I progressed with merida to the point of having nothing else to say to her.
I also have only played the newest version, and the only thing I've gotten from the shadowman has been the map and money.
There's a scene in the gallery that seems to be on a boat with coconuts or monkeys? Brown, round stuff. I can't really tell since I can't zoom in.
Ah- those are Kakamora, the little coconut guys from Moana’s movie. That scene is shown if you fail the map-building puzzle on the sailing map.
Next- are you playing version 0.41 or 0.45? I just noticed today that I erroneously wrote the change log for the Patrons-only version of the game on itch instead of the version that’s attached, so it’s possible that the Tarzan/Merida scene is in a later version of the game.
As for the Shadowman problem, I’ll have to check if it’s a bug preventing the storyline from triggering. If so, I’ll get right on releasing a patch for that.
