Hey everyone,
I've mostly set all my threads on ignore to just avoid conversation here for the most part. Though, I do skim it on new releases to see if there are any outstanding bugs that could happen.
A couple seem to be experiencing a bug that doesn't give the option to start the new content. I'm unsure if it's user error and they are missing a required scene or not, but simply making another save and reloading the game could fix it (As updating the questlog via the after_load label is how I do it to fix previous saves). Either way, my main goal is for new games to go without any progress halting issue the most and I also provide a save with all previous content done in case any outstanding issues occur. Many players use different saves from different versions and I can easily see something like a V0.05 save causing even the smallest issue with something from V0.08. Just how it goes. I try my best to make them all compatible, and mostly succeed, but not always, heh.
I also see some discussion on a plot issue that comes with mostly anything to do with time-travel. Time-traveling as a plot device is almost, if not ever gonna go with some kind of issue. How do the present time characters not remember the face of two characters they interacted with 20 years ago? Same issue like at the end of Back to the Future. How do they not realize he looks the exact same as the person who set them up at prom? Well, for AD there are different ways to go about it. I can simply ignore this plot hole and keep the idea of it being such a long time ago and memories fade, or I can simply use a cop-out. The artifact's influence clouds their minds. No photos taken of them. Can't remember their faces. It's not the most interesting bandage to an obvious plot hole, but it works. I also do have a BIG spoilery explanation that can make some decent sense as to why they wouldn't question it much, but I REALLY can't get into that for VERY obvious reasons. Either way, it's just something to think about. It won't ever be perfect, but that's just how things go with a story about time-travel. I do the best I can to try and keep things as simple as possible, and try not to let plot holes get out of hand.
Anyways, glad you enjoyed the update. Excited to get more out, and already starting on V0.09 content. Now, time to get back into my little hole
