What AI generator do you use
Stable Diffusion on ForgeUI. The model will depend on the picture. Version 0.1 and most of 0.15 were made on a ten year old (checks calendar year, jfc) 13 year old computer, so due to graphics card constraints most images of people were made with an SD1.5 model (usually Mistoon Saphire v20, made by Inzaniak on Civitai) then touched up by hitting it with ModelEX_v60 (I think the author, Nico53425342 on Civitai, replaced it with v70 on civitai). Backgrounds and objects were usually the SD1.5 Arthemy Comics, now ArthemyComicsXL after the computer upgrade. Then a lot of editing with gimp, then throwing it back into the img2img, things like that. I'm still using SD1.5 Mistoon Saphire even after the computer upgrade though, its where the unique (for AI images, at least) faces come from.

first thing i am glad youre doing ok, quite a few people were worried. Second thing, I would say you shouldnt be embarrassed about taking more time, its difficult and new. It would help quell the doubters to keep in touch though.

Separate thing, does anyone else have trouble downloading from mega? it never seems to load for me. I'll check back later to see if there is a fix or something.

I'd suggest pixai.art if you're looking to improve on models- not only does it have all the standard models but it has user submitted ones as well- and some do things better than others- Haruka v2 as a model is very good for r18 and stays on model if you use a base.. You can also train the model with free points- with a LoRA- this lets you set it up for specific styles and specific actions- for instance there are some usermade ones that would make Haruka v2 excel at open-door NTR scenes- or a specific artist style(I know it's in bad taste but many are simply trained by uploading dozens of the same artist-but the outcome is actually impressive).. Main thing is that it's free- you can create as many accounts as you need- no email verification is required but you get a discount on generations if you do link it- you can also activate some bonus claims(like watching a video- following on discord etc- though you dont actually have to.. just have to click the link) which gives enough to create the LoRA when normally you'd have to wait 2 days of daily points to get enough. LoRA aside though- I think you shouldn't need it and just be fine with a base image on most of the models provided. It does really well and i'm just surprised none of these AI games ever bother to use it(I can tell from the style they're not made with those models)

But also probably save it for a future game or select scenes since you're already going with a style you found. Just worth looking into. Also welcome back- we thought you might have abandoned the game or spontaneously combusted.

The file sizes are different for Gofile vs Mega?

*edit* - to clarify, I'm not suspecting foul play, just curious if a different version got accidentally uploaded or something or if it's an idiosyncrasy with the sites.

I've downloaded both and both are the same size when downloaded must just be a visual thing for mega.

Double checked this, since I only put the mega link up. The gofile size ends up being the same size as my original copy of v0.15 once everything is extracted.

Are the scenes in the last two images in the game yet? Also i tried few times but can't find the ghost in the 2° hunt, is there just a bad ending for now?

They're both in the game.

Try equipping everybody with dowsing rods and positioning them so every empty room has a dowsing rod equipped ghost hunter adjacent to it. The adjacency counts for different floors too - so someone on the second floor will also cover the room below them.

Or something could be bugged. Try a new save if you're using one from version 0.1.

I just got the second to last image. I think you have to have a bit of a relationship with Noms. The last pic is probably at the same time but when you build your relationship to queeny instead. I think. Based on what she wears and the way she puts her butt apparently right in front of your face. :D
First ghost I couldn't find. I thought I had narrowed it down to one of two and just saved and loaded when it was wrong but the other one was wrong too! But the second hunt I apparently "finally" understood what is what and how to do things and I managed to successfully identify the ghost. Then after that I saw Noms in the bikini.
So first hunt: Failed
Second hunt: Success
Result: Idk. Getting NTRd but not so much?

Regarding Toth: I thought you found too many bugs in your playthroughs and just gave up. Sometimes you fix one bug, play test again, now there is a new bug, fix it, then the first bug reappears for whatever reason.. :D

So if you fail the hunt, it's NTR? And if you succeed, it's not? Unless you kind of push the girls to doing so in the haunted houses?

I like games where NTR is a threat but you can avoid it by playing your cards right, so the game sounds up my alley.
Tried it game a bit, was kinda fun but I think I need to go over the tutorial again lol, guessing the right ghost is hard!

Also mr Dev are you planning on adding animations? I know some scenes are "semi-animated".

Yep! And my hope is to balance things so it won't require 'pushing' the girls towards something, it'll just happen naturally if the player isn't carefully balancing all of the other ghost hunting mechanics properly.

I'm also going to continue iterating on the tutorial. I think the ghost hunting mechanics are fun once you understand how the trait system works - it's just kind of hard to present it in ways which provides that intuition to the full spectrum of players.

No definite plans. I'll play around with AI animation eventually, since I think the camera scenes would be better animated. I don't think I'll try my hand at any more amateur semi-animation though lol

I like this, but the gameplay seems way over complicated. Most options could be cut so more focus can be on the humans and their interactions. I'd also replace manual navigation with a permanently open map in the corner.
