Always appreciate it when a dev can own to make bad estimations, the art looks really nice. Wish you all the best

Yup!
Cheers man, srsly
In the past I did sort of "abuse" deadlines by giving really optimistic/best-case-scenario ones, because it's always easier to work when you're getting close to a deadline (and especially when you're past it). I'm on a nice big dose of adderall now tho so I won't really need to do that too much moving forward. This one has been particularly bad tho, I'll admit, and I just tried to do way too many things in one release, and got a little too tunnel-visioned on "perfecting" some art pieces. I think this has taken a good 4 times as long as the usual release even though I'll be a bit self-congratulatory here and say I've worked a ghastly amount of hours every day for months on end now. Just glad to be through with it soon, and I can confidently say I will never, ever do an art overhaul again dw
Hello, I have a similar issue. I am already at dueling III and the game said it was going to give me a recap if I didn't finished the ghoul mischief mission, but the american man is still there no matter the time of the day. I also can't finish training weight, already stole them AND purchased them from the american man yet everytime I go to Hannah nothing happens and the mission remains unclear. Already tried fQE,Training Weights,1 but same result. And the last bug I have is with the blasting rod mission; already crafted the rod yet Fred and George won't accept it.

Man, I'm glad you still develop this game. Art is very nice but I wish there was a guide (like glowing arrow) for entire game not just 3 first quests. I'm too lazy to explore entire Hogwarts and I bet a lot of people would like it too.

Yup, most of those are related to a bug with the item system that I HOPE is fixed now, and for the american, you simply have to sit in your chair in your room at "night time", meaning when you have Day's End in your questlog. I'm going to make that a lot more clear and have a full-fledged "day system" asap tho. The final build for most things engine-related was sent out to testers about a month ago and it came back mostly clean and without the item bug appearing, so once I got the new art in and I don't have to worry as much about it potentially leaking, I'll do a bit wider beta test and then we'll see if it's all good to go. Then on the new build you should (hopefully!) be able to complete those quests!
Cheers man, really! There's a better map now that'll show quest locations (when enabled) at least. Will also be working with a guy to create a wiki with walkthroughs for all quests! A "compass" sort of system would require quite a bit of implementation because of the way the layout actually is - rooms are technically next to each other rather than stacked on top or it'd be painful/impossible to avoid weird overlaps when creating occlusion culling maps etc, but it'd be an interesting challenge and I've got some ideas already
I am glad to hear that! Then just out of curiosity, should I finish this beta or just wait for the new one to drop?
