If you find a bug in game, please send a report here with a good description of what the bug was.
You probably did the same mistake as I.
After getting Valerie in the team, head south to the woods where you'll be able to find the 2nd temple and a boss fight to prgross the story.
Once done with it, head to the fay forest up north, again to do a boss fight and get the key to the manor (their is additional content in those woods if you talk to the fairies)
then, head to the manor, to the far east of the map, cross the brigde and go up and you'll find it.
complete the manor that you can now open, and when done so, you can go to the beach near the first woods, and use the crystal droped by Lilith in the manor to access the demon nurserie.
When you finish all of that, head to the camp near the volcano, talk to Blake, and the access to the volcano will be open.
Afterwards it should be self-explanatory. If you struggle with what comes after the whole Lakeview quest, ask away and I'll try to detail the rest of the game.
The quest log isn't complete yet, so you'll have to guide yourself through the game to continue, as you can't validate the quest in the log.
Idk if you're stuck and can't keep going (if so I already answered to someone esle above if you want to know what to do) or if you just wondered why the quest didn't validate even tho you finished Lakeview.
I'm writing a guide of the game right now to help stuck player and I should post it in a few day if the author is alright with it.
Are you playing on Mac or Windows. Usually your saves should go into the www folder and then should be located in the saves folder. On mac this can be different as rpg maker doesn't really build well for macs. That said, the mac version should work given that I added a plugin to help with saves. Let me know if this continues.
I kept getting error text before that, saying failure to load angel face or failure to load cat face. Then, the total crash and memory screw up. Restarted whole game, binge played the crap out of it. Made two saves when I got to that point, went through and beat it. But, had an issue with total power because it got nerfed. Decided to erase that save and load up the second one and went back to mansion. Now waiting for next update on game.
Ok that makes sense then, you got a glitch that happened to most player (usually after 4-6 hours of gameplay), where the game will start to have difficulty loading certain NPC's faces, resulting in the error message "Failed to load 'whatevercharacter_face.png' RETRY?"
once you see it, your save file is basically gone, because it'll only keep worsening from there.
the only thing you can is just start a new game, as everything that I tried didn't work ( like deleting then redownloading the game but keeping the save file). The problem seems to come from the saving system itself. As you save more, the game will have increasing difficulty in fetching ressources which will block the game alltogether.
PreggoPixel has already been made aware of this and said that they will look into it, but with the lack of info on the origine of the glitch, it will probably take a lot of time.
Sorry for the long reply and lack of solutions, but until somebody figures this bug out, we won't be able to do much about it beside restarting a new game.
On that note, have a nice day.
didn't know that it was a part of the save system. I usually turned the game off and turned it back on, and that usually worked. Everything from those ruins pretty much killed my save and had to start a whole new one. Was told by pixel that although it is reccomended to start a new save, I can transfer my old save to the new installment without issue.
I tried that as well, but the problem remained.
It had to do with the save file, simply because it is the only variable that didn't change when I was testing.
Picking an old save file or starting a new one doesn't raise any issue.
Lastly, I don't think the glitch is linked to the ruins, but to the otherall mecanics of the game. The glitch occured in the Royal city for me and for some it was in diama's floating temple.
I think it is about the save counts.
I tested a few things, the bug seems to occur so far after a certain number of saves.
So far I tried :
- Completing the game 100% with no saving require (with and without the help of the debug room). The glitch didn't occur
- Doing a normal run (30~50 saves) the glitch didn't occur
- Doing the game with as many saves possible, the glitch happened and past 150 saves, I couldn't talk to any NPC anymore
- Booting a new game and saving repeatedly a the start, I got the same results as previously
I have noticed a few glitchs with the birth mecanics as well, but they are unrelated and you really have to screw with it to get them.
It's a common bug that occurs for unknown reasons, but seems to be linked to the save files.
For now it's only the mansion, but at some point you won't be able to interact with anything and will have to make a new game.
Angel_5.png is the face sprite of the goddess. basically, the game can't load it and will try over and over again and failing.
You sure about that, I have gotten the full sprite on my end.
The sprites have a loop cycle, where when you re-enter the room, it'll load the next "event", hence a new sprite.
The best example are the maids on the 1rst floor, that cycle their behavior between 3 different interactions that change everytime you enter the room.
With the rescued maid for example, she'll follow this patern :
- swipping the hallway
-taking a bath
-brewing tea
for me, it was save 10 (I loop through 10 saves, not sure which number of times it was saved over)
It kept asking for Sanura_4 when speaking to the woman to get into the Royal City slums.
Copying the Sanura_1 file and renaming them _2, _3, and _4 respectively appears to have resolved the issue.
Edit: I’ve realized since then that Sanura sometimes doesn’t say her lines during growth, and never does when the contractions hit, neither does her face change.
It’s not game breaking by any means,I’m just wanting to help with future bugs in development.
