Thanks. That bug is fixed in v0.8.02. I'm not sure why that bug wasn't causing null strings all over the game. Sometimes I don't understand how my own engine works.
And there is not always time to get to the bottom of it.
The current implementation of the mediaplayer (used for playing videos) doesn't work well when clicking continue too fast. Ideally, the videos should have time to start before clicking continue. Otherwise, sooner or later you risk ending up with slow or choppy playback. Quitting the game and restarting is the solution.
This bug is caused by game speed being set to faster than normal. Will be fixed in v0.9. Meanwhile, anyone stuck with relationship 1 or 2 with Julia, can change the game speed to normal and then replay the red evening event until you raise her relationship to 3. Then play the new green morning event and you should end up with relationship 4 with 100% completed.
I'm not uploading 3 GB to patch the game. My patcher is 52,8 KB. Last patch was 500MB. That is 500MB content minus 52,8 KB.GRasputin: Nice game. Regarding your Java project itself, it would be better to create separate library.
For example:
- Project #1 : All medias from the begining to 8.0.2
- Project #2 : All medias concerning update from 8.0.2 until X.Y.Z
- Project #MAIN : Your code
That way, you don't have to upload 3Gb each time you want to patch your game.
How to proceed? Build your project #1 and #2 as archives. On build path of your project #MAIN, add archive from Project #1 and #2.
That way, you could patch with a 1 megabyte program
There have been times where it happens when I've clicked into the start of a scene, before any rapid clicking has taken place. At least once that was right after I started the game and loaded a save. The kitchen scenes with Jane seem the be the worst offenders for me. But, restarting the game generally works.
That kind of makes sense. The early scenes in the kitchen with the landlady have some of the largest video files in the game, in megabytes. I made a big reduction in size on the biggest ones for v0.8 without losing quality because I used way too high quality setting on them when I made them. These were the first videos I made so I didn't care about size.
Sure, I've seen them, but required user to type some command that could cause some trouble if they're used of Console. Also, in term of disk usage you download the patch, you extract the archive, you extract the JAR, then you push the extracted content inside the main JAR. If you don't delete each time you got 500mb + 500mb + 500mb + 500mb of traffic.I'm not uploading 3 GB to patch the game. My patcher is 52,8 KB. Last patch was 500MB.

The patcher is made for Windows and Windows users just run the bat file. No commands. And running the patcher this way deletes all temporary files. In the readme file I supply the commands used by the patcher in case someone not running Windows wants to patch it themselves.Sure, I've seen them, but required user to type some command that could cause some trouble if they're used of Console.

Make sure there are no other green events (like visiting Dr Angela during Midday). If you still are stuck, send me the save file and I'll take a look.
Hey, that tool is super useful, thanks so much! Quick question, I don't know how java games work mechanically, but is there any way to use that tool to have an option to enable audio for the videos that play? I know that's not part of the dev's intended design, but for many of them I'd love to be able to have the option.
