I'm new to this thread so I apologize if this has already been clarified, is the game already finished or still in progress? I ask because it has no sound, music or voices and well it seems strange to me :cautious:

Final chapter is 70-80% complete. Dev hasn't mentioned any plans to add sound or music.

btw, the mac version seems to have a problem. says its broken
Then let's fix it.

Two things might have gone wrong:
  • the app is quarantined by Gatekeeper because it's from an unknown developer (=not from the App store, Apple doesn't like that);
  • the executable inside the app might have lost its execute permission during unzipping
To check quarantine, start Terminal and type "xattr " without the quotes at the prompt and drag the Powervacuum app into the Terminal window. Terminal will fill out the path for you. Mind there is a space between the command and said path. Hit enter. If you see com.apple.quarantine in the results, the app is quarantined.
To remove the quarantine, type "xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine " and drag the app again into the window. Again, mind the space between the command and the path. Hit enter. Quarantine should now be removed.

To check the second case, you need to look into the contents of the app: right click on the Powervacuum app, pick Show package contents. Navigate to /Contents/MacOS/. Inside that folder you'll see a file PowerVacuum_Chapter12_Patreon. That file should be a Unix executable. If it's anything else, it has lost its execute permission.
To fix this, start Terminal and type "chmod a+x " without the quotes at the prompt and drag the file inside the Terminal window. Terminal will fill out the path for you. Again mind there is a space between the command and the path. Hit enter. The file should now be executable.

As a general precaution, make a duplicate of the app first before changing its attributes or permissions. And don't forget to apply the Uncensored Patch.

I'm pretty sure Last Chance votes are done, the Oct 1 Patreon post was called "Last Chance - October Suggestions - FINAL ROUND". That being the case, it seems like the finish line is in sight. I'm guessing the dev is aiming for the end of the year but won't announce a firm date until he's almost done, just in case more time is needed.
wow, i didn't catch that it was the final round. Kevin barely made it in. I might even start to think that late December is possible.

I doubt it will. WWG doesn't do the writing until the renders are done and he hasn't mentioned starting it. He then has to do pick up renders and finally compile the game as well as fixing errors.

The only good trained AI model right now is Brenna. Someone still needs to make Cath and Ophelia. Not to mention the rest of the cast.
