The missing movie comes from gossiping with Oliver and Bucky and then catching them on a date! (They have to get on the same page about Ollie breaking the bridge)

The missing story comes from beating the Dustin minigame Novice mode with zero hits!

This is a shader issue, and I'm not sure how to fix it. You could try updating your graphics drivers or playing the game on a different device. In a Windows 10, 64 bit desktop build it's most likely going to be an incompatibility with your video card or graphics driver version. (Win10 64 bit is generally our most stable & compatible build!)

You may also have some luck running the WebGL build in a web browser or downloading it to play locally. Unfortunately WebGL is a little sluggish and doesn't have save support.

Good luck! Sorry you're having issues! :O

That's definitely a bug, thanks for the detailed report! <3

Not yet, we're planning to support that in future versions! We backdated some Act 1 content so it's probably worth replaying for the full experience.

We have approximately half of Act 3 written and many of the art assets already done! The game needs serious optimization and some code updates which will definitely take some time. Ideally it'll take less than a year to get to the Act 3 public release since Act 3 is more of a content push than the prior two acts.

Act 2 took extra long because we had more "requirements discovery" as we fleshed out Act 1 designs and gameplay mechanics. We added all kinds of new stuff like critter dates, illustrated stories and critter gifts to give players a richer experience in the Forest. There are several new minigames to design, but we mostly have the tools in place now to tell the story we want to tell. :}

Yessss they're the best! :}}

Beat the Dustin minigame Novice mode with zero hits!

That's a fun idea! Sometimes less is more, & it's good to have just one story unlock for it in the gallery. We'll likely add more minigame rewards as we continue development!

Sounds frustrating indeed. I'll keep working to optimize it! We have a parallel Unity project for code rewrites that I'll be migrating to, now that Act 2 is published. Fingers crossed Act 3 will be less buggy! :}}

(Also I gotcha fam, I added a cheat code to skip the plant quest minigame that'll be included in the upcoming bugfix patch!)

Glad you enjoyed it! :}} That sounds like some kind of bug. Once you beat the practice round (I think it's 4 hits or less?) Dustin should ask you whether you want to do Novice or Practice every time. I'll see if I can find the problem!

It's a bug! You can use chapter select (you'll have to replay gossips and dates, unfortunately) or try flying Penny back to the Plains perch from Central Forest or Lake. Looking for a fix so I can patch the game!

I think the one we have now is a 64 bit universal binary? But I can look into whether we can do 32 bit.  (No matter what, you're going to need .Net 4 to run the game on Windows! So it probably won't work on really old Windows versions)

What problem are you encountering with 64 bit?

Both of these are bugs. I have fixes on my end, we will upload a patch soon! Thanks ^^

That's a bug! Good catch!

You can save progress on the desktop builds! We are still working on a global save that persists progress between game versions.

I'm still trying to find the cause of the swim transition bugging out. I think it's related to a computer with low memory or a slower CPU. The game needs to be optimized and something in the swim transition seems to be framerate-dependent. :/

The way you've described the broken race, it sounds like the game is really confused and has maybe corrupted your savegame. Try using Chapter Select (the [C] key, or available in the pause menu) to rewind to the latest unlocked chapter. You'll lose a bit of progress and all your gossips will need to be replayed, but it should reset the game to an uncorrupted state.

I'll keep looking for fixes! Thanks for letting us know about the bugs! <3

sudo! not sumo! "sudo" is short for "super user do" and elevates the permissions of the next command.

I think slow PC performance may be the reason for button mashing issues during the plant minigame, and the glitchy swim transition.

What are your system specs? (RAM amount, video card, processor?) Are you playing the game with a lot of other apps running in the background?

We're looking into doing more performance optimizations ASAP!

We are working to add save to WebGL (the browser version)

The desktop versions have save support!

The squirrel is waiting for you to do two dashrolls to finish the race. If you're playing with a keyboard, it should be the [shift] key!

That sounds like a bug! I'll try to recreate it on my end.

In the meantime I recommend you try the desktop version!

Are you playing in-browser? The desktop builds will be fastest!

Maybe eventually! Lots of bigger fish first! :}}

(A mobile version is a ton of work and will need a ton of testing! We're prioritizing other content first and slowly working towards Steam & mobile versions)

Thanks! <3
