itch.io

Thanks for the kind words!

I'm sadly not really active on the marketing side of things, but when I eventually polish the game a bit more and get closer to it being complete I'll for sure consider reaching out and seeing how to market it better. Thank you for the recommendation, I'll certainly keep it in mind!

Yep, updates are coming. And thanks for the compliment! Glad that you liked the game so far!

No official support for android at the moment, sorry.

Sorry for the late reply, my notifications aren't working properly.

There is a plot point about something somewhat similar happening that will be introduced sometime in the future (well, it's already introduced, but players shouldn't be able to connect the dots yet fully).

Sorry again for late response... it seems something funky is going on with my notifications, or I'm doing something wrong.

Anyway, yeah getting the quest when you turned her down definitely shouldn't have happened. I'll check it out. Thanks for reporting it!

And yeah, the implementation of quests does need some more information about exactly what state of development they are in. It's one of the more common complaints actually. 

Thank you for sending some cash my way, much appreciated :)

Technically, you shouldn't even be able to have the option to call her if you decided to keep her out of your life. The only way you could call her is if you kept her as a friend, as a love interest or as source of blood. Are you saying that you got the quest and/or have the option to call her without choosing any of those options?

Sorry, didn't see this post. The data should be transferred automatically. If not, you can find it in your Users\%your username%\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\TheBite folder.

Thanks for your donation, it's much appreciated. :)

Take this with a bucket of salt, as I never keep my word as far as this cursed thing is concerned, but fingers crossed I feel good about this year.

Not really. There's a walkthrough for higher tier patreons/subscribestars that shows the immediate effects of choices as it relates to NPC's trust/affinity values. But I'm always looking into ideas on how to improve that, and you've just given me something to think about!

I believe there's an android port or two somewhere out there on the interwebs. Though I'm not sure any are yet updated for the current version of  the game.

It has been a while :(  New update soon.

As soon as possible hopefully :D 

There's quite a lot to go through still, and work is progressing somewhat slower than what I'd like, but I'm still working on it!

Saves are located on the partition where you installed your system, in the folder that's probably called something like this: C:\Users\%Your PC Name%\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\TheBite. 

You can copy/paste them from there to wherever else you have installed the game  (I'm assuming you want to transfer saves to another PC).

Thank you for your kind words! I will think about eventually adding it to steam when the game is in a a bit more polished state.

And no worries about your English, it's perfectly understandable! :)

That's strange... The post is open to public. Anyway, here's the direct link for the latest release. This one should work: https://mega.nz/file/0493kZoC#jKhbsPdKVqWCmIO6dVPKr53bhpVAQLw7yA8Zw6jEUXE

Yeah, Patreon is paused until the end of month. Try this link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/stuff-106070948

I don't know how itch.io version works, but you can grab a version from Patreon/Subscribestar, those are stand alone. Just need to extract them somewhere and run the .exe file.

Thank you for your high praise! I hope next releases will keep you satiated :)

Yep. That's it.

As of now, it might get you over the threshold for some choices. I haven't tested it personally. In the future, where power shines most is during open exploration parts or opening up unique options/dialogues for specific traits.

Thanks for the advice and kind words! Glad that you liked it!

I don't know how to do it to be honest. I've never played any games on a phone :(

There are some cheat mods already out in the open that might help you out.
As for the error you get on your phone, I'm not officially supporting phone version, but if you send me the log I'll look into it.

I'll check to see if there were any issues with Control implementation (a lot of the backend code has been rewritten in the last update), but in general you lose control when succumbing to your instincts and you gain when you resist them.

I did indeed. And thanks for your kind words, glad that you liked it!

Another user reported the same issue while using an outdated walkthrough mod. Check if that's the case with you as well.

Yep. This one has been mentioned a couple of times. Still investigating the issue, but it should be patched for the next game version. Thanks for the report!

Oh man, sorry for not figuring out this earlier but I didn't realize these notifications had to be clicked in a certain way to get to the post in question. Whenever I clicked on the notification that there's a new post it just brought me back to the front page. :D 

Anyway, I make it a practice not to reveal which kinks I plan on before they are in the game as I feel they are a bit spoiler-y, but I can confirm the vampires in this game are not undead.

Sorry for not replying earlier, I didn't realize these notifications had to be clicked in a certain way to get to the post in question. Whenever I clicked on the notification that there's a new post it just brought me back to the front page. :D

Anyway, I've seen a couple of cheat modes here and there, but I don't provide support for them. Which checks give you the most issues? 

Thanks for the call out and posting the log as well!

Yeah, the traits rework was planned for either this release or to be patched in sometime in January. But good thing you found it, I completely forgot that that module also interacts with the base game. Will patch it up so it doesn't interfere with the gameplay.

Hey! That's actually a good call! Unfortunately, itch.io has a maximum requirement of 10 tags in total, which I've already reached :(

If translation works, you are asking about changing of the player's name on phone versions of the game?

If so, I don't offer support for the phone versions of the game, only PC/MAC. For phone support you'll have to talk to whomever ported the game to Android.

Sounds like something went horribly wrong with your game.

The quests Meeting the Boss, Lessons in Spirituality and Testing the waters aren't implemented yet, so that's why they don't work, but everything else should clear out without an issue.

Are you using any mods, game edits or translations? Could you send me your save game file?

Not a bug. I forgot to include "end of content" message at the end of two implemented quests ("Psychology 101" and "School's in"). The three other quests are not yet implemented.

EDIT: forgot to reply, yes I do have a discord: https://discord.com/invite/vtr2QXG

That sounds like a bug. Do you mean you get the "Psychology 101" twice in a row? Like the mission repeats itself?

Yes, only the "Psychology 101" and "School's in" are available in v0.81. I added that part in the changelog but I forgot to add a credits scene at the end of the quests to inform players that's all there is to it.

Yeah, I kinda went on a hiatus for about 3-4 months, that's why the current release is so late. Thank you for the enthusiasm. :)

Thank you for your kind words! I try to put the lore and world-building dialogue behind optional menu's but sometimes I might miss some.
Could you tell me if you remember any specific dialogues that you noticed were too long?

Sorry to hear that. Sadly I can't promise that further updates won't screw with your sleep schedule XD
