This is one instance where fandom of the dev's efforts is worldwide and thus, so is the fellowship of caring when one loses someone close to them.
Well done....all of you!

Downloaded v0.15 from the Mega link here and getting a missing sound file error on the main menu. Anyone else getting this error?
Code:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code:
IOError: Couldn't find file 'sounds/button_hover.ogg'.
Apologies. Looks like that is my error. Just not sure why I don't get an exception and no one else has reported it as a problem.
Mega is great but the free users have a download limit, so we like to keep that limit untouched for files where there is no other viable option. With the dektop app Mega lets you continue when the cap is lifted. I've downloaded files that took several days because of the daily limit.

Thanks for confirming it is an error with the game files. I did a quick search of the last few pages to see if it was reported before I posted originally.
I usually play renpy games with renpy.config.developer = True and it seems there is stricter file checking with that enabled. Setting it to False and the error did not pop up.

for future reference, go to your "preference" setting -> search options -> "most recent". Then you can use the search function to get "compressed" post.

No. This setting isn't needed when the lazy dudes learned that "compressed" isn't a proper search string. The admins gave the compressors very strict instructions how to make their postings. It's never been so easy to find what you need. Even when you don't know the linked posting. So every "compressed where?" posting is just spam and I wished those lazy dudes would get banned for annoying users all over the board.

HillsideVN I am sorry to hear about your sister and can totally empathize, within 2 years I lost my Uncle, Brother & bestie to Brain Cancer, My trans niece committed suicide because that is one of the side effects of the anti-rejection drugs from full transition. My Mom had cancer in both lungs and beat it through chemo and was pronounced cancer free but within 2 weeks of that declaration lost the ability to speak because of brain tumors and she was gone 2 weeks later. I am 61, a smoker for 45 years and I feel like I am living on borrowed time... (My Mom looked cute with a pink mohawk @ 70 though 
)
I wish the best for you and your family, yes I love your game and can't wait for the next update but not at your expense...
All you other knuckleheads, stop talking about abandonment, this dev has not gone dark like the milkers usually do, give him some space, the thing that may lead to abandonment is attacks on the guy when at his lowest which may trigger a"fuck you all" response...

well this gets abandoned tag in mid november unless dev releases update before that and that's per F95's rules. w/o on hold tag game would get tagged until next year's november.

Listen, we aren't barbarians to dismiss the feelings of others but when it comes down to the VNs themselves, they usually get abandoned after those first few messages of that type come through. Starts off with a reason, then an excuse followed by radio silence and inevitable abandonment.
You can be equally sympathetic and skeptical at the same time regarding the situation without having to be rude or dismissive. It's just naivety not to approach the matter without thinking about all the other times a project has been canned because of similar scenarios or less.
So all in all, I wish the dev the best but I won't be surprised if this VN gets shelved because after 7 years on this site, one thing I'm not is naïve.

So, this game hasn't been updated for 15 months? How did this dev get the "On-Hold" tag and what does it exactly mean then?

Oh, so the dev has been radio-silent ever since? Can't say I am sad about it, since the game is honestly pretty bad Joshy, though I see you like it.

I wouldn't say this dev is radio silent DB is decent about letting us knowing what is going on and pausing payment alot better than most devs that actually go radio silent. But yeah DB does sometimes go a bit to long without saying anytime from time to time and does come around this thread too. But it's also very understandable with what is going on in DB's personal life.

Then why come to post about it and make assumptions that could be checked off with a few minutes' reading of the thread? We've all got our opinions, and they're all valid, and none of them factual, but coming along and saying things like that make it seem that you're just coming in to gloat at the (possible) misfortune of a game and its dev and players.

wouldn't surprise me he gave this game a 1 star review ( I saw it after my reply to him) so doubt he cares about this game anyways. Which makes it all the more strange why even ask about radio silence since im betting he dropped this game after that review , since it isn't their cup of tea.
