itch.io

I assume this is on the web version? Unfortunately, each type of browser has different rules for how they manage local data, but if it’s gone, it’s probable gone for good. There is a “save to disk” feature that can allow you to create a portable save file that exists outside of browser storage, but that doesn’t help you get your old save file back.

Since I can’t help you get your file back, here’s some advice for the future. Safari in specific purges local storage roughly every seven days for some unknowable reason, so if you’re using that browser, it’s likely to delete your saved game regularly. On mobile browsers there are strict limits to the amount of space they will allocate to local storage, so they are also unreliable, and you’ll need to save to disk frequently. For most other desktop browsers, saves should persist for months or years, if not indefinitely, as long as you don’t delete them yourself. Various software utilities (anything that deletes “temporary files” or “cleans diskspace”) will likely delete your browser’s data, and of course if you delete your own browsing data in your browser settings, that will also clear the data, so be careful with that sort of thing. Still, it’s a good idea to save to disk if you aren’t planning to play the game for a while.

Sorry I can’t help more :(

Note: The server doesn’t really have that much info, so you can’t recover your save via your multiplayer ID. Only your servant’s info is tracked, and records for players that don’t log-in for a while are eventually removed. Of course, in normal circumstances, your record is re-added next time you log-in.

Yeah, the closer the number of orgasms between partners, the better the rating.

A lot of times the issue with this one is your own number of orgasms falling behind, so things like the orgasmic suggestion ability and going in with elevated lust and using masturbation type moves here and there can help you keep up.

You need to get into chapter 1 for that. A ton of areas and content are unlocked as you progress the story, so even if it doesn’t appeal to you, it’s worth getting to at least chapter 3 or 4 or so to unlock most of the areas.

There is a table the game uses internally to pick your gathering rewards, and the traits just change the weights of each reward on the table, so you have a higher chance of getting better rewards. I’ll make sure it’s working, but I just wanted to clarify how it worked, it doesn’t like directly buff the rewards, just changes the weights.

It would be hard to translate the game due to how I’ve mixed the content and code together in places, but not impossible. Once the game is complete I may look into this more! Many web browsers have built-in translation features, and these should work with the web version of the game without needing to use a separate app.

If you downloaded the web version and tried to run it in a browser, that won’t work for “security” reasons on an Android device; you’ll need to use something like JoiPlay.

If you’re talking about playing the web version online on this web page, I just checked it on a few devices and it works for me right now. Itch.io is pretty reliable, but every server hiccups and sputters from time to time, so it may just be something like that.

Once you get this perk, the filth “gauge” goes up to 200 (normal limit is 100), and while I do have some art for two additional stages of filthiness, I didn’t think they looked good, so they’re not in the game right now. I also had an option for playing with the filth on your body in certain encounters as a sex move that was meant to be unlocked by this perk, but I replaced this with using the own brand on female partners instead, and that ability isn’t related to this perk.

I kinda forgot this perk was still available…I’ll do something with it when I come up with a good idea.

You don’t do alchemy in Hex; everything you’d use potions for in SS is (or will eventually be) done either via spells in exchange for MP, or be stuff you can just do once unlocked.

We did do some basic testing and preproduction on animations, so it’s not that this isn’t something we ever thought about. (Warning, low quality GIF, the actual test animation is better than this.)

However, we decided that it’s just not in the scope of this project, and it’s not only a financial consideration, though that would be a factor, too. While obviously web games can and often do have animations, animations at reasonable levels of quality are heavy and when you’re dealing with limited MBs of bandwidth and server space, I just feel its a better use of our resources to just have a lot of CGs rather than trying to animate some of them.

Never say never, but for now our focus is on having a ton of varied artwork. It’s a similar situation to when people really want to have more character customization: it’d be awesome to give players more body shapes and stuff, but that also makes outfits and sex CGs harder. One design consideration can functionally limit another one. Animations are like that; the time, manpower, and web bandwidth, we use to make animations could instead go to making a dozen static CGs.

If I ever do make a game that has animations in distant the future, I’ll probably just go all the way and make a game with real-time 3D graphics, or at the very least I’d leverage something like Live2D and make it in a non-web-based game engine.

Yes, I’m currently working on a huge update. I plan to sort of soft-relaunch the game when this update comes out, marking the end of the alpha stage of development.

I don’t have plans to add animations to Hex, just lots of static art.

This is probably just part of the storyline. Spoiler warning.

The tavern gets burned down partway through chapter 2. A new tavern can be built, but how you do that depends on whether you decided to stay in town or leave with Roland. If you don’t leave town with Roland, it takes a little while before you can see him again.

Because leaving or staying in town is such a big decision, the game should warn you about it, so even if you’re just mashing through the story, a window should pop up confirming you’re sure about what want to do, so you should have seen that, and if you’re already on to chapter 3, you can probably access the bandit camp, and that’s where Roland should start appearing now if you did indeed stay in town. To get the tavern back, you’ll have to help Roland fund a new one, and in return you’ll be a co-owner and get part of his profits. It costs 1000G.

If you leave with Roland, the events progress differently and the tavern will be rebuilt without you having to do anything, but you won’t get an ownership stake and you are forced to stay out of the city for a while.

Sorry :(

I may re-add the outfit or some of this content in the future. I also have plans to restructure patron benefits and tiers and other rewards in the future so things are kinda up in the air right now.

Also there are two Halloween outfits, the more detailed “witch” one is a permanent addition to the seamstress, while the mummy one is the event reward, so you’ll be able to get the permanent one for sure.

This is a test of the plugin system and server, so this is gonna be patron only for now. Future events won’t generally be locked to the patron edition like this, though.

You can play the web version or use JoiPlay and the offline browser version on Android.

You don’t give birth to the homunculus, you can make it at home after completing the request Secrets of Alchemy.

You can only use them as potions.

No. I had some health issues so I had to take some time off from both games, but I just did a big SS update and I’m releasing a patron-exclusive update for this game in a few days.

Hex will get a massive update and I plan to sort of “relaunch” it soon.

You need to talk to Priscilla to find Wimbol’s manor. You can find her in uptown at night; you will need to complete her request first if you haven’t already.

No, I have no plans for anything like that.

Only the windows executable version can load mods from files for security reasons. Every other version is just the browser version, and browsers have various security features that prevent file system access and “fuzz” local file paths, so this is a hard limitation.

In order to load a mod in the web version, it needs to be hosted on the web or localhost, and the URL entered into the game. This is the only way. I host all first party and several third party mods on my personal website for use in the web version.

I do not host romance unlocker, and don’t plan to. For one, I have no way to contact the author, and I cannot host someone’s file without their permission. On top of that, it’s actually buggy and messes up the dates and other romance features.

There is a story requirement; you have to be a little ways into chapter 1 (once you get through the maid academy, you should be far enough). I may remove this stipulation, I wanted to prevent players from getting into debt within the first hour or so of play and getting stuck in a debt loop without enough ways to make money, but maybe halfway into chapter 1 is too far into the game.

If you are referring to the free edition, that’s a bug I accidentally introduced in v0.14 when I was working on the debtors’ prison but didn’t finish. It should be fixed as of v0.15. If you are on the free edition, v0.15.1 was just released, so you can update now and hopefully that’ll fix everything.

If you are on the patron edition, though, let me know, as that bug should be gone!

Mods are listed here: https://outsiderartisan.miraheze.org/wiki/Mods

It’s possible there are other mods out there, but I’m only aware of the ones on the wiki, and I find it unlikely that someone made a mod and didn’t put it on the wiki, so that’s probably all of them.

Yes. But the update is coming to the patron edition in a few hours and to the free edition (this edition) in one week, on the 24th. But yes, the web versions of the game on itch will always be the latest.

If you visit Gray and Carol’s house at night, there’s a chance Gray will be there alone, the first time, you can only have oral sex with him. From the second time and on you can seduce him to have vaginal sex. You can save scum to get Gray to appear alone at night. If memory serves, there’s a 50/50 chance of Gray being home alone at night and Gray and Carol both being home.

Thanks! I’m glad you like SS too. That game is getting an update very soon.

I’m just changing the name of the game, some of the logos and the color scheme. Changes to game content as it is right now will be fairly minimal, though I do want to change the names and terms for some stuff related to the the game’s setting/lore. As it stands, I think saves from the alpha will probably carry over, so that’s how similar everything is planned to be.

Patrons will be getting a (relavitvely small) update on the next few weeks sometime. Currently I’m transitioning from an alpha stage of development to regular content development, which means I have to make more or less permanent decisions on a ton of things that will effect development for the years ahead, plus I want to rebrand and re-release the game, plus I want to add a ton of new content for the first regular release, so the next free edition release may still be a long while.

That said, patrons will get periodic small updates to the alpha as I work on the regular releases, and maybe some of those can come to the free edition if it’s taking too long.

It’s not in the game yet.

Thank you for your detailed feedback!

For the asset loading issues, I’m working on improving this in a few different ways! I think expanding the CDN is probably the way to go, even though you said that didn’t seem to help much, I think the issue has to do with the number of simultaneous downloads, not the speed. Basically browsers limit how many downloads a single domain can have going at once, and I believe that’s the issue here, I just have too many files for the number of domains I am using (1 without the CDN, 2 with it). Anyway, I do think I can fix this, it’s just an infrastructure issue.

For balance, the biggest plan I have right now is to allow players to give up so you can just take the L when you run out of resources instead of having to try to use the dagger. I am open to other suggestions though. I like the focus on magic and MP, and there are abilities that can help you generate more MP, so I’m loathe to just buff the dagger, but that is an option.

For the art, we did, as a design goal, want to make the art cute. I don’t think the characters look that young aside from having big heads and eyes, but we are trying to be careful and make sure nothing looks too problematic. It’s possible to go back and touch up the existing art in the future to make sure that it doesn’t look like that. I think the masturbation pose is potentially just an issue of the perspective, but I’ll take your opinion into consideration and review all the art when I have time. Just to clarify though, all of the characters are instended to be adults, with Meila/Iris in particular meant to be in at least her mid-twenties.

You can go to the tavern nude, though it doesn’t do a whole lot yet. To unlock leaving the house naked, you can go bathe in the lake at the shore, eventually someone will snatch your clothes, after this event, if you also have enough experience with exhibitionism, Meila will let you leave the chapel naked!

Thanks again for all the feedback!

Stuff like this is planned for the future, but Meila is the slow burn “corruption” part of the game, so I plan to take my time with it, starting with stuff like the masturbation scene with her, then I plan to add some interactions to the throne realm. Eventually you’ll be able to bring love interested to the throne realm and also have her interact with your servant.

If you open the journal it should tell you what you need to do to move on in the story. Even if the story isn’t that interesting to you, a lot of areas and characters are unlocked as you move through it, so it’s probably worth doing just to have more options for the sandbox stuff.

It makes her enjoy giving birth (e.g., laying an egg). It just changes the descriptions of the scenes to be more lewd and there’s a possibility she’ll orgasm during it if her list is elevated.

You actually just lay eggs that are basically special potions. You can’t actually make babies :/

1. I don’t have complete and perfect knowledge off hand about everything in the game. There’s a lot of stuff to remember. Of course, I can go look up what I can’t remember, but I know it’s either No Shame or True Whore.

2. You get these by doing exhibitionism-related stuff, including flashing, streaking in the market, public sex/masturbation/urination, etc.

I’m glad you like the game. What things?

I don’t plan to make the game’s source code available, and even if I did, I don’t think making it available for the purpose of modding would be wise. SS’s APIs were designed and modified alongside the game itself, so the source code would not necessarily be a good way to learn. On top of that, some stuff is just plain spaghetti code. Hex, for example, is way better in terms of structure and consistency. That said, I wouldn’t be opposed to sharing snippets of game code that I am able to personally annotate or comment on if there are like specific things you want to see, I also am willing to provide direct help and answers on the game’s Discord (or wherever else) to modders to help them get stuff off the ground. Also, the complete source code of the convent mod is available for modders to peruse.

The throne realm is accessible after reaching level 2 and completing the first quest. To trigger it for the first time, you need to sleep at the chapel after meeting these conditions.

I’m not doing a perfect job of it, but I’m working on both games at the same time as I transition from SS to Hex. That SS is almost done is exactly the reason why I’m transitioning to Hex as my main project.
