Ren'Py Echoes of Mythria [v0.37 Hotfix] [Zesty]

Hello and thanks for trying the game and your comments!

I have the same bug battling Sam at the mall

This bug has been fixed in the latest update. Please make sure you're using the most recent version. I’m really sorry for it, I know how frustrating it is.

Ok the game has a bug so easy and normal mode does not change the time to 60 seconds it's locked at 30 seconds. Hence impossible to complete as you have to finish 6 orders and it does not respond that fast at all. I extracted the file and modified the default value so I could get the pictures needed.

1. Timer bug it does not change with difficulty level
2. Skip a Day (time does not actually pass every other day for receptionist but if you skip a day event does not trigger to get new picture)

I have over 500 money now due to all the attempts to get the chef pictures and was not possible until I hacked the variable by extracting the game and editing the script file.

1. The timer is working as intended. During the tutorial (your first time learning), you have 60 seconds (and less, easier, orders), but afterward, it’s reduced to 30 seconds. I know the last levels can be quite tough, but that challenge was intentional for this non-essential part of the game (and the reward it gives). That said, I may introduce new ways to access such content later on. Tip: You can press spacebar to confirm the order a bit faster.
2. That also seems to be working correctly — I just double-checked in the latest build. If you see the Secretary, simply exit Reception and re-enter until she’s gone. The “Again” hint is meant to point to the repetitive nature of it (yes, repetitive and dumb — but I promise it will enventally lead somewhere worth it!). All “Again” pictures relate to the Secretary.


Let me know if you need any help, your feedback is really helpful, and I’m already taking note of the frustrating points you’ve raised to improve things going forward.

It's a pretty minor bug but I just started the game and in both the first two battles it says "Ed begins" but in reality I get the first turn, which was a little confusing.

Thank you for pointing it out, I'll look into it.

anyone know how to get pic no 54?

Ask Ed a few questions (you do not need to ask them all, 3 should be enough) in the library.

Thanks for playing!

You need to give an easy level... I enjoy the game but I hate having to hack the game to make it playable. I am over 50 and my hand eye coordination is not what it use to be. When we get older our coordination drops and we get a bit slower. So currently the way you have it.. It is IMPOSSIBLE for me to win a single game. 45 seconds at the very least on easy mode as right now it's impossible and I can't be expected to extract file, edit script every single update to enjoy the game.

Noted, will do!
I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Thanks!

It doesn't have something to do with asking her about Ember?

Absolutely, but I thought he had already done that part since he got the other pictures but I may have misread, my apologies.

So first you need to ask her about Ember plenty of times. THEN you can come back every day (and if she's there, just go out and come back until she isn't).
