So, is there a way to manually trigger a scene? Been trying to trigger the Spike scene but rng hates my guts with a burning passion it seems. Already seen the note as he left for now, wondering how many weeks etc until he shows up in the library to ask to join as a follower.

If it is single player, you need to know the name of the event. Let say it is Spikerun, so if that was the name, you go to the area location and type Hunt Spikerun. You would have to pull up the NPC list for the event names on the wiki.

The wiki does not say about a event it says;
If Alexandra has been recruited and had at least one litter of pups along with moderate waiting period, Spike will randomly be waiting for you to arrive at the Grey Abby Library. Due to wanderlust and the want to break away from his mother, he will approach about joining the player as a companion.
Doesn't say anything about a event which is really annoying.
Wish I knew just how to add him as a ally or force him to spawn instead of this rng bs which has had no dice for like 2 weeks of in-game time.
Ahhh, it is one of the offspring. Nope havn't done that, been waiting for them to add a daughter npc companion, but chances are slim to none.
Found a way around the whole import process taking forever and a day. Delete the export files you didn't change anything in and it takes much less time. For example, I changed data in FSPlayerSave and FSNewPlayerSave, but nothing else. So I deleted the other export files and only imported the two mentioned files. Took less than a minute to finish. The import process probably takes so long because the Git.exe has to read EVERYTHING in each file and some of them have a LOT of shit in them. So just delete the ones you didn't edit and you'll save yourself some time.
Another thing. For those who prefer being human and STAYING human, you're in luck. There is a transformation item that after transforming you into a powerful stag with very high stat increases, will turn you fully human if used again. The item does not go away so you can use it as many times as you want. However, the item is locked behind the level 30 quest, The Twelve Labours. You get it as a reward from the third labour quest, capturing the sacred hind of Artemis. Alternatively, you could save Colleen's 3 spray actions for if/when you want to become a pure human again. Those are limited to 3 times only though so use them sparingly.
Try navigating to other area and going back to the library, i got spike pretty quickly after having a sex with Alexandra once. Some event trigger only when you change location.

Did that again and again with no luck. Guess rng does hate me, will try again though. Now if only there was a way to add companions you want in your save without all the hoop jumping and praying to rngesus.

I've been mirroring FS builds, so you might be able to find them here:
You must be registered to see the links
The 2021-12-06 and 2022-01-13 builds are close to that size, so maybe it's one of those. Pretty sure I have the Feb 2022 and Mar 2022 builds kicking around somewhere as well…I'll try to get those uploaded later.
Edit: Just added the February 2022 and April 2022 builds. Looks like I'm missing the March 2022 build, though.

Ok, I might be dumb, but I tried to download it from GoFile, and it gave a *.msi file. Now this might be the actual file I need, but when I tried to run it, windows defender blocked it. So basically what im trying to ask is, am I supposed to get an *.msi file of around ~430mb?

Yes, that should be the installer. Windows will often block obscure files from running

So trying out the game and I just gotta ask is there no map or anything to know where you are at in the game? Cause at the moment once I leave the library the left part of the screen is just black with me able to pick directions to walk in but I have no idea if I am walking into a dead end or not and sometimes I just seemingly walk in circles cause I can't remember what way I went / came from earlier xD

If you go to the Zephyr building at the beginning and pick up the ZPC you can enable a little GPS map on the right pane. You'll still have to key in (or click) the directions, but it's still a pretty handy guide.
Thanks for the tip it feels like night and day having the ZPC and not having it, only problem with it is that it seems that once your in an area that has pictures attached to it the ZPC dissapears everytime you enter such an area so you have to keep turning it on and off if you want it to display at all time. I also have to say the game overall seems kind of weird since I have no idea what most of the stuff I do have for impact.
Tried to look at the wiki but it seems mostly focused around the multiplayer part and not so much the single player and with the wiki saying that the fun part is to explore and find stuff.
For instance the first area I got to was the Urban forest then I got offered to join the kobolds and I was like sure why not?
Turned into a Kobold and then shortly after I got told to pick one of 8 classes, each of which had special introductions on what the classes does but once I picked one nothing seemed to have changed far as I could tell, tried lvling up some but that didn't seem to do much outside of giving me an extra stat point and some bonus hp after lvling up some.
To some degree I am guessing that this is unfinished content at the moment but it does feel weird to have the game tell me your now XXXX class lvl 1 to lvl up you need to finish missions. Then nothing seems to happen and I can't find any changes about this in game far as I could tell. But I did look up the gildwing kobold event on github cause I got curious and far as I can tell this is it but it feels weird I have to check the whole event out in github to even learn more about this...

Yeah, this game unfortunately has a bunch of incomplete content scattered around the world. There are a ton of different writers and I imagine there's a bunch of half-baked content in there by people who either lost interest or didn't have time to finish it.
Another thing that doesn't help is that it's based on the classic interactive fiction model, so most of the game's UI is straight out of the 80s with little bits of quality of life (images, hyperlinks…) sprinkled in. The system they're using (Inform 7) also wasn't intended for a project of this size, so building the game is an extremely slow and error prone process. That probably slowed down or dissuaded some contributors as well. They're in the process of switching over to a new engine, but I imagine that's going to take a while.
For what it's worth, there is still a ton of content on offer here. It's a shame one of your first experiences with the game was running into a dead end. :/
It's a shame the wiki fell off like it did. It's pretty useful for some of the somewhat older content (from maybe 2-3 years ago and older) but even the multiplayer pages aren't seeing much in the way of updates lately.
