Oh! I think I had to upload a new version of it because of an error. So I probably didn't replace the link (I thought I did but....I guess not!) Should be fixed in a moment.
I found it. Can you please check the link to Theakinetics from the glossary page. That one shouldn't be broken, though I can see the one from "bishop" definitely is.
I'm not sure why you can't at least to get to it from the glossary page itself. The only instance of wiki_theakinetics (the wrong name) that I could find was in the link on the bishop page!
I'll have to push out a patch at some point.
I found another one . Guess I'm just doing weird pathing through the glossary. The link to Cestrescir through The Court page is giving me an error, though it works if I go through the main Glossary page.

Hi there! I'm having a strange visual bug...
It started as simple as looking like this when you save over a previous save:
But that was the extent of it for my first run (Ari).
I've started up a second run to move on to Caissa and skipped through some of the common bits I had already seen, and now my main screen looks like this:
Sometimes the dialogue is also funky and unreadable. Loading a save will clear it briefly, but then suddenly the MC will lose her eyes, or something as drastic as Jack happens as above.
I thought perhaps it could be something to do with my PC, but I haven't ever seen anything like this before, and it was almost perfect on my first run (bar the saving screen) and only started during and after skipping.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Sorry for all the replies, but I wanted to pop a fix here in case anyone else runs into a similar problem.
(only a Windows fix unfortunately) once the game is running, hit SHIFT+G and there should be options for RENDERERS. Mine was by default set to "Automatically Choose". I have now set it to one of the options and its fixed.
Yikes! That is.......so bizarre!
But thank you for posting the solution. "Automatically choose" is the default selection for Ren'py and it causes issues for me as well - though nothing like what you saw. @_@ I just get weird flickers and flashes of dark areas.
This happens in every Ren'py game for me - not just Gilded Shadows. I always have to set the renderer to a specific one when I download a new Ren'py game.
O_O
Thanks for letting me know. I'm not really sure why the game seems to be issues caching the persistent data. Unfortunately that's baked into the renpy game engine itself (especially since it also affects seen dialogue - that is definitely part of the engine functionality) and isn't my code specifically, so I'm not sure it's something I would be able to fix even if I could recreate it.
With my last game I've had scattered reports of things like this happening - as well as some other funky issues that seem to be renpy specific. Those are always frustrating since there's not much I can really do about them.
I'll keep an eye out for it just in case, though! I'm glad to hear you found a fix for the problem!
If you have a few instances of missing words, you can post them here. We are not looking for feedback on small grammatical issues like missing commas or words that aren't capitalised. This is a 700,000 word game (it will be close to 1,000,000 words when complete) so we are focusing on fixing issues that significantly impact readability like a sentence being missing an entire word - otherwise we will be endlessly fixing minor typos.
I genuinely do not have the time for that. So if you have a couple of issues where there is a *missing word*, you may post them here. If it is an issue of a minor typo or a some minor grammatical error, please do not clog this thread with those. I consider them extremely low priority in the face of having three more routes to write, code, and create art for.
Thank you for understanding!
~Esh
Understood. I'm happy to help, if that makes it any easier. I cannot do what you do, but I'm able to fix words or typos if it makes any difference for you. I'll start keeping track. Of than commas, it's really just an entire missing word. If that's any consolation. So, it's really well-done, considering the sheer volume, too.
Hi, had a weird bug that messed with my entire screen? I'm not sure what caused it. I had just finished making the first choice in the common route and my screen glitched. I couldn't click anything but I could still hear the game music playing. I ended up restarting my laptop. Here is a picture of my screen.
I'm using a macbook, macOS sierra.
Anyone have any advice?
Hello!
This is not a bug I've ever seen before and not one any of my beta testers experienced. I believe it's most likely a compatibility issue between the Ren'py game engine itself (not my game specifically) and your machine. One person in this thread did experience something similar (you can see it a few posts up) and while I have never had a glitch on this magnitude, I do sometimes get small visual errors in Ren'py games.
You can try to resolve it by opening the game and hitting shift+G.
This opens the graphics menu where you can directly select a graphics renderer in the upper left corner. You can try to open this menu and selecting one of the two renderers instead of letting it "automatically choose" and see if that prevents this from happening again. (You may need to test it to figure out which one works best.
I hope that resolves the issue!
Thank you for the reply! I'm trying the G+Shift solution but it changes back to the auto option every time I start the game.
I am also having trouble saving. When I tried to Q.Save it gave me an error message. I also got an error message while trying regular save too. Below I have posted a copy of the error message I received while trying to Q.Save.

Hmm. I don't have a mac machine so I can't bug test these things specifically without trying to hunt down a friend with a mac. I'll try to poll my discord server to see if anyone has any thoughts (I know there are some mac users).
1. Selecting a renderer should carry over across play throughs. I'm not sure why it is re-setting (it does not reset for me, but as I mentioned, I'm on a Windows machine.) D=
2. Can you save manually? Again, quick save works for me fine but I'm not on the same OS. If you can at least save manually then for now, that should help until I can look into what might be causing the Q.Save issue on mac.

After looking into it more, I discovered that this error has been reported in other games as well and it's usually associated with launching the game from the Itch.io app. Users reported that downloading and launching the game directly from the desktop fixes the problem for them so this might also be something you can try.
Another thread on Itch suggested that if you have "sandboxing" on, this can cause saves to not function correctly in Renpy games, and that turning "sandboxing" off, fixes the problem
~Esh
Hello!
I have never been able to re-create any errors with quick save and have not be able to find much information on this specific error. It's possible that this is an issue within the Ren'py engine's core code (which I did not build and cannot fix) and the way it is storing save data on your machine.
Does this problem persist if you create a manual save? And does the problem persist if you close out of the game and restart? I'm not sure what could specifically be going on here.
"Quick save" and how it works is basically a native Ren'py function that I didn't change in any way with my game code. It can make errors like this really difficult to track down, much less fix.
If you are able to manually save, then I would stick with that for now and I will continue to keep my eye out for this error but so far, I haven't been able to recreate it so I can't say what is causing it. ;A;
I see. I have also met similar problems with other games so it might be a me problem (though this is the first time the problem is so persistent, it usually goes away). Manual saves do work and I have restarted my PC many times but it stays like this. May I ask if there is a shortcut key for quick save? I use quick save a lot and using a shortcut key might work. And may I ask if there is any way to restart the whole game? Like remove all previous data and just start anew? Thank you for responding.
As far as I'm aware, Ren'py does not have a default key map set for quick save (I couldn't find it in the default key map list) and I didn't set one. So I'm afraid I don't think there is a key bind for the quick save function.
As far as resetting the game - there is no simple way to do this. I've never done it. I have heard about people doing it. You can google things like "How to reset a renpy game on steam" and find various threads giving instructions.
Typically it goes like this:
For Steam, Ren'py progress will be saved in two possible places. One is the Ren'py folder in appdata. If you navigate there and find a Gilded Shadows folder, look to see if there are any save files or "persistent" files you can delete.
But you'll also have to check in steam's files. If you right click the game in your launcher, you should see the option to manage the local files. In the game folder, there should be a "saves" folder that has all the save files in it, and a "persistent" file.
These will need to be deleted as well.
Again, I've never used this method to try to reset a game, it's just the information I've personally found. There is no simple "reset" button unfortunately.
I hope this helps and sorry you're having an issue with the quick save. D=
Thank you very much for replying. I'll try that when I get the chance and hopefully it works. Also great job on the game! It's my first playthrough and I'm already in love <3
Thank you for taking the time to post!
I don't have any intention to patch the entire game for minor typos at this point.
We try to get all the typos possible, but it's a game with 1, 0 36, 000 words. Even if our accuracy rate is 99.9%, there are going to be over 1000 typos in this game.
At this point, out side of major issues, I don't intend to update the game further. <3
