Others Honest Bond [v0.06] [Hard Bone Games]

[hardbones]

game crashes after launch
No errors
No messages

as soon i click the exe, the game shuts

Found some potential problem when running the game, I read that when you have a software that overrides a game setting/s the game would not launch, e.g. nvidia control panel graphic setting set to enhance instead of per game basis or something like a audio software that tries to improve a games audio.

Overall, the game is okay, but I encountered some major negative aspects that significantly impacted my experience. One of the biggest drawbacks is the complete absence of a save feature. Without the ability to save my progress, I find myself hesitant to invest time into the game. Additionally, there is no menu to navigate through, which further complicates the experience. The navigation itself is quite frustrating; moving from room to room requires multiple clicks, making it feel tedious and boring.

So far, the only real positive I can highlight are the last few renders of the LONG scene for the second event. The female model looks stunning as she reclines in the bed; her face is not only normal but also quite attractive. The large expanse of her cleavage is appealing as well. However, the core gameplay experience needs significant improvement. The story is different, which is a refreshing aspect, and I believe that overall, this game possesses a lot of potential. With some adjustments, it could truly evolve into something special.

Any other advice? Unfortunately, these instructions aren't specific enough to figure out what's wrong or what setting is causing this. Seems like a number of us want to play the game but can't due to this issue.

Why not go with Ren'Py?

Thank you for trying the game out!

I will add a basic save feature for the next update and will improve it every other update, I'm still working on so many different aspect of the game.

For navigation I'm looking into it, with the 0.05a update I tried to make navigation faster which I was able to without bugs. For the next updates though I will try to implement a feature where you can walk to a room you can see on the navigation view and be able to walk their. I see the frustration now, when I was working on it I failed to realize that.

At first I just made it with Ren'Py style of navigation where it's a rendered background and you press a button to go the next room but this style is not scalable. You can see in the house there are some doors that don't have navigation yet with that style it would be tedious to add more rooms in the house, as for the current navigation I can add as many rooms I want and it's very easy to implement, takes me around a few minutes to do. I will try to improve it as much as I can to make it less frustrating and more exciting. One other planned feature is you have an option to turn on to be able to see events on the navigation panel.

Please Join the discord and post some request or bug fixing, I need it to be there so everything I need to work on is compiled in one place.

Thank you for commenting about the story I'll try to make it as good as possible.

Look for a software in your PC that take over any kind of setting for a game like nvidia control panel and then disable it. I'm looking for ways to fix this for everyone.

I have the same problem,kindly assist.Ty

Why not go with Ren'Py?

I want to have the flexibility of using an engine where I could expand it further in the future, with Ren'Py I could only improve it minimally, with Godot I can also make my own tools to be able to develop faster. Also I haven't used Ren'Py ever so it might take me a few months to get use to it.

I'm also thinking of changing the navigation into a freeroam one(RPGM, 3rd person or first person).

If there's still some problem can you please help me debug, on my end nothing seems to be a problem.

Please do the instruction below:
-Go to the games folder, right click and press open powershell here. If your're using windows 11 go to more options
-Inside the powershell type the first letter of the game and then press tab, if there's a problem please rename both exe and pck file to a filename without spaces.
-before pressing enter add a space and --verbose
-if you see any warning with vulkan involve please update drivers.
- if you see anything else please upload a screenshot.

I feel like this is a vulkan driver problem, please try the openGL version below if it works please let me know.

good game would have been better with renpy

 

[madtwilek]

with Godot I can also make my own tools to be able to develop faster

Hmm, C# fellow then, or may be even C++ brother in arms, huh?
Godspeed, will be watching this thread with great interest; adorable characters and cozy slow burn atmosphere so far.
Also hope you'll manage to avoid some of the most annoying shota/incest game cliches lol.
