Thanks you for your fast response. Would be cool if the new size has the same quality, but honestly I doubt it. If you didn't use completely uncompressed bmps or pngs before and now changed that there is no chance pictures can be reduced in size that much without quality loss.

But on way or another: I am interested to hear the result of your inspection.

Project Cat and Payper Lily were amazing!!!!

Never saw something like this here on itch before. Sure, some VNs are very good - and some are more interactive than others, but never there were such a big adventure game available here for what I know.

The atmosphere is the best. The decent horror effects alternated with calm places, combined with the music and retro-looking map create an atmosphere, extremely popular games reached about 10-20 years ago. Hell, some of the secret passages and endings are really difficult to find but give the game the extra spice. I can't believe it was done only by two people.

Please make sure the story continues. Never had such a good game for  a very long time. As soon it will be released, I'll play it!

How comes version 0.8.2 (2.24GB) is so small in size compared to 0.8 (4.24GB)? Did the developer cut out material (or reduce the resolution quality) or is 0.8.2 only a patch and we need it along 0.8,... or should it be really a (much much) better algorithm/filetype efficiency?

Does anyone know something about this?

Doubt the dev will answer here regularly. But maybe I can help you, it's always the same with Mega free download quota:

I heard some people say (wink) that VPN should allow you to 'reset' the daily limit. Just try enough connections to get an IP which quota is still full. I recommend ProtonVPN cause its free. Hide.me is very slow but also free - and no account needed.

Hey Fouzi, can you show me the WAV source file that you used in Happiness 2 at the end (Radwimps なんでもないや piano theme)? It's not a question about copyright, but I like this alteration even more then the original song and just want to know whether there is a WAV/FLAC version of it anywhere. I cannot find it by just searching for it online (there is only the original guitar version I don't need that one).

Thank you. Looking forward to the patch then.

BTW: I played tons of games on itch now (Renpy) and I've to say your are definitely one of the best. Unique story and almost no one has such great art with such rendering and good amount of 3D effect.

Addition: Found another bug (at least seems like a real one): After chapter 3 "ends" (dont want to spoiler anything), I got asked to continue (pressed that button), but the next scene (you know what I mean) is not interactive anymore - you cannot progress by left clicking (so far it could have been done by intention). But when I try to rewind one frame and re-do, there happens an fatal error with the typical real RenPy error screen. That's why I know this to be a real bug. Of course, I could call the unlocked part of chapter 3 from main menu instead from saving point, I want to let you know about this.

Thanks for the sequel. I just began to play.

But I have to report a bug directly at the menu:

Playing chapter 3 makes it appear in the loading slot from chapter 1 too (probably they were meant to be separated so that only saves from the current chapter are shown in the load-menu of chapter 1,2 and 3).

For real now?!

Fix: Reinstall your complete GPU suite (AMD/Nvidia/Intel) which causes the driver to being repaired as well.

Maybe its not the same version of the game.

Mostly, RenPy can only loads save data that made by the same game version. If you update the game version (which you do to get the latest chapters), it's not guaranteed the old ones can be loaded. It's a function the dev has to implement carefully and only few devs get this done without any problems.

[Little Spoiler of "DDLC" and" Historia"]:

Other games, like "DDLC" or "Historia" have a intended self-destroying mechanism that destroys your progress when you hit a bad end, but in this game it shouldn't be the case.

For Windows, its in inside
%AppData%\Renpy\
Just copy it to the new computer in the exact same location and re-run the game, your saves will be there.

It's me again.

Wow, absolutely stunning!!! Never I played a game which such a great "interactive" talk to the player (just finished Happiness 1 and Happiness 2 - those two and Null which I started with, like so many others how I know now). How you anticipate the readers thoughts, rejecting certain choices and give every character a deeper meaning, divine! You definitely have great abilities in reflecting your own creations like an "observer" (haha) - no honestly, perfect empathy!

Plus, the story is exciting. Yeah, it was Null which attracted me originally - but now I am eager to learn the whole metaverse of Happiness.

Sometimes I am sad about the stories not being longer or lack of simple black-and-white vision so that I can blame only one characters as the evil and being proud the MC never makes bad choices on his own. But that's how real life is working, isn't it? I can only assume that every person in the game (even the butterfly entity) maybe have honorable  or at least reasonable motives - to make it more difficult for us to pick one solely mastermind that is responsible for all that trouble.

I also have to praise you for a healthy mix of good and bad events in the games, at least until now (cant say for the games I still have to play).

Some of the music could be better sometimes (speakig of the electronic ones), but maybe its just because of me being spoiled by great companys infinite budget set. And then there are unexpected welcome surprises again, like Radwimps variation theme at the end of Happiness 2 - nobody of us would dare to draw a line towards Kimi no Na wa here, absolutely not! It took a minute or so to verifying me not imaging things. Powerful timetravel vibes, for sure!

Okay, now I'll continue playing, just wanted to let you know about my positive experiences.

Thank you soooooooo much for the sequel! Finally!

I'll have to finish one or two other games first but only to focus on yours then all the more.

I'll do, they're just awesome!

I spent some more time in it and found my Avast ransomware protection to be the culprit. Like it seems it does not allow alteration to games sav files once the process was not the one who created it, which is all but the first time od starting the game.

That means you dont need to investigate time. I have to make an exclusion for Avast here. But thanks.

I have to report a heavy bug in this game. Every new PC restart the engine in "Happiness 2 remastered" shows a blackscreen (windowed) only. I have to delete/rename/move "Happiness_2_sf.sav" to make it start again but then my save slots can not be overriden anymore. To reenable saving I have to delete both SAV files and start over. This happens every day. I don't know about the next versions but Happiness 1 did not have this problem.

Maybe you could look into this, Fouzi?

Hey Komisari, I just want to inform you that Cloudflare DNS servers started to blocking your entire profile here on itch. Which is strange, because no other NSFW site here on itch is blocked.

Maybe you want to tell Cloudflare to stop that? I mean, for myself I can switch to another DNS but other people might think that your page would be shut down completely...

Thanks, will do

I bought the full bundle a few years ago.
But the later versions are not included - do I have to pay each time again for the latest versions of the bundle?

Yeah, no rush - its a free project and most people do it in their spare time. I really appreciate your work.
But sometimes a serious time schedule helps.

E.g. how should we know which August you mean? Last year it said August too...

The third episode was anounced last year. Then before 7 months testing was initiated. Debugging for 7 months is a bit hard to believe, so for the time being there is no update.

Huh, what update?

Last dev change was on May 06, 2023

Its "AWESOME"! NINJAKIWI calls its game like THIs.

but you know what: actually awesome is when it runs with neither register nor having infinite error messages about flash not supported or dll missing

why private people always have to repair those things?!

nvm: really, really great work! :)

Will definitely try. Might take a while cause I have lots of games to test before but I was really fond of Inciting Incident and the story ended with a cliffhanger, so I am interested :)

I am very interested in this too.

Yes, I know. But this was not Defender but Avast. A good indicator might be VirusTotal, for my programs there are false positives too lots of times. Then I have to contact the AV vendors to make them whitelist the file.

Oh, I missed. It got quarantined by my antivirus.

That's kinda strange, actually it never happened before that a Renpy project was flagged as malware to me.

Maybe you could recompile it and check against false positives on VirusTotal?

Do you perhaps forgot to compile the app as an standalone executable in version 0.1.6?

People like me who aren't familiar with renpy programming would have a hard time to use DiskClick with only the script files.

Jimmy golden age!
And instead of a harem of girls only this chicken would have been left, oh and the Quints. 😁

I bet the other parallel universe's Komisari is angry we spill the beans so permissive. So I stop here for now.

I wonder if there might exist a parallel universe where Komisari has already finished the game :D

Just want to mention: Flash saves under Microsoft Windows are in dir %AppData%\Macromedia\ . Make sure to save the whole Flash Player folder in a safe place and then you can import it back anytime. BTW: You did not need to have the software "Adobe Flash Player" be installed to make it work, neither for IE, nor Chrome, nor Firefox - the standalone projector is enough (portable and continue to work in any windows OS).

99,5% of all flash games are playable with standaloine projector v.32, but some of mateuszskutnik games need standaloine projector v.10 to work, like Submachine 6.

Are you contemplate 'just' easter eggs or an actual sequel of EGC by the term 'surprise'?

The dev should really post this fix not only on Discord but here too. Its more than 3 years now we acknowledged of this one.

Workaround/Fix:

Launch the game, press SHIFT + G, change the renderer to ANGLE and then restart the game for the change to take effect. Now the Evie scene does not cause a crash any longer.

Not until now, AFAIK.

I'd looking forward to this too, especially with Lucy or Sunny. 

Actually there weren't any update since July, 2024 - after that only a notice from the dev about changing concept. Version 0.2.8 is not available for free.

Come on guys, dont be too hard on Caribdis. His only attention was to treat us something nice. Besides, the game is free - official there is no money taken away from anyone. Copyright is a law, but hell, its a shame it has to target even free art. And this game is art, the best I have ever seen! So sad for the music to be gone...

I absolutely loved these little (very vague) jump scares! They are the extra spices in the story for me. Hopefully Komisari will produce much more of them...
