So are people complaining because of saves and bugs, or are there also issues with story,scenes etc.

I believe it is the first one about saves and bugs in a leaked beta version.

529 pages to "read all about it there are no shortages of "games / VN's" to play

Do we have to start over from the beginning ?

Yes, Yes you have to since the code was changed.

I wouldn't say it's a mess, having played through the entire thing myself. The missing events around Ain are the most serious bug I noticed. There are a surprising amount of typos - I counted a few dozen at least - in both old and new content. There were some more minor bugs that person listed and some others that are probably being tracked already because of how obvious they are, like the save menu not loading the correct images until you mouse over them.

The reworked events have introduced some discontinuities later that are probably being tracked. For example, once you take over the highway settlement and fuck Kyra, she'll mention that she hasn't let Asha fuck Zaton before. However, in the expanded events in Adira where you help Kyra regain control of her gang, there's at least one path where Zaton does fuck Asha next to Kyra, so Kyra's later concern for her sister no longer makes sense. Not sure if that's a flag bug or if the post-highway victory event hasn't been updated to account for the new sequence of events.

There's another event in the new content that isn't as bad but was pretty noticeable for me - Ivy goes through a combat sequence where she gets several severe bruises, but in her next appearance a few in-game hours later, she's completely healed up and none the worse for wear. I'm not sure if that's intended - maybe elves have a heretofore unmentioned healing factor - but it made me wonder why the dev would bother scratching her up if it didn't matter, especially considering that the other mutants mostly end up covered in blood but uninjured otherwise. Ivy gets the shit kicked out of her and seemingly shrugs it off.

Sounds rather bad to me. I'll just wait for a fixed version. I wouldn't want to restart everything yet again.

ALERT

The current version of the game is a TEST version. NOT everything is available and there are bugs. The completed version is due to be released on the 13th. If you want to avoid some frustration, I recommend WAITING a few days until the next release.

Yes, playing what is here IS nice, but there are some things missing/disabled as well as bugs. Because of the changes you MUST start from the beginning to avoid missing some new content.

Hope that helps.

 

[whatone]

Not to deffend unthinkers, just saying it's a natural thing for things that don't matter

Ha ha, unfortunately things only don't matter, until they do.
For the people that didn't think about them when they don't, it's a lot harder to adjust when they do.

Best advice is don't play Beta versions. Wait for full release. That way you won't encounter too many issues & inconsistencies.

 

[Satou Pendragon]

Hope that helps.

I somehow doubt that helped...For it to help People would have to read your Post first instead of just downloading the Beta and playing it directly.

I'm not so sure all the bugs will be spotted and fixed by then. I think it's safer to wait for V0.18.

Yeah, that's the best idea for sure. I just wanted to see the differences early.

The next release is for steam so most of the problems SHOULD be fixed (I hope). If the problems aren't all fixed, then I would expect they will be taken care of quickly.

Yeah, this is the second or third time I've written this sort of post, but I am optimistic with my pessimism about others reading

Just some thoughts.

Or do play it, properly adjust your expectations since you're realizing you're playing a (leaked, never meant for public) beta, make note of stuff you encounter, and be a helpful bud (instead of just a leech) & report back your findings. (Talking in general btw, not to you personally.)

Would have helped if OP came with a big fat warning I suppose; this thread would've been better off with most people skipping it.

Not sure if that would make much difference, having eyes is a luxury for some people

Right. I forgot that it had that Banner there. Some People really have selective perception...

If someone ignores that warning then they shouldn't be allowed to complain about it.

Yeah, I posted about that banner on the V0.17 title screen a couple of pages back to educate another F95 user on the fact that V0.17 is an internal beta preview build and some content/missing animations is a given that it's only an internal beta preview release build.

Raising awareness about the fact that there is a banner can only do so much if people choose not to read things more carefully I'm afraid...

Dev focused secondary/side characters story
Dev need to focus mc main girls story
I'm not interested ugly mutant paths

Yeah I forgot about that Banner since I wanted to wait until it's out of the Beta.

I love this passion and flaming optimism....
