I believe if you're in the recollection room and there's a pigeon, that's the end of the update so far to my knowledge. I just finished to that point as well and since I can't interact with that swirling black mass to leave I'm assuming that's the end of the current version.Just started the .32 version, does it end right after defeating the pigeon and going to the backroom? Because I can't get out of there
That would be a very different game. Personally, I find your ideas interesting, but Fujino has never done sandbox games. So, I guess it will stay as it is. He even got rid of the few free-roam sections we had in part 1.I believe if you're in the recollection room and there's a pigeon, that's the end of the update so far to my knowledge.

I think honestly what I'd really prefer & like to see is some better map expansions and an expansion for more free roam. Like, I don't think it's necessary to lock the player out of the swimming/ gym school area for every day only allowing access to the gym if it's Wednesday -- you'd think that the swim club, basketball clubs would at least be practicing so I'd argue these areas should be opened up. The overworld in general for that matter should be opened up.
If the hint tells me that Asuna is at her house for that matter as another example why the map should be more open to free roam, then I should be able to exit whatever map I happen to be on at that time and be able to visit the rich/ upper class district of the map and scope around.
Regarding to FOG, I should be able to access/ log in & log out at my discresion without it being left for the end of the day to close out the day, I want that to be free roam accessible and the day shouldn't end unless & until I decide that I want it to by interacting with the bed. Interacting with Kirito's bed should give two options, access FOG & Sleep till morning.
I know this game is still in a very early stage & all that jazz but I hope that's what the Dev does in future updates. I have always heavily disliked forced linear story telling restricting access to free roam forcing a focus on the main story. I don't mind it, but, Asuna is not the only character and it's very clear that Asuna is not the only girl being corrupted. So, more attention to some side events would also be nice.

The thing is that most people who followed the game/commented on his sites didn't really care much for the 'free roam' aspect because it was essentially 'filler', it followed a bunch of NPCs/OCs created just so there were H-scenes/NTR available while the main story was progressing, but a lot of people wanted just more of the main story of Fujino decided to do away with all the NPCs and instead focus just on the actual Canon SAO characters in Part 2, which felt a little abrupt.I noticed that as well because I could've sworn there was more free roam in part 1 a few months ago but I guess they got scrapped.
I really need to get over my lack of confidence that I could make a good game. Like, why do tile sets have to be so complicated and look so bad compared to what I envisioned? Part of that is because I haven't done any paralax lighting effects yet but that shouldn't stop the maps tile sets from looking good before adding shaders for a more "rustic" vibe feeling. I'm never satisfied with what I try.
Making these games is difficult so I really respect the amount of work & effort that goes in to creating good maps.
I will tell you that you are right and at the same time you are not:The thing is that most people who followed the game/commented on his sites didn't really care much for the 'free roam' aspect because it was essentially 'filler', it followed a bunch of NPCs/OCs created just so there were H-scenes/NTR available while the main story was progressing, but a lot of people wanted just more of the main story of Fujino decided to do away with all the NPCs and instead focus just on the actual Canon SAO characters in Part 2, which felt a little abrupt.
...the issue is that a lot of people started bitching out MORE than before thanks to his choice, because unlike the easy-to-discard NPC plots that were short and random Fujino actually wanted to make full stories and long plots for the actual SAO characters being used even as 'side-stuff', which slowed down the main story much more than before, which combined with the 'soft-reset' approach he took for the beginning of Part 2 and the serious personal problems he had between the end of Part 1 and the beginning of Part 2 made the game go back and forth for quite a while :O
Just to be sure, did you extract using win rar? I had the same error because I used the default android optionI need help, I downloaded part 2 and can't run the game. I am using Joiplay.
The gallery is at the end of the game in Part 1 and end of each day in Part 2.i already love this game
is there a way to rewatch the scenes or gallery?
so i can only watch gallery after playing to end of part 1?The gallery is at the end of the game in Part 1 and end of each day in Part 2.
I guess thats something only devs and modders can do.how can I save while in cut scene. Upon donwloading the game , I saw a save while the cut scene was playing
No, pretty sure he's talking about the auto-save XD Some of them technically happen 'mid-cutscene' because they happen when there is a 'map change', therefore if a cutscene happens right after a map change or continues after one it's possible some of them seem like they were 'saved mid-cutscene' :OI guess thats something only devs and modders can do.
Honestly sounds like a lot o me QOL updates that might sound nice in the long haul. Definitely not going to work on a project like this that’s on a monthly release basis. As evident by the poll/reactions previously most people just want the main plot to keep moving along and that’s it. I personally don’t see the point in being able to explore/free roam more since it’s just an erotic game. Not like exploring map here is going to get you rare loot/unique quests. Takes up space too in a filled game that might go to part3 just because of how much space the current scenes take. I do agree however, that in cases like we’re told Asuna is at home, then I think maybe there we can go and either peep or just listen in. Now that she’s going to be going home especially after school, there’s a reason so that Kirito actually has a reason to suspect the infidelity going on.I believe if you're in the recollection room and there's a pigeon, that's the end of the update so far to my knowledge.
