Hey, I wanted to report a few bugs. I tried replaying the game from the beginning and a lot of stuff changed?
Everytime Victor appears, he appears in the new form than the original one.
After choosing between Autammark Gorge and Old Forest in chapter 2, the second option doesn't play through. Like If I choose Old Forest I never end up meeting Khai because I never end up going to Autammark Gorge.
The last save I made with the beginning of the latest scene with Victor starts playing in the middle of Chapter 2 like after the first scene with Amelie, the last save plays out.
The scene with Jean when Catherine fails to pay back her loan doesn't play through at all.
In the Batria route, everytime Catherine goes home, it opens up in Legio Valantia Camp and doesn't glitch back.
There are probably more but I got frustrated trying to get back to Batria after every scene and gave up. Please fix these, I've been playing since 2 years and I really love your game.
So, I have done extensive tests on my end and I have failed to reproduce any of these bugs. Analysing the code, my suspicion is that your "new" save files for some reason have story flags from events that haven't happened yet set to true. Please make a backup of your save files, then delete them and start a new game to see if the problems persist.
The save files are store in C:\Users\%username\AppData\LocalLow\Necro Bunny Studios\Rise of the White Flower
Hello there ... I downloaded the android version and it says on the main menu it's not working ... Is this fixed yet or is it going to take a bit longer ?
You can try using the app called Parallel Space. It allows you to clone apps, to run separate accounts on Twitter, and stuff like that. But if you clone Rise using that app and run it through there it works! Or at least it worked for me and some other people that tested it.
The problem is that we don't have permission to save the game anymore because android is cracking down on third-party apps like ours, we don't have permission to write on the device anymore, which means we can't save the game. This app works around that limitation and gives the game the proper permissions
It seems there is a bug in the quest to gather the potion ingredients: If you go to the forest first you're automatically sent back to the city after the nymph and you can't go to the lake.
Are the choices for a romance path only available when they appear for the first time? Or can I choose to romance a certain character at a later point as well? I'd like to avoid having to repeat hours of gameplay only because I can't choose a path at a later point.
I do, but it's hard to just give you a list because there are way too many variables involved in what scenes you do and don't. Lena, which is the earliest romance route you can access, allows you to sleep around no problem, so you don't lose many scenes at all. Evelyn, Yda's, and Amelie's (to be added) romance are also open. Eleanor's, Khai's, and Marius (to be added) are closed relationships so you mostly just have access to their scenes. Other romance routes are still undefined at this moment.
Upon playtesting some more, it seems to be a caching issue. If I load from the beginning or a save prior to the transition, everything works normally. But if at any point during a session I load a save or enter a segment using the new room, if I load a previous save, it retains the new room look.
*It seems like loading a save from before chapter 4 doesn't affect it, but chapter 4 and on is affected, as are new games.

Are you sure about that? Look at F-Droid or NewPipe. Both are third-party, and both store settings and alike without losing stuff.
I have actually located the directory of another third-party app, Mitch, an Android itch.io client. Preferences are stored as expected in an XML file that is located in /data/data/<package_name>.
So it should be entirely possible to save a game on Android. Yes, things have changed, but that doesn't break them.
Ah, yes, the ONE damn thing thats good about android is being broken. I couldn't even access my data folder on my new phone, I had to downgrade my android version. Such fucking bullshit. It makes me so mad... the only thing I like about android over iphone is the fact I can easily get apks. I mean, what idiot at android is approving all this? If I want to be unsafe and download random apps, thats MY choice. Im currently running android 10, and games can still read and write. However, when I try to play and hit new game, the screen is just black for me. The UI is there and I can interact but nothing is showing text or picture wise.
I cant play the android version its saying something about drastic changes in the android version and that it no longer works is there any news about a fix?
windows version doesn't work for me anymore i've tried uninstalling and wiping the files from computer and reinstalling and i've tried running the game as administrator but it just says that with the dirastic changes in the android version it no longer works. anyone know if there is any fixes?
Had a weird error come up after I un-zipped the folder for v0.9.2 (before c or d versions came out) where the folder seemingly duplicated itself so I had two of them. Strangely deleting one left the other but it was completely empty. So I just had an empty folder on my computer say it cannot delete itself as it "Could not find the file".
The newer versions haven't had this issue but still want to let ya know about it. I fixed it by using CMD to remove it, so at least its gone now :D

This app works around that limitation and gives the game the proper permissions
Now that we've got a way to play on Android, I've got to ask is it updated to the latest version of the game? Or was it's updates paused do to the past play problem?
Kinda. If you're on Eleanor's slave route you also get a scene with her after. Though, in any case, there should be a small end of content scene that plays automatically. You didn't get that?
No, she joins her legion in their camp and the last option I got was "Now to make this place feel more like home". Then when I press go out it shows this, and the only option is "I better tell Yda the news". And after that there's no more options, it just shows the option to go back to my house (in the city, not the tower) and the gym.
Art's great, SPAG is excellent which is incredible for a work this long with so many branching paths, and the descriptions do their jobs wonderfully.
But, and this probably sounds like a weird complaint, it's VERY hard to fail. Like, I decided to start a new playthrough and intentionally go for all the worst dialogue choices and while I missed a few sex scenes, it doesn't seem like much else is changing. I really wish that poor choices, ESPECIALLY during fights, had clear costs (immediate and/or long-term).
I know sometimes that isn't going to be possible (I might have little interest in Eleanor but you justified her staying interested with some masochism even when we specifically choose just unpleasant options and having her and her relationship be optional would change far too much to be viable to write, as an example), but unless the player goes out of their way to burn a bunch of days even the bad ending (I was hoping it'd be a route unto itself but I totally understand not doing that) is pretty hard to get by accident.
Have I just not played for long enough? I stopped after the orc fight, so it's definitely possible I'm missing later choices which have a more radical effect.
This is by design. I hate arbitrary bad ends in VN's as it's often hard to figure out ahead of time which options lead to them, long routes that eventually end in a game over because of a decision you took way back are especially a no go for me. The game is not supposed to be challenging, it's supposed to be a story you can enjoy free of stress.
That said, there are some new mechanics that are coming out on the latest build that involves the management of an army. I still will not add arbitrary bad ends, and it won't be too hard to manage the army, but perhaps you would enjoy the extra weight of each decision? There is a lot at stake after all.
That's fair. I like bad ends in VNs if getting a not bad end isn't hell or if backtracking isn't a massive pain, but I can understand not wanting to add them here.
Also, sorry if I was rude!
Also, I'm guessing the only bad end will never be its own route?
No worries at all, I didn't think you were rude! I'm thinking about adding a bad end route... Just... Need to figure it out properly before, it would be a massive undertaking to add it.
But if you do want to go for it, I wish you the best of luck. I can't imagine how much work everything already in the game already took, so please don't burn yourself out!
there are two at the moment, the first you can get very early game by just sleeping a lot (its tied to a particular day), the second you have to choose a particular choice when fighting a magic orc later on, though that bad end is bad but its not an end as the story just continues from there. I will add another bad end eventually for the main villain fight but I think that will be it.
I love this game but the day after playing it for the first time it stopped working on the windows version because of the updates on the android and I really wanna continue playing.
Install the app, then when you open it it will ask for you to select apps to clone. Select Rise of the White Flower and continue. Then just open the game from the next screen.
If Parallel Space doesn't work, like it didn't for me, try downloading Super Clone or any app that's similar to Parallel Space, that actually allowed me to play the game on the new Android version.
Mate I really love this game but i recently got a new Android phone and the games not working on it my eyes literally started tearing up is ther any way u can make this game compatable with Android12 and maybe even on other upcoming Android versions pleassss!!
PS - I can't play the game in my pc cuz it's in the living room.
I can't do much at the moment unfortunately. Android made changes that make it harder for us to develop for android without going native. And mobile is not our focus, or my competence for that matter, so we won't be making another whole version of the game natively just so it can run on newer versions of android.
Such a shame maaan!! I probably won't be able to play it for 2 or 3 years unless I get my own laptop or something.I guess I'll just try the game for every update and hope that it runs on my phone.
I'm normally not real keen on playing a female character in these VNs, but man is this story well written and developed. I actually didn't feel any cringe with this one because it's such an amazing story. Hell, I even had a moment where I was super proud of the MC and got emotional. That says something!

Great game! I'm on chapter 9 and have enjoyed it thus far. One question though is Amelie Romanceable/will be Romanceable?
Yes. I think it is already implemented.
Not fully implemented yet. But yes, we have a romance route planned for her.
Hello there ... I downloaded the android version and it says on the main menu it's not working ... Is this fixed yet or is it going to take a bit longer ?
We're not working on a fix.

It doesn't work for newer versions of android. No reason not to make it available for those that are running older versions.
*your
It seems there is a bug in the quest to gather the potion ingredients: If you go to the forest first you're automatically sent back to the city after the nymph and you can't go to the lake.
I'm running across this bug but also a bug where after getting the owl familiar, and deciding Catherine's path, it sends her to the city.
Great game with lots of futaxfemale. This game has so much great content. thank you for the release!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
is the stats tab usually empty or is it a bug?
It's a bug, I've fixed it in a more recent version, it should make it's way here before long.
Do you plan to add more characters or a way to keep Jean a dude?
No. Although more characters might be introduced they will be introduced only to aid in the plot.
The game doesn't work on android
Read the comments below, this has been already discussed a couple times.
Are the choices for a romance path only available when they appear for the first time? Or can I choose to romance a certain character at a later point as well? I'd like to avoid having to repeat hours of gameplay only because I can't choose a path at a later point.
So far you can only chose to enter a romance route when it first becomes available.
I see :) Will this change in the future?
Thanks for answering, and have a nice day :D
Perhaps, but I don't really think it will. What I might do eventually is add a cheat option to allow players to do all scenes without restriction.
Sounds good to me!
Do you know what scenes we lose out on if we chose to romance a character?
I do, but it's hard to just give you a list because there are way too many variables involved in what scenes you do and don't.
Lena, which is the earliest romance route you can access, allows you to sleep around no problem, so you don't lose many scenes at all. Evelyn, Yda's, and Amelie's (to be added) romance are also open. Eleanor's, Khai's, and Marius (to be added) are closed relationships so you mostly just have access to their scenes. Other romance routes are still undefined at this moment.
Hey so you just can't play on Android anymore or what?
this isnt working on windows
it says
"Unfortunately, Due to drastic changes in the newer version of Android the game doesnt work with this version at the moment "
what should i do
i had downloaded it miltiple times
this will work- Try running it as administrator.
Up, i wanna know too
That means it can't acess the save folder. Try running it as administrator.
thanks man
it worked
How do you run it as administrator?
Right click on it, then select "Run as administrator"
Parallel Space wont open the game unless I use the 64bit version of Parallel Space, which doesn't work on my phone at all...
I'm unable to download through itch. Is there a way for me to fix this?
Looks like the tower home room replaces the default one even when it shouldn't (i.e., earlier in the story when she hasn't moved into the tower yet).0
How early are we talking about?
Upon playtesting some more, it seems to be a caching issue. If I load from the beginning or a save prior to the transition, everything works normally. But if at any point during a session I load a save or enter a segment using the new room, if I load a previous save, it retains the new room look.
*It seems like loading a save from before chapter 4 doesn't affect it, but chapter 4 and on is affected, as are new games.
Ah I see, thanks for the testing I'll try to get to the bottom of this.
Hi!
Does anyone know if we can romance Jean? Is there a relationship route with him?
Kinda, but i'll wager is far from what you're expecting.
When will there be a fix for android version to work properly
Never.
You can try using the app called Parallel Space. It allows you to clone apps, to run separate accounts on Twitter, and stuff like that. But if you clone Rise using that app and run it through there it works! Or at least it worked for me and some other people that tested it.

Mate this is actually legit bro it actually works properly on my android phone, although i don't think ur saves will carry through the next version.

However, when I try to play and hit new game, the screen is just black for me. The UI is there and I can interact but nothing is showing text or picture wise.
when i get back from the kobold quest it says that ive reached the last scene of the current build and reinstalling wont work either
Go to the tavern and talk to Eleanor. That will allow you to continue the game.
Is it safe to transfer saves to new versions on Android?
I cant play the android version its saying something about drastic changes in the android version and that it no longer works is there any news about a fix?
Can't get the Mac version to run, even after extracting from the .app.tar and doing the right click to open -> "allow game to run."
Hi! Is this game mostly female love interests? I saw 3 guys and I read one of them becomes a woman, so only 2 guys and the rest are girls? 🤔
Can I transfer saves to newer versions on android?
windows version doesn't work for me anymore i've tried uninstalling and wiping the files from computer and reinstalling and i've tried running the game as administrator but it just says that with the dirastic changes in the android version it no longer works. anyone know if there is any fixes?
Run the game as administrator. It probably doesn't have permission to access the save location.
How can i download the older versions ?
You can't.
So there isnt a way to play on android anymore ?
You can download the app Parallel Space and run the game through it. That resolves the issue.
I tried 4 different apps doesnt work for me
As Bunny said, the app Parallel Space should work. That app specifically. It works for me.
Had a weird error come up after I un-zipped the folder for v0.9.2 (before c or d versions came out) where the folder seemingly duplicated itself so I had two of them. Strangely deleting one left the other but it was completely empty. So I just had an empty folder on my computer say it cannot delete itself as it "Could not find the file".
The newer versions haven't had this issue but still want to let ya know about it. I fixed it by using CMD to remove it, so at least its gone now :D
Hmm. Thats weird, thanks for letting me know.
May there be Chinese?
Unfortunately we don't have the budget to translate the game to other languages.
Latest update for Android won't install. Version 10.0.9.2.d
I updated the file, try downloading it again.
Thanks for the fix :)
-- edit --
Oof guess I can't play it anyway. Doesn't work on Android 11.

This app works around that limitation and gives the game the proper permissions
Could it be the reason why some other games here ask for permission to access all files?
Yes.
is this version working with android 11
Now that we've got a way to play on Android, I've got to ask is it updated to the latest version of the game? Or was it's updates paused do to the past play problem?
Yes! I never stopped exporting the android version as it still worked fine on the earlier versions of android.
awesome! Does the content end after she enters her tower she made when her and her army make camp?
Kinda. If you're on Eleanor's slave route you also get a scene with her after. Though, in any case, there should be a small end of content scene that plays automatically. You didn't get that?

And after that there's no more options, it just shows the option to go back to my house (in the city, not the tower) and the gym.
Hmm... I did upload a bugfix on Friday. Perhaps you don't have the latest version?
The saves name is "Looking for trouble" if that helps to tell you what part I'm at
Art's great, SPAG is excellent which is incredible for a work this long with so many branching paths, and the descriptions do their jobs wonderfully.

Sorry about not keeping up with updates, but is a bad end route in the works/has been added?

On the windows version? Try running the game as administrator.
yes the windows version, it says "due to drastic changes in the android version this one no longer works"
for those who have a new version of android, I advise you to download a parallel space and everything will work.
Oh wow, I tested it on my device and it really does work! Thanks for letting me know! <3
Can you explain how to do that? Sorry, I'm dumb.
Install the app, then when you open it it will ask for you to select apps to clone. Select Rise of the White Flower and continue. Then just open the game from the next screen.
What app did you use for the parallel space? The one I tried didn't work. I really want to play the game but only can on androi
parallel space
If Parallel Space doesn't work, like it didn't for me, try downloading Super Clone or any app that's similar to Parallel Space, that actually allowed me to play the game on the new Android version.

Any ideas on when it might work on android
I'm normally not real keen on playing a female character in these VNs, but man is this story well written and developed.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
I wish I can play this on andriod 11
still can't play on android 12
Awsome game wow 😉
Hi.
a bug report, in preferences, I set music volume to 0, but the intro music keep going sound. I restart the game, but the problem persists.
Oh, thanks for the report. I'll look into it
Does it work for android 12?
Probably not.
