accepts.  Not sure about you but if I were dragged into a dungeon and thrown in a cell, the first thing I'd do is look for a way to escape.  Even after, thrown into a room, I'd at least make the attempt to escape.  We're talking about a man literally dying to get to his family but now just... accepts being a prisoner with no attempt at escape (at least until dinner) - you have to admit, this is rather odd behaviour.  In any case, curious to see how this plays out although I suspect I already know the answer. lol

Not sure if the sizes changed or something but I found this one to be a little trickier.  Could be just not being used to the new progression candies.  In any case, I can think of worse things than being intriguing to Krampus (and I didn't laugh at all - it's familiar territory for me).  If he wants to haunt me, I think I can live with that. ;)

Rather envious of the MC.  Not because of where he is or the people and events but simply because of the werewolves.  That is a scene I could definitely get under... or into... heh.
