I am also going to be posting a patch tomorrow which SHOULD fix this bug forever for everyone. I did extensive testing with a user who had the same issue.
Good stuff! This answer is correct. In addition, we go to great pains to make saves forward-compatible so old saves should work. Thanks, Skyridermaster!
The only system I have available to compile on is a Mac-Mini. If you're feeling adventurous the engine is available on Bitbucket so you may be able to compile a version on the current chipset: https://bitbucket.org/starlightstudios/engine/src/master/
However, I simply cannot support OSX due to expense beyond what I already have.
Remember the pirate base in the caves? Go there, go south, and look for a path along the frozen water near the edge of the map. Follow that path to the end.
Glad you liked it! Yes, new abilities from attuning charms is on the planned list. It's going to be introduced alongside Hard Mode, wherein you will then NEED the new abilities to survive. Normal difficulty will still have them so you'll have lots to unlock.
I also added some "reminders" in 1.04 about talking to Tiro to get advice. Hopefully that makes the game better going forward. Thanks for the review!
You can get charms to transform yourself without it being a fail state, in fact it's useful in combat! And, the next patch will have a surrender potion you can use. It's currently being tested.
You need to find the secret area in the Villa, examine the portrait of the young girl in the building near the pond and it opens a room near the fireplace in the main hall. You'll find a spooky mask there. Follow that quest. Hopefully you can do the rest without needing spoilers. The Gloves you need will be found during that subquest as well.
You can check the sign near the dev island south end to return to Heronstadt if you want to get anything you missed. There are multiple endings, but if you found the developer island you are "locked out" of the other one. The next patch will allow you to view them from the Hall of Memories (hopefully due out today or tomorrow).
You can toggle fullscreen with F11 or F12 by default.
You can push the shoulder buttons (Q/E by default) to switch characters. The controls should be listed on the UI in the corners in case you rebound them.
All right, I'll make a special compressor. If you want, you can contact me on Discord saltyjustice9737 and I can try to walk you through the various processes.
I am currently pushing a bugfix patch which will deal with that bug (and Rush not restoring MP) so good timing.
At present the art assets are proprietary but if you'd like I could put together a special set of tools for you (promise not to share them!). The game is reasonably modular in how it handles the TFs but you'd need to be pretty good at Lua.
Levels are useful (the testers tend to beat the game around level 30) but aren't a guarantee. Equipment is also really important, so playing the game with an extra high level is only going to make the next few areas easier, but not super duper easy. Still, if you're looking for a challenge then you can restart. It only takes about 20 minutes (if you know what you're doing) to clear the demo's content without grinding. You can actually beat Quinn at level 1 with some luck!
There are several costumes in chapter 5, varying just how naked Christine is in certain spots and changing one particular outfit later on. Chapter 1 is getting a new costume patched in in the next update.
The later chapters do refer to the earlier ones, such as Christine finding Jeanne's artbook.
As for Cassandra. Wow that sounds like a major spoiler!
Yep! Instructions on how to do it are even in the demo, but here they are in case anyone else is curious: Copy your save and Plantchievements.slf from the demo's Saves/ folder to the full version and you're good to go.
There are three chapters out right now. Chapter 1 stars Mei, a waitress from Hong Kong. Chapter 2 (incomplete!) stars Sanya, a clothing saleswoman from Croatia, and chapter 5 stars Chris, a teacher from England. Don't worry, chapter 5 really doesn't have a man protagonist. Trust me.
The command line window is part of the executable's configuration and I believe itch.io suppresses it. Those things are still running you just can't see them. There is a no-audio batch file in there and, at one point, someone else reported that the launcher was just autorunning whatever batch files it found so perhaps that is the issue.
The Itch.io launcher is run by Itch and I just send the files to it. I don't know what the problem is in that case, but if the audio works from the manual execution then there's not much I can do about it. Hopefully it's just a driver problem and won't affect other games.
Download this file (Mega.nz) go to [Install]\Games\AdventureMode\Maps\Nowhere\ and replace the Constructor.lua file with the one in the zip. It has the line that creates the overlay commented out. I don't know why this happens on some machines and not others. Hopefully this will fix the issue.
Doll, Claygirl, Resin Titan (that's the yellow doll), Ice, Glass, Rubber, Statue. There are several variants of each TF that give different endings. There are multiple doll/claygirl endings, for example.
