Happens when I try to save.
Happened on more than one save.
It looks like it's after doing something in Rozan.

It's after any time you try to do something that is 'Searching...'. I already mentioned this bug and why it happens earlier in this thread. For Python/Ren'Py games developers should not use variable names that are the same as module names (such as time). You can temporarily work around it by renaming the variable until the developer addresses it. (Several locations, see thread for post, forgot where.) Edit: It's two posts above yours... ... ...

I just remembered something and I decided to try it. Basically, I usually use UnRen. I extracted the file to a new folder, I repeated what I did (without UnRen), and I was able to save after Rozan, at least for now.
It looks like UnRen was clashing with the game before the game crashed alone, for reasons I don't know since I'm not a dev.

So, I'd like to ask the dev to include a "log" or something like that to read previous texts. Sometimes the player may misclick, or even prefer to get all the text at once instead of little parts of it (and misclick again), and reloading a whole save just to read what was missed is troublesome, since the game doesn't have the classical "rollback". Such thing would not make the game easier or harder, since it's only a "read the text" in a game without a "act in real time".
Even on combats, UnRen Rollback only takes you back to before the combat (no rollbacks inside the combat). And on choices, the player already can save on the choice and reload it in case they didn't like the outcome (not always a fail, but sometimes a "upgrade x stat instead of y"). But that's going beyond what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is a simple log.

A lot of developers are asses that disable console or they force transition/pauses/fade-texts even with transitions turned off and text speed max, quite hostile to users with accessibility issues or people that simply prefer a specific means of play. Just enable dev console, that allows scroll-rollback, but some developers are assholes and try to clear scrollback, so you'd need to write your own rpy that redefines the function to yours so that when clear is called it does nothing. A lot of my scripts have specific functionality in them for myself, I'd share otherwise. Do a search through all files for anything relating to clearing the scrollback and remove it. If the developer removed the actual rpy/python related to a function you need you can just determine the version of Ren'Py they used and copy over that functionality from a legit copy of Ren'Py. I don't use UnRen, it's a Windows batch script that is more like 'last line of hope for non-skiddie/non-programmer' Windows users. There was no need to use UnRen on this game anyway, it's all right there... As long as the time var is deleted before you attempt to save then it's fine, otherwise the backend in Ren'Py tries to pickle (aka Serialize) it for storage, but a python module (the only scope it has of seeing 'time') can't be serialized unless it provides a means to do so. 'time' does not. As for logs, most developers prefer to hide away information. Does nothing to stop people from finding out though.

So I just started this game very good so far except I can't for the life of me figure out fusing items. No matter what I click on it just unequips the item. Someone tell me what I'm missing please. And to the Dev i like this slow build up makes the story more signifigent thank you. I can relate to MC in this game at least with my "bad days".

Would like to see at least 10x more content and interactions/actions with residents. For now there is little in this game, the overall gameplay feels alright.

is there much to do in the game atm? I haven't played for long but general impression is everything costs crazy amount of essense which I'm not sure I can even keep up with the basic upkeep after a few months, also from the 2nd skirmish onwards I can't win any fights or 1 if lucky

what's the general strategy?

I have the other problem-way too much essense.

What is the music with vocals that plays during combat?

EDIT: found it in the games music files its called "Rick Beck - Celtic Soundtrack", i was searching for Alexander Nakarda's (the only musician credited).

teach me your ways
Have raven scavenge for hemp and essence, also make sure to get the buildings that increase skills as they give bonuses to gathering "per10 skill get 1 extra res", also in the residents tab, use active talents such as "focus" for increasing skill but lowering max and "train" to increase max they cost resources to do so they are more of a mid game thing. For me as a smith i could salvage unneeded things to get by only running out once, but eventually raven has 100+ impish so she gains 20ish essence a turn while im being drained 9 refunded 6 by the nets. The active "focus" skill (unlock it by building house) is key to winning skirmishes ive only lost in a stat 3 times over many skirmishes on extreme mode.

To my understanding fusing is just a "punishment" for exchanging equipment for example if you find a skill check that needs more than you have you can go back and put on a item that increases that skill instead of one that provides armor, but as punishment for a few days you can't un-equip it so you might not have a good combat stats until the fusing ends. in game it says e.g"4" fusing can't be removed until 4 days have past.

It's pretty impressive what you can do with these AI visuals. I think you did a good job of blending it into a coherent experience.
