Hey so I found the bug ppl are reporting on the battle_functions.rpyHey everyone,
Just a quick heads-up: the game has been updated on itch.io and it should be available here on F95 shortly!
These updates don't include new story content, but bring a lot of fixes and improvements — many of them inspired by feedback and suggestions from you all. So, thank you!
If something you pointed out hasn’t been addressed yet, it’s likely because I’m still working on it. (The item system, for example, is getting a reworked/updated for Chapter 4.)
I really appreciate all the support and feedback. I know there's still plenty to do, I promise I'm doing my best.
This actually makes sense since I first encountered the error after battling Jenna right before the evening event triggered with ED in the park. I can't confirm that it occurred after that event again but I *did* battle Jenna later so I wouldn't be surprised if that is what triggered the bug.Hey so I found the bug ppl are reporting on the battle_functions.rpy
ln 319 you define $ i = 0
After the battle level 2 with Jenna she might use her hero and this messes up the "i" that is called on every thought of the mc after the battle
The bug appears to be related to the battle with Jenna. I can so far confirm that it only ever happens after a battle with her. It does, so far, appear to be related to her Champion ability. If she uses that ability then after the fight the bug will start happening. I'm reluctant to 100% confirm it's just that but so far that's what it appears to be related to.Interesting game, but it is very buggy.
You are likely correct. It sounds like it would be a relatively simple fix, so I wonder why it is taking so long to issue a patch or an update? Devs rely on sales and continuous funding through Patreon et al to fund game development and hopefully make a profit. At the end of the day, unless a dev can self-fund their game, the devs 'vision' and 'story I want to tell' is irrelevant and customer/fan service is paramount.The bug appears to be related to the battle with Jenna.

Edit: I've been managing to avoid the bug by saving right before any battles with Jenna. I still haven't managed to get past her third level without her using her Champion. I'll either have to wait for the bug fix to battle her at that level or maybe come back with an upgraded deck later.
Meh, the bug was annoying sure, but it hasn't been *that* long since it was released and who knows what is going on in the devs real life. For all we know he's got a job that takes up a lot of his time and can't get back to working on this immediately. Besides, now that you know what causes it, you can simply avoid the trigger.

Source: I'm in sales and you have to sell customers what they want, not necessarily what they need.
Thanks a lot for the report!Seems to be a serious issue with Mrs Elliot in the latest update. You get a message saying your progress with Mrs Elliot has been reset and you have to fight her again. However.... despite it saying in your tasks you need to fight her within 10 days your process hasn't actually been reset so even if you do fight her again it doesn't register!
Don't mind QoL stuff even though they were not needed. But is there a ETA for content update 0.4?
Cheers
I did join around the time for the last content drop which was mid April I think. Figured it was due now or at least very close for the next..There’s no ETA for content update 0.4 just yet — I’m working hard on it, but it’s a pretty big update, so I can’t give a reliable release window for now.
That said, I regularly share development progress on my Patreon/Subscribestar (it's free), so feel free to check those out if you’d like to know where I'm at. The first dev update for 0.4 should be coming later this month.
I'm obviously sad to disappoint, but no new content or ETA just yet.I did join around the time for the last content drop which was mid April I think. Figured it was due now or at least very close for the next..
Never said you did disappoint, just asked about ETA, no more no less. CheersI'm obviously sad to disappoint, but no new content or ETA just yet.
I'd rather not give false hopes or promise anything I can't guarantee.
I'm doing my best, but I'm working on this solo, putting in 20–30 hours a week on top of two jobs. Each chapter take hundreds of hours, and while I’m fully committed, I just can’t go faster for now... especially since the game’s barely covering its development costs (which I'm extremely grateful for!). Thanks a lot for your patience, understanding and support, it really means a lot.
Sounds like the same problem other people were talking about, the dev just posted a fixed version (v0.3.7) on Itch.Game becomes unplayable after day 4, constant errors which I suspect is cutting off dialogue, and even if it isn't, it's frustrating to have to constantly click ignore.
