Always happy to support!
Here are some bugs that may have been mentioned already so you don't have to worry too much in the future.
Using the default names for characters to prevent confusion.
Current content thoroughly tested, apologies for taking so long.
Locks/freezes
- The marriage route will cause an endless message loop instead of just mentioning once that this is the end of the route at the moment (technically "gamebreaking", but a message loop with pauses doesn't exactly cause much harm to devices)
- The slave route, similarly, will loop the savefile and message process (this one is more concerning if the player doesn't immediately realize the blunder and overwrites all of their saves before force-shutting the game, though technology 101 teaches you that backups are love and backups are life)
Gameplay and scene processing
- Currently possible to have Puella go to bed *even* if some critical events have not yet been done, leading to possible gamebreaking situations. Random suggestion here but maybe a prompt to ask the player if they want to end the day just in case they forgot to save their progress.
- The transition to Lord Vicolo's arrival will trigger from any (single) action with Elfina, not just training (talk, teach, work)
- Arldrom's execution (Elfina's father) does not properly show the Elven King sprite as there is no trigger check for this (only for the exile choice), so Arldrom will not actually show up and EV014 will be blank (from Erthur's return)
Interactions with Elfina
- Training prevents Puella from further interacting with Elfina regardless of her status, so players should keep in mind other actions should be prioritized for optimal use of energy (especially work)
- Study options, except for the first one (University), are forced upon Puella as long as the player has enough gold (there is no Send/Cancel prompt)
- Currently possible to break the 100 "cap" for stats (not exactly a bug, but looks a bit weird in the diary)
Minor stuff
- Completely destroying Elfina's sanity (zero MP) apparently has no effect at the moment (quite likely intentional)
- The consequences of the orc war correctly affect the core stats but do not display the stat down message (as well as a "Time to attend court" prompt from Puella without any court session)
- This one only is intended to make Noxurtica smile, really, but reusing Orca's default name instead of Nanya will cause an obvious funny response from Puella
Thank you again for your hard work and dedication to your projects
edit: Added some more bugs. Please let me know if you want me to make a new post instead but I'd rather not doublepost unless it has been a long time. Posting netiquette (and forum rules).
Some minor suggestions that shouldn't be too hard to implement using the current code. Except for consecutive forced choices, this is not really a major thing.
- Day count and/or days until next session (this can be used by the player if they forget to save regularly on "longer breaks", which usually are 5 days long but not always the case)
- Getting the stewardess to hold the forced court sessions and summons so the player can prepare for them (especially consecutive ones that all involve multiple choices, so more savefiles can be created as needed)
