The analysis link is broken btw, but I know Ron has been doing a lot of work to improve the game's optimization and to allow for things like Live2D which afaik is not typical at all for a ren'py game like ones you'd find around here, likely contributing to all these false positives.

There haven't been any reports about issues during the testing phase or from people who got early access.

I hope Jubilee gets added.

As far as I can understand the wardrobe has also been updated with an edit function.

Still, the possibility to change an existing outfit is limited as (so far as I can see) you can only edit an existing outfit by changing the name, the context of the outfit (Public, Date etc.) or the colour of the types for an easier visual difference between the different outfits in the queue on the dark grey background, but is it planned to make it possible to edit an outfit also by changing the clothes while keeping the name and the pre-set of the outfit (Private, Date, the colour of the saved preset) itself? At Onis game you can not give an outfit a specific name, but it is more easier to play with different parts of an outfit in an existing custom type and save under the old name of this used/edited custom type (while also still being able to type in a new name).

The camera is also moving automatically to the body part where the changes are taking place (Accessoires, Hair, Upper, Lower). While for the details the camera getting closer is fine, I would like to ask if it would be possible to also change (and keep) a complete view of the girl while playing with different outfits, because not only once I realised that an idea (e.g. bikini top at Rogue with black jeans) does look good in the partially close up (and in my head), but not as good in the complete view.

I get an "exception has occurred" error when attempting to hookup with any of the girls in 0.3c. Save files were from 0.3a originally.

The dev already said the workable save is from 3b

Y'know, I've been getting virus false positives on every single game I find on F95 - with the sole exception of Mega links - for a couple weeks now. I wonder what's going on.

 

[Epigonid]

I downloaded the game via patreon, and even though I have the window alert, I authorized the "malicious" files. I hope it's really a false positive, otherwise I'll send the repair bill to the developer.

You can report it on Discord bug section and with your patreon receipt and membership proof, i think the dev will respond faster there because you're patreon member. Thank for supporting the game

 

[accaria]

Have you tried the hot fixes?

I'm probably really dumb for asking this, but how do you "install" these hot fixes? Where do I place the files?

 

[CptValor]

i even went so far as to try to download the game from another less reputable site (one of those that asks to you to solve a captcha and takes like 2 hours to download). well i did so and still got the virus alert to ping on the copy from that site as well. so its not the site that the file is being hosted from. theres something in the files that windows defender doesnt like on some machines! ive exhausted the extent of my knowledge on how to figure out whats up! im sure the dev didnt pack a virus in his game and im also sure that the files are the same no matter what site the game is downloaded from so somewhere in-between theres something setting off windows defender on some peoples machines. anyway, its looking like a "false positive" but i dont have any more knowledge of what to do here so someone with more technical knowledge can dig further into it if they want.

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

So I see the two usual sets of complaints and "suggestions" again so I'll give the same two responses.

1. The game is indeed unfinished. It is in EARLY BETA and we are still adding content. If you go into this expecting a complete game, then you're going to be disappointed.

2. We are not Rogue-Like Evolution with better graphics. If you expect the game to play like it is, then you're going to be disappointed. In fact, I'm going to poke Ron to remove the trainer tag as we will NOT be adding RLE's corruption and addiction mechanics. Ever.

 

[JoePlant]

Could still be totally safe but it definitely does some things that are out of character in regards to similiar games. Best of luck to everyone!

This is what I'm wondering. That it is both infected and not infected.

1. I've got infection warnings from some DL sites but then for the "same" file, not others.
2. These sites are NOT singular machines. There are multiple machines that via the front end look like a singular one.
3. Due to this parallel hidden natures, it makes perfect sense to me that some people ARE getting infected and others are not.

We'd have to run a hash on the file in question to see if the value matches as a check. This would be the best way for determination.

edit:
SHA256 per 7zip.

But you know when the game is finished; if someone hypothetically had the determination and know how, there could always be a mod that implements said mechanics... maybe not the addiction, ok it could be a toggle... I mean, um... whoever decides to possibly mod this game should think about a toggle

Ron is doing his best to make the game as modder friendly as possible. While we wouldn't officially add that mechanic, you're welcome to mod it

 

[Maddeninggg]

This is what I'm wondering. That it is both infected and not infected.

We're fairly sure the issue isn't that the game actually has malware, or that different hosting sites are infecting it. The issue seems to stem from the fact that all the optimizations and changes Ron made to get Live2D to work make it more likely to get false positives.

I've uploaded a new version, 0.3c1, which has all hotfixes built-in. really appreciate everyone's bug reports, they're super helpful!

good call on including the SHA256 with the release, I'll do this from now on so you can at the very least feel safe that your version has not been modified since I built it

What season are you in? Or more accurately, have you done the Juggernaut event yet?

 

[King_In_Yellow]

Hello everyone Ron releases a new version at 0.3c1
purely bug fixes and don't require anything special other than extracting and running.
and explains the possible reason why many of you are receiving a false positive AV report when trying to launch the game

Patreon reward - supporters who pay a certain tier for at least 2 months get to have a silhouette added to the game. I think it might be based on their discord pfp.
