Gosh, a lot of posts overnight. Thanks to all for the bug reports, and apologies you're having them. I will endeavor to fix. If anyone who hasn't already can share save files just before the error occurs, that would be helpful. If anyone is interested, I have posted in the recruitment forum asking for a playtester hoping to reduce such errors in future builds.
Feebs I always meant to ask. Are we the infamous cousin Throcky? The radical skateboarder found in many math and physics textbooks that must be some ongoing inside joke between editors/publishers.
Correct!
I was getting the same error. Turns out, the code specifically sets the game path to
file://G:Gateway/ if the game file path containes a folder named
temp or
private. Moving the game to a folder with neither temp nor private in its path solved the issue for me.
Maybe the developer can conceive of a better check to enable debug mode
?
Thanks, good catch. Yes, back when I was using the Twine GUI, temp builds would go there, so I used that to deal with it quickly and programmatically. Later I switched to using Tweego & notepad++ so added G:\Gateway explicitly. I'll address for next build.
Is transformation avoidable?
Sex scenes involving transformed characters are avoidable, yes. Deciding not to pursue their substories may lock certain content out, at least in the current version, but the main story can continue. There is, however, one exception,
if you choose to retrieve Kylie when she runs off. She has transformed herself using your power, and to retrieve her, you youngify another character, so she's unrecognizable to Kylie. There is then a lesbian scene. I will add the option to skip this scene in the next version, should it not be the player's thing.
That said, transformation as a whole is important to the story line, so even if you don't indulge in it yourself, you will still be aware of it having happened or happening around you.
For instance later in the story, you discover male travelers aren't just rare, they technically don't exist, any male travelers are transformed from female and can't reproduce. Which leads the MC to yet more questions... but those aren't answered in game yet.
