Keep in mind that the menu is no longer opened with Esc, now you have to press M instead.
What do you mean, you can't attack? Describe what do you do, and if you use Wait or actually wait irl for something to happen and the game "freezes".
Ok I was playing and I think I get what he means. When maeve locks her/traps her in the scenes that trigger during fights, we can't do anything but select wait which soft locks the game and we have to reload it. Talking only from experience about the first time we fight maeve.
Well, in Mistresses of the Forest pressing left Ctrl would toggle text boxes on and off, maybe this game works the same way.
Strange, Can't you use Struggle? Sorry about these questions, I'm sticking on with v0.3.1 until there's an update which adds enough content to make a near 1GB download worth its while.
I had the same issue, the only option that I could choose was 'Wait', but after waiting Maeve doesn't do anything, so I was softlocked. The only way to pass the fight is to dodge her trap attacks.
Hmm, I guess then that it has something to do with the Surrender fix Lina did on the last update. When I have enough time I'll download current version and check that issue out (to see if there's a way players can get around the softlock), then check how Surrender works now.
update: after the first fight, struggle becomes available. Either that or with getting the submit ability. Either way, the major issue is that for all the fights, unless we surrender, those mid-fight scenes do not progress at all. No health is damaged and no tp is gained for the turns we are locked in the scene either. So, we just struggle until we succeed. Failure in struggling doesn't do anything.
If that's the case then the issue is that it still only looks like one attack rather than three, with raw damage being the only visual difference.
Maybe this is wanted, you can only surrender in the first stages until you get struggle unlocked?
But you also learn Surrender after the 1st battle during which the softlock happens. During the 1st battle you can only Wait, but Maeve's trap attack freezes and she does nothing during her turns, so without Surrender or Struggle (that you can't have before the 1st fight) if she traps you you can't progress at all. And later when you have Struggle her attack still freezes and she doesn't deal any damage nor her attack contines with its next stages, you just struggle without any punishment for failures until you succeed.
That still doesn't solve the main problem that soft-locks the game.. If we do nothinf/fail to get out of her hold, the scene is supposed to progress and if that happens a certain number of times continuously, the fight is lost. That's what happened in earlier versions and that's what makes sense too. Instead if we fail to escape, nothing happens. We just keep trying until we escape. No extra penalty or damage. No extra tp gained. The only way to view the mid-battle scenes now is to surrender and pick those. It's definitely a bug.
Still deliberating on how complex different routes with different Mistresses will be. Learned a lesson with not going overboard the last update, and Gladia 2 can always be made later, with a fresh perspective from what's positive and negative about this one.
Cool! Hey, I've got a question: when I finished version 0.3.1 I answered the last question "Yes", then after the "credits" I fought her again and answered "No" (definitely like the "No" scene, heh heh), The game saves the last thing the player answers in every question, or the first? I don't mind replaying the game given the latter case (though seeing Edela as a black rectangle most of the time annoys me a little, but it may be just my phone and besides I don't like her much, so it's not a big deal), but I wanted to know anyway.
Now after I've successfully dodged Maeve's attack I couldn't attack her cause the game thought I didn't dodge her (despite the info that I did and her returning to standing position) so I had to struggle to continue the fight, fortunately failing to break free is without penalties. It's even better to fail many times as failing regenerated TP and HP plus during this false grab sequence I can use health potion without Maeve attacking me afterwards.
Fixed it. Tester was testing it and had added the bound state to the start of Maeve's pounce without realizing.
