I have a bug where every action I make expends all action points. Skill cost is 4 points but it expends all 9. My characters are so weak because of this it's impossible to kill anything. How do I fix this problem?
Barry, preparation, Slash, Strike, double tap. Ap cost shows 4 but it instantly ends the turn. If it is designed to work that way my attacks don't seem to do almost anything and even when I focus attacks on one thug at a time I rarely get it killed before my first character is already dead and one on one no chance. Thugs do so much more damage than pc controlled characters it's already over at that point.
Also never mind last time I played attacks did almost nothing this time both thugs dropped like flys. I'm good it seems to actually be playable this time.
Alright good to know. Two worm creatures in troglodyte cave seemed to regnerate their core armor indefinitely and were complitely immortal. Also attacks to stinger and tentacles did not cause enough damage to kill them. Not sure if my build was bad against them or if they were bugged somehow. I tried to kill them 5-7 times and every time they complitely overpowered my character. I just skipped the combat after a while.
Fights where there was two enemy factions seemed to just simply freeze. If there were troglodytes fighting undead I would be able to get my first turn. Then enemy's would make theirs and then freeze. Second turn would never come. I skipped thous battles because there was no way to get it unstuck. Quest where I was hunting some monsters with spear elf girl and we met the lobster looking creature that ally's with us. That fight did not freeze. Every battle where there is hostile AI vs Hostile AI vs player it would freeze.
Hey, no we don't plan to have deep customization of the main character, because he is not supposed to be a blank slate, and also because we don't have enough resources to adapt all the scenes and dialogues.
great game but its a damn shame how much content is locked in the gallery. overall though i'd highly recommend it the combat is unique the story is intriguing and the art is phenomenal. its also one of the few games i've seen that uses tweening right in the animations it actually comes off smooth rather then lifeless and creepy. well heres hoping we get more furry and scalie gals and smore of best kobold girl isk
I'm doing the Osh'to quest, but I can't seem to be able to get the Shackles from Kalid, there aren't any dialogue options for it. Is it a bug or am I missing something?
Wow, Just Wow..... Just played the Demo, not even to completion but still WOW..... The art is great, the music is soothing, the writing is phenomenal and naughty. The animation for the H-scenes are interesting, instead of going for just a few loops or still images and calling it a day you've added little variations as the scene progresses..... Changes in expression, shifts in pace.... It's subtle things like that that really make the scene stand out to me. I love it....
My one and only issue tho: The grey text is just a smidge bit difficult to read sometimes. I mean that might be resolved already, or it might be more readable if a actually fullscreened the game (which I did not) but it made reading the gorgeous descriptive text just a bit harder.... Honestly with that being my only gripe about the Demo, I'd say that really speaks volumes to how much I enjoyed it. I'm definitely gonna keep an eye on this.
Shame the Demo didn't show any other parts of the game but I'm certain that if you gave it even HALF the attention to detail that this Demo had then I'm certain there is nothing to worry about :)
Thank you! Yeah it's meant to be played full screen, I assume you mean the web demo? We have a free version you can download here which has a lot more content: https://priceforfreedom.net/avarice/download
You can change the color and size of the dialogue in the options by the way.
Oh so my only gripe is already fix and likely a non-issue. Perfect! I'll try that link later and will likely support this project in the near future. Excellent Stuff!
I don't know what "Investigate the green building..." should mean right now. The only option seems to be a very difficult fight with the thieves, right?
even if you translate it it will be very cool! the project will open to a much larger number of people, so I think your work will also pay off over time
So where are the save files actually located? I looked in the folder that the wiki-like thing mentioned and it's just jpeg files not actual save files.
My Game doesnt load. Ive tried to play the game but everytime I open it, it just is stuck on this one screen. SO like it asks me if I want patreon content. i say no and the title shows up and fades away. And then Im just left with the artpiece of a bunch of people in the steam pool or whatever. I can scroll around on the image but nothing happens. Im on MacOs, and Ive seen a somewhat similar error occur in some other games. And to fix that, I just went into the contents, macos, and opened upa terminal file called NWJS, or in this case, the terminal called PriceForFreedom. But the same thing happens. Any help would be appreciated.
Wait, Nvm. It works. It was just loading and took a long time. Perhaps the loading part was an error? If not, I would advise to add one in cause I was just stuck on that one piece of amazing art for like 5 minutes before I loaded in
This could be caused by your antivirus or Windows Defender blocking the files from loading. Add an exception rule for the PriceForFreedom executable. Sometimes just disabling and enabling the protection is enough.
Hey thanks, originally the game itself is inspired by Baldur Gates, but yes it's pretty similar to other cRPG such as Pillars of Eternity and Divinity: Origin Sin, but obviously we are nowhere near as good as those legends.
We have a few inspirations more based on the individual developer. Arbuz is looking back at his favourites, Baldurs Gate 2, Fallout 1 and Fallout 2, Divinity OS2. I personally look back at games like Shadowrun, Fallout 1&2, Final Fantasy Tactics, Nier Automata etc. Every developer has their own inspirations to what they work by. Even from board games like Kingdom Death.
However, we're not attempting to adapt or take anyone else's world or stories of course. We've more or less focused on learning lessons taught from other things and applying those lessons and some of the ideas that stuck with us over the years. The world for instance is completely ground up out own.
so my laptop can run the game but just barely it seems. It lags a decent amount and so I am wondering if there is anything I can do to make it run better?
You can try to reduce the quality of the fog of war and other settings. But unfortunately the game is still being worked on and optimization isn't our priority at the moment. It should get better later on though.
so... i finally rebuild the PC. even tho seems like zip file has errors, there is no way to download exe file? im sure exe file will work if it will be downloaded without any other files, but it has errors when i try to instal with windows.zip file.
Only a little ways in, have enjoyed it so far, but I fail to understand the directive of blatant game overs when presented with a pool of options. I understand with the development process that these are potentially intentional, but it provides a rather linear game feel or that I've been robbed of my actual decision. Despite this, you've certainly garnered my appeal. Thanks for the work!
Of course make sure the sound is not disabled in the settings, but beside that could you send me your logs? C:/Users/USER_NAME/AppData/LocalLow/TeamDeadDeer/PriceForFreedom/Player.log
Very good art style and not only that. Storyline and lenght. Its all just so perfect. Only problem is that my pc is not working anymore and good game like that should have android version. I know how hard it is to creat android version. But is it planned?
another thing....when I use field medicine from hiho the game get bugged and I can't do nothing only reload the game...maybe if u could do some test on that spell....can be that is my fault but I can't understand why.....thanks again and yes the game is really nice congrats to all for the really good job done
if i can tell u....dunno how or why but i get the quest "whispering bandits" dunno how or where got me this quest and now for go ahead the npc tell me that i need patreon...should not be possible to start it if u dont have patreon...cuz now i got it in my quest list cant finish it and cant remove it.....after 15 years of world of warcraft i get totally triggered if i see a quest in my quest list and i cant do it....if u maybe can check it please...and this is only for knowledge...its possible that not all che chacacter got a combat spell with more upgrade??i mean....samara spear thrust main char slash and why scilla dont have a spell similar with upgrade??u forgott it or it have a sense that she dont have one??if u ask me sound strange that she dont have one.... dunno how many char i can use but i was thinking that everyone got a special combat skill with upgrades..i try to use the skae hiho but with the bug of healing she is pretty useless (really low dagame spell..this is why she hav to heal and buff and no tdoing damage its make a lot of sense to me)now i change hiho for scilla....sorry for my bad english...thanks for answering me....
another little question if i can brooke your balls even more...sorry for that...in the combat i cant understand how to calculate the damage im doing....i see the enemy life and the enemy armor but when i attack i cant understand why sometime i make a lot of damage like ignoring the armor and sometimes i do nothing damage...i know i get spell with only attack and some other with attack and armor breaking but to me seems that the damage is still a bit random...but probably its only my stupidity to not understand how to calculate it....again...awesome work guys...really......( till now i dont need money or buyng special items so i keep all the item i found but could be nice to put some more info in the items to understand if i could use it or if is really to sell it and make money....i got now 53 items of 100 so i got a lot of place and try to not sell nothing all can be good maybe in the future but is a bit useless to bring with u a lot of useless item...like scroll relic and large key that i used one time at the beginn of the game...with some more detailled info we could know if its wort to keep him....sorry again if i....brooke your balls (in italian this means ill bore you) with this kind of thing.... :(
Yeah not all the companions have their skills implemented at the moment. Eventually they will all have unique upgrades for all their skills. And yes whispering bandits is a patreon quest at the moment. For the damage it's hard to say it might be a bug since they are supposed to be consistent (no rng), but different skills affect the armor and health differently, so it might be just that. We will add more description to the items, but you can safely sell most of them, except the gears which can be useful in combat and the food which regenerate health outside combat.

Really enjoy the game so far but question, is there any chance for a futa main character for customization?
Hey, no we don't plan to have deep customization of the main character, because he is not supposed to be a blank slate, and also because we don't have enough resources to adapt all the scenes and dialogues.
Is there a way to reset the skill tree?
Yes, you can refund a skill learned with a right click. We might change that later, but it should work for now.
sooooo..... how long does it usually take for quests to become public? My ass is broke...
Well the game was always meant to be sold on steam or itch when it is finished, so it will never be completely free unfortunately :(
I'd be down to buy it when it's finished, but I was wondering if we'll get public releases since I'm unable to contribute monthly.
I've finished Hiho's quest but I can't find Osh'to anywhere. Is it because I'm playing the Game Jolt version or is it just a bug?
You probably have an old version, download the latest one here: https://priceforfreedom.net/avarice/download
Thanks :)
I might just be stupid but how do you get into the cliffside storehouse.
never mind I tink Ive found i
great game but its a damn shame how much content is locked in the gallery. overall though i'd highly recommend it the combat is unique the story is intriguing and the art is phenomenal. its also one of the few games i've seen that uses tweening right in the animations it actually comes off smooth rather then lifeless and creepy. well heres hoping we get more furry and scalie gals and smore of best kobold girl isk
I'm doing the Osh'to quest, but I can't seem to be able to get the Shackles from Kalid, there aren't any dialogue options for it. Is it a bug or am I missing something?
It might be a bug yes, could you join our discord and ask on the bug-tracker channel? https://priceforfreedom.net/discord
I will help you there.
Thank you!
i just got on your patreon, where do i get the code/ when do i get it?
nvm i'm just stupid
You figured it out already, but for anyone else it's in the patreon post.
I wonder if this game will ever have an android port...
Yes, one day.
Cool.
Wow nice, looking forward.
I have tried multiple times to try and download the game but can't. The only file I get is the asset bundles.
What is the size of the zip after you download it?
NVM I got the file. It was a size issue.
Digging most of it, aside from the whole 'play as a broken rape victim' angle, bit depressing that.
Is there a combat tutorial or explainer somewhere that I missed, or may have skipped? I feel like I'm attacking bandits with a pool noodle
It's in our plans but not yet, the combat system being a work in progress still, and subject to changes.
Wow, Just Wow..... Just played the Demo, not even to completion but still WOW..... The art is great, the music is soothing, the writing is phenomenal and naughty. The animation for the H-scenes are interesting, instead of going for just a few loops or still images and calling it a day you've added little variations as the scene progresses.....

How do you skip combat?
There is a skip combat button at the bottom right.
Yes, I just figured out I had to enable it, so sorry for wasting your time!
No problem, have fun.
how do you take your save file from one build to the other build because I am currently on build 18
The saves files are in a special folder that is shared between all versions, so you don't need to do anything.
sweet thanks
question: is this game related to the price of freedom comics?
Yes but in minor ways. The game happens 87 years before the comic, so no one is alive yet besides you know who.
hey i have problem i can't save and some times game can't load fights
Visit our discord, it will be easier to help you there: https://priceforfreedom.net/discord
"In the light of the woom" is a typo I found with bedding Katie
Whank you, fixed!
I don't know what "Investigate the green building..." should mean right now. The only option seems to be a very difficult fight with the thieves, right?
Check the walkthrough if you are stuck: https://priceforfreedom.net/avarice/walkthrough
If you mean the first Hiho quest, you need to avoid that fight in the dialogue.
Will there be Russian and other languages? :D
Maybe, but we have a lot of text so it will be a huge challenge to translate.
even if you translate it it will be very cool! the project will open to a much larger number of people, so I think your work will also pay off over time
We will do our best.
will you release on android?
Eventually yes.
So where are the save files actually located? I looked in the folder that the wiki-like thing mentioned and it's just jpeg files not actual save files.
The jpg are the saves.
My Game doesnt load. Ive tried to play the game but everytime I open it, it just is stuck on this one screen.

It is strange that it takes this long, it should only be a few seconds.
Perhaps it could be that my computer is a Mac and a slightly old model? It could be because my computer overheated and is usually slow.
the outskirts seen refuses to load for me no matter how many times I reload the game or start a new one
This could be caused by your antivirus or Windows Defender blocking the files from loading. Add an exception rule for the PriceForFreedom executable. Sometimes just disabling and enabling the protection is enough.
I've done what you said but it still doesn't work
Could you send me your logs: C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\LocalLow\TeamDeadDeer\PriceForFreedom\Player.log
The game I believe is experiancing glitch's, during the sex scenes characters are breaking up.

Thank you for the reply! I'll see if it works, if not it's fine. I enjoy the game either way
so... i finally rebuild the PC. even tho seems like zip file has errors, there is no way to download exe file? im sure exe file will work if it will be downloaded without any other files, but it has errors when i try to instal with windows.zip file.
Well the exe is inside the zip, you need to extract it. If you can't open the zip, maybe try to download it here: https://mega.nz/folder/t4R2RQhI#pfJqpY39pCH_K8xJAQWELw
well yes i know location of exe file but it has errors after extract is finished.
Only a little ways in, have enjoyed it so far, but I fail to understand the directive of blatant game overs when presented with a pool of options. I understand with the development process that these are potentially intentional, but it provides a rather linear game feel or that I've been robbed of my actual decision. Despite this, you've certainly garnered my appeal. Thanks for the work!
Are you referring to the game over in the prologue?
Not getting any audio on Windows? Known issue?
No music at all?
No sounds, no music, nothing. Again, this is the Windows exe.
Of course make sure the sound is not disabled in the settings, but beside that could you send me your logs? C:/Users/USER_NAME/AppData/LocalLow/TeamDeadDeer/PriceForFreedom/Player.log
Sure thing, log can be found here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Akg4f_8hNrRtiZcKRcEtTaTd9_wj2A?e=mXkN13
Fixed by reinstalling my audio driver *facepalm*
Happens :p
Very good art style and not only that. Storyline and lenght. Its all just so perfect. Only problem is that my pc is not working anymore and good game like that should have android version. I know how hard it is to creat android version. But is it planned?
Btw. Just love it D
Thank you, and yes we will have an android version eventually.
U guys have any other game for android ?
No, this is our first one.
Oh nice for first one. Coding shouldbe hard. anyways keep it up
high five creators. I am not an admin!
holy jizz this game is huge
do u guys see your self updating the browser game
Probably not in the near future, but we have a few other web demos on newgrounds if you want: https://teamdeaddeer.newgrounds.com/
Out of curiosity will this be released on Android in the future or is it too much for it?
Yes it will, but not in the near future.
I'm a patient person lol. Thanks for the reply.
awesome game...really good job guys....only 1 question...its possible to have more than 9 ap??if u move its impossible to do 2 attack....
Thanks, and yes that's intended. The combat is still a work in progress, so it will make more sense next updates.
another thing....when I use field medicine from hiho the game get bugged and I can't do nothing only reload the game...maybe if u could do some test on that spell....can be that is my fault but I can't understand why.....thanks again and yes the game is really nice congrats to all for the really good job done
I will check that out. Report all the bugs you find, we'll fix them.
