is SS the only way to talk to snekk? is there no discord? and while the modded sounds nice i will play only the normal version but at least tell me. did you fix the inventory thing in the modded version? i mean where if you sell or give items it would just give the newest things in the inventory. i'm still playing the 8.3 version but i haven't seen a fix for it yet in the changelogs here or on the SS.

the inventory thing doesn't happen in all instances. but it's PAINFULL to see my few potions or a drop being sold instead of something i don't need in excess like the fishes

As far as I'm aware, yes. Snekk hasn't shared a discord or anything of the sort so I'm not aware if they have one. They have claimed that they're no longer checking F95 after the mods updated the game without their say so, so SS is the only way left to get in contact with them. Which is a problem since you have to pay to message them on that. Also, if you don't want to play the modded version, you can play the bugfixed version instead. There are no changes in that that aren't expressly for fixing a bug, so it's entirely the Vanilla experience. Both versions are up to date in the Google Drive that the link to "Mods" sends you to on the front page.

As for the selling thing, I believe that has been fixed in the bugfix/modded versions. Snekk forgot to put a "capture" in the selling menu so the game remembers which item you're trying to sell. Happened in a few donation places as well and it has been fixed there too.

getting naked to go into the onsen (or possibly just in general?) doesn't work currently, but I don't think that the plot that needs it to fire is in the Twine version yet so it might be fine for now? I just like killing time in the onsen so I noticed it.

Found the problem. Coincidentally, any other situation that called for the player to strip naked or be unequipped also wouldn't have worked since the new widgets for it were broken

only a few things i have a problem with right now and those are the serpent island the Femme Fatalis not being allowed to leave with it and having to specifically use the portal to get out. can't wait for that to be a thing again.. checked the gate a few times and there's no hole anymore or that may just be a goblin thing now, i haven't played goblin ever since i couldn't be male goblin so i dunno but before the hole was there even with other starts. and i think it's just those two for now. i am saying this but i ain't bad i do love the game and it was fun before and i can't wait for the twine version to catch up to where it was before. lookin forward to it and i hope snekk takes care.

does anyone know what the art plans are going forwards? I thought something was said about making sure that specific art would get attached to specific NPCs, so that an elf NPC wouldn't spawn Gobbo art while you're fucking or something?

was that this game or a different one?
I may be mixing up games actually, sorry if it's not this one!

(as a side note, I kind of want to learn to code, is twine a good platform for beginners or is it too finicky? I know Chaos has been run a bit ragged trying to bugfix Snekk's stuff...)

ETA: the reason I asked is because I was fucking Avee and it pulled Goblin art for some reason, I kept playing through but it occured to me that it was kind of strange since that didn't happen in the QSP version.

That's usually a bug. The TL;DR is each scene is only supposed to draw from a specific set of images, so if a Goblin image was pulled up during a Avee scene, then it's looking for the wrong image in code or it's looking for the right image but the image itself is wrong. The only exception I know of is if the player themselves is a Goblin since they usually get their own images in scenes. Not for Avee, but in a lot of other cases. Unless Snekk commissions art for this game, and that would be a lot of art they'd need, most likely they'll continue pulling images that fit off of like rule34 or similar sites.

I would say Twine is excellent for beginners. I personally only know the basics of coding and web design and that's more than enough to figure out what's going wrong in the game in most cases. I also make it slightly harder on myself by using VSCode instead of actual Twine since some of the symbols aren't translated properly. I still do it because doing it like I do means I can instantly test my fixes by saving them and then refreshing the game, so the pros outweigh the cons to me.

I'd actually really encourage just grabbing the game and either putting it in a coding program (like Visual Studio Code, which is free) or throwing it into the twine website (which is also free) and figuring things out that way. Snekk is very consistent with how they do things, so once you figure it out you can do fixes very easily. Most of the fixes are things like "Snekk misspelled this thing" or "Snekk forgot to include this thing" rather than anything serious. The real issue is there's just a lot of times where it happens. It's actually middling rare where I have to pull new code out to fix an issue (like how I overhauled the entire prison system).

I have no idea how to get skills. I don't know if I glossed over some info or what. My class is supposed to be wizard, but it says wizard-inspired, and it says I need a class before getting skills at a bed. Where can I get a class?

Also, I got locked out of Percy a bit ago, but I already overwrote the save prior to the whole minotaur thing. Any fix?

If you're playing base game, then neither of those issues have been solved yet. Even if you go to the Avedon Arena to get a class like you're supposed to, Wizard doesn't have a statue there, preventing you from getting that class. And in base game, if you rescue Percy without first getting captured, they just kinda disappear from the game. Both of these issues are fixed in the modded version. I don't think I fixed the Wizard problem in the bugfixed version

Everything got pretty much fixed after installing the mod and it all went smoothly except for a few bugs (like the werewolf, which keeps repeating the collar-breaking event, and Eve, which after the black goop event just becomes uninteractable, with no image). Thanks a lot.

I pretty much did everything I've seen I could do in Avadon, Britmon and the Isles (except for the snake problem which I do not know how to solve). Is that everything in this version? Because I've read around the thread that there are more places, but I do not seem to find a way to go there. I tried also going to Forth Reach which is the only place that strikes me as odd. Where those parts temporarily removed from the game like the castle? Mostly curious.

That's pretty much it. There's a little more content if you have The Chosen One background, but not terribly much. If you wanna roll the dice, you can go to the backrooms in the Lake Prison and potentially get sent to Monduval, but that's very incomplete. Still a bit more content to explore though. Snekk just released a new quest over on SS, but given Snekk themselves said they were very distracted this week, I'm not touching that until the next update where they can give it more of their attention. Updates where Snekk is distracted tend to be a lot worse in terms of bugs needing to be fixed
Also, the snake problem just hasn't been completed yet.

I've been following this game for some time and when I saw this new Twine rendition I decided that's it's a time for a comment.
1. First of all, thank you for your work. In my opinion, Rubedo is the greatest QSP game of all time and seeing its spiritual successor to go to Twine is really nice. It's easier to run and it probably has more technical options.
2. Your original story and a variety of races are good. Story is not easy to get a grasp on but it is an interesting take on our world's mythos.
3. From the game design perspective, it is an improvement from the "original" but here are some points:
  • Warrior has a multiattack but attacks do not go to different target. If I am fighting 5 goblins with 30 HP and I have 5 attacks, I still need take 5 attack actions. This is probably a tech thing but I felt that it needed mentioning.
  • It is not clear which actions lead to XP gain. The game really need visuals for this.
  • It seems that Monduval clothes do not have any effect for now.
  • Your default house is the hut on Dragon isles and you can teleport concubines only there which is odd.
4. Thank you for not hiding variables so they can be accessed via the browser console!

Things that I am not fond of:
1. For me, the main selling point of Rubedo was corruption. You decided to remove such arcs as:
  • barmaiden in Avedon suburbs (replaced with Frog that has a distinct kink so doesn't count),
  • onsen worker,
  • sex worker in the slums (it was not from pure to corrupt, it was from corrupt to truly depraved).
  • Idk about Tel-Adre barmaiden, it's not implemented yet.
  • Oh, I remembered, also sex in bakery! Now it's replaced with "semen donation" which is not that engaging imo.
  • Also, there were hints to corruption via flower delivery in Rubedo, now they are gone too.
  • And a gloryhole in the port.
2. You can sell yourself to lizardfolk and at the Junktown brothel from the get go, character do not have moral restraints to begin with which is odd. This genuinely breaks immersion.
3. Not only it breaks immersion, it makes it so there are no repetitive-and-escalating events in the game which are really important if you came here not for the story but for the NSFW content.
4. Overall it seems that there are more stuff to do as a male character than as a female character which makes me sad.
5. On a similar note, you can't use a brothel for some reason, you can only work in it. This would be a great addition.

So, I understand that you want to distance yourself from the "source" but I humbly ask you to consider bringing back things that made it great in the first place or making new similar ones that fill the same gameplay niches.

As a nar GD\ game writer I could even write something for you but I understand that you chose to be a single dev for a reason and I highly respect that as well as an enormous job you've done.

Thank you for your game! What you're making can be one of the greatest NSFW games of all time eventually.
