This is indeed an annoying bug and if I had found the reason, it would have been fixed for a long time.
I'm always ready to fix your save and adding myself the required items, just contact me. It can be done pretty fast.
I understand your frustration but giving one star to a review just won't help the game to get better at this point since you seem to like it a bit to sink a few hours in it.
Renpy won't change much the navigation between places. It's a design choice.
You have crystals and icons to teleport to places where it is logical (hotel room, downtown, cybercorp, Police station...)
You have also teleport for the Oxygen Bar Maid Job or even Kassiah.
I know some people don't like rpgm, some people don't like renpy either...To be honest, I don't like renpy for development, I feel it not intuitive.
The fact is I'm pretty at ease now with years learning how rpgm work after many trials and errors and even if it's not perfect, it's a good tool for my work.
Starting to renpy now would make me go back to the baby steps stage and you don't want that in the middle of the development, trust me.
It doesn't mean I won't be open for another software, renpy or whatever it is for a future project.
The debug crystal is not supposed to be here anymore in the links I had to re-upload. It was a cheat for development only and not intended at all. Please, don't use it, be a big boy and play the game with its rules.
I won't be back to the Oxygen Bar soon but I know I tried a game over event which was not well received. I have ideas about this place for a better immersive scene with Maestro.
This is fair. You are disappointed and you expected some content you didn't see coming. The fact is I cannot satisfy anyone and when you say I open more routes, it was not planned for 0.5.1. You have small side things (that got bigger than expected because I really liked it) and the main stuff is coming back for the next update.
I suggest you to pause for one or two update and comeback to feel the game again.
This is the spirit of the game. You said it all. Arguing won't help improving the game, constructive criticism will.
Fred will be back pretty soon now.
For Cody, I cannot satisfy everybody but I try things.
No, this is not my approach even if my girls have torpedos.
To conclude for now, I know the game is far from perfect. It has a large amount of pictures (over 10k) and that is why it is large. RPGM can be buggy but extremely buggy...I think not.
Sure the quality of life has to be improved and it will.
The game is in progress, it will get better.
I'm annoyed for the sacred hearts of deviance and I understand it can be frustrating. Maybe the system to become deviant will be changed for the 1.0.
Thank you for your feedbacks, good and mixed.
The next update will focus on the red district and existing routes, planned for a long time now.
We will go right into the main missions for the next year (Police Missions, The Core)
Charlotte and Kassiah will be there as well as Nina and Sissy.
