Northern Lights is not a virus and has been safely downloaded, unzipped and enjoyed for over 50k downloads.

The only 'danger' I'm currently having to address is daily spam bots commenting malicious links. A problem that is getting increasingly worse and impacting many Itch project page comment sections.

As long as you use the official download options on the project page, you'll have no issues with Northern Lights

The main issue is US based, but Itch and other services have implemented these restrictive policies for their entire user base.

Thanks for giving the heads up about the music player. I'll see if I can recreate it and find a fix for it! ~ Truffle

This is a known issue with RenPy that we're working on a fix for. We plan to implement a chapter select in build 5 to hopefully make this issue less of a pain.

Ooooooo I understand what you mean now. Yes it is a little misleading because of how the gallery is programmed. The 3 empty spots (and 2 for the cinema) are just blank because there's no additional art for those blank 'frames'.

If you have SFW mode turned on some CGs are skipped over in the code, preventing them from unlocking in the gallery.

Hey there, some instances of save issues do pop up between builds that we are working on resolving with a Chapter Select. You should not need to move the save folder, only extract the new build as a new folder. If it still gives you an issue the quick fix right now is to turn on "Skip Unseen Text" in the preferences menu, then in game you can press your tab key or the 'skip' button when starting a new file, it will speed through stopping at each choice option for you to choose.

Stop at the end of the crop top scene and you'll be at chapter 4. Apologies for the inconvenience

Howdy what platform are you on? And have you tried downloading it again (If desktop have you tried extracting it as a brand new folder?)

Yea it's a weird quirk of RenPy. We are working on a Chapter select feature that should be implemented in build 5 to get around this save issue.

The fix for this is now live, apologie

I've uploaded the hotfix, apologies for the issue.

I will have this fix up in just a couple minutes

I'm creating a fix for that right now, apologies.

Hey there, this is a rare bug that we are aware of but still trying to figure out a fix. I'm glad you're enjoying the new update!

The Patreon Early Access release will be December 20th. With public around 2 weeks after. I apologize for the long wait on this chapter.

There are choices that will lead to different scenes, dialogue variations and such. But there is one main path, that all choices are attached to.

Hey there, we just updated the SoundCloud too include both new tracks from Excursions! https://soundcloud.com/northernlightsvn/tracks

Aldric is the only love interest, but options for other encounters will present themselves eventually based on your choices.

Time will tell.

https://splitpeakstudio.itch.io/northern-lights-excursions  The side story is its own VN build. So just download, extract, and run this, and you'll be good to go. We did this so we could ensure that save files didn't get confusing between the main story and side stories.

Yes Outer Wilds is one of several mood board albums that have inspired the music direction of Northern Lights. You can find the soundtrack here on Soundcloud  we will continue to update it with each new public release.

We do have an official soundcloud that will continue to be updated with development. https://soundcloud.com/northernlightsvn/sets/northern-lights-ost

There will be optional side stories coming with time that will spend more dedicated time with other characters.

No hay planes actuales para una traducción oficial al español, podría haber una en un futuro lejano. Hay un botón en el menú de opciones para desactivar escenas e imágenes NSFW.

It's not, development of Chapter 3 is well underway. Early builds just take longer because there are so many art assets to acquire that it adds to the development time. Chapter 3 will be the last of are core sprites for a while, so we should be able to shorten time between releases. But I will always prioritize quality over speed.  -Truffle

Yes

It's already available, just download the currently visible android file.

Just the one, though there will be optional NSFW encounters with one or more characters I will not name.

Not at the moment.

It's between a revision and a full chapter. Approx 3500 additional words, in addition to all the art and music, there are 3 new scenes after where Chapter One originally ended, as well as some revised scenes throughout.

Howdy. The code has been scanned and tested with no results of infection. The newest version of RenPy sometimes results in Windows Defender Smartscreen incorrectly classifying the game as malware. This is a false positive and can be ignored by adding an exception in Windows Defender or clicking 'More Info > Run Anyway

Hey there, thanks for pointing it out. Was trying to figure out something technical earlier and did not realize it deleted the windows file.  Got it all fixed now though.

Hey there, the team behind the unofficial Chinese Translation is looking into why that error is happening. So I'll let you know in a reply when there is a fix.

We're hoping to release Chapter 2 for Patreon early access towards the end of November, and public build 2 weeks after that. 

There will be one main story path, with optional routes to spend more time with other characters. Those optional paths return to the main route.

Liam and Tobin will be returning in limited capacity for future chapters. As well as an extended appearance in a future chapter involving the college winter break.

There is a main story path and just the one romance. But there are branches to spend time with other characters before returning to the main path. While I won't confirm who, there will be a potential for a threesome

Hello. Would you be able to tell me which line, and what the note is?
