Isn't this game pretty old? It seems I just finished all the content ( I'm at the competition with sis and I can't progress anymore ) in like an hour. Why it has so little content even tho it's in development for a long time? There are only handfull of scenes in it. Am I missing some content? The game is pretty straight forward so I don't think I've missed anything. Don't get me wrong the game is amazing. I love the quality of the scenes and designs of the characters. Especially the facial expressions are top tier. Just surprised how short it was...

There's atually a couple or so reasons for that.

I don't actively develop the game, I work on it only on my free time, which can be pretty scarce some days. Most of the time I have to juggle development time with my "real life" job, spending time with the wife and doing stuff around the house.

Back in 2019, I remade the game from scratch, everything was remade, scenes, imagery, characters, code, pretty much the only thing that didn't change was the story. That took me a lot more time than I thought it would. This has been both a blessing and a curse.

Blessing in that I learned so much stuff regarding programming and scene composition and it helped me grow a lot as a dev and artist.

And a curse in that it set me back a full year in development.

Also, there's the fact that I'm a perfectionist and most of the time I don't set for the "good enough" quality. I know it sounds like I'm busting my balls, but it is what it is. Perfectionism can be a pain in the neck due to the vicious cycle it creates, leading to anxiety episodes and even depression.

It kinda goes like this:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

This has actually been a pretty common topic during therapy for me, lmao.

Anyway, I don't want to sound like I'm creating excuses, I just felt like those are the main factors that contribute to what you pointed out.

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I can understand why that is now. Also the game really shows your perfectionism since the game is perfect so far in my opinion <3. I only wanted to know about the content situation and now I know. I will certainly follow this game. Good luck with the game!

Don't worry Lykanz, I perfectly understand that with everything going on in the world atm, and with your personal life, that it's very importa... Oh.... Oh what is this? I suddenly got some links for something... Um it says:

PC Version: Mega

Mac Version: Mega

Android Version: Mega

Oh boy, and what is this? A small file that makes something happens with said links? I hear wincest? What is that? Oh that's something that Lykanz is totally NOT involved with, probably made by some pesky modder. How dare they!
Where do we put the patch stuff?

The Inn [v0.05.11] [Lykanz] - Original Size: 1.69GB

Compressed version for PC (680MB): MEGA -
done by UnRen v0.8 (Sam@F95zone) & Cruncher v0.4.1 (bas@F95zone)

This compression is unofficial. Compressing process reduces image/audio/video quality and can break the game, be aware of that.
We'll need an update for the latest crunched version, bruh.

It isn't. You can find a stable build on my patreon front page, at the "About" section, just click "Show More".

this part is bug on android?
The star on the corridor is a bug. The one in the atrium isn't. This only means you reached the end of the current content.

Do you have an estimate as to when the next stable version will be available to the public? I saw you posted March 1 for Patreons.

So. I felt I would give a running evaluation of the game as I play it. Goods and Bads, if you will.

1. A cute girl with FRECKLES???? Gold star there, my friend.

2. What the hell is up with the MCs little finger wile he drinks? Is he English and it's the 1800s or something?

3. I love looking at hot girls just as much (if not more) than the next guy, but the camera pans are getting a little ridiculous. If you still want to keep them, may I suggest slowing them down just a tad?

4. Love the way you put M.I.L.F. on the side of her coffee cup......

5. "Super Smash My Bro"????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Sounds like a bad 80s porn....

6. Aaaaaand the in-game cat just freaked out my IRL cat......

7. Love the knock on PS

8. Love all the incomprehensible babbling

9. Major MAJOR Kudos to you, sir, for the epilepsy warning in the movie part with the option to turn it off/on.

As per the results of the last poll, I'll be re-releasing v0.06.4 this month, it will be rebuilt using the last stable verion of Ren'py before 7.4.2 (which would be 7.3.5). The posts will be made later today (March, 1st) and the next Beta that will feature more content will be released only on April's 1st.

i see the effort you put in the game, there are a lot of memes, jokes and references/easter eggs you put in the game that are funny.

Hello everyone, can I ask how to fix this?
I tried to open TheInn.exe and also TheInn-32.exe, but still got the same problem.
But when I tried to download and play The Inn v0.04, I could play it normally.

That has been asked and replied numerous times already, there's even a disclaimar on the first post in this thread saying that v0.06.4 is a faulty update built on a broken Ren'py version. The big fucking disclaimer even says that, if you download it, you'll be wasting your time.

It doesn't work for most people and has already been rebuilt using an older version of Ren'py and made available to patrons.

The one in this thread is the faulty one.
