I think I found a glitch.
I am doing the last possible thing I can in version 0.12d, I sided with John, his wife gets pissed and storms off and it freezes, I cannot do anything further.
Almost like I chose the wrong path or the game wasn't expecting that decision?

It may be a bug. When you say "the last possible thing", you mean that you have sided before with Helen in the same playthru, right?

It is possible not much people has tested siding first with Helen, and later with John, (It has to be possible thought) thing that added with more variables could have some unexpected result. I'm going to check the code.

If you didn't sided with Helen never on that playthru told me so I know better where to look if I don't see any problem.

I checked the code. That scene (When you sided X times and you get the scene of Helen storming off) is completely linear, should work the same no matter what other variables there are.

Do the freezing occurs Without being able to see she getting up and going away? Or you see her go away and the it freezes? It has happen only one time or you tried again? (game usually don't randomly break but is not unheard of).
Do you get so see this screen?

Or it freezes before?

I putted a safe ward in a piece of coding that Could be problematic, but your answers are appreciated to know if could be that.

Well. It seems that the freezing you get was by never getting John to leave, never, and make helen leave in a playthru? If is that, I found the problem. (but also implies you don't get to see the image of her leaving).

If is not that is another thing, so please confirm.

Hi sorry I was at work and couldn't reply sooner, OK that is the very same picture I got when siding with John (the one you have listed here) Where Helen has her tantrum and is leaving.
Yeas I played the scenario through the first time and choice Helen, it worked out fine with no glitches at all, making me feel like that was the story desired direction in the first place.

Perfect, it will be fixed in next update.

Nah, the thing that ocurrs is that things that players do less they're tested less as is reasonable (Like, Not fucking) xD So is reasonable more time pass until someone report some bugs. I cannot personally test all alternatives of the game, so I depend on players reporting. (usually most bugs are found in closed beta but some can always slip).

Lots of thanks for reporting ;) not only I fixed that but found a source of little possible bugs that now will not ocurr. See ya ;)

Ah, that makes total sense then.

People are playing this for specific reasons, some just want all the fucking and will choose every option to get that.
I did it the first time myself then second-guessed what the future might hold if John was my enemy rather than his wife, whom really would have no implications good or bad for the future of the MC in any way, Whereas the Captain of the guard in a major city hating me, might pose to be an obstacle.

Then again, who knows (well you obviously but aside from you) what Helen could be up to, I mean the questions she was asking about deal with positive outcomes for the city and its people, so that might be the way to go after all, besides she was really talented.

OH before I forget to ask again.
In the intro of the game, there is your title card with 4 women on it, are they from another game you are creating, or are thinking about, and where can I see more of the one on the left, the one still on the porcelain throne?

On the left is "modern" Minerva, same model same body, just different hair :p the rest of the chick "are" or will be in the game, in their BFL personalities. Top right for example is Lydia, that shows on the Piety Cardinal Stat in the menu. Over a bike there is Ana, who is the bread seller on Penketh, etc. If you want to see diverse art from my models I recommend you drop off by the discord and check the art channels where I post diverse renders, I'm afraid I don't have any gallery out there yet :p

Just finished playing this epic game I realy loved the game SeventhVixen you are creating a masterpiece. I saw some of your renders when you were dev of the week so I decided to give it a try and I don't regret at all. I could easily say this is most promising game of f95zone. Story has great potential renders are top notch(though I didn't liked the lighting effect) and most importantly choices has consequences. Girls are hot and I love thicc girls so its double plus++ for me. Only thing that I think needs improvement is animations and I'm sure dev must be working on improving that. Waiting for more katerine and also robin and how could I forgot Minerva and more importantly story that the dev has planned.

Note and I will update in the next release in the walkthrough as I’ve been getting PMed.

To get the Special scene with Mina you need to protect her from a Pierre before ending scene 1. After he slaps her butt select to protect her and then if your lewdness is high enough you will get it.

I just started playing and I have been enjoying it quite a bit.
I have some questions though:
  • Is there any content for Katerina (the servant) and Dexter (tavern) and if there is how do I go about unlocking it? Uh, in my first playthrough I have been focusing on piety since I found it interesting and something not often seen in f95zone games. I don't know if that affects something but I think it made me lose the chance with Minerva.
  • Sometimes there is A LOT of light in the screen. So much that I can barely see anything else (say, purple light when visiting the gypsy camp). Is that an artistic choice or a bug?

Unlocked
Path to 0.13 (devlog part III)
(check if you need)

What a month we had, and what a month will have.
It’s been around ten days since I fixed the computer so I’ve been able to totally focus on making up for lost time, so this is what we’ve got:
State of the update:
1.What is already done:
Canary Trail/Acallarian Ladykiller Quests:

-All initial and middle big scenes, plus some animations already rendered from resolution scenes.
-Most freeroam new scenes / new renders.
-Some combat coded.
Akros Manor:
-Some initial coding, all new akros manor scenes (six) precoding done, new minigame coded, new Akros manor hubs done.
Penketh:
-Meat Stand (Needed for quest)

I also coded some event replays from previous updates that I had in mind, like Iva/Michelle.
2. What is left to do:
Render Wise:

-The Canary Trail resolution big scenes and some minor renders here and there for freeroam scenes/conversations.
(This is no small feat, basically because all of them have a big quantity of characters on screen, a lot of work posing them, and long render times. There is no exact science on knowing if I’ll be able to pose/render them a bit slower or a bit faster, and when taking in consideration hundreds of renders, times add up. Being conservative I hope to have all (all) scenes done in two weeks top)
-Coding Wise:
-80% of the coding. (as said, at least easier than the coding for 0.12, already started with Akros Manor but I’ll steep up on it more to avoid exploding heads like in previous update)
-Save System Improvements.

3. Things I’d like to have time to do (We'll see):

-A combat training scene in Leffrin.
-At least 2-3 Akros Manor scenes more (or more, depends on how fast I finish the Main Story Scenes)
4. Things I’d like to have time to do but I’ll not had:
-The new companion system that will unlock after the events of this update. (Basically because it means making more scenes too).
-Akros Manor extra scenes after finishing Hartlepool (It will have to wait to next updates).

How I plan to make up for the lost time figthing with the computer:
I cannot hide I feel bad with myself for losing many weeks of potential work. I like to work fast and work good. A large update coinciding with computer problems has not been optimal, and even if now I can work perfectly, I cannot render faster, but at least I'm happy seeing that things work smoothly now and I'm not that far from the release. But that's why I planned the future updates to make faster releases:

1. A little roadmap of updates:
April:
0.13 (Big Main Story Update) - (Big Update)
0.14 –
One Side Quest + Side characters (small update)
0.15 -
One Side Quest + Side characters (small update)
0.16
Grassmere Introduction + extra stuff. (Medium Update)
0.17
Chapter 2 All quests-Main Characters finish (Big Update)
I'll make some polls before starting the updates to ask in what side characters focus the Side characters part of the updates (In these updates we'll be adding the Chapter 2 rest of content for side characters (Minerva, Penketh girls, Katerina/Mina...)
The "One side quests" that will center the small updates will be Blockade Laggard (Avani) and Ancient Artifacts (Kaelkirk women). For clarification, small update means at least one month of work and at least 45 minutes of gameplay. (Like 0.11)

2. Computer Improvements:
I'm returning to the plan of keep saving the Patreon money to buy a powerfull computer to work, but after some thinking I noticed that I can start the house from the roof. The most expensive piece of it is the rendering card (1300€, that cost the same or more than all the other pieces I need for the new computer) but it has no sense wait to being able to buy the whole thing, If I can start, even suboptimally, to use already a good rendering card. So I hope I can buy and start using it next month; In the end a better computer will not do much better without the card, but I can use the card without a better computer.

And that's all!
I'm anxious to show you all the nice renders and the story of 0.13! Bear with me, don't forget to drop some likes on the images I share around, it means a lot to me knowing that you like my work, and be safe everyone!
