A nice cleanup of some of the odder UI elements would be great. Here are several instances of subwindows popping in front of the main game that can cause weird things to happen in the UI. It would be better if everything happened inside the same main window. For example see attached.
Those popup windows are quite deliberate, I have not seen any weird issues with them? I commonly use these for cases
- where I want to restrict player actions, say casting spells, or moving etc for the scene
- where I want to point out something important. For instance the screenshot you gave was where I was pointing out to new players the Notes option in your phone

Changing these to events as say used for a sex scene would be quite a lot of effort, and I am not convinced the point of doing any such change

Is there a mom gabby vacation scene or is that just unavailability
If Mom and Gabby run off, so you take too long to stop Gabby. Then if you use Hydromancy you see a scene, and that is it, you never see them again

Might have found a bug, while playing the murder playthrough I can't access the crypt to charm the vampire and get the skull?

Place numbers can be checked in
Development/places.html
but preferably do not do this, you can break the game if you are not careful. Use teleport or walk
Areas become available once you are told about them or visit. For instance for the graveyard talk to Bambi and/or Janet

Are you playing on the murder page, did you (or Davy) kill Sir Ronald. ONLY in ths case can other people be killed, and there is no advantage to doing so, you just losee slaves

Just reposting from the Hypnopics Collective to get opinions here

I know this is probably like a LITTLE late, and I might have the unpopular opinion, but I honestly prefer the original button layout. It feels neater and more put together than some buttons being shifted and some not. It also made navigating with a mouse just a smidgen more convenient since the buttons are usually in the exact same place. However, if it benefits people on mobile and allows them to play with fewer issues then I see no reason why I couldn't get used to it. (I say as if my singular opinion is mega important or something.)

ALSO, low-key glad you posted this here as well as the collective. I personally don't use hypnopics even though I adore this game. So being able to see possible changes and give an opinion is pretty lit.

You can only dig in the Wild Ranges when you know there is something there to dig for. Search the books in the history classroom

To attune/remove a hexagram just cast the teleport spell there is an option to do so if one if present.
Do you know the upgraded version of the Teleport spell, this gives more options

Yes people complete the story chains, the game does give hints and if in doubt talk to people.

Thanks, I am still working on changes, so not too late. So far the few replies have been ambivalent for the change. I have made it so the layout change can be toggled via a phone app, defaulting on always, but you can change if you do not like

1639590851697.png

camryn. i think i saw her in her appt charmed...not sure about possession or rescuing. no idea what is it about
vampyr ending. how to retweak it to prevent it? .sara ask for the book but what book ? i stayed night - then bad ending on 2nd night i stayed.
leanne- ran into impossible or vague actions
You need the Dragon Gem+(i cheated, caz in ch5 i was hunting for some stone from vase which i believe was dragon one... and it was no longer my possession...so it is unfair bs or bug...or was it another stone? no idea as usual)
charm Abby+.
Do her event for the Gem (?) and have it moved to the Hidden Room (cannot do it, says keep it)
Learn the training "Precise Transitions" (how?) and attune the hexagram in the Hidden Room


mom-gabby thing . i followed wt until it started describing totally different game as it does ... i was in conference 2nd time (with sarah? ) and took some jewelry from her. tips says i charmed gabby but gabby&mom run away together
...
any cheat to have a taxi at any location 24/7? that navigation is killing me
how to increase items slots in inv? (found somee bag in gym but is it closer to end game?)
w/ts are def a mess... need smth like [ingame tipname i can see] -> go to w/t [step by step guide . like part corresponding to 'save leana' ]
...
skull etc k read book in school library, showel worked . (there was no test though .)
(also not sure about explosions after ritual, i just left)
'Talk to Diane, then cast Pass. As soon as you have the documents, talk to Diane one last time and watch the scene to the end'. -pass doesnot work there...so i went to diana , told her to help...yet guide is too vague. / oh i went to polic station talked took diane again with me, went to storage toom, cast it, and open door for her. figurd by chance literally.
" Visit Victoria at the Shopping Center then Monique at the Library " no monique.... oh found her in hidden room was it also called that way... or is w/t no good
"use the Silver Ring to free the Ross sisters and exit the room."--- hm cannot do that. (did i do that earlier? no idea; will skip for now)

Will the mod every be updated? I feel like GIF/webms really add a lot to the game

I agree the vampire thing is confusing and requires much trial and error to land on the correct sequence if possible (far to easy to bad end and have to save scum).

The dragon gem is also confusing.

Mother superior is the most easily hardlocked thing in the game, though.

Disagree with these. The vampire thing is fairly obvious if you are reading the story. The post above says "what book?". I argue the answer "the book the entire plot of the game is built around" is not too far of a leap for people to make.

Reposted from Hypnopics Collective

Status
still working on fixes and some scenes for Ash and Lilith, was going to be some simple scenes but I had an idea and it has complicated it a bit
Also doing quite a few edits, largely for Lilith but some others as well. Attached an edit I did, fairly quick one, cropped down from a larger promotional image for Brazzers. Unsure what to do with it though.

Also ran large parts of the game though image optimisers to reduce some size, but probably the game will be little smaller, add images and shrink others, so more the Red Queen's Race here. I did convert quite a few gif images to mp4 with significant size reductions, one one gif remains in the game and I may convert it too

Real life has been bad lately so excuse some slow work here.

PS
Android versions can now use swipe gestures to open/close sidebars

Can you give me an example, preferably a screeshot as well
Any of the animated ones with Kate are good examples but anything that is either square or wider than it is tall. The Titus screenshot attached where i've selected titussms3.jpg is what happens generally. If the image doesn't natively fit the screen shape you only get like half the picture, I figured this is due to not wanting to screw up the aspect ratio but i feel like the images used to resize (i could just be misremembering).

I also have an issue where mp4s just pop a new tab rather than add to phone when i click the wall paper button. Was not sure if thats by design but thought i'd mention it. Thats the charley10b screenshot attached.
