The game has already been optimized to the best of my abilities, sorry! You may need a stronger PC to run the game, since it was built to run on mid-tier PCs rather than laptops or older hardware.

There are no more updates planned for the game, as for patches, maaaaaaybe in the future if need be? Mostly reluctant to because the project is such a hassle to package and upload builds.

Ey, I appreciate the thought! While I would love to release this game on more platforms like Steam, even after the update, I'm still a bit reluctant with releasing it on there. Basically I'm waiting for the one game I feel like will do really well on Steam to be my first debut Steam title. Might be a Strange Terror game or a different original game, only time will tell!

Click the download button, and if you wish to skip past the donation screen, click the "no thanks, just take me to the download" button, then download the game. Once installed, use an unzipping program like 7zip or Winrar to unzip the .rar, then you should be able to launch the game within the folder.

It's a bizarre rare bug that occurs for some users, mostly due to the save file somehow corrupting. Go to AppData\Local\AtC_BB\Saved\SaveGames and move or delete the .sav file, start a newgame to create a new save game, quit, replace the new .sav file with your old one if you decided to move it rather than deleting it and it should function properly now. Deleting the .sav usually fixes it more often than trying to replace the new one with the old .sav. Cause there is a chance your save isn't wiped, it might be recoverable if you see it there and there is a chance that replacing the new save with your old one can recover your progrtess. But if it doesn't work, then deleting the save and starting over will usually fix it. Hopefully this helps!

Most game developers compress their files using a zipping program such as winrar to reduce the file size. Makes it easier to upload and quicker to download for the user.

I just released this game a couple weeks ago, lol.

The game will remain Windows only, sorry! Also 4AM was not forgotten, it was skipped intentionally for story purposes.

Use an application like 7zip or Winrar to unzip the .rar folder.

I have plans to finish up a large update for this game sometime this year, it will add lots of new content and fix a lot of old bugs and gripes I had with the game personally. Really sorry it won't be for awhile tho, I've been super busy with my current projects. D:

Dave.EXE will be a full game released onto Itchio and Gamejolt in the future, it won't be associated with a bundle.

Oof, thought I patched that before the game released. Guess it still somehow slipped in, lol. I'll try and release a patch for it soon!

To achieve S rank, you have to grab everything in one go. You can slowly collect all the items if you wanted to, but you'll be missing the ace.

I need to make a living man, lol.

Use Winrar or 7zip to unzip the .rar folder. If you're referring to the game not launching, unfortunately there's nothing I can do about that, may be a problem on your end. If you're getting any sort of error message or crash report, let me know and I may be able to help.

Dave.EXE isn't a fangame of DBD, it's main gameplay mechanic is inspired by DBD but that's as far as that goes. As for the price tag, it's still to be determined but it won't be free.

Yeah, he's designed to hunt you down relentlessly. He's slower than others, so use that to your advantage and keep moving.

Did you have a save file before this happened? Is it not letting you start a newgame?

I'd reckon you read through this post https://itch.io/post/3246092, but in case you didn't, go to AppData\Local\AtC_BB\Saved\SaveGames and move the .sav file out of there, put it somewhere like your desktop, then start a newgame to create a new save game, quit, replace the new .sav file with your old one and it should function properly now. To find your appdata folder, type %appdata% in your search bar and it should pop up.

Type %appdata% in your search bar, you'll find the folder.

Ah okay, I was hoping dropping it back in would work, wasn't 100% sure on that. But if you can at least start a new game then I'd just do that. Glad I could help tho!

Around the Clock is not supported for Chromebook, it's Windows only.

No mobile versions will be developed. My games will remain Windows only, sorry!

Hey there, that was not the reason why you were banned from the discord server. You were banned for continuing to be very demandy towards me and other members of the server consistently for the past few months, will not listen nor understand whenever we told you to stop and continued to disrupt the peace of the server. Sorry dude, but a ban is a ban, hope ya understand.

Not gonna spend hundreds of dollars for a Mac just to port a free game to it, lol. Just get a Windows PC, it's more efficient for gaming.

Click the big button that says download, have winrar installed on your PC so you can right click the .rar and select extract, open the folder and play.

Please refrain from spamming in the comments section, if I don't see your question, don't expect me to respond to it if you keep repeating it and pushing other legitimate comments down below.

A 32 bit version is no longer planned for release, the game is 100% complete, I can't fix any errors you may be encountering launching the game, sorry mate.

fangames/parody games such as this one are free, yeah. If I charged for it, I'd be in big trouble, lol.

You need to complete the Krusty Krab on the second difficulty to unlock the good noodle star. Rookie of the Day does not count towards level progression.

1. When you take a few steps into the room, both gloveys will spawn in to ambush you. 2. Unfortunately a 32 bit version is unlikely to ever release since I couldn't seem to get it to function everytime I tried to package it. Sorry for the inconvenience! D:

AtC will not be getting a sequel. The "To Be Continued" is mostly referring to Berry's story being continued in an update for Strange Terror From the Deep.

Your save file should transfer over to the newer versions of the game without a hitch. It's not tied to your game's folder, since your save is located in your appdata.

If that doesn't work, then I'm not quite sure how to help ya there. D:

Around the Clock at Bikini Bottom's story is 100% finished, no future content updates or sequels are planned at this time.

Unfortunately 32 bit builds don't function properly with this game, so it will have to remain as a 64 bit package, sorry!

It's basically a teaser for STFTD's new update about Berry the Bear's story that I'll most likely release this year. Strange Terror From the Deep is an original game I released onto my Itchio and Gamejolt page back in January of 2019. It's completely unrelated to Around the Clock at Bikini Bottom.

Oof, I haven't got a clue then why it's bugging out like that for ya. Sorry I can't really help ya out on this one.

Some users have encountered this, it's mostly due to the save file somehow corrupting. Go to AppData\Local\AtC_BB\Saved\SaveGames and remove the .sav file in there, then start a newgame and it should function normally. If that doesn't work, then I'm not quite sure how to help ya there. D:
