I feel this is an important post to share from patreon, and I am sorry to Glenxyet if they really didn't want this here. And thank you for the effort you put in to the media we enjoy.

One of these episodes absolutely has to be named Shitstorm. I mean, come on, it's so obvious. :poop:

I believe I always delivered what I said.
That's good GleenXstudio but remember, that assholes exists and at the moment you got a delay they will said a lot of shit but still will wait for the next update... That remembers me of an advice from old wise programmers from old school... Never give a estimated date of your work, specially if it will be added as part of production, it's better to come with something like until it's secure or you still are debugging than give a date, , i know it's a game, but as programmers there can be found weird bugs if a software isn't tested in all possibilities, release what you can, what you think it's done, but don't give dates, that's what administrators does and thirds pay the price...

Sure, I quite agree with that in general but I usually prefer to set up a schedule and that's mostly for me. I work better like that otherwise it's an open route to lazyness.
The dates I give are always estimates with enough margin to not be worried about being too far behind schedule, and if one or two more weeks are needed, I take them and I don't think anyone will realize nor mind it too much as long as it is reasonable.
Thankfully the code of my games is not complicated enough to have bugs that take months to solve. At worst, it takes 1 hour to solve. But yeah shit can happen like having the hardware crash or get corrupted resulting in the loss of all my files... (But I made some copies in different places so even that should not be a big drawback).
If one day I come up with the excuse that I have an unsolvable bug in the RenPy code, I think you can safely call it bullshit :p

my game stops at v0.2.5, thats supposed to happen right?
No? Since this is 0.3.1, your game should have all of the events for week 3 available as long as you've met in-game prerequisites (certain prior events finished, sometimes a specific clan chosen, etc.). With v0.2.5, some of the events weren't finished yet (like Yrsa's final event).
Yes if you're using the outdated wt-mod, not if you're playing the game without it.
Ah, right. Yeah, what Dylan said if you're using the WT Mod.

Maybe I was too cryptic in my response, should have been more clear. ^^''''

Nah, I just almost never use mods, so I always forget that there could be a difference there. I'll use patches sometimes (like an incest patch if the game clearly intends that), but practically never mods. I might have used 2 mods the entire time I've been on this site.

Oh, ok I wasn't sure about the clarity of my post, and yeah unless it's absolutely necessary I prefer to not use them as well, it's more fun try to get the best answers or endings without. :)

It is 99% likely that you are using a version with an outdated mod or that you tweaked the values of the mod without understanding how the game mechanics work.
Especially for SnowStorm, I recommend to use the modless versions and if you need help, you can follow the PDF guides, it's probably the safest way to progress. ;)

BTW, Here is the last version of the PDF guide : v0.3
View attachment SnowStorm Guidelines v030.pdf ;)

Do you have to play Sandstorm before this, or can i go without?
I’ve just played way too many desert oriented games.

You don't have to even though you have the same MC in both games. In fact, it will probably be more confusing if you do because MC has quantum leap-style swiss cheese brain amnesia where he remembers his old Latin classes but not who he is or how he got to Norway.

Not sure how playing the first game would make this one confusing. I didn't have any problem following things after finishing the previous game and playing through this one. The MC's confusion shouldn't affect a player's understanding of what's going on.
