Could someone provide me a save file at the start of Act IV? I seem to have broke the game. I'm at day 79 and there's a scene with Molly at a studio and one with Katie and Bella that I've seen in the last version that just doesn't trigger now.

I think it's rather the case of diminishing returns; the better I do some parts of the animation (and the less I cheat, like I did shamelessly with the Act IV videos), the easier it is to spot the parts that I do badly. I mean, I'm *proud* of the work I did on the Chosen Call video; but it's also a stark reminder that I'm a programmer, not an animator. I hadn't even opened up AfterEffects until midway through Act I, and had never tried to animate something in DAZ until Katie's animation, so there's a learning curve involved.




No, not really. I mean, there's usually an interest bump each time you launch, which is great motivation, and I know from Making Movies that the amazing discord community I rely on to keep me motivated will drift away if I stop actively nurturing it, but I certainly could use a less intensive launch cadence without anyone coming around to beat me. Having said that, I've built some tools that lets me be pretty efficient at building the game, and I'm having fun, so keeping a ~4-6 week release cadence makes sense for me. This one took ~2 months (last release was end May), and at some point I looked at what I had planned for Act V (which was originally supposed to be 40 days, rather than 20 days like Act I-IV) and realized I was going to need to split it in two, otherwise I'd still be working on this release come Xmas.
I also keep forgetting that you are a programmer rather than an animator, which brings up the amazing job that you naturally do with animation even better.
The tools you have built to make your day easier work well for the most part, so having them handy is a great idea I imagine.
With the Discord community, I have been privy to a lot of those conversations as well, like in here you always keep everyone updated on everything you do, which makes it feel like you genuinely care about your fans, which is another reason I can rate this game as highly as I do.
I personally see the effort you do put in, as I am sure everyone else can easily as well.
With that said, I sincerely doubt you would get much backlash if you told everyone that things will take a little longer since you clearly update us all with the progress already and are very well-loved in the community.

Whew!

Haven't played since Act III and now I just binged the next two Acts.
I love Excaliber. The snark. The evil laughs.

Watching Katie get wound up is still hilarious, made even funnier with that fast paced theme music.


On another note, was regen always there? I didn't get it in Act III but I can't be bothered to go back and get it earlier at this point.
Also, still not sure what rage does.

Rage adds damage to every damaging attack roll. It's stupendous when combined with cluster attacks.

Regen is unlocked when resting at a campfire with Dylan and Emily in your party if you speak with Dylan.
See "Elsewhere events" in the .


Quoting rage from the
"Adds an additional +X points of damage to any subsequent attacks/hands(including combinations that would normally inflict no damage, such as Shield and more Rage). Rage is reduced by 10% each round, including the turn on which it is cast."

I have problems with background animation. I can only see a white background in every scene (even the town map). Am I the only one to have that?

That's weird. What OS are you on, and if it's a desktop, can you send me zip of the savegame folder?

Yeah, this game just keeps getting better every update. It's one of, if not the best, game featured on this site. Droid is top tier in lore/world-building and their writing is on point. Oh, and Katie is best girl.

Definitely my favourite adult game. I ran into a couple of issues though, like when I found a Black Rose in Elsewhere and went to Starcucks, i could tell her to lock the door, but then nothing happened when I clicked myself or the girl. Or at the castle, there was some Animation with a Grenade Launcher that didn't come when I played it, but when I reloaded to that state it suddenly showed and kinda messed up everything. Music starting a few times in a row, so you have it overlapping 4 times, very weird things happening. Had to restart and load a save after that scene, as it kept happening.​
I usually don't like replaying games, but I will definitely give it another go when it's finished. Absolutely love it.​

That's curious; could you get me the savegame folder, I'll see what's going on.
