I don't know if this is a stupid question or not, but can someone explain to me why they just don't ship the imagepack installed with the game already? like, isn't it easier to do this instead of downloading it separately? (I know that now you can download the imagepack from game menu, but it's basically the same thing and of course with it's own issues)

Just a genuine question that I have, is this a game size issue, a piracy issue or just something to make the backers version worthwhile? :unsure:

Bandwidth/data saving, most likely. Once you download the imagepack once, you only have to download the new images. Shipping the full imagepack with each build would add like a gig of images to the download. If you already have the images, that's extra bandwidth for each user that pulls the download from their server, and on the user-side it means extra data to download, which can be a problem for those with slow connections or data caps. Plus, doing it this way means those who do have slow connections or just don't care can use the regular, low-res images rather than the imagepack images.

That's makes sense, another question that I have, does the imagepack add anything to the game other than the better quality images or also add content? I've been following this game for a looong time but I never knew if the imagepack adds anything new to game or you can just play without it. (because to me the imagepack seems kinda of useless if that's all it is)

It does not add any content, it's purely just higher resolution images of the game images. There is a noticeable increase in quality, the defaults are pretty obviously blurry/low-res, but that's all

Hmn... so i decided to find some online text to image "
You must be registered to see the links
" and copy pasted error text into the textbox for it to make an output image. The winner is:

Didn't expect that to be a bug. But it is... lol, probably AI catched the "bug" word.

Edit: ah yes... the less interesting text on which base it has been made of is:

is it just me or have the majority of the crashes/bugs seem to have appeared after the html conversion? tho its probably because they were relying on the actionscript compiler to fix thier errors but js has no such tool so now we get to see the bugs first hand.

It's definitely not just you. I can recall some bugs from the old days, but never these catastrophic errors that would require you to exit and restart the game. Like you said, maybe it was always this bad but the lack of verbose error output and an engine that tolerates errors more hid things. Even then, encounters not working, flags not getting set, softlocks, and items straight up crashing the game are not things I remember happening.

i would think that SOMEONE on their team would have learned even a tiny bit about programming in doing development work for many years, but i guess that is just too much to ask. hell, even aside from that, you're working on a project that gets this much money and don't even launch the game before pushing out a large change.

they have no systems in place to manage anything, are observably grossly incompetent, and just sit around to rake in money giving extremely tiny updates to a game that is text-based with some images tacked on.

very disappointing overall

Well, checking on " Game Version: 0.9.061-PUBLIC-ELECTRON#3553 " which seems to have a lot of fixes: for example mimbranes work ok, and walking on Zheng Shi doesn't error the game freakin out.

But, we have more to go:

1. Using "HL Strapon" on Sophora - crashes the game now

2. Walking around Zheng Shi soft-locks interface while AutoSave is turned ON. This however doesn't happen when it's turned OFF. Nope - happens when it's OFF also... ;/

guys is there a way to reset Myrellion before explode? i thought i did the mission to stop the bomb..

Load an older save. If you don't have one, start a new character. Don't want to do that, save editing is your friend, but you could easily break your game as well. Those are the only options if you want an unbombed Myrellion.

i have three questions.

First: do the android version of the game have an image pack?

Second: if so. is the android image pack the same as the pc version?

Third: if i install the android version and then download the image pack on my phone, and then transfer that to my pc. will the pc version of the game use the image pack downloaded from my phone?

i love this game, but i cant download the imagepack, no matter what i do it always getts stuck at 10. a post in this thread said that delating the ImagePack folder could fix that, but it didn't, at least not for me.
