The gallery is only on the $10+ Patreon tiers, so as long as you download the correct version there, it's unlocked by default.

Glad you enjoy it so much and have put so much time into it!  I totally get some folks being annoyed with Richard and his behavior, but that's just a big downside to 1 day at a time updates.  Gotta wait and see how things play out!

Uhhh, I need to read back over the stuff with the job.  It's tied to something else, and I rewrote how some of that stuff is presented and plays out (so that might depend on how long it's been since you saw that).

I think there's too much cum in ExcA for it to be on the Xbox, bahahaha

Ah, a messed up variable there, hah.  I have a variable for that, but it seems I goofed up.  I'll have to take a look!

Hey, Relond.  That dialog -does- exist within the game.  He's playing the Patreon build (most likely a leaked one, as he's already made it clear he probably wouldn't support VIA Patreon).  The chosen point isn't so much repeated dialog but just a repeated word that's easily remedied.  I know I have a habit of repeating words like that, and I might not notice until I'm reading things over at a late date, bahaha.

Also, you should try and dial back your behavior.  I can appreciate that you're passionate about all of this, but it's starting to come off as childish in some instances and only feeds into one of his earlier comments about the fans       (another odd comment, since you don't usually see that here either, but that's whatever).

I appreciate you enjoying the project and such, but it's probably best just to let this conversation go.  It's not really helping anything at this point, and people are better off screaming into the void.  I'll take things I've found useful and think about it, but there's no reason to keep this going anymore.

 

Ahh, that is unfortunate.  I had someone else with a similar issue years ago, and it took us forever to figure out just what the problem was.  I hate that it happened, but I'm glad it wasn't something more severe.

Just make use of the skip dialog option to speed through stuff you've already read!

You didn't save on the "Dev Notes" dialog at the very end, did you?  If you try to load from there, it won't work.

Otherwise, you can try deleting the file and downloading it again.  Make sure you start the correct download too.  There shouldn't be any reason for it not to move on, otherwise.

When I first released those epilogues, I left them unlocked so people could see them in case there had been issues with their save files.  A recent update I did, I turned on the unlock variable, so you have to have completed their best route endings to unlock the epilogues.

That button is supposed to be disabled in public builds, oops.  That's bonus content that's only on Patreon builds.

Haha, no, you're fine!  I'll have to look at too, cause even now, to me, that sounds odd!  Harodl's route -was- the first one I did, and that was right around the time when I FINALLY lived somewhere that had one, bahaha

Well, the comment about putting gay men in straight/bisexual situations.  

All of the things you listed play with the characters' story and their personalities.  Spencer likes dancing/stripping, so the audience for him doesn't matter.  He just gets more out of it when it's men praising/watching him.  Chester's straight friends, who thought he was also straight, put him in a really bad situation.  They didn't know he was gay and forced that on him.  Dozer, I don't really get where you're going with his and how that plays into the straight/bi thing.  Darius is just sex-positive and all for that kind of stuff.  He can appreciate the male and female body.  Ladies don't do it for him, but he's definitely gonna support the situation.  I also don't really see the issue with watching soft-core porn, especially when it goes on to talk about the strange plot and attractive male lead.  Like, why can't a gay man enjoy something like that in some way? 

I am a 100% gay man here, and I, personally, don't see any problem with gay guys being in these kinds of situations.  I just thought it was a weird thing to comment on.  Reminded me a lot of this guy in the past that -really- hates seeing bisexual guys in the VN.

There are deeefinitely a variety of things I can write better and go back to rework and give the players more choices on how they interact with characters.  I'd rather them not be put in situations they don't like, especially if it's not exactly relevant.

Your comment about dishwashers though...  What do you mean?  I didn't actually have one for most of my life, so maybe that comes across in a weird way that I'm not aware of, hah

Phew, that's a lot to take in there.  I won't respond to each point, but there's some stuff in here that's accurate, I'm sure. 

I haven't read some of the routes from start to finish in a long time, so keeping up with repeated dialog over the 200+ days can be a pain.  Sometimes I play it off as the characters forgetting, but other times it's just me forgetting.  I mean, I've been the only writer for over 8 years, so I'm bound to forget, hah.

You know, it's funny, cause Chester's dad didn't even have a design till long after Chester's route was done.  I never really planned to introduce him (cause most of what I write isn't planned).  It just kinda happened in a spot I thought worked.  I also had my qualms about the epilogue for the exact reason you mentioned, buuuut at the same time, I still felt like it highlighted Chester and how their relationship has progressed.  I honestly struggled with his epilogue though, so it might be something I revisit in the future.

Not everything you have gripes about is without warrant, but I think some of it's weird. Some things I might never think about since it's not pointed out. Either way, it's feedback to think about!  Things can definitely be improved still~

...no.

I answered on Patreon too, but you don't have to wait for anything to arrive.  You get access to the posts titled "Update ## with Gallery", and those posts contain the links to updates.

Can you post a screen shot of what it tells you?

You should just be able to go to your Library on itch and download it now.

Are you getting an error or...?  We can't help you without more information than what you've provided.

Don't use the itch app.  Just download the game directly and install it without using the app.  

Nobody ever ends up sad and lonely!  There's always someone (even if I don't explicitly state it in routes!)

I've never had Chinese subtitles, so whatever you downloaded isn't something I'm aware of.

All the content will be in the final release!  I really don't like doing Patreon-exclusive content, but with a constant decline in support over the last year, I figured I needed to try something.  If it doesn't prove to be effective though... we'll see how future public releases entail!

Yes!  Things are definitely better, and here's hoping things keep improving after he gets a big upcoming injection!

Always glad to see Dwayne love, haha.

And we'll see how things go with Daniel!  He is acting pretty sus though...

Shoot me a message on Patreon, and I'll let you know what's up!

Thank you so much for the kind words!  Really makes me happy to hear it =3

Thank you, Makato!  I really appreciate hearing that.  It's that kind of boost that I really need, so  again, thank you for that!

Thank you so much~

Thanks for checking out the project!  

 If you encounter any bugs or other issues, you can leave a post here about it! Thank you, folks!

If you downloaded the old demo before we posted the updated one (01-11-24 is the newest one), and you have issues with Saving/Loading your game in the full build (or new demo), please try deleting the game data from the old demo!

To find that data, navigate here >> C:\Users\NAME\AppData\LocalLow\WolfBite Interactive\Engaging Destiny

Delete the contents of that folder to remove the old demo data, then try running the updated builds.

Thank you so much for the kind words!  I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed this little story =3

The ring is... deep in the mines.  You end up going over to the right, then down, then to the left and through a door, I think.  (It's been a while since I've played it myself now, bahaha)

The potato is found in Galanor in the empty house~

As for the armor, you -are- supposed to return it to the closet before he wakes up for the accolade, so that's something we'll need to look at.

How silly.  We'll be taking a look at it!

If you were to look at the scene in Extras, does it show correctly there?

You used to get a message about nobody liking you, and the game would start over, bahaha.  It's not like that anymore, and you end up on a route no matter what happens.

Hey, thank you so much for taking the time out to leave this comment for me to read.  It really makes me glad to know that the project has helped you so much like that, and it just adds so much more fulfillment to what I do.

As it stands right now, Harold's route is done. There is more content to come that involves him, but his overall story is finished.

Northernmost part of Faranel, the area where the bathhouse and blacksmith are.

THank you so much!  Glad to hear you enjoyed it =3  We'll definitely see more of them in the future!  I can't say -how-, but we will see them again~

Thanks for checking out the project!  

 If you encounter any bugs or other issues, you can leave a post here about it! Thank you, folks!
