itch.io

My pleasure, I'm looking forward to this game. You had me hooked with the opening.

I downloaded it from this page, so I'm hoping this is the official source.

As for the white screen, it happens when I launch in either windowed or fullscreen. It's about a 50/50 chance each time I launch if it's a white screen.

And for the Save/Load buttons, I never noticed the scroll bar on the side.  Maybe a line in the Menu Screen Tutorial page that you can scroll to see all the menu buttons? Or make the scroll bar bigger/more noticeable.

I also noticed in windowed mode it doesn't resize the screen to fit the window. It just cuts off whatever's not in the window, making window mode unusable. Turn 'Stretch Screen' on in the options fixes that.

Of course, I can't recreate the Tutorial crash now that I want it to happen.

Now that I've got the save/load issue sorted, I was finally able to give this game a proper try. And I must say, I am very unhappy I found this game so early in development. Now I have to wait for this masterpiece to be finished before I can lose a weekend or three to it.  

What little I was able to play was intriguing. Half the time, it doesn't start, it's just opens a blank white screen. 

Unfortunately, once I'm in, the game crashes every time I try to open the Tutorial from the menu screen. 

And there's no option to save or load the game, despite the tutorial saying there is.  If you could make a new auto-save point after you wake up in the house, that would be great. I'm getting frustrated running from the dead in the ash island, as that's the last save point I have.

Less rare could be a way to go about it, but the problem with RNG is there is a chance they'll never appear. Off the top of my head to keep RNG and guarantee all figures are collectable, is a rising find percentage. For example, over a ten day span, the odds to find increases 10% a day, with 100% chance on day 10, resetting once it's collected. Alternatively, hiding them in scenes you're guaranteed to see would be better, and give everyone a chance to get them all. 

And an issue with clicker games is they can be very unfriendly to people who can't click rapidly or precisely. If that's the only way to earn money, they can't progress in the game. If it's a way to boost earning, then it turns it into a grind for them to earn it otherwise. Will there be other ways to earn money as the game progresses?

Very good start, the artwork is good, and the world building is off to a solid start.

In the arcade, for the duck game, it doesn't matter what duck you pick, the number is the same for all of them. I get the notification at the top of the screen, which took me a while to figure out I was gaining tickets from that. It also appears you're limited to one figure a day, then it goes to lucky 13 for the duck selection.

For the shirts and skins, it's a good clicker game. They're all worth one money, maybe go 1-2-3 as the distance increases? Same for the balloon pop, good clicker. Maybe different sized balloons with different values? To increase the earnings from the games and reduce the time it takes to buy stuff.

The panty smack is the only one I found frustrating. The hit box for the targets isn't clear, and doesn't seem to match the location of the hand on screen.

The timer for all games starts at 20, even though the text says you have 25 seconds.

The prices for items are too high in relation to the effort it takes to earn the money and tickets. At best, it's around 10 games per item .

Very well done, story is entertaining, the renders are great, and the characters are engaging.

What's the answer to the corridor of destiny? The last time I played was 4 months ago. I loaded a save, but you can't talk to Lina about her acting days. I typed in every major egyptian god on the wikipedia page and none of them worked. These types of puzzles need a way to solve them in game that doesn't rely on memory or starting a new game.

Edit: That's because his name is spelled differently on the Wiki page. 

I've been trying to post this for a while, but apparently itch is having server issues:

In the chess game, I can't promote pawns in the hard game. It makes it impossible to win.

I second the walkthrough. 

Once we've met people, could we get their pictures on the map so we know where to find them?

Thank you. I'm really enjoying it so far.

Antivirus flags the download.

I can't get that far, they destroy everything almost as quickly as it's built.

Had to extract GenerationShip.exe from the .rar separately from the rest of the files. Also my antivirus doesn't like it. 

Aside from the ravens, this is a good foundation. My problem is that ravens constantly destroy my buildings and kill my people, so I can't really progress.

Is there a list or walkthrough of where the fire stones are? I've found 15 so far.

Awesome. I'm excited for this game, and look forward to being able to play it. Maybe consider an option to skip the QTE's after a certain number of failures.

I don't know what chess program you're using, but medium is near impossible to beat. And the rhythm game is too fast. It might be easier if the cues weren't jumping all over the screen.

I want to like this game, the artwork is fantastic, but the QTE's lock me out of it.

Awesome! Glad to be of help.

Posted, hopefully you can see it as I don't have three posts yet on f95.

Neither rollback nor reload fixes the issue. Rollback brings you to the computer screen, so you aren't forced to restart the game. But the error persists if you click on email again.

I see how to add a video or image, but not a file.

It's a 15.4 save. Where do you want me to send it? 

First, where are the save games? I don't see a ReclusiveBay folder in %AppData%/Renpy.

Kicks this error when trying to open email.

If you do the the thing for coda, the money doesn't appear in your account.

Thank you. I was going crazy trying to figure out what interaction I missed.

Is there a walkthrough? I can't figure out how to activate the second light event. 

Phenomenal work. I had no problems running on ultra graphics and large platoon size. The AI is great at taking cover in dips and craters. The AI does tend to clump up, so a single well placed shell will take out a platoon huddling in a crater. Also, the units should be able to move left and right, as well as front and back. In one game, the British took the German left, and Germans took the British left. The centers got traded back and forth, but the flank units never turned to the center to clear out the trench. I eagerly look forward to this game. I might break my 'no early access' rule for this.

I'm constantly getting the error: 

Loading Error 

Failed to Load: audio/se/ErisLF53.ogg

It's annoying because it constantly interrupts the flow of the game.

version 0.0.4b pc

EDIT: It was to the point is was nearly unplayable, so I copied ErisLF33 and renamed it to ErisLF53, that stopped the error from appearing every ten seconds.

Great work, I'm really looking forward to the next content update. 

The only thing that jumped out at me is the email from Vivian, subject 'I Talked to Cascade,' it refers to you as [playerName].

You're quite welcome. Do you mind if I browse through your code? I'm curious how you got certain things to work that I've been struggling with.

The night events I'm referring to aren't related to lockpicking, but the main story. After you talk to Lily, and she broaches the subject of saving up, you have to talk to Cas and Paige. When you talk to Cas at the Royal, the option is 'Hey, I want to ask you about something that Lily brough (sic) up" which leads to the dining room night scene. However, that option never goes away, and the event can't be repeated.

For Paige, the option is 'You have a second,'  which leads to the hot tub scene. The option remains after the hot tub scene is completed, and the hot tub can't be repeated. 

You're quite welcome, debugging is a pain. 

Bugs for 15.5.1 (fixed in 15.5.2, which I didn't notice was released before making these notes):

When talking to Cas in the dining room about the savings plan, the 'Actually I'd change alot' and 'Maybe the amount of clothing you have on' options loop back to the beginning of the conversation, the only way out is to select 'Nope, not a thing.' 

Paige's hot tub conversation, all options, both after peeking and not, loop the conversation back to the beginning, there's no way to leave the conversation.

15.5.2 bugs with new game:

Cas and Paige night events (dining room and hot tub respectively) about the savings can be completed, but the options to start the events still remain for them in the restaurant dialogues, but the events do not fire again. The hint says to talk to Lily at the Royal, but the only option is 'nothing.'

But how do I give them the money to save up? I can only interact with them at the restaurant, and none of the options involves giving them money for savings.

Error wise, Paige's door also kicks an error.

The main story says to email Vivian after adding the corridor, but I can't save money to get the corridor. I have $2000 from hacking and lockpicking, but $0 combined savings.

Lily and Vivian: That's all for now

Cas: Let's get an early day and check the dining room

Paige: I should check in the kitchen once Cas and Paige like me enough. 15 RP each.

Do you need to be able to enter their rooms to trigger the scenes? I've gone to every other location at every time of day and no scenes are triggering.

It throws errors when I click on Lily and Cas's rooms, but can be rolled back or ignored. The game crashes when you buy gifts, and click on them while it was in the spot at the top of the screen where the inventory is.  That error seems to be because it's calling non-existent labels for those items.

I also seem to have hit a wall. I can't get my points with Paige above 14, and you need 15 to progress. And with Cas, I have no idea what to do with the 'early day' hint.

How are you supposed to save money to purchase upgrades? The only time I can talk to them is at the restaurant, and their options are 'nothing' and 'how's business/work shift.'

Been looking forward to this. One bug, when you and Sam are at the bar, the options to let her spend the night or take a taxi say Samantha, and not her name if it was changed.

Cool. Excited for the next update. Ya hya chouhuda Muad'Dib!

Is 0.6 bug fixes and tidying up the code? It ends at the same place 0.5 did.
