Hey Jimbob! Hi, how are you? I hope you had a good Halloween Night!

I just released the version 1.7.1, so, the bug you mentioned should be now fixed I’ve improved a lot the autosave system trough the phases, however I recommend save your currnet phase in one of the three save slots every some time, after beating a phase, or something like that.

Also, I’ve added the feature that you requested some time ago, so, now while using / moving the soul if you hold the key “X” now, the velocity of the soul reduces, so you can control better!

I’ll lock this topic after your reponse, and, I hope you like this update, let’s pray to not see more bugs haha (this doesn’t mean that, if you found one, and if you want, to tell about an unknown bug…).

And that’s all! Tell me anything when you can. 👍

Good morning, afternoon, or evening, everyone at Itch.io! I hope you are well and that you are having or have had a Happy Halloween!

Update 1.7.1 is finally here, and as those who read our community posts will already know, this update is quite small.

Among the main changes are massive improvements to auto-save points. Now, the game saves more consistently to avoid errors between phase transitions.

This update also brings the new mechanic requested by JimbobGamer, which consists of the player pressing the “X” button/key while controlling the soul, which will reduce its speed, making it more precise to control in certain attacks.

I have tried to assign a speed that is neither too slow nor too fast, so that the differences in speed can be noticed and the player does not get frustrated with it being too slow.

And really, those would be all the changes and new features in the new version. As of today, there are no known bugs in the game, so that’s PRETTY GOOD.

In a few days, I’ll publish a new post with game updates, among other things that I want to tell you about that are VERY IMPORTANT for the future of the game… So stay tuned!

Happy Halloween! You are the best community on all of Itch.io!

Hi Jimbob! I’ve been testing the Phase 5 and yes, that bug exists (obv), but it’s very hard to get :|

To cause this bug, as you said, you need to die JUST AFTER see the phase 5 intro and also, you need to have an updated-wrong autosave currently while you’re dying, in your case the autosave was pointing to the phase 2, so, again, mixing all of this, causing this bug it’s difficult, but not imposible as we’re discovering.

Whoever, I improved the autosave system to save during the intro of the phase 5 and later… As I said some days ago, you have an special ability to find bugs haha, I don’t know how to thank you sincerely.

So, yes, the bug you reported it’s now fixed. Now, the next steps are related with the addition of the feature you suggested in the reply of yesterday and the update 1.7.1 should be coming around next week (probably by the end of the week aprox).

If you had an suggestion, or feature you want to add, you can make a post for it, don’t be shy! We all can improve the game together.

That would be all Jimbob! 👍

Hi Jimbob! Yes, that’s the internal number that uses the game to refer to the phases, so, for example, the phase 9 equals the phase 5 (if I’m remember right), or for example, the phase 1 equals 0, it can be confusing…

But, perhaps I can change the number reference or the way the numbers are shown to not confuse the player.

So, that’s not a bug don’t worry 👍👍

Hi Jimbob! The phases are unlocked in the gallery in real time! When you advance on the game the gallery does the same.

By the phase higher than 6… What phase do you mean? The last phase or the last one you could unlock before the save system failed (phase 5) ?

Hi Jimbob! Well that’s VERY strange, the slot save system it’s fine, so the error might be on the autosave system.

The slot save system saves your current phase, but if the game currently it’s picking the wrong phase it’s normal that the slot save system it’s wrong…

Whoever today I’m going to see what’s happen I’ll tell you more tomorrow 👍

Okay, perfect, I’ll check when I can the autosave system from that specific part of the game to see what’s happening

Also, when you finish an important phase or you’re going to take a break or something try to save in one of the slots your current phase to make sure you don’t lose your progress.

You can do that (while being in-game) pressing one time ESC (this will sent you to the main menu) or closing the game while fighting and open it again

Mmmm, yes, it’s a very good idea!

I’ll add that feature in THE NEXT PATCH (1.7.1) instead of 1.8.0 that can be added without adding the shop! 👍

So, thanks for your idea Jimbob!

If I add the shop, I would add items like, for example, a shield that protects you from the first touch of a one-hit attack or another item that lets you slow time or something.

Also, I’m going to use you ask you something. I was planning a new feature in the game, like a new zone in the main menu that opens an store in which you will be able to buy items and upgrades for the gameplay for the update 1.8.0.

That update I don’t know when will be released (or if it will be released because of my situation) but, if im able to improve my situation, What do you think about this new brand feature coming to the game in future updates?

(The update 1.7.1 which will be the update dedicated to fix the bug you’ve reported won’t have this shop zone)

Tell me what you think when you can👍

Hi Jimbob!

As always thank you for reporting theese bugs, sometimes I think you have an special ability to detect or find bugs haha. I played that phase a lot of times and It didn’t happen to me.

But as always I’ll check it out to fix that bug as soon as possible.

Have you saved your game at slot 1, 2 or 3, before that bug happened ? And also, after that experience, if you try to open the game again, in which phase are you, in the second or the five?

Finally, I’m sorry for the difficult of that phase it’s the most difficult phase in the whole game. I’m already nerf that phase several times, but there still attacks that kill you at one touch, like the axes or the floating head that trow you things.

If you are able to pass the phase 5, the next phase believe it’s going be a lot easier (and the final one)

Hey Jimbob! I’m glad you make it pass phase 3! I just saw your new topic, I’ll lock this topic already because this issue was fixed👍

Hi Jimbob!

I just released the new update 1.7.0 that fixes that awful bug finally!

Sorry for taking so long to update the game, some other people also reported this bug and I should have update the game earlier… However it’s still better later than never haha.

This new update fixes a lot of bugs, improves the autosaving system and nerf some attacks of some phases.

I’ve been testing the game, from the first phase to the last one searching for soft-locking bugs, and I didn’t find any..

But, If you find a new bug or something that can looks like one, please don’t doubt on tell me about it as always 👍

Thanks for your comments and your patience, people like you are awesome.

I’ll lock this topic in 4 days because this issue was fixed, so, the next 4 days are some type of margin for you to reply something if you want👍

Hey Cyber Bacon!

As you requested I’ve made the “dancing trolls” smaller, making all the attacks related with them more easier!

They are now 5% smaller than in the previous versions of the game, I didn’t want to make them more smaller because will be too easier for the early parts of the game

So, thats all, I hope you liked this change👍

Thanks for your feedback, If you have another request someday, pleas tell me, I like reading your comments😄

I’ll lock this topic in 2 days because this issue was fixed, so, the next 2 days are some type of margin for you to reply something if you want

Hi bug report! This issue has been finally fixed due to the release of 1.7.0 updat, that was released yesterday.

Sorry for taking so long to update the game, and also, thanks for your comment👍

I’ll lock this topic in 2 days because this issue was fixed, so, the next 2 days are some type of margin for you to reply something if you want

Hey ginner! I’m glad to tell you that this bug was fixed with the brand new update that was released yesterday 👍

Again, thanks for your feedback, theese comments help making the game a lot better!

After a long wait… UPDATE 1.7.0 FOR UNDERTALE THE SOULS INCIDENT PLUS HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED!

Sorry for the delay, this new update, also known as the TECH UPDATE, is similar to the previous update in terms of content. If you want an explanation for my absence, please see the previous devlog, where I explain in detail what happened. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Well, let’s get to the changes.

Game changes:

• The bug reported by JimbobGamer has been fixed.
• Some things related to cheats have been modified.
• Some previously unknown visual errors in the menu have been fixed.
• Several errors related to the save system have been fixed.
• The custom stage change/selection system (cheat) has been fixed and now works correctly.
• Some minor details have been added to the game gallery.
• Some details have been added to the Music Room.

That’s all the changes!

I know that maybe it’s not that much content, and that maybe you were expecting more new content, but, as I said in the previous post, due to the problems I encountered, I haven’t been able to devote much time to the game, plus this game is basically complete. The only area that could be radically improved is the Android port, which I’m thinking of possibly improving… But anyway, let’s not talk about that yet.

Thank you all so much for continuing to support this game! Thank you!

Hey ginner! I’m really sorry about this.

This it’s a known bug about the current version of the game, in a few days I’ll release a new version that will fix this bug, and also will improve the save system between some phases, so, stay tuned :)

Also, I’m very sorry for the late response, Itch.io normally notifies me, about new posts :/

Hey bugreport! Yeah, it’s a known bug and I’m very sorry about this!

In a few days I’m going to release a new version in which I fix this bug, so don’t worry! Thanks for your post!

Sorry for the late response, Itch.io normally notifies me, about new posts and your post was peding to aprove for an unknown reason :|

Hey Cyber Bacon! Sure, I can nerf them without problem. I’ll reduce their size 👍

Also, thank you for your feedback!

Sorry for the late response, Itch.io normally notifies me, about new posts :/

Thanks a lot Jimbob!

I’ll test out this version enough so you can play perfectly without bugs 👍

Hi Jimbob! Long time no see! How are you?

In a few days, I’ll be releasing a new version of the game that fixes the bug you reported a while back. You’ve probably forgotten that the game even existed with all the time that’s passed, haha.

Nah, joking aside, I’m really sorry for the delay in updating the game to this new version that fixes the bug you reported. Let’s just say I haven’t had a good year.

I hope you can try out the version that will be released in a few days when you get a chance! 👍

Cheers, and let me know when you get a chance!

Hey RacerKing! We have good news! The board faction it’s now available! Also, I made a port of the game to linux and macOS using the Ruffle flash emulator and Electron if interested!

Edit: I deleted the old replies about this comment where I said that this wasn’t going to be possible…

Thanks for your comment! But also for your patience!!

Hi JimBob! Thanks for asking, sorry for not having announced anything, but I’ve barely been able to make any progress on the new version of the game, these months I’m ENOUGH busy and barely have time for anything, I have a few projects in process, some academic and some for fun and that hopefully you will see in a couple of months if all goes well (nothing is confirmed) and that’s why I have not been able to make any progress on the next version of the game 🫤.

Sorry for the inconvenience and sorry for getting back to you so late. I can’t say an exact date about when I’ll be able to release a new version of the game….

I hope that by June I will be able to have some free time for this 🗿.

And most of all thank you so much for caring and still being interested in the game👍👍.

Yeah I understand what you mean, don’t worry.

I’m glad you liked it!

As I said earlier, I’ll try to fix it as soon as possible👍

Hi Jimbob! Glad to see you again. Thanks for reporting. I though that there was no bugs anymore… Well, I’ll try to fix this in this week thanks for reporting as always!!

Also I hope that you liked your custom menu!
