itch.io

Cool, I am curious to see what they will bring!

Pretty much a choose the girls you want harem

Zetan, to manage user expectations: you could have mentioned that we need to restart the game from scratch. Now it's a bit of a surprise. Rebought it anyways.

Yes, fixed, I could see and download it now. Thanks!

I must be doing something wrong, but in the post itself I've never (anywhere on itch.io) been able to download files. I always go via the top download button.

Hmm, I can't actually download the latest update ? Still get the 14.5 version via the download button on the main page.

I was more thinking about when you're still deciding things, like an author friend of mine used to ask me things because she wanted a male perspective. She was heavily surprised by some of my answers, but it did help her to think in the right direction and decide what she wanted to do and how it would be perceived. No worries if that is not your way of working.

Is there nobody you can bounce these conversations of to get some feedback?  A female/male perspective could perhaps help as well (if you can find someone IRL that you can have those conversations with).

It's been a while, I think the author just forgot about itch. Pity. 

Eh, it's another life once you have kids. I just hope (for you and yours) that (s)he sleeps well at night - we had a few months (actually a few years, but apparently that's exceptional) of not enough sleep at night. Really messes with you, and takes a while to recover. But as I said, I asked other parents and most of those were lucky devils. 

I just finished this game - thank you for telling such a compelling story, looking forward to new adventures (and some closure for the prince and his search for his mother). 

I don't normally play sandboxes, so the fact that you are switching to a VN makes me happy. There were a lot of times the story seemed to be out of sync with the way it was now.

Congrats on the little one coming, that's a whole new adventure!!

Love your attention to detail and the closure. Thanks!

It's been a blast - I enjoyed the game, will enjoy the coming release, but I ALSO very much enjoyed both your work ethics. You delivered what you promised and very much on time. Thank you and kudos for that as well. And the story was good fun !

Question: are you planning on updating your content here on itch from 0.7 to 1.x in the near future ? As I paid for it here and not on Patreon...

When a vacation is needed, a vacation is needed. There is no other way to clear your head.... just plan it.

The MAC version is here !!

Hey whatever makes you feel better !!

Playing 0.10 on my mac now - I've got regular freezes, usually after an event plays, and it needs to go back to the city map...

Hello, I am curious about decker. It's like a copy of Hypercard, but is it meant to stay that way ? I mean, dithered and black and white ? Or is that just a design choice on itch?  I would love to play around with this, but the old-fashioned b/w seems to give the intention that this just for fun, and that it is not something that can be used for displaying to somebody who does not know what decker is ? Not certain if I'm conveying the right question/explanation here, my apologies.  

Soooooo.... episode 8 has just come out on Patreon it seems, but nothing here - version 3 only for download.
@caramelcowboy : Forgotten ? Or did you drop the support for itch.io ? Pretty bummer as you state that we will get a least 15 episodes.... 

You might need to take a break mate. A long or a short one, but one where you do ANYTHING else than this. Like a vacation or something active filled. 

That will give your brain a chance to reset.

aaah yes, thank you!

Hmmmm. There is no real title of the game in this post. What game are we talking about ?

I had an error using this version on my mac - something about a file not found.

For this version to work on a Mac, I've had to 

• install the python library UNRPA and then 
• unrpa the scripts.rpa inside the app contents, 
• replace that scripts.rpa with the contents I extracted in the root of the game directory, and then 
• rename the manualtracks.rpy and music_screen.rpy to .old.

That made it work, without music (if any). I've had to do this in another game as well, so I'm wondering if it's todo with a new plugin or renpy version ?

To each his own. I prefer to use an outliner to get the big idea in, and then add more detail in a deeper level when I get to it / get inspired. I guess it is pretty similar to what you did now.

Mac link does not seem to work unfortunately...

Yup, read it all mate ! Have fun and listen to your tax advisor !

Is that an actual new Patreon rule ? Djeeeeez

I can use IGNORE to continue, but just in case this is interesting for you:

I have just played the first 15 minutes and I have NO idea what is going on... who are these people ?  What is their relationship with each other ? Is 'Mam' really his mum ? What year is it ? What are those drones ? What are all these acronyms  and what do they mean ?
It feels like I'm missing a whole lot of the background story here... to the point I can't make head nor tails from it.

Don't get me wrong, it's a really intruiging story, good screens, good music, competently kinetic story. But hey. Still no clue what is going on.

Episode 2 now: I am even more confused.  For the love of whomever you like, please include some more explanations on what is going on !

The release for mac is a 'market' release - those things don't work directly on mac. You can fix it manually by moving certain files inside the app but most people won't know how.

I have exactly the same problem but from 0.22.6. Also running on Mac, so that might be it. Or not.

Why not add the steam link directly. More people will click through...

Huh - I just bought the bundle, and I can download it just fine. Perhaps try again ?

That is so cool, that your software is now  valued as an education aid ! Well done !

This seems to be Friday update number 10!

Thanks for updating your itch page here. I just bought the game here, added some extra to show you how much I appreciate your game. Not really a biiiiig subscription guy so itch is fine for me. 

Post an update from time to time eh ?

Ah ok thanks for the explication, I was a bit confused about the 1.0 version at first.

So this is a reworked Act 1. But no new content, correct  ?
