itch.io

I downloaded the new update...and now all I get is errors. First I thought the update just wasn't compatible with old saves, but errors keep happening even when starting a fresh new game.

Here is an example (the first error I game across when starting a new game):

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While running game code:

I'm sorry but I don't have an Tumbrl account, and I'm not really interested in getting one either (not really a fan of social media of any kind...just here to play), so this is the only way for me to reach you. I apologize for the inconvenience.

An error occurred during installation:

htfs.Open (initial request): in conn.Connect, non-retriable error: in conn.tryConnect, got HTTP non-2XX: api.itch.io: HTTP 400: {"errors":["invalid upload"]}

The free Demo is no longer downloadable, neither from Itch.io (App or directly from the site, doesn't matter) nor from Steam. Steam link does nothing, and Itch.io link redirects you to Patreon, where you need to be a member to access the files.

Is this on purpose? Or?

# Spoiler Warning #

Here is a link to  a Walkthrough on the Author's Official Tumblr page: https://ataleofcrowns.tumblr.com/post/627362513923768320/walkthrough-unlocking-a...

### BUG REPORT ###

Not actual bugs, but still something you might want to sort out.

In Ch 1, on the page starting with "A practiced blow meets my already beaten shin," the last paragraph appears twice.

In Ch 2, after Brick's incident in the tavern, there is no line-break or anything before the sub-header "Next day".

I think I have managed to gather all the $ from the Book One, and what is left to do is to implement the code to unable the import/export function.

However, before doing that, I have questions, and recommendations, relating to the variables and their functions: There are some that I'm not sure what they are meant to do, some that go by different name on the Book Two, some that do not exist, and some that I think would function better is slightly changed.

Do you want us to continue the conversation here, or do you want to make it private?

Also, would you rather that I do the changes directly to the actual game file, or would you rather want me to just send you the information needed and then do it yourself?

Ok. I'll go play around with the code and keep you posted.

I can't promise anything useful to come out of it, but I'll do my best.

I just wanted to rekindle to the conversation Dino Nuggets In Spacea attempted to start a month ago:

  ____________________________________________________________

"Dino Nuggets In Space a month ago(+5)(-1)

I know this book is nowhere near done but I do very much hope that by the end we're able to import our saves from the previous book instead of relying on making vague choices pertaining to our behavior in the first one to set the narrative here in in this one- I have problems with memory loss you see, and I know for a fact that I will not remember my previous choices and such if it really does stay this way for the completion of this book 💔 

Not complaining btw! Just voicing a concern due to a disability"

  ____________________________________________________________

I find the idea most excellent.

I am not sure if you are aware how to make the books so that a save from the end of the Book 1 can be exported to be then imported at the begin of Book 2 allowing seamless character progression and plot continuation (no need for recap or choice picker). So, a great example of this (though not perfect) can be found in the Superstition series by 13Leagues:

https://13leagues.itch.io/superstition

https://13leagues.itch.io/superstition-s2

Applying this to your work would make jumping from book one to book two so much easier for, at least, us readers if not for you too, and it would help with consistency and immersion. I believe your work would benefit greatly from it, especially if there is going to be more than two books...which seems very likely (and which we all I assume are cheering for) considering all the delicious mysterious entanglements revealed so far.

If you are interested in the idea, but wary of the coding, I can try to make myself useful and help where needed. I'm not an expert by any means, but I have some experience dabbling with Twine/Sugarcube.

I love the story (and Kestrel) and will continue to read regardless. However, if there is going to be more books, I will probably sooner or later end up attempting the coding for personal use anyway just to make my character and story line feel consistent...so might as well, help to provide it for all audience.

Let me know what you think.

Clicking the Tumblr link on your Ko-Fi page gives Tumblr error page "There's nothing here.", the address the link attempts to open being "dam-peace.tumblr.com.

Clicking the Tumblr link on this page, attempts to open "https://www.tumblr.com/login?redirect_to=%2Fblog%2Fdam-peace".

Both links are tied to a username "dam-peace". However, doing a simple web search reveals that the actual Tumblr username should be "dbonner-games". 

The link to Tumblr page does not work, neither does the one posted on Ko-Fi.

For me it says the last update was 12 hours ago. But there definitely was no update at that time.

Thanks for sharing the info!

It's been "tomorrow" for hours now LOL

Had I know, I wouldn't have stayed up waiting...and I assume I'm not the only one.

## BUG REPORT ##

Passage ◎ Page 142-P1

No way to go forward. $studies is 'languages'. Which I think might be causing this. Shouldn't the code be $studies is "languages" instead? Or am I mistaken?

I assume you are like me and are using the Itch.io App.

Unfortunately this game cannot be installed. To play it you have to use web browser to got to itch.io and open the game from there.

I don't know what causes it that while some game without download file can be installed through Itch.io App others cannot. It is annoying and makes its harder to keep track of updates.

Ok. Despite the lack features, I still hope that you keep uploading new updates here too. I'll be using the CoG version to play, but to know when new updates are available, Itch.io App is by far the easiest way to go.

Is there a way to save the game? Can't find a save button anywhere.

...ok, so CoG version has a save button and a back button, but Itch.io version does not...Itch.io version also does not show images...

I am playing the game using Itch.io App on Windows, and I couldn't get the game to rename my character either. The name White remains everywhere.

I am not sure if you are aware (so might as well mention it here) that you can actually make the books so that a save from the end of the Book 1 can be imported at the begin of Book 2 to allow seamless character progression and plot continuation (no need for recap or choice picker).

A great example of this is Superstition by 13Leagues:

nah

...maybe...

Absolutely yes!

No thank you

Yes, thank you. Seems to be working fine now.

First I was using Itch.io App and the game didn't work, so then I downloaded the game file and tried to launch it straight from the .exe but that didn't work either. The traceback.txt error list is the same in both occations.

I was trying to launch the game, but the nothing happened besides the traceback.txt popping up.

### BUG REPORT ###

In the passage Check -- it show all this extra space after the choices.

=> You can avoid that by wrapping the code that is located beneath the choices in <<silent>>  <</silent>> .

In the passage Check -- the link Yes brings you back to the passage ROGenders. Seems unnecessary repetition, since to get there you have already chosen and accepted the RO's genders.

=> Maybe remove the Pronouns link from the passage ROGenders and instead the Yes link in the Check passage could bring you straight into the passage pros instead.

In the passage Prologue -- there are to code errors.

=> <<set $HerHis to "Her"> -- needs one more > to the end.

=> <<set $HerHis to "His"> -- needs one more > to the end.

=> both <<set $herhis to "her"> and <<set $herhis to "his> have the same error as above, so just add the > to those two also.

In the passage Prologue_2 -- the variable $HerHis is just that, the variable, not the word.

=> The problem is probably the previous error, but the fact that the variable is attached to the " could also causes the engine to read is as a words instead of a variable. So if the problem isn't fixed by fixing the previous error then try putting a space between the " and the $.

In the passage “Leave her alone!” you shout, blocking her with your body. -- There is "him birthday" instead of "his birthday".

=> Instead of the variable $her try using $herhis.

In the passage “No! Please!” You fight back tears as you hold onto Reina’s body. -- There is "him room" and "him face" instead of "his room" and "his face".

=> Instead of the variable $her try using $herhis.

In the passage Prologue 10 -- the variable $herhis is just that, the variable, not the word.

=> The problem is the previously mentioned error in the passage Prologue.

Hint : 

car-charm

(don't want to outright give away the answer and spoil  anyone's the fun...of pulling out one's hair and screaming to the screen in a rageful, desperation filled frustration...however. if the answer remains shrouded in mystery, I can provide more hints, so let me know)

...no idea, based on what logic, one is suppose to derive the conclusion...but there you have it...

...is someone figures out the logic behind it, I would love to hear it...

A "cosmetic error" in CH1P8.4 :

"Back?" Maud's expression shifts through several emotions too fast to track. "

: in a form of an accidental quotation mark in the end of the sentence.

Is the code on CH1P2.1 :

You take 
Energy Drink

<<link "Energy Drink">>
<<set $drinkChoice to "energy drink">>
<<run setup.setTrait('calculated', ($deflecting || 50) - 1)>>
<<goto "CH1P2.2">>
<</link>>

: corrent?

Or should it be :

<<link "Energy Drink">>
<<set $drinkChoice to "energy drink">>
<<run setup.setTrait('calculated', ($calculated || 50) - 1)>>
<<goto "CH1P2.2">>
<</link>><

: ?

Also is it intentional that choosing coffee and the Jake "Something's eating you.."-conversations take way from Intuition and add to Methodical?

##BUG REPORT##

Spelling mistake in CH1P20.Theory1_DrinkSuccess.

 Maud grins. Picks up her glass. "Told you $firstNameC's clever."

No big deal, just missing a space between a variable and the following word.

No problem, always happy to help ❤️

I wouldn't call myself tech savvy, but I do dabble LOL I'm better acquainted with Twine than Renpy...but trial and error.

Not sure what caused the problem (the unwanted .rpy file) but after deleting it the game seems to working fine (so far at least).

There is only one game folder and at first the game would only open .txt file, not Renpy. I doubt the problem was caused by the remains of an older version...but of course I could be wrong. I am using the Itch.io App though...so problem might be related to that.

I tried removing the 00layereditimage.rpy instead, and the game is working.
