Hi, I think I overflowed my reputation, and now my Inn projects are completely disabled (I'm COOKED )

And after restarting the game my gold is also gone

1st) Thank you! I've been trying to figure out the cause, and this is easy to fix.
2nd) Sorry for your loss. I'll see if there's a fairly painless way to help people recover their stuff.

I'm going to try and fix this right now, and if I can get it sorted, I'll upload a fix tonight.

Edit: I for sure found one issue on that front, and repaired it. The new version is uploaded on itch. I'm unsure if it'll fix the damaged save, if you load up your save and there's still issues, could you let me know what they look like? I'll try to see what I can do.

I think it has been fixed, nature is healed

I gotta say, a lot of Monochrome-inspired games end up missing the point about what made Imouto Fantasy good but this, it doesn't quite scratch the same itch by virtue of Monochrome Fantasy being centered around the sister taboo, but the dev here actually seems to understand what made people like Monochrome Fantasy. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't just about the sex scenes cause Monochrome Fantasy had some absolutely, phenomenally well-drawn sex scenes. But the interactability and responsiveness of the imouto, and in turn our capacity to care about her - or in this case, the mage, is also a big part of why Monochrome Fantasy worked. And this game seems to be getting there.

Admittedly the sex scenes of this game aren't quite as hot but I still think Lucy's pretty cute.

edit: Also forgot to mention the slow build-up towards penetrative and/or consensual sex. Imouto Fantasy pretty much teased you by slowly easing you into lewd scenes. And the build-up towards her letting you first just take a bath with her to eventually letting you touch her. That's something this game's still missing so far but I have some faith.

Here's an inoffensive visual bug - when reloading the game, ongoing brewing projects show "Brewing ..." instead of "Brewing Ale/Mead/Wine/Spirits...".
In projects/panel_keg.gd, variable booze is not restored from Playerstats.proj_cellar["cask" + str(slot)]["brewing"].

Also, putting my editor where my mouth is, here's a (provisional) cheat menu. Not much for now, just the main inn/Lucy/Player vars (no inventory/loot/Scout).
Compatible with Alpha v0.9.2, might implode with high prejudice on other versions or not (not too sure how Godot packs stuff, I'm still a beginner on that).

Instructions:

1. Download attachment,
2. Unzip in the game directory - override.cfg should be next to FindingColor.exe,
3. Launch the game,
4. On the main inn menu, press F12 and hope for the best.

Thanks for pointing that out, it's on the list.

Excellent game! Really great art, and I like how it manages to have a high number of systems and resources to manage without feeling overwhelming.

Small bug: I managed to go into wood debt using "+Increase Brewing Yield" with only 6 chopped wood.

Thanks, glad you like it! And thank you for the bug report, it'll get fixed for the next version.

I've had this on my watch list for a while and finally got around to trying it, and I have to say it's one of the more enjoyable adult games I've played recently. It has quite the charming atmosphere with the UI and general visual design. The combat and management aspects are not difficult, but still requires you to pay attention. I greatly appreciate the number of clothing variants for each sex scene, that's a nice touch, and I think I actually prefer those animations to the more involved sex minigame. I'm looking forward to seeing how this game will be further polished and expanded.

Personally I'd like to see some more interaction with the various adventurers that come by your inn, perhaps some kind of skill or ability check where you have the opportunity to impress the female guests that results in a scene. It'd also be nice to see Lucy being more proactive when she's at high Trust/Interest/Desire, perhaps approaching the player in the evening when they're Bathing/Training/Making Tea, etc.

Thanks! Most of those things you'd like to see are planned and on the way. Lucy will approach you already if its cold out, but I'll have some more in the near future.

Are they all Godot games? Try looking for troubleshooting tips on their website

I was running into this issue as well. Went to the forums for Godot and turns out that somtimes Nahimic software will block the program from launching for some reason (even if it shows that godot is running in task manager). I quit out of the Nahimic program and the game launched without any issues.

Great game !

New update over on Itch, has rolling auto-saves, new npc, enchants, new morning + evening actions and a bunch of other stuff. Enjoy!

 

[Crescens]

Just an FYI if you don't have patrol notes and scout isn't interested in flirting with you then its impossible to continue when you click on scout's event. All the options are unavailable.

(edit) Also when you spend the night with scout afterwards it gives you the option to spend the night with scout (although it is grayed out). Not sure if you want to keep that there or not.

(edit 2) sorry this just is just nit picking but you can exceed the limits on wood/ale/food if you purchase them from a merchant. I use this all the time but I guess it should be fixed too.

Good catch, it's fixed and uploaded.

Edit: It's intended that you can exceed maximums. If you do and then don't use them, they decay. Sometimes it's worth buying extra if you intend to use them in the evening.

Not sure what might have caused that but I'll look into. There is an annoying bug with some events which prevents them from closing out sometimes. I'm hunting it down, hopefully resolved soon.
Thanks for the feedback!
