for those who were not prepared to battle against rhomboid and octagon, it is impossible to win, and there is no way around the save, that is, I lost my save again
You can try editing your save and give yourself 9999 minimal damage.

I'll say it again.. For those who can't place cams (which are optional btw) and those getting grey screens about annodyte dust.. These issues have been fixed in 0.05b, which hasn't been leaked yet.. This is also why we call these builds test builds and why they aren't ready for the public.. But you wouldn't know cause you don't even bother visiting our Patreons reading up about anything..

And yes.. SAVES FROM BEFORE 0.05 WON'T WORK

Sorry about that, just getting tired of seeing the same thing over and over again cause people can't be bother to go back even 1 page.. Let alone read our (FREE) progress reports on Patreon.. :cry:

Don't know if this has been said already but I bought the Annodyte dust and now every Shar's turn in combat I get and error and ignoring it skips her turn. It says the image for the dust cannot be found but it has an image in the inventory. So be careful if you buy the dust, I don't think you actually need for anything in this build.
The image file is missing; You can copy a random image in the same folder and rename it Annodyte Dust or however it is exactly spelled in the crash log and it will at least let you take turns normally.

some cheat code to receive the grenades, I entered the battle without knowing that it needs to be prepared, and I lost my save now that I am locked in that battle
Are you saying that you went through most of the game.. On one save? You have an infinite amount of save slots, so.. Who's fault is that really? xD

Also Diamondhead never charged.
Ah see, that isn't supposed to happen, though I doubt he'll make much of a change, he should definitely charge up. Do you by any chance have a save there? Because I haven't had it happen to me =<

It could use to be nerfed a little, honestly. That, and create a different plot hook for it than Patrolling so we don't have to just spam for cam money and can actually earn money from patrols without being forced into the fight again.
Also warning for the brothers. While grenades make the fight incredibly easy you need at least 3 to be semi-comfortable and 6-7 to be thorough. This is an issue since I think the previous 3 days leave no room for grinding the auto-complete button for money. So you might have to load a save that is significantly far behind if you aren't careful.
Hmmm, yea.. I didn't realize this gets triggered on it's own, usually you have to choose to go somewhere, so you can just choose to delay and grind some combat instead, and there's quite a bit of story before the fight as well.. :unsure: We'll look into it, see if we can give you a breather to earn some money to buy stuff, like with the boss after that. Cause the fight isn't THAT hard, if you have a few items.. But yea, if you can't get them.. I see the issue xD

Keep fireblasting the Octo(thin one I think), each time you get the red charge on Rhom, stun him using XLR8, keep repeating till you knock down the shield, then, use all the grenades you got while stunning the big guy, ONLY when he's charged up, else it's a waste, you got to focus on taking out thin one ASAP...
as for rook's nets, those are pretty useless this fight, only her ability to use special items any good and you got keep both of you alive using the health packs, I needed 3 in total.
This only works if your high enough level or something. If you're not and you get the scene with Qwen, you're locked in and can't get out and your save is esentially bricked unless you way back.

If you're not going to put a cheat engine in the game. It should at least funtion the way it's supposed to instead of resulting in a dead end.

This is why we release it to Patrons first, we never had an issue because we knew what to expect. Now that others had their hand at it, we see a lot of people having difficulties with it. The first one I brushed off cause, yea, it's a boss fight.. But seeing more people get stuck on it and realizing that yea, you can't really avoid it.. We should probably do something about :p

Something something playtesting xD

Wow, there's life in the old dog yet.
I'm glad, seeing as how high the quality of art, writing and even basic gameplay is.
Honestly, if you can get something like a regular update schedule going, this could be on top of the WEG charts. Might even get me on your patreon.

Reading that you can't use old saves is reassuring. I'd dropped my pledge some time ago and recently deleted the game, thinking it dead.

Hmm i don't get it, is there actually a some contect deleting in the last update, because i see in the publisher pictures scenes i can't get to in the game. Like Gwen dressing up ... after a couple of study scenes with her, she just dissapear and the current version ended to me.

I'll point you to the changelog section of the front page that is not updated.....

also compared to others, you update WAY to infrequent to be complaining about us not looking at your patreon. You started 4 years ago, your on update 5. Most devs are on .5 in 5 months. So when you wonder why we don't read your patreon, it's because it's not worth keeping track of. TBH no dev's patreon is that worth keeping track of until someone is curious if the next update is somewhere around the corner.

You're wanting 3.5 million (thats our community member count now) people to run to every developers patreon for news when it would be smarter to bring the news to your audience. And every developer wants us to join their discord for that same reason. I mean WTF logic is this?

You do amazing work, and its not underappreciated by any means. But your standing outside the casino, trying to tell the people inside how the slot machines work.

Oh what's this? The people who pirated it didn't include the correct details? And the people playing this pirated test version are too lazy to figure shit out on their own and then yell at the developers like it's their fault? And then one of the developers gets annoyed by this? Oh no, who could see this coming? :O

Thanks for reviewing an outdated pirated test build with a 1 start.. Who'd have guessed a test version could contain bugs :unsure:.. And yes, the reason it took us so long is absolutely because we were working on the game 24/7 without any sleep, not because our lives were falling apart trying to give you a FREE game. Thanks for being so considerate ^^ (Oh, and maybe you got a break for a day or two to experience the rest of the game, see what else is there, get some items and shit.. Cause there's more than just fucking.. If we lock you into the story you're gonna complain it's too fucking linear >.>)


Anyway, sorry everyone for the rants and the bashing recently.. Just kinda getting tired of all this shit.. We worked long and hard on it (Especially towards the end), I was burning out due to the stress it was giving me.. The game leaks within 12 hours, with some bugs (nothing too nasty, no progress gets broken) and people act like it's the end of the world.. Throwing shit our way cause it took so long to make so clearly it should be perfect.. Except life doesn't work that way..

And then there's the people that blindly pirate the game, which is fine since it's out there anyway.. But we warned in our posts about saves not working, I've talked in the Discord (and here) about the fixes that are already in the next version.. And sure, it's effort to read up on someone's Patreon or join every Discord server.. But I even talked about it here.. A few pages ago.. But of course that's too much effort... They clicked download.. Game no work.. Bash it with 1 star.. Thanks guys.. This makes me burnout feel so much better.. Knowing it was for people like this.. Ungrateful, lazy shits...


Again, I'm sorry if I've been too much of a dick in this or any previous posts.. But everytime I try to explain the situation (the delay, bugfixes, etc).. I get more annoyed and more sassy.. And every time a new page (sometimes even on the same page) starts, the same complaints happen.. And I try to explain, but with more sass this time.. I guess I'll just unwatch my own thread.. The internet is a bad place after all :(
