As was discovered with this release, the only client that allows for cross-game save features is PC/Mac. And of those, the detection of prior saves wasn't 100%. That means we have to remove/change the existing cross-game checks for the next update.

It's hard for me to judge if there's a problem with Act 1 (Cave Segment) because it seems to be to one extreme or another - Either people understand and enjoy the "bipolar alien" that is 682 or they don't like it at all. As for the transition into Act 2, there does seem to be an opportunity to work in a better transition without completely re-doing the Act.

It's not halted. We've been posting regular updates on our progress on Patreon and Discord.

I can deploy a fix on the weekend. For now, go back before the question, switch to another language, answer the question, then switch back. That should stop the softlock in Russian.

There are such choices in future updates!

Each project has its own artist. The speed of releases is dependent on the speed of the artist. We also have been posting progress updates on both Discord and Patreon.

We use RenPy!

Key distinction to make: She wasn't the serpent. It was just her idea to do that.

Both Patreon and Discord are linked above!

Yes! We've been posting progress updates on Patreon and Discord.

That's a standard thing with SmartScreen when it comes to indie titles. See here for details. There are no viruses in this game.

Perhaps at the end of the project along with other translations.

Nope! You can get the True Ending at any time

Blue is a Good End, Orange is a secret, and Green is the True End

Nope! Just a friendly poke that there's more story to enjoy if you play the first game first :D

It just tells you to go try and get the True Ending so you get the full experience. Again, though, it's not required to enjoy this game!

Not yet! That'll be content in v0.2 and beyond!

I did send it to him, yes!

Thanks! The translations won't happen until the project is nearly finished, so it could be quite some time!

If you're on Android then this is a known bug. The good news is that it doesn't affect anything beyond the check at the beginning of the game.

April at the very least! We're still cooking on the H-Scene, after which we're doing one final audio and sprite pass through the script so it's as close to perfect as possible. T2+ Patrons will get v0.2 two weeks before the public does here on Itch.

There are no bad end lewd scenes because it's not just lewds that happen.

The fact you identified her as being "interestingly alien" means we're doing a good job writing her character. First and foremost, we want her to feel like 682, regardless of what form she decides to take. And yes, we address her look right at the beginning of Act 2. My hope is that her reasoning is received well, but only time will tell!

I'll release the OST with the release of v0.2!

It's a custom song made just for the game! You can hear it by going to Extras -> Music Room

We did on Patreon, but basically we're just one final H-Scene away from being able to release v0.2! Soon!

We're still hard at work on it. As for the timeline question, yes!

We address why she looks like that in the next update! I encourage you to give v0.2 a shot once it's out for the public :D

Same universe, yes!

There is a sequel game in the works!

Hm. Usually Performance Mode fixes it. Can you email me your system specs and graphics driver version? My email should be in the credits.

Have you tried turning on performance mode? These problems are common on older devices that technically support Ren'Py but are out of date.

There likely will not be a MalOvent 2 as we aim to complete MalO's story in this game. Glad you enjoyed it so far!

Check our Bsky for the audition link!

If we can wrangle a voice actor, perhaps!

If your save is from before v0.3, you have to start your playthrough over.

There are no crypto miners in this software. 

In that case, please email me a screenshot of the error message it's giving you so I can properly investigate. My email can be found in the credits of the game.

Hm. Did you load an old save from an old version by chance? If so that would be the cause of the error.

What version of the game and what language were you playing in?
