thats on the list, its gonna be a menu. like the bureau in the front in the curtain in the new episode 4 house will be the same menu. the lockers are basically just there for plausible deniability because I really like shows on the CW network where all the main characters can magically appear across town in a new outfit scene to scene to scene.

Theyre like magic clark kent phone booth costume change plot devices. but they WILL also toggle outfits soon lol.

theyre there so when youre streaking around and then go upstairs and start a scene dressed automatically, it's like "oh i must have visited a locker off screen"
except now you can't go nude to the nude beach...

But I hear you, you have a list of things to take care of and you know about this, so all is cool

That's the function of the Strip thing?

Hmmm. The couple of times I tried it, it didn't seem to do anything...

Really have to replay this now

One more improvable bit, if I may?

What is the point of all those lockers in the underground system?

Your can hear Amber dress or undress, but it's hard to know which action she actually does, since there's no dress or undress menu, and no change in the standing picture...
Pretty sure they just put on clothes if you're naked. Since there's several ways to either enter drains naked or become naked there.

completed episode 3 and gone through the story part of episode 4 but when I went back to Amber's house it reactivated the 2 final quests for ep 3 in the quest log and removed whatever the quest is supposed to be for ep 4.

it's just the bare minimum to show the car is back basically. There's nothing else to do in episode 4 yet. You made it to the end!!! (There is an e4 date for Malcolm in the phone but you may have seen that already)

I'm gonna put a bit more pretentious bullshit in the first two eps and then its full steam ahead on the episode 4 sandbox <3 thanks for playing!

Lol OK I updated again and you're going to lose your minds.

I did the most creative shit with a dubstep track since like 2013 and I basically gave Kojima a blowjob.

Preliminary report...

Starting the game caused this error. I replaced the existing cassie1d by copying and replacing cassie1 and then renaming. Could also be my save.
start error.png

When going off the mine map to the north in the clocks quest, this image just stayed on-screen indefinitely (soft lock). This happened before, so again might be something in my save.
still not working.png

Also very strange... When I enter this mine opening:
Mine 1.png

I end up here:
Mine 2.png

There’s no way out, so I go back through the same “door” I came in from, and end up here:

Mine 3.png

Going back though the “door” or up the ladder partially seen at the bottom of this image gets me back to the first map.

Maybe not an issue worth bothering with.

Anyway, I decided that maybe my save was too messed up to work any more, so restarted. I couldn't bear to play through the whole game to get to the new stuff, so restarted with the save provided last time (v 4R1) that starts with chapter 4.

Noticed that “Lt Dan” sprite is missing in this scene:

No Dan.png

And also that I couldn't get to the Pizza place any more. I go past the car sales place and end up here, with no way out except back the way I came:

No pizza for you.png

The blowup at Martin when taking out the trash was a nice reminder of just how unstable Amber has become because of all the pressure.

I lol’d at the conversation Amber had with Megan’s mom. Amber’s definitely stopped filtering her speech!

The rave/drug trip was absolutely trippy! Loved the "clowns who always block the door" graphics. Both raves I've seen so far were very artistic, the second one in particular. You might want to see if you can sneak in a similarly artistic scene (not necessarily sex, but as artistic) earlier in the game, to help entice players to keep playing. Those were the best parts of the game so far.

More to come...

I've never used that cassie image in the game, I don't know why that's happening to you lol, just rpgmaker weirdness, or your save file.

this is gonna sound crazy but if you go home, and enter the phone it will clear the misapplied state that wont let you go to the pizza place. it wasnt for that door in particular but i foresaw some doors breaking under some conditions and made the phone fix it.

There is a new scene in the first ~10 minutes, that is also "artistic", i clipped a video of it for the changelog, but i agree im gonna add more. it literally never occurred to me to just go full filmic convention but now that it did im probably just going to shoot like a dozen music videos now.

The idea in the mines is like, you unknowingly autopiloted down there by way of a one way "videogame sawtooth path" so it's a little surprise that you can't get out through the same way, but like youre not really stuck, stuck, its just a contrived circumstance to force Amber to talk to a homeless person in an HRPG, no of course it isn't the ruins are going to shift around like they did in Brazil. Thats the vibe.

I'm so proud of both raves, the first one is just like a happy "let's be proud to be women" type feeling and then the second one is something you can only see for the first time once.

I thought the addition of the cinematic dream sequence in the prologue raises the bar for you. Now, you just HAVE to have those videoclip moments everytime you announce a chapter, at the very least!

I also think Joe’s problem is caused by a bugged save, I never had such a Cassie bug. I did get stuck on the same limping soft-lock image once, but couldn’t replicate it. I think it may happen when we go back in the mines in late game, after completing its current content in a previous chapter. More testing required…

I kind of think I raised the bar for the medium, no shade. More is definitely coming.

I went a little nuts and I added the first leg to the Photoblog quest, it's uploaded and everything lol. The thread hadnt been put in latest updates yet and I decided that it should have at least one step not just a teaser. But sorry to whatever the 30 people who missed it.

I updated again! Slowest fastest dev on this site! I added 3 music videos that explain Amber's psychology to Episode 1. The third one floats in time, it technically takes place towards the end of Episode 3 but it can be accessed earlier. The emotional high Amber is riding persists through the entire DA questline so it's fine to watch it at any point.

As a former journalist who worked in newspapers for 20 years...
1) I appreciate the name
2) I wonder how many people actually understand where this term comes from and get why what is above/below the fold matters.

Props man.

Lol like ten mins in: "I want everything out in the open. Above the fold. No secrets, not from my public." but yeah it's probably a completely analogue, deprecated piece of nonsense jargon to a high schooler rn.

play my game! she's got red hair and green eyes and she does every female journalist trope naked!!!
