I'm a bit stuck with regards to Liz's artifacts. I've managed to find all but 2

and for my life I can't find these last two. I've basically finished all quests and stuff related to the Hot Springs, and yet Liz still says to look for it there. Is this a bug?

According to dev note, we need a bit more for new update.

Good story, love the girls, good animation

 

[Stopandder]

What is the problem and how to solve it?

Very different story here. Very good, intriguing. Only thing I was almost towards the end when the game just up and crashed to desktop on me. First time I ever had a AVN do that, worst part was stupid me had not saved for like 40 minutes cuz I was so busy reading the story.

That's some lucky paradox player right there ... it will happen again and again.

On the left side of the page overview for loading screens, before the numbers, you will see "A" and "Q" in RenPy games, for autosaves and quicksaves respectively. There should be an autosave from your last decision, probably way closer to where you were than 40 minutes ago.

Yes I went there this morning, and reloaded the last autosave, but I could not get the event I was in the trigger. I was

So I have a question, that Stawer or maybe MasterWizard1 could answer.

One aspect that I feel this game is falling a little short for me lately are the animations. With so many HS and KK games around, the standard animations, even as polished as the ones in this game are, just aren't cutting it anymore. They lose their appeal after you've seen them so many times. So I've been putting a premium on games that do custom animations, and there is some great work out there. So are custom animations something that's been considered at all, or that's just not a priority right now?

 

[Kugatsu500]

So, after I found Luna, it said that I had unlocked the story for some blonde girl that I don't remember the name right now in my Social Tab. I went there to look, but she wasn't unlocked, since I haven't even met her. I ignored and continued playing the game, but then I went back to Luna's cabin to try and continue her story and it always says that I need to wait a few more days. Is this intended, or did I break something?

 

[PopsicleCart]

im not sure how this started happening but now everytime i try to do something the game freezes for a good 10 seconds. Is there a way to fix this?

My intention is to progressively improve the animations and when I feel more comfortable to revisit the old ones of the game, add sounds, etc...

But at the same time I have this internal conflict about making a “remaster” of the first half of the game, which would put on hold the release of new content (This can take a long time, between problems in saves and other things), or continue releasing new content.

Need to check this, should be a visual bug, but nothing game-breaking.

I like the game thus far, and i do not mind a re-made of first part. I could replay the game again.

I am only one voice but I would advise against a remaster - unless there is something you consider really terrible and blemishing the project. These games are long term projects, and your skill will always move on while you make it, and the technology, both hardware and software, also gets better. You may easily get stuck in a neverending circle, have seen that before.

Also I have the feeling - but cannot prove it - that remastering lends itself to graphics becoming more generic. With all the work of post production in this game the risk may be lower than usual, but there seems to be this tendency to move the sliders ever so little - but all towards the same spot. Which may be dictated by your general preferences or by some kind of trend going on, with changing tastes, however in my very subjective experience, it tends towards looks being more same-ish, losing their uniqueness.

But in the end, this is your game, your project, do what you feel is correct, not what people tell you - because then it will become really messy really quickly

I second your motion kind sir. Dev's that stop mid game to fix things is usually a death knell for a game.

Please remaster later after the game is done and then go back and fix it. I think many over look the start of avn's/games more so for a new dev as the dev is learning the craft.
