Hello all!
It has been a week... So what's up?
Update 19 is done and handed to proofreading and tested. It took a lot longer to render than I liked, but that's how things goes. Especially with special effects being somewhat slow to render, and slow I mean some renders took ten times they normally do. It was a slow day that day.
As for writing, it's in okay shape, a bit more writing then I would like, but it isn't bad. So overall it's going okay. As usual I'll write the weekend and start rendering 0.20.0 on Monday.

So before I ramble about the puzzle thing the final preview of 0.19.0. There is sort of mini-routes in this update. Both are viable, as long as you listen to a person later on. Also you might notice some oddities on Tomas, those are intentional (like the black lines, explained early in the update) and the glowing finger tips. That's him keeping certain amount of magic and spell readily available. And then the logically illogical puzzle.

Oh boy... this is and isn't complicated. It functions, to a point but it has erratic behaviour that shouldn't happen. I think I know where the error is, just due brain being in crunch mode the solution isn't coming to me right now, that and head trauma suffered 20 odd years ago paired with lack of sleep makes certain things a bit more difficult than they should, but I digress. So anyway, I do give Shaddy a solution for it for those who use the mod. It's a simplified lights out puzzle. One button (or symbol) in this case affects one or other symbols. It just requires two clicks to solve (and closing click).

The symbol order. 1 affects 2, 2 affects 1 and 3, 3 affects 2 and 4, 4 affects 3 and 5, and 5 affects 4. With me so far? Good. And that's kind of it. Now there is a reset build in (image below), and because of reasons it can solve itself by randomly clicking so you can't exactly get stuck in it. And on top of that... there is a bypass built in, within the puzzle and outside of it since it is behind a choice. Now depending on the choices done before, the follow up choice to this puzzle can be crucial (if you choose to brute force it). So if you are uncertain how things are going (Tomas will tell you before the puzzle) consider what the person says. So why I did this? Mostly to see if I can I do something that would fit the VN and it's atmosphere... But overall don't stress about it, I sent a prototype to be tested earlier and it was solved without instructions.

The reset button location, just click the symbol the arrow points, it also highlights. Just hover the mouse over it... and maybe on top of others if need be.

Anyway, have a great weekend you all.
P.S. I can attach the solution to the release post, it won't seen unless the image is downloaded.

If you are using mod update the mod and ensure you overwrite customscreens.rpy or delete customscreens.rpy (and rpyc) from the /game folder.

The app closes on startup on Android. What is wrong?
Give permissions manually

Trying to figure out something, i was subscribed to your patreon last month to get early access to the next version, now that that's run out i'm back to being a common scrub, but your pinned post only has ToaM up to 0.13 for some reason and i see no locked post for version 0.19, which i was under the impression was the usual, like most devs. Now, my memory is shaky so i'd just chalk it up to that, but that 0.13 pinned post really throws me, enough to ask what's up Talo? Any of this make sense to you?

Because the pinned post existed while you were a patron, thus you get access to it (which is also partially reason why it's so behind... that and shoddy short term memory and I keep forgetting updating it when it is time to do so). And 0.19.0 isn't out yet, compiling the release post along side of rendering and things...

Shouldn't it return to being locked if it's a patron only post?

Ah ok, just a case of A before B, my bad, i'll sub again once it's out cause i needs me that ToaM content...

You keep access to the posts that you unlocked while as a patron even after it runs out. So for it to lock for you, it would require me to recreate the post periodically.
