Thanks for playing and thank you for the kind words :3 I'm very happy you enjoyed the game!

I don't think it's a dumb idea! I think it would be neat. Unfortunately, it would be pretty difficult to implement because of some of the other systems Thread has going on. I also just have a color theme in my head for all of the characters, and Luc is blue, for better or worse. I admit it maybe was a bad idea to choose a gendered color for Luc, but here we are.

MILD SPOILER AHEAD:

If you get to a certain heart/contact level with Sarah, you unlock nail painting. The color you choose to pain Luc's nails with adds a gradient to Luc's name, using Luc's signature blue and whatever nail color you choose. In the future, you will be able to buy multiple colors of nail polish and swap between them.

Sorry for the delayed response. I've been quite sick.
To address your questions: I do know how large the team will be, but I'm keeping that under-wraps until it's time. I don't currently plan to add more stats. The social stats are generally used to gate dialogue options and story paths. However, having a high academics giving you a boost to research is an interesting idea. I'll play around with it!

Thank you so much for playing and for the kind words! I'm very happy that you enjoyed the game.

Thank you for the kind words and for playing!

The web version has all of the currently available content. Which is chapters 0, 1 and part of chapter 2. I'm still writing the next part of chapter 2, and when it's released it will be available as a download for Patrons first. However, I currently plan to eventually make all content available in the web version. So, don't worry, you aren't missing anything :3

Hi there! Additional outfits are definitely something I'm looking to add in the future! As for Roy, there will be a point in a future version where you, as the player, can choose NOT to pursue him romantically and remain platonic. However, as for what's in the game now, well, Luc is canonically bi and has a bit of a thing for Roy, and it shows. But whether or not that becomes anything more than friends is up to the player.

Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you are enjoying it so far!

Awww. High praise. Thank you! And thank you for playing!

Hi there! So glad you are enjoying the game. As for the achievement, don't do the beginning quest to clear the riverside of shades for a long time :3.

Hi there!

Sorry, but no. CGs, including the adult scenes, have not been implemented yet.

Thank you :3

Thanks for the feedback and thank you for playing. I'll consider rebalancing the Alchemy. Perhaps it is too expensive.

Thank you so much for the kind words! And, yeah, looks like you found a time paradox. Thanks for letting me know! I'll do some revising. :3

Toni's is the bakery on Market Street East. It's near the top-left side of the map. :)

Thank you so much for your kind words. Development is going strong!

Hi there! I'm sorry you are having trouble. Some tips:

Make sure you equip the shade cloth minor artifact from the pause menu or the pre-battle menu.

Move Sarah as far as you can towards Lucas on her turn while still being able to hit one of the shades with her fire spell. Heal Sarah on Luc's first turn.

Try killing the shades that start near Sarah first. They have less health and will die easier.

In the meantime, I recommend the web version.

Sorry you are having issues. MacOS problems are hard for me to troubleshoot as I only have linux and windows for testing. I'll do some research and see if I can figure something out for that version of MacOS.

Thank you! I'm so glad you were embarrassed enjoyed the update!

Thanks for playing and for the kind words! You aren't the first person who has asked for a guide. It's definitely something I'm considering making, but, currently, there isn't one. Sorry about that!

Thank you for the kind words! I'm very glad you enjoyed the game :3. And, like, th3saurus said Thread is made in RPGMaker MV.

Gotcha.

Unfortunately, the engine that Thread runs on doesn't play well with Firefox or its forks, like Librewolf. It's something I've been trying to fix but haven't been able to resolve yet, and may never be able to fully get working. I recommend either downloading the version that runs on your OS or running the web version in Chrome or a Chromium based browser, like Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, etc.

Sorry!

Hey, there! There text shouldn't be randomly colored. Are you playing on Firefox?

Or this!

Try this!

Thank you! :3

Thanks!

Hey, sorry for the slow response. This was set using plugin parameters. I tweaked the function below to fix it:

Window_SynMenuSelcData.prototype.drawPicture = function(data){
    const window_data = this._window_data;
    const draw_pic = eval(window_data['Draw Picture']);
    if(!draw_pic)return;
    //const pic_names = JSON.parse(data['Pictures'] || []); edited by Icosa for Thread, 2025
    const pic_names = data['Pictures'] || [];
    const pic_index = eval(window_data['Picture Index']);
    const pic_name = pic_names[pic_index];
    if(!pic_name)return;
    const bitmap = ImageManager.loadPicture(pic_name);
    const bx = 0;
    const by = 0;
    const bw = bitmap.width;
    const bh = bitmap.height;
    const dx = eval(window_data['Picture X']);
    const dy = eval(window_data['Picture Y']);
    const dw = eval(window_data['Picture Width']);
    const dh = eval(window_data['Picture Height']);
    this.contents.blt(bitmap,bx,by,bw,bh,dx,dy,dw,dh);
}

Hi there, getting a crash when the menu builder plugin tries to draw a picture to a "selection data window" from a "selection option" "pictures" parameter.

I'm going to try building for android in the next release! In the meantime, the web version is playable on android and the windows version is playable on JoiPlay on android.

Thanks! Were uou using firefox? The web version is buggy on that browser.

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed the game so far :D

I'm glad we were able to get through this on the Discord. Thanks for your patience!

If you are playing on mobile, you can two-finger tap on the screen to go back.

Are you playing the web version on mobile?

Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so glad you enjoyed it :D

I can neither confirm nor deny ;)

Thanks for the kind words. I'm very glad you enjoyed it!

There may be a couple references in there ;)

Hi there, and thank you for playing and for your kind words. As for continuing to play after hitting end of content, that is tricky to do while keeping saves compatible with the next version of the game. Perhaps I could disable saving and do some kind of endless mode when you reach end of content. I'll look into doing something like that in a future release.
