Not much, a few scenes at most maybe.

It's not really the focus of the game.
As a huge sharing fan myself, I agree with the others here who say it isn't that much atm, but I will say what is here is one of the hottest games with that I have yet played, and believe me, I've looked.

I still fire up the game and visit the gallery to revisit one of my favorite scenes of all time.

Even without that, though, this game offers a singular experience with its world setting and quest-based narrative. There's not another one quite like it and it's very worth your time.

Except it's not...Most people see 18.0 as a full release here. Alpha, betas and the like usually have separate designations. Hence the confusion.
It literally said "v0.18.0 BETA" and upon loading the game it says in BIG BOLD GIGANTIC yellow lettering INTERNAL BETA TEST version for most of the of the top screen.

I don't see any confusion here.

You understand the new naming system. I understand the new naming system. Most people do. But going back to release 17, there are plenty of posts of people confused by it and asking about it in this thread. That is the confusion. People posting questions not understanding it. That is what happens when for years you have one naming system, and after 16 release versions it changed.

I didn't download 18.0 because I understood it was still a work in progress. Unfortunately there are those who don't read changelogs and just click download. Not worth getting your panties in a twist over it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi everyone, we have just released another patch for 0.18 that primarily focuses on fixing the corrupted animations of 0.18.2.

While animations worked properly in our internal development build, an issue with the compression upon packaging resulted in most animations becoming choppy and / or incomplete, apologies for that.


They should be properly working now.

We also took this opportunity to quickly fix certain issues that were reported regarding the new, and update a few translation files.

Full changelog follows below:

Update 0.18.3 patch notes
Minor changes / Bugfixes:
  • Fixed all animations that were choppy or incomplete due to compression
  • Fixed a potential soft-lock in the music player when selecting multiple categories
  • Fixed an issue where Ain's event after the market could not be unlocked in the gallery. Loading a save should retroactively unlock it if you have seen the event at least once.
  • Simplified the conditions for the twins market scene (accessing it is now more consistent)
  • Fixed a logical error that prevented Kateryna's quest from concluding if the player hasn't romanced her

Translations
  • Added Italian translation (credits: Eagle1900)
  • Updated Simplified Chinese translation (credits: aler)
  • Updated Russian translation (credits: Kasatik)

As always, thank you to each and every one that reported bugs and other issues, and we will continue working on the remaining issues in the meantime.

Until next time,
Paz.

i got the exact same error even story progress isnt helping so far. :(
I had to play two different versions. I had to play the regular version for Ain's room scenes and then jumped back to the mod version for the others. Until, I got to the end, I had to finish it off with the regular version. I wish this game had a built in WT. That way it should work without having to download two different copies lol.

I have 0.18.1.
What should I patch it with or should I download the whole game again?
