Good morning everyone. And what a wonderful morning it is.

First, I want to say that this is an amazing experience. Opening up my folders and files, working on the game, and at the end of the day making nothing but content!

For the last few months I was mired in making all kinds of adjustments. Cleaning up files and directories. Adding new features and music. Putting in place all the stuff that I wanted for the game long term. Now that all that is over, I just get to work on...well...the content. Believe it or not but the load actually feels lighter because my to-do list is only focused on content.

To which end, I am happy to say that the Amanda's next chapter is coming along very nicely. Render quality continues to improve as my skills increase, and with each render I seem to spend less and less time putting everything together.
All that said, there are a few other developments I'd like to share as well!

Android Build
We're getting close. Thanks to some Android professionals on some of the forums I frequent I'm slowly going down the checklist of things that are wrong with the build and fixing things one by one. With some help, I got it to compile and install, but could not get it to launch.

With some more help, we debugged the launch and now know why it won't launch, so I'm working on fixing that next. Once it launches, hopefully it'll just be a matter of bug testing.

I'm a very able programmer. Been writing code for mathematical modelling for years. But I've never done anything with Android. But with the help of others, I think we'll get it sorted out and when that's done, I should be able to provide a solid Android build going forward.

With luck, I'll have a working Android version by the end of the week.

Fan Art
I love it! Fan art is good for a project on so many levels. It draws attention to the project. It lets players create their own fantasy using the characters I've created and that they've come to love. And it really shows a strong enthusiasm for the content of the game.

That said, anyone who is interested in making fan art for the game should have a look here.

Some wonderful, enterprising and enthusiastic folks have started a thread dedicated to Fan Art. In the thread, they have also started collecting the information you need to make your fan art as like the game as possible. In support of the endeavor, I've offered to supply all the information you'll need to recreate the characters the same way I do in the game.

I mean, if you're going to make fan art, it might as well be as accurate as possible.

However, for those of you wanting to walk the path of artistic fantasy, I only ask that as you make and share your creations based on the Dr. Amana game, please make sure you label and advertise your work as fan art. (I don't want to spend hours of my week explaining to new players why this picture or that doesn't appear in the game.)

So please, take my characters. Have fun, and be sure to share with all of us what you've come up with. OH! And one last thing.....please be nice to Amanda. She's a sweet heart.

Conclusion
That is all for the moment. I have some more news forthcoming but I want to reserve that for a separate post. I'm finally in a position to open up some opportunities to influence the content of the game, but it requires a bit more organization and structure. Till then...

I salute you!

Cheers!

Search for the bug fix in this thread. It'll fix the problem.

 

[PhoenixFireeye]

All bugfixes should be on the OP so people who have just started the game for the first time see that there is a bugfix and know that they need to download it as well. Instead of finding a bug while playing and then searching for a fix. Most games put the bugfixes and patches right on the OP, this game should as well.

Report the post to the moderation/TAG them with the post. That way they can see and put it on the OP.

I don't disagree. But I've noted previously that until something is part of a public release and not patron only content, I will not add it to the OP. Therefore, it is up to some enterprising pirate/mod to do it in the meantime.

I don't interfere with patron content showing up on the forums, but until it's public, I don't put it there personally.

If someone wants to take care of that, I certainly won't stop them. Till then, I'll just keep kindly responding.

 

[PhoenixFireeye]

Is there a list of what order to do the characters chapters in so it is in chronological order? I prefer reading things in order, it is less confusing to say the least.

 

[PhoenixFireeye]

I have a question. If the options are choosing to end a relationship or choosing a neutral response, why does choosing the neutral response add points to anything?

I can understand if there where 3 choice, red, blue and purple, and choosing purple adds to both red and blue bars. But if the only options are end relationship or neutral, the neutral shouldn't add points to anything. I'm currently going through an all blue run-through and was confused/upset that I had red on some characters.

don't you dare question the dev 300 IQ mind! Everything was very carefully thought out and tested. In the current form, the points system is perfect.

Overview says "build a harem" but no harem tag? So.... is there or no so I know if I have to do multiple saves for each girl (I prefer harem)

 

[RomanHume]

Is there a list of what order to do the characters chapters in so it is in chronological order? I prefer reading things in order, it is less confusing to say the least.

The individual stories are more or less self contained. Sometimes chronology is important and when that occurs, some characters will be locked until you've completed another character's scene. For instance, for the first few chapters Nanami must be completed before Emily, Emily must be completed before Cassie, etc. But when chronology doesn't exist, they'll appear together and give the player a choice of which story they want to hear first.

The goal is to give people the freedom to focus on the characters they are interested in the most.

Outside of a few instance which the game enforces, chronology doesn't really exist. When I'm writing the stories it's outside the context of any pre-defined order.

Purple choices increase both red and blue by the same amount. Sometimes, when in the presence of multiple characters, a response may provoke a red response in one character while others will see it as blue.

For instance...

If you're going for an all blue play through, these instances of purple and inverted choices will never be enough to push you off the blue path. You'll still get all the "blue" content that way.

Eventually there will be. To keep the OP honest, I made a promise not to include any tags that aren't currently in the game as it is.

Under the developer notes in the OP you can see some of the things I intend to add as the game develops. But right now the tags only reflect what is currently in the game and omits planned tags.

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

I finally got the time to play the newest version.
Quite enjoyed Nanami's story bits, seems like she has as much to lose as Roger if they don't remove Arthur Wheathermoore from the vice presidency of the company.

Dan Allen is shady, now i got to worry about Lola. Anyway not sure he also should be trying to threaten Roger after his own admission that they hold the same kind of anger inside their minds.

ps: i think his girlfriend(?) likes my Roger...

 

[Ive-11]

when the pregnant scene coming up? dev say that content cn be turn on n off

 

[MisterL]

discovered this game recently and had fun diving into it, but now i'm kinda stuck and don't know if i reached the end of it, or it some kind of bug which prevents progression.

after chapter 2 of cassie (? - the daughter) i'm back at the screen with the therapist and the selection of the the next chapter, but i can't click anything. i'm not able to select any of the seven portaits, nor does click the therpist do anything.

do i get any kind of message of i reached the end of content this version includes or is this really more kind of a bug?

An end of content message was added to the bug fix I released in the week or two following the last update. If you search the thread you'll find someone's added the fix to the thread. To date though, no enterprising soul has added it to the OP. Sorry about that.

thx for the quick reply!

in other words all i'm missing is the message that i did reach the end of the game in its current state?

For the most part. The bug fix corrects some other typos and fixes a few exceptions and errors along the way.

My pleasure. I often check through the threads when I'm waiting on test renders to kick out. You caught me at a good time. =D
