Hi, I would like to report a bug,  as soon as I exit from Castle Semayi to the main map the game freezes, if I use the emergency teleport then I can go and trigger other events but if I then try to enter the main map the aforementioned happens. I also have a question will there be a google doc game guide set up, so that players can more easily determine what quest can be progressed at what times and where to locate certain more difficult-to-find quest starts and objectives

I'lleventually add a proper guide but in the meantime there is also a list of non/completable quests inside your castle. As for the game freeze can you maybe send me your save file on twitter or tell me about your story choices there because I have no idea why that would happen.

when checking my quest completed list to answer your questions, over the quest management complaints the game shows an error code in JSON management,  but I have completed the following:

Main Quest: Sleepy Time; Search for the mysterious; Discovering your destiny; Claiming your heritage; Expansion Fantasy; Assault on Castle Semayi

Side Quest; Missing business, missing work; Friendly Mission Work; Missing friends, shared misery; Interrupting the Disruptors; Pirate's Life for some; Recruiting followers (orcish tribes); Spooky Scary Skeletons; Management Complaints; Lones Survivor; Twilight Dilemma; Couple's Therapy; Towers and Deserters; My kingdom for some wood; The Visionary Knights are here; Kind Furious Chicken; His Precious Cabbages; The Twilight Company; Stranger Things; Nature vs Profits; Local Murder Mystery; Elvish Prisoners in Need; Invictux the self-sustain; Dangerous Mining; Elite Minecrafter; A Manager in Need; Elvish Troubles

Character Quest: The caged cage fighter; Helping out a friendly scout; Experimental Subject; Extended Family; Stalking Shadows; Sweet Barber; A scout's honor; Rewards of pleasure

I have recruited the following followers: Yuratox, Sierra, Baetylis, Vu Nu Thoaty, Sarimorvayra, Automaton XG22, Chlo'et'ak, Erot-icka, Yseultj,  Covkyu, Blyke, Xeturxa,  Urokksha II.

As for anomalies I was unable to capture Hazard Punk because the man who states "fuck off" was always in the way, I am unsure if other anomalies occurred as I have not played the game since its first release.

For choices, I often choose the most peaceful route or the one that could be considered the most ethical and where the more good people could be helped, and I chose to marry the princess and follow her advice. x

I will also admit to playing with the code a little by changing and maxing the values of all stats through the weapons, I also gave myself a lot of gold through save editing, But those are the only two things I've changed I altered no variables or switches. I would send you a save but I never use social media, it was bad enough to set up website accounts to work on games and report bugs.

First of all, thanks for the input. I definitely appreciate the comment, especially if you don't usually set up accounts. As for your Hazard punk issue it might be because you used an older save if you started with an earlier version. Before the last update I playtested most of the available content myself and I don't have any problem with the guy who's blocking the way initially. Also, changing values like stats really shouldn't be a big deal and I'm still not sure what could cause the game freeze. If I'm not forgetting something right now you should also have almost every available companion at the moment. I'm sorry if I can't be of further assistance right now but I'd really appreciate hearing from you again once the next update comes out or if you start a new game perhaps. Once something else comes up or you have more feedback, report or suggestions please don't hesitate to post them again. Even if I can't necessarily work on them immediately I'll take notice and try to fix things as soon as possible. Either way, thanks again and please look forward to the next update which I'm trying to release by May.

Hey, I read your post and looked at my save data, it was taken from my first from my first version of the game it appears that there was a slight bug that caused my approval to be set to 100 with all factions causing the game to freeze when there was a check for the approval to display dialogue since there was no dialogue for the range of complete approval. All sorted out now, thank you. Looking forward to your next release.

I was incorrect, the problem is not all solved, I ran through it again without hacking at all, and after completing all available quests prior to the assault it happened again, locked up on exiting to the main map from Castle Semayi after the assault. I still think it seems to have something to do with the approval rating of the people when you complete enough quests that they don't riot.

Okay, I think that's something I can work with I remember changing the approval requirement once because initially you had to complete all side quests in the region and choose the peaceful option for the people not to riot, so I reduced it a bit maybe that's really it. Although a dialogue should trigger at the very least that's why it still confuses me why it would just freeze. Anyway, I'll have a look later today but I probably still won't be able to update the game before May. Once again sorry for the inconvenience but I'm glad to hear about issues. Also, before I forget I might as well ask. Besides the issues how do you like the game so far? Thanks for playing.....

I like it a lot, there is a lot to take in and as I said before some quest progression can be unclear, but it has been very good even with the occasional bugs. I think that right now the story poses some very intriguing questions for the path yet to come, which will keep me coming back just like one of my favorites "Renryuu Ascension". All in all, it is very good so far and I think the one big problem you have is currently a lack of monetary donors thus restricting the amount of time and resources that you can devote to the game, but that being said I feel that maybe finding some current players who would be willing to help you pro bono without taking wanting to try and creative control from you. Personally, I would offer but I lack many skills in coding save for jury-rigging solutions that then have to cancel out once the situation is routed, the only thing I would be able to help with other than that is spell-checking because I have the ASD diagnosis formerly known as Asperger's syndrome and can read around 350 words a minute in English and an English vocabulary of around 70,000 words. I am willing to do so for free quite happily it if would ease your workload, also If you know the file location of a bug then I could probably look through the code till I find the errant line for you. I would also recommend asking other creators of similar productions if they would be willing to promote your game and vice versa in order to help drum up more business for everyone I have seen it work wonders. 

just re-read that and it seems much more offensive and aggressive than it was meant to be, sorry, you and your team do great work keep it up!

Don't worry it didn't sound agressive to me at all and I really like your ideas. I might even take you up on that offer, especially for spell checking because I know in the early stuff I didn't check spelling as much as I probably should have. The only thing that bothers me sometimes quite a bit is whenever I have a look at the analytics and see that my first the releases had the most downloads but naturally those also had the least content and are way buggier in comparison to now. Same with funding for the game, there was a period of time where I had some respectable income that I always used to commission new artwork. More importantly I'm still very grateful to everyone who's donated so far, especially my former patreons if they happen to read this xD. As for the team it's basically just myself even though at first I had someone who helped with implementing the plugins and get the game working in the first place. I remember having some popular-ish posts on reddit and twitter but it never translated to a increase in followers but something that does hype me up is the fact that two reviewers follow me on twitter and one of them said she was going to do a review eventually. By the way can you maybe tell me your approval rating with the Semayi people, then I can compare it with my game-testing save file. Thanks again and I'm looking forward to hear from you again.
