Oops; that's a new one, I'll pass it on to our dev so it can be addressed with the bugs from our last internal build. Thanks for spotting it!
HTML Invasive Species 2: The Hive [v0.2.8.1] [ArmyofRobots]
- Thread starter armyofrobots
- Start date
We're definitely trying; as was mentioned we unfortunately lost one of our devs right before some major work and it has taken *FAR* longer than planned to get this next update done.
Slow work this weekend; apparently it's a holiday weekend. People spending time with their families or something. Not very hive-friendly, if you ask me.
There is probably a better way to achieve it, but we have timer variables for repeatable events. Every time the event is triggered, there's a random 1-7 days set before the event can trigger again (this will likely change in the future, but it's easier for testing now). The problem is that every time we add a new variable, it makes old saves break. We got around this for other things with instantiated objects for NPCs and the player so updates to them wouldn't cause the null error that screws up old saves, but this one we don't have a good work around for. We also don't know how many more of them we'll need, so putting them in ahead of time is not necessarily helpful.
TL;DR - Old saves are definitely borked with the new version we are testing and there's really no good way to fix it.

Broken saves are not that bad, also do you perhaps have a concrete date set for release or are there still to many problems?
We've thrown out dates here before and then been completely wrong when things blew up. We're close, but I'm gun shy on giving you an exact date from the team (plus they'll have my head if I commit us to another date). There's some gaps being filled and I think we fixed the main problem with the player profile by dumbing down the one combat event for now (in the interest of getting this out the door).
There are going to be some spots that are dead ends or unavailable decisions for the moment; again with the interest of just getting a playable 0.2.7 out to everyone and we can worry about filling in the gaps for 0.2.7.1
Since we're in a bit of a grey area on our release, here is the updated list of characters and models:

Yuna - Yui Hatano
April - Nathaly Cherie
Natalie - Aubrey Star
Aika - Aino Kishi
Dani - Alyssa Hart
Jenny - Marica Hase
Becka - Princess Angel
Olivia - Anya Ivy
Tiffany - Zaya Cassidy
Maya - Cece Capella
Random1 - Erika
Random3 - Lucy
Random4 - Suki
Random5 - Haley Reed
Random6 - Anri Hoshizaki
Random7 - Rosanna

Content for one of the random events needs updating, there's a new event submitted by Lost_AI which needs some editing, and the boss fight we've been building towards, which is broken.
This is our remaining "to do" of things that aren't to our liking before we do a release. Does that mean a release tomorrow? It depends where the team gets with things, but probably not tomorrow, but soon.

Remaining issues ahead of release:
- Fight code still fails to register when either the player or npc has been killed.
- Found a scene that had been coded and images added, but no text (oops); needs to be written before release
- Still some wonky behavior around player stats updating correctly when armed.
All other issues have been resolved; so the list of game stoppers is narrowed to the above. There's light at the end of the tunnel and we don't think it's a train (probably)

Since we're down to the non-working fight code, we're just giving you a button to skip it to move ahead with getting the new build delivered. We are now in testing (internally) and hope to have a public release as soon as this week.
We keep finding bug, but we're squashing them as fast as we can. We also had to rewrite part of the Kim cave arc because we contradicted something in lore (oops); we're aiming for a Friday or Saturday release with a patch to follow on no more than 2 weeks later for fixes as we expect an update this big to have bugs that slip past our QA.
Yeah; we're trying to do it right, been a very buggy experience or realizing a passage is missing, etc. We're nearly there though!
0.2.7
Content
- Refactor of player variables into a single unified class and replacement of all references and modifiers to fit this new design. This ended up being a significantly larger task than expected, but will make future changes significantly easier
- Added an indicator to the three starting girls to keep you from wasting a click when they cannot be bred more times in a given day
- Added new random encounter for Arch Street
- Added a new option for capturing Olivia
- New day start menu to help better see and experience events
- Piper Fawn images swapped for Alyssa Hart images as we were having trouble finding content for Piper
- New random encounters for the apartment complex
- New random encounter on Duvall Street
- New Midori Content (Thanks Lost_AI!)
- New girl to meet (though not yet capture) Tiffany
- Additional images for milking all captives
Bug fix
- Found a bug that would allow you to still capture some girls even if your captive capacity was maxed out
- Fixed a number of typos and misspellings
- Fixed a mistake that failed to read the player's name in a piece of dialogue
- Edited descriptive text for the morning to reflect the change in how that is handled
- Fixed issue where some girl data screens wouldn't let you return to game properly (Thanks Snakemann!)
- Fixed bug that would allow milk amount generated per day to exceed storage indefinitely
Known Issue:
- Using the cheat menu and never buying from the hardware store will cause certain events to not fire
- There's a line of dialogue that presumes you have Monique before Yuna is missing; this will be fixed by a conditional check in a later release
- New Kitchen event is not firing
- Menu UI for energy/health bars is not updating correctly
- Kim, Dani, and Yuna aren't "available" after the conclusion of the story arc; this will be amended in a future update

Gonna give it a try, but glad to see the community helping posting the bugs
when opening html version is listed as 0.2.6.1, is this a mistake or are these files mixed up?
also doesn't appear to be load old saves, minor issue but worth pointing out at least
As the game gets bigger, it gets harder and harder for our team to test; so the community's help is much appreciated!Gonna give it a try, but glad to see the community helping posting the bugs
