I'm glad you're enjoying the game.  Computer problems happen.  
Though it is the first time I've ever had a m.2 drive go flakey on me.

WOW, it must have taken you... 10 hours?  12?

No problem.    I  loaded the game and sat on the CTRL key for about 30 minutes skipping through on fast forward to get to the before last chapter.

I understand how frustrating it is not to have your old saves load.  I usually try to NEVER update renpy until I finish a project, but my main drive (with renpy on it) started flaking out on me and I didn't have any choice.   I had  to start rebuilding it with a fresh install.

I hope you enjoyed the update.

Yes, it's because I had to upgrade Renpy (the programming language that the game is created with).
The new versions save the game in a different location, so unfortunately none of the old saves will work.

That's why I coded in 

It allows you to (manually) load the game at Chapter 46.  You can use the built in SKIP function to fast forward to the parts you haven't seen yet.

Just updated to chapter 47
Be advised that there is a break in the save games, but you CAN load the previous game at chapter 46 and play forwards from there.

Chapter 46 now available for download!

Just updated to Chapter 45.

Thank you.

I thought it would be appropriate, as Martel was from the same era as the old French used.

Just uploaded chapter 44
Enjoy!

Certainly not a problem, I've been crazy busy the last week.
Just updated to chapter 43 - please feel free to give me a poke anytime I'm running behind.

And I'm glad you're enjoying the game.

Glad you're enjoying the game

It IS!

Available for download now.
Sorry for the delay, I was running behind schedule this month.

I have no idea.  Some kind of Itch thing?  Or maybe there's something in the settings I need to update.  I'll check it out.

Just updated to Chapter 41.

Just updated to chapter 40

Just updated to Chapter 39

Yes, I was using a VPN and figured it was fine because I had two factor auth on my account.    

The game itself is fine, we create & package in house.  And I upload the files directly here.  100% virus free and safe.

There's no order, it's just a companion game.  Set in the same universe with some of the same characters.  It really doesn't matter which order you play them in.

Just updated to chapter 38.
The team is ready for their final climactic battle.

Yes, the game (and the updates) are cumulative, with each update stacked into the game. 
Downloading the latest version gives you everything there is so far.

Just updated to chapter 37

That really wasn't part of the story.  :)
Perhaps in my next game.

Glad you're enjoying the game.
I have contacted them, and thought that the issue had been resolved?

It resulted from my use of a VPN, which they see as people from different countries trying to access my itch account.

Uh, sorry I don't understand the question?

Just updated to chapter 16
Next update will be around Feb 15th, 2025

Also just noticed I forgot to add a comment last month when I updated the game.  :)

No worries, I appreciate you bringing this to my attention.

Recently some users have been commenting that when they pull up my game they're seeing this warning.

Because i'm accessing my Itch account using a VPN.  The countries listed correspond exactly to the VPN locations I use.  Never figured this would be an issue as Itch uses two factor authentication.

Could you remove this warning?  I'm CERTAIN that it's causing both of us lost revenues, as NONE of the players that brought this to my attention bothered to read to the bottom of the page and find the "download anyways" option.

Seems a rather silly thing to do as we are both trying to make money by selling my game.  I am a one man show.   I create, compile and upload the game myself.   On a clean system with no connection to the internet.   None of my games contain any viruses or malware.

I respectfully request you remove the quarantine notice from my games as it is unnecessary and costs both of us money in lost revenues. In the future I can refrain from accessing my Itch account  without disabling my VPN. 

That's exactly what's happening.

It's not under investigation.  As I often use a VPN Itch's security software has flagged it as "potentially suspicious". 

Seems rather silly on their part as I have the two factor authentication enabled.

 I've tried contacting them about about, but have received no response.

Just updated to Chapter 36.

Today! :)

Anytime.
Should have mentioned,  I created and compiled the game on a quarantined system and uploaded it myself. 

Hard to imagine anything wrong with it.

Just by looking at the list I'm sure that the message is caused by my using a VPN and has NOTHING to do with the actual files.
If it's freaking you out you can always grab it from our patreon page.  

I have no idea why you're seeing it and other people are not.  Or perhaps they are and just don't care?  Or something in your pref settings on  itch?

They do have two factor authentication and allow me to login to my account while using a VPN, and scan the files they're hosting for malware & viruses - so I'm going to go way out on a limb here and chalk it up to "an abundance of caution".  

No I have not.

Though I did notice that you still were offered the option of downloading the file at the very end.

I have no clue.
And I have yet to receive a reply from Itch support.  I reported the screen cap you sent me and asked them  for clarification.

I live in the US, and don't have any trouble downloading it with/without the VPN no matter which browser I use.
But I do avoid  the Google & MS browsers.  Are you using firefox?

That's really odd.  I sent a message to Itch but... well we'll just wait and see, shall we?
AFAS is on the home stretch, another half dozen or so updates. 

Isn't much of a choice based VN, but I am having fun with the story.  It's certainly got a rabid following.

!???  Wtf?

I don't see that, at all.  The game simply downloads as it's supposed to.  I even tried hitting it using a VPN, without logging into my account AND using a different browser... and it worked just fine.

What's your country?  Anyone else seeing this?

The Itch stats page for the game show that half the people that looked at the game yesterday downloaded it... which seems normal.

I've opened a ticket, and asked one of the Itch staff to check it out.  Or at least give me answer as to why it's happening.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Uh... what?
I'm not seeing that at all.  

A little bit of snafu, chapter 35.1 is a last minute fix for 35.
The download files have been updated.

Just updated, Chapters 34 & 35 are combined.  So Chapter 35 contains all the previous updates.

Uploading 34-35 now, will be available in a couple of hours.

Yes.

34 & 35 were combined into a single release which comes out... in a couple of days?  Certainly before the end of the week,

Was scheduled for the 18th (November), but it may be a day or two early.
