Thanks. Sorry, I’m not going to say anything about the endings for now. I can only say that there will be several.

Yes. Read the main page

Hi. Right now I can’t say exactly when I’ll release the update. To be honest, I thought I would finish it earlier, but I decided to work on the interface, which I’ve already been dealing with for more than a month. And Ren’Py doesn’t allow me to implement everything I originally planned, and so on.

Hi. I’m glad you liked it

Hi. I remember that issue with the game not showing up in itch search. It’s happened before, and I have no idea why. But everything is working now, so don’t scare me like that. Just enable “Show content marked as adult in search & browse” in your profile settings.

Thanks for your concern about this issue.
By the way, how do you like the game?

Hi. You can read about it on the game’s page.

I clicked the game download button several times and it worked every time.

Hi. Are you having trouble downloading the game?

Hi. I somehow missed the comment above.
To be honest, if you follow that logic, then a huge portion of games tagged as ‘sandbox’ aren’t really sandbox games at all. I added that tag to my game because players themselves already tend to think that a game like this is a sandbox. I don’t want to make my game linear. I do plan to add additional activities and things like that, but even then it still wouldn’t really be a true sandbox. A lot of people just interpret that term as a game with freedom of movement and some extra activities, even though in the end you’re still doing pre-planned quests and reaching one of the predefined endings anyway.

你好。你的情况和我之前说的有点不一样。有些人是想在一次都没玩过的情况下就解锁所有场景，而你已经通关过并且看过那些场景了。不过我会考虑一下，看看能不能做一个方案，让像你这样遇到存档丢失问题的玩家可以跳过重复通关。

Hi. That button will be added, don’t worry. But I’m curious — do you see her “shadow” following Katharine behind the animation on your screen?

Love you

Hi! Send me your save file

Bro, I don’t know. Here’s a video of me passing this segment. It’s just that I didn’t even go outside the edges of the game window once.

Ah, version 0.23… Then yes, you’ll have to start the game from the very beginning. In version 0.25, I completely reworked the graphics in the first half of the game and added new scenes. So yeah, start over.

Hi! Send me your save, please

So your system isn’t under load, but your actions are still being registered later than they should be? Could you send me your save file? You can send it to me on Discord or by email.

I just tried going through this segment in fullscreen mode for the first time. I do have a second monitor, and I can move the cursor onto it without minimizing the game. I completed this segment without any issues, since you don’t need to shake the icon across the entire screen. Moving the mouse back and forth within about 1 cm is enough to clear this scene.

That brings up another question about your monitor — it’s not a 16:9 aspect ratio, right? Are you running the game in fullscreen on a monitor with an aspect ratio wider than 16:9?

Hi. Do you mean that this scene doesn’t work when multiple monitors are connected? I just didn’t fully understand your wording, sorry :D. You need to shake the icon within the game window, yes. If you move the mouse outside the game, Ren’Py indeed won’t register it.

Not yet, it’s not planned at the moment.

Hola. Gracias por el comentario, te agradecería mucho si además le dejaras una valoración al proyecto en itch.io.
No, el proyecto no está abandonado. La actualización se está retrasando porque últimamente tengo muchas cosas que hacer fuera del ordenador.

P. D.: No se puede vivir mucho tiempo con 14 $ en Patreon, así que tengo que trabajar en algo más aparte del juego

1 time bro

Hi again.
Bro, how did you do that? Seriously, I don’t understand. How? I honestly have no idea why this thing isn’t working for you. I can’t fix your save because I simply don’t understand what exactly I’m supposed to fix.
I can only offer you this option: I’ll release an update soon, and ideally you should start playing from the very beginning.
But if you remind me about yourself, I’ll give you a button that provides you with a lot of resources so you won’t waste time gathering them.

I'm quite busy with other things right now. I'll give you an answer tomorrow, okay?

Send me your save. Check the autosave tab and save the game right during this minigame. I need something to fix this problem.

快了

I don't know, it's not a priority yet.

Did you survive?

Agree.

On my end, CPU load drops with lower quality from 40% → 28% → 17% → 6%.

Hi, thank you. Send me your save.

Someone already wrote to me with the same problem. What helped them was downloading the game from Itch and launching the problematic save.

Did you put the entire archive into the folder, or did you extract it? You need to put the files from the archive into the folder.

Because there isn’t a separate build for Android

Street--->forward --->right

Fixed. Read IMPORTANT above

I realized something. I added a sound parameter to the buttons and accounted for it in the initial variables. But for some reason, I didn’t think that during the game I sometimes change those variables without considering this new addition. I guess the bugs are related to exactly that.

My game "The Seam" was shadowbanned.

And damn, this isn’t just about NSFW content.
At any moment, you can just shout: “We’re protecting the children!”
And it almost doesn’t matter what the topic is.
Everyone seems to have forgotten that it’s the parents who are responsible for their kids and the content they consume.
If the parents don’t give a shit what their kid is doing online, then yeah — that same kid will end up doing all kinds of forbidden crap IRL by the time they’re twelve.

I get it — our frustration should probably be aimed at the payment processors who are making Itch.io scrub itself clean.
But at the same time, Itch.io shouldn’t just bend over and take it either without warning  us.
