I haven't found a way either, and figured it's probably not implemented yet.

Even worse, the best part wasn't even made by a human.

Ah, yeah, it's possible to miss that option if you aren't in the habit of spending time reviewing menus and settings. I actually already knew about it because I played this a looong time ago when there was not much content, dropped it, then reinstalled fairly recently.

Oh, I see. Then, I guess I was just confused because the voice is suggesting something that isn't possible yet, which leads me to try it and fail every time. But, it did get me to try choices I otherwise wouldn't pick, which it sounds like might have been your goal anyway.

Normally when someone uses tools to simplify the programming for story-based games, it's because said person isn't a programmer but understands the core concepts of storywriting. You don't know how to write a coherent story. This plot is full of holes. I tried your previous game too. It's even less coherent. I can't tell where you think your skillset lies, but it's not in writing, and certainly not in programming if you're using GDevelop. The art seems fine, and it's not attributed to anyone else -- are you perhaps an artist? If you did create the art for these games and don't consider yourself an artist, I might suggest that's a better path for you.

It may just be because it's early stages, but I'm not sure I understand the genre or goal of this game. At the moment, it appears to be in the bad end simulator genre, but I get the impression that's not the final intent. The voice in the white does tell us we're now able to progress further after going down all three paths, but it doesn't seem like that's the case -- did I do something wrong, or is it just not implemented yet?

Hm... I play on PC, but my understanding is that the Android version is always the same as the public PC version. The version number is lower because there were fewer Android updates (since it came out after the PC version). The Patreon version is just not available on Android at all.

Ah, I did wonder about that. People were talking about rejecting others as if that's a thing that you can do. I've never been able to, so I wasn't sure what they were talking about, but I have very much negative respect -- one of the first things I did was lock it from increasing. So I was wondering if that was a factor.

EDIT: Oh, that was actually you who was talking about that before.

Hm. I tried it, and I'm still not getting an option to work for Isandro at all. I understand that this new scene is Patreon only, but is the entire Isandro job Patreon only, despite being unlocked in a chapter that is available publicly?

The only lizard dude in a cell I'm aware of is Cicero, and AFAIK your choices of what to do with Bradley and Rylan don't affect your ability to release Cicero at all. (Also, you can "side" either with or against Bradley and Rylan completely independently, so you're not really taking sides.) You just have to go back to the pirate base after leaving.

I don't think there is a dating route selection. You can choose to date people or not (if they have dates available; most haven't been implemented yet), and choosing to date someone doesn't seem to affect your ability to date others.

Ah, okay. I almost never press the Talk button, so I probably missed it. Honestly didn't realize Talk ever did anything besides additional lore.

Is this the same quest as "Protect the Church"?

Maybe the dev should... say that then, instead of something else entirely?

Whatever though, I don't care. I've given up on this game and this developer. They do not understand game design at all.

That would mean it is bugged, because it doesn't change, ever.

The other ways are not more lucrative, though. They're horrifically difficult.

Also, if the goal of the game is for you to play it and no one else, don't fucking publish it.

Okay. So based on the things that do and don't cause mental loss, apparently the MC always, regardless of player choice, hates the following things:

1. Not being in control

2. Public exposure

3. Sex

It's extremely weird to me given the choices that are available that they wouldn't impact these personality constants whatsoever, so I'm wondering if this isn't actually a bug?

Uh... the main source of income is definitely sex. I don't know if that was intended to be the main source of income, but it's far and away the easiest.

And, well, what I was missing is not losing Mental by clicking to go places most of the time, because nearly all of the random events cause mental loss if you aren't wearing clothes.

I think I have some confusion regarding the goal of this game... Especially if you weren't expecting players to acquire income primarily via sex.

Wait. What jobs? I never found any jobs. Maybe I was just looking in the wrong place, but I didn't even realize there were supposed to be jobs.

EDIT: Okay, well, in order to try to find jobs, I did something I had never tried before and actually left the apartment with clothes on... which apparently gives access to like 90% of the game that you otherwise can't access without clothes on. Still never found any jobs, though.

I mean, not nothing -- it has been fixed for many people. Just not for everyone apparently.

Yeah, I'm now getting this error too on this update.

I know the dev said they won't be posting a patch list until the update is complete, but it might be beneficial to have a log of them if these mini-updates are causing bugs.

The description says "The romanceable characters you encounter will all be male."

There's a Level 4 TEC advantage? I've only ever gotten up to 3. Didn't know 4 existed.

I'm certain that it is a bug, though I'm unsure if it actually affects anything beyond flavor text.

Yeah, it is odd. It doesn't even affect any stats or other choices.

I'm guessing you mean 2-D? There's no 2-0, but maybe the D looked like a 0 to you. If that's what you meant, the answer is no. He dies regardless of which choices you make.

A full spells build without Incantation Headband?? Can't say I've ever thought to try that. Hell, I use Incantation Headband even on some primary physical builds because it allows me to sometimes passively rebuy utility spells without wasting actions on breaking purple gems. I definitely always use it on primary spell builds. I consider it easily the best item in the game. (Granted, I only have the free version, not the Patreon version.)

I mean, obviously your damage with this build is mainly physical. But with every single skill being a magic skill, I think the extra purple gems are definitely worth the +3 MAG being minimally effective.

Huh... I don't know the answer, but the question caused me to try to look it up. I've probably missed a lot of content this way -- I typically don't try to look at other content in the middle of a quest, but apparently this one requires you to start Clash of Corporations but not complete it.

Hm... there was an update though. The itch client notified me of it, and I downloaded the new version. Wonder what that was about? If you didn't update anything, maybe just a glitch?

I'm pretty sure the only character who ends up in cells and mentions betrayal is Galiano, who was there since the first version.

There is -- it's the mythicheroes link at the bottom of the game description -- though it's missing a lot and some of it may be from older versions.

EDIT: The text of that link is the the correct URL, but the hyperlink itself goes to the wrong place. So, copy the link text instead of going to the link directly.

I'm not sure what the most recent update was supposed to be -- it's not in the changelog -- but I'm guessing it was supposed to be a bugfix? What was it trying to fix? I still see the same bugs.

I could even try to unpack the asar file, but I have zero JS experience so I'd probably just get confused :P

Though... now knowing the core is likely JS, it might be more likely an object issue than a variable issue.

Managing Mental stat is extremely difficult... There are tons of ways to decrease it and very few ways to increase it, which all take a lot of time and are random events. I've already needed to reboot once... speaking of, I apparently need to pay 1000 credits after a reboot, but I don't see a way to do that? Is it because I don't actually have 1000 credits to pay? It doesn't appear to be locking me out of anything, though.

EDIT: Ah, there are Perks to help with managing Mental. I just hadn't hit Level 1 yet, so I didn't know about them. Still, if I already had a reboot before hitting Level 1... seems really hard to manage. Also... I can't tell if Servant Mentality is, uh, actually doing anything... I assume the gain is just lower than the decrease, but they're not delineated, so it's impossible to tell.

EDIT 2: Okay, owing money just locks you out of using the clinic.

I don't know the exact issue, but I think I have an idea of where to look: I believe there's an issue with variables used for character names. Some characters don't have names but should, some have repeated names, and some use the wrong name variable in the text.

I know you said you are a programmer (and I am not), so it seems odd that it would be this simple to solve, but... it almost seems like you have a single variable repeatedly being reassigned new values instead of a new variable being generated.

Oh! If the NPC doesn't have a name, the text uses your character's name for their actions. I think that's what was confusing me about saying the wrong actions/body parts.

I  did find more bugs though.

1. Wise is the only available personality option.
2. Social actions with enemies just cause you be defeated instantly.

No, not genitals, body parts in general. They just say the wrong part of the body.

Also, as far as I can tell, the only thing fixed was Energy. (EDIT: Solving the Overwhelmed issue required a restart, but  is fixed now.)

I think I've determined a few things:

1. Purity and Energy don't do anything.

2. Arousal can increase but the triggers for its decrease don't always work, and you remain Overwhelmed at all times if your Arousal has ever reached maximum regardless of its current value.

3. There are for some reason always three people in sex scenes, rather than what is probably the intended up to three, and if there's only one physical person it will slot in nonexistent people with the same name who can't properly be interacted with.

4. NPCs sometimes just use the wrong words for body parts/actions in sex scenes.

As far as I can tell, the sex function is extremely bugged... if that's not the case... I really need an explanation of how it's supposed to work. I can't even tell you what's bugged and what's not because none of it makes any sense to me.

I think this is a bug? You can fight the Adult Slime and craft the items Fern tells you about before talking to Fern, but the quest doesn't progress at all before talking to her. The quest also never tells you to talk to her, so I had to figure that out on my own.

Also, once you bring the samples back to Arthur, he just says "come back in a couple days" every single time regardless of how many days it's been... even tried doing nothing but resting for two full days so I'm definitely not speaking to him, and he still says the same thing. I mean, if it's just not completed yet, that's fine... except that you also can't complete any other quest while Arthur refuses to talk to you.

Oh, another thing. There are still five regions on the galaxy map that are question marks. Are all five of those not implemented yet? Or have I just not figured out how to get there, at least for some of them?
