Hi LAGS really happy to see a new update. I can't stress how joyful I am to see new content and that you're working on this. LSH is still by far one of my top favorite games of all times. Do you have any plans to implement the city streets map from last game? It was my favorite map. Furthermore I wonder if you'll make it easier to reset character quests since it seems you can only do it once with petals. Kind of stuck otherwise.
Anyway one bug I experienced in the asylum was when I was hunting a shade, after using the pot it told me she was down on second floor location, but when I went, she was nowhere to be found. I checked the entire map and she basically de-spawned.
Lastly, I know I have asked before but if there is any way to financially support you and the development of the game, let me know. Last you said, just purchasing the game was fine but I'd like to contribute more if possible.
Yes, in version 0.4 street map will be there with more accessible places. You will no have petal in no time but buying them is actually a problem since you will need more money. There are plans to earn more in different ways.
Do you see any other character in her place? One with blue hairs. Will try to replicate the problem on my end.
There's no point asking for financial support. I believe itch will not be able to process payments to creators. I'm just waiting for them to tell me upfront so I can just restrict future purchases. I will see if they release my payment until this month ends.
I can say that I have also had the problem in Asylum. After putting the correct ingredients in the pot, I think it was a Shy, it said she was down in one of the extended hallways but I could not find her anywhere.
It's only happened the one time and the blue hair lady did turn up, so I don't know if that has to do with a quest or something.
Another thing that has happened a few times and only in Asylum: sometimes in the hallway with the lights puzzle when I try to leave, the player character disappears and it doesn't actually move back to the other hallway. I can still run around and the camera follows but I can't leave the lights puzzle hallway and my player character has completely disappeared.
The only way to get out is to close the game.
I was not able to replicate the bug in the asylum again since it only happened once. But there was no character there in her place. Just nobody so I had to end the hunt.
On a separate note, I found another bug. In the house, if you have caught less tall lady and see her running around the house, if you press x to interact with her, her animation gets interrupted and she turns into the blue hair girl (that follows you around the house) and then the game freezes. I did it multiple times and you have to exit the game.
As for financial support, let me know what itch says. I would happily buy all the updated versions of the game but you might consider another platform like patreon for people to donate to you instead.
