Hey Koga

When downloading the latest MOD from Workupload and following the instructions to place the "script" folder in the \game folder, I get
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
:

To install the Mod "APetalAmongThorns" you have to:
===================================================

1. of course the original game must be installed

2. extract the archive in a temporary folder

3. move the extracted folder "scripts" into your game folder
(...\APetalAmongThorns-6.0.1-pc\game), overwriting existing file if asked


Any idea what am I doing wrong? Thanks
Seems I've missed to put the "rpyc" files in my download. I'll check that.
But the easy solution so far should be to start the game again. That also creates these files I've probably missed.

A remaster for fucks sake no one asked for this is was time wasted that could have been put into the third game.
It did need to be done; he's combining into the other games.

The third game is not connected to the series, Over the Moon will be, and starting later on, then it will have the entire series and have a good flow.

Again, this is just something I'm doing in the background and it's almost entirely hands off so it won't take away any time from The Judas Ghost or Over the Moon.

I don't actually have to do anything. I'm just letting my second computer generate the images. However, when the images are all done, I'll have to do some editing and combine them into a working build.

This is not for a re-release of A Petal Among Thorns though. This is for a beginning to end Rose Garden game that will be complete with the final episode of Over the Moon. I'm going to put A Petal Among Thorns, A Moment of Bliss, and Over the Moon together into one game called The Rose Garden, and I'm going to release it as one big game. This will definitely take some time to create, but I won't work on it until after Over the Moon is done.
And as it was, the game couldn't be sold on Itch.io or Steam as it was booted, now with this and it being in a new game, with everything, there is a chance they can sell it.

The reason I'm doing this is because the rogue morph makes Petal look too young, and has gotten me into a lot of hot water. This will also make the entire combined collection more fluid.

First there is a problem with text, the name you enter to rose and petal relationship, a space miss. It get tie with the next word. example if you call it Mom, in the sentence it become "i see Momand you had...".

Some of the choice had also disapear... it s sad there is not enought to begin and now there are less in the game.

And to end, i don t think it s a good idea to merge the 2 game, a visual novel and a kinetic novel together... I really don t like kinetic novel and i think it s for this reason A moment of bliss have a lot less like than petal among thorns. A lot of people dont like them because Kinetic novel are not game, they are ebook with picture, but are not game you can interact (play) with it. i don t know for Over the moon, but i think after a moment of bliss the game number 3 will be a kinetic too. Then for me there is nothing after a petal among thorns... i ve stop to read a moment of bliss nearly when the dev put the kinetic tag on it. Merge it with kinetic will only downgrade this game.

While I was translating into Italian I found many strings with missing spaces.

Yea, something was majorly fucked up with the strings in the remaster... If it were at least consistent, we could for example use "Mom " with a space at the end to fix it, but since it is not consistent that will result in a lot of double spaces as well, not to mention a lot of "your Mom 's".

Kinda weird that bug was added in the remaster, can't think of a reason why he would have touched the strings at all for what was changed.

Really needs a fix.

Too much blueballin, the game was finished without expanding, went straight to fucking even.
Literally the first thing you are told when starting, is that this is not a porn game. Takes a lot of stupidity on your part to then still expect a porn game, and even more to then come here and complain lol.

Also, it is the first of a trilogy, it is more like a Prologue dealing with character development and world building. Lots more action in the 2nd game which is already finished.

Made a compressed Android port of A Petal Among Thorns Remastered v6.0.1 with KoGa3's multi-mod.

Got some basic gestures loaded in: swipe up for save menu, swipe down to hide UI, swipe left to rollback and swipe right to skip. Save files are now stored in the Documents folder. This sometimes means that you may need to close and re-open the port after installing so the save folder is properly created.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the ports and I'll see what I can do to get them sorted.

To me Petal is one of the most adorable AVN characters out there. Not that I don't like Bliss, she's hot but Petal has the cuteness factor down cold. I really look forward to Moon.
Petal was a nice simple story that progressed linearly. It was a great story to relax and enjoy. My problem with Bliss was it went from POV to having an MC drawn, almost like a third-person game. Also, it was all over the place with too many side stories. The wife/mother story was buried in a weird relationship with the illustrator the robot and the couturier. Like many games where entire updates are about side stories, it became tiring to the point I lost interest.

I'm halfway through reviewing Chapter 4. After carefully reading through APAT, I did notice a lot of issues with the script. I can see now that Chester's reservations does drag on for too long, and it does get a little annoying. I'm not going to do any major re-writes though, so that's just going to be how it is.

However, I have been removing a ton of 'And's. I start sentences with 'And' all the time. I did not realize I was doing that. I'm cleaning that up, and adding little things here and there. I had to revise one of Chuck's speeches. Other than that, it all looks really good.

Not sure why you replied with that quote, nothing in it has anything to do with why the custom input strings would be bugged in the remaster. He only talks about changing the script, as in the literal text, and remove some "and's" from it.

I mean, its not a gamebreaker. Just thought I would point it out so it might eventually get fixed.

Also, just as an fyi, replying with only a quote with nothing else written in the reply bugs out the reply function of this forum, had to tag you like this :D

What do you mean bugs out the forum?

Looks and acts just fine.

He did more than what was listed. Probably won't be anything done until the start of Rose Garden, which will come after Over the Moon.

The first issue is easily fixed using a text editor with Regular Expression matching support, use rpaExtract to extract the Scripts.rpa file, then edit the .rpy files in Chapters 1-3:

Replace:
(\[persistent\.rose_rel\])([A-Za-z])
With:
\1 \2

and Replace:
(\[persistent\.chester_rel\])([A-Za-z])
With:
\1 \2
