Please do this soon. I just lost 10+ days (got sent back to day 2) and don't plan on playing again until manual saves are added.
Did you start a new game and overwrite your old save ?
Manual saves are coming, but probably not for a few weeks. I've got a few other systems being added first.

Nope. I loaded my day 2 save, played for a couple of hours, closed the game on day 10+ (don't quite remember), and the next day when I opened the game and hit continue, I was on day 2 again.

Never encountered the game not saving before, not sure what could have caused that. I'll look into it, but hopefully should be resolved once new save code is written.

I really love this game, Lucy's character design is so simple yet her personality is so peak. I hope you can refine the H-scene a lot better, add a bit of movement on bed scene instead of just the character going in and out lol

The sex scenes are all going to get face-lifts, a little at a time. The bed scene was the first one I drew, and I wasn't sure how much animation was going to get done in general at that point.

Right now I'm still trying to get a lot of the core gameplay added, so a lot of aspects just lack polish. Lots of missing or incomplete art. I'm genuinely thrilled people like it so much in its current state, because it's only going to get better.

The game reminds me of imouto fantasy and I think you took all the best ideas from that game and made a better version of your own. My only suggestions is to make it more rewarding, the amount of things you gotta do in the game warrants some kind of really great H-scenes at the end, this makes early and mid game a bit of a chore and if it wasn't for the soulful art and story, I wouldn't push through it. (While I had to cheat on the imouto fantasy to skip the grind) Your game is that good, it has a lot of potential and that's an understatement.

I'm sure you have a lot planned out but hopefully you can make the background a little more bigger, I really like the small drawings of Lucy in the background! :D Can't wait for future updates!

Even if it's limited to like two or three frame please add some rollback. Sometimes I (or my double-clicking ass mouse) click too fast and I'll miss what Lucy or an event would say or accidently barge into her room for the nth time because I just wanted to check in with her at the end of the night but now I'm paralyzed on floor and she goes down from max trust again....

Manual saves are coming, that should fix most of those problems - and it will likely keep a few autosaves instead of just 1. Working on it.

I run on Windows 11 and for some reason the game doesn't run for me; only showing a black screen. I am not sure if "Debug" is the default for the game when starting since "Debug" is part of the title of the windows screen. I thought that it was loading slowly at first, but when I accidentally fell asleep and woke up the next day, the screen is pitch black. I've tried moving the mouse, pressing keyboard keys, and restarting the game, but it has failed to start for me.

P.S: I downloaded in WorkUpload

Could you do me a solid and download the game off Itch.io (the official host) and see if that version works? It would help me to know if it's a problem in the game engine or if one of the mirrors here just has a bad copy. Also, what kind of graphics card do you have? And processor?? If you don't want to post any of that publicly, feel free to send me a DM with the info. A few people have mentioned this black screen, but I've tested on a bunch of hardware and never seen it so I'd love to hunt down the problem.

Also, shot in the dark here, what resolution is your display? Are you using a 4k monitor?

I'm aware Godot used to have similar issues with AMD drivers (particularly Radeon Image Sharpening and Anti-Lag), which I can see on games like Dome Keeper dating back to aug-oct 2024, at least according to a .

It might be completely unrelated, I don't have an AMD card right now to play around with, but if it is an issue with AMD GPUs, you could try-
- Disabling Radeon Image Sharpening and Anti-Lag in the AMD settings (Adrenalin), or
- Specifying the renderer (by running the game through the command line, with e.g. FindingColor.exe --rendering-method forward_plus --rendering-driver vulkan)

I have yet to test the game on any radeon GPUs (lack of access) so I would also be curious if this was the case. If so, I'll see if there's anything I can do on my end as well.

Wait, I have a Framework 16 with the RX 7700S. I'll give it a go.

EDIT: Nope, sorry. Can't get ForestInn to crash.
Tried various combinations of Anti-Lag/Sharpening with no effect.
Tested on GPU RX 7700S, driver 24.12.1, CPU Ryzen 9 7940HS, Windows 11 build 22631. Resolution 2560x1600 at 165Hz.

Thanks for trying, appreciate it.

If you want to see if a mirrored version has been changed you can compare its hash value to the original version. It compares the binary directly, so it can't really behave any different.

Is selling the whole keg not implimented yet?
Not yet, it'll be in one of the upcoming updates. I'm expanding on merchants to be NPCs soon, and there will be a lot more options with them in an upcoming update. Not sure if I'll manage to get it into this week's update, but good chance it'll be in next week's.
