itch.io

No, unfortunately. There are ways to donate on itch in general, but none of them would work for me

They will be included with the full release

This is so strange lmao, I have no idea why this is happening. Tried checking it out myself with different browsers/antivirus scans, but I don't get anything. It's just an HTML page, you can get it yourself by right-clicking while the game is loaded and choosing 'save page' lol

... what?
Can a html file even carry a trojan? It's literally just a saved webpage (then again, I'm not that knowledgeable about these things)

Soon. Hopefully...

it's ahead by 2 updates. Right now that includes:
1) Mei Mei's big event (15k)

2) Auction (20k)

There is another interaction right after coma. Its fairly short though

Mainly, because it didn't do anything. There was a maybe 1-2 interactions where it did play a role and I aimed to simplify the game with the rework. I may return it in the future though, once the story is complete and I'll have time to add details like that

no porn

Thanks! I'll check it out.
1) Yes, 'Xiao' is a term used for a younger sibling/kid. She's calling Fu Bing = Xiao Bing (replacing the surname with the endearment). There are also a few others that you'll see in the game: repeating the name twice (Da = Da Da) and adding 'er to the name.

2) It's a typo, will fix

Oh yeah, I'm aware of this. No idea why it happens (probably something to do with the javascript changes I made to the save system), but you can use any other browser and it'd be fine. I tested with edge/its native translator and firefox, there was no problem

Try refreshing/seeing if the error still persists (you may have caught me uploading bug-fixes). If yes, can you tell me how this happened (which choices you picked) and whether you loaded a save sometime before the crash popped up?

upload the .txt and send the link =)

Nope. I'll fix it in a minute, 1000 is the absolute limit, which is supposed to be very, very end-game and will cost much more to reach

Ah, what do you mean? 

Can you send me your save file? Either upload the file somewhere and link it or just copy text and paste it here

Maybe an old save issue. Does it persist with new ones?

talent_chr is basically an empty variable placed in order to pass quicktest (a tool to proofread bugs), which ignores conditional statements and will show an error otherwise. Actual code for increasing attributes/spending exp looks like this

its coded as 'beautiful'

but you'll need to sub on boosty to get the password

Try uploading a safe save now, it should, probably, maybe, work.

Though keep in mind you’ll have to set variables limit_X (str, agi, con etc) to 500 or you’ll get an error when opening stat page/raising attributes (this will only happen with these saves, not in the future lol).

Saves broke =(
This happens due to me bugfixing things constantly. I am trying to make them more permanent, but so far no luck. The only advice I have for now is have more save filed ;(

Will be fixed with the next update (pretty soon). For now, you can get around it by not failing the stat check :D

Yeah

fixed

He's in the sect. In fact, you may (depending on the route) interact with him in the next premium/in two public updates.

He's fighting a stage above, as a Late-Houtian

just fade to black

Did you save during stat page / after you opened stat page and haven't clicked 'next page' or made a choice?

Sadly due to how stat page works in CS, saves tend to break if you do so. I'm working on trying to prevent you from saving during these moments, but it'll take me some time

Fixed the error, was changing some stuff and accidentally broke it lol.

About the saves... it may break if you save at the state page or if  you enter stat page, leave it and save then without advancing to a new page/making a choice. I'm working on locking the save function during these times, but for now there is nothing I can do =(

Made it available for download =)

I actually cooked up a feature to export saves now! Very experimental, but it seems to work for now

You can use think link, saves work fine here ;)
I'll see what I can do about the itch io version though

Thanks ;)

No can do, sadly ;(
Choicescript doesn't include a save feature. You can try the dashingdon version, it should have persistent saves

I will, probs tomorrow though. Itch io updates are delayed by 2-3 days, so that I can fix all the bugs first

Should be fixed, I think.

Posted the link to dashingdon in the description. It's constant and will work for all updates =)

Oh damn, my bad, I forgot to publish the devlog haha. +20k words and 3 new events =)

Fixed it, thanks!
