If you find any bugs, please send them to me here! It would be greatly appreciated if steps to reproduce it were included, along with what device you're using if not Windows.

Seems like there's a bug with the riverbed fragments and skill locking. When I battle, lose, and retry, the locked skills are suddenly usable. If I lose and retry again they're locked, and it seems to alternate between locked and unlocked for each consecutive retry. This is on Windows.

Developer

Thanks for the heads up. I pushed out an update that I think should fix it. It's an RPGM problem and I'm just stacking safeguards to try and stop it.

I've encountered a soft-lock with the fragment that is fought from the snowfield, where if I use Doomed on Rita and have her use Indomitable it works as intended, then the next turn I use Elusive Winds on Rita on the second turn, it works the way it should. But on the third turn when she gets hit by the beckoning it will do 4 damage and then soft-lock the game. 

Developer

Thanks for the bug report! I thought I fixed this niche interaction but apparently not. I pushed out an update that should finally remove it once and for all, and it's only at the cost of a damage aesthetic.

Found an interesting one by accident, you can softlock yourself in Location A of the Mill on the Third Locus by doing the following:

  1. Move Lyra somewhere towards the middle of the bridge in Location A
  2. Save the game
  3. Quit to title (closing the game accomplishes the same thing)
  4. Load your save
  5. Use the Eidoscope twice

After that you should be on the lower floor with no way to get back up.

Developer

Haha wow, that's a curious bug. Thanks for the report! This seems rare enough and the gallery has the unstuck teleport rope, so I think I'll leave it alone. Mostly because I'm not sure how I would go about fixing this in the first place.

It's currently nearly impossible for me to progress through the museum in the second locus because my game will consistently freeze within a few minutes of loading my save. I can tell that the game is still working, because I can hear the audio of the fight playing out, but the entire screen is frozen. I had this freeze happen once or twice before getting to that point in the game, but it only started happening consistently in the museum.

Developer

I ran through the game and I can't recreate the bug. Can you tell me what you were doing so I can try to trigger whatever it is you're going through? I also don't know what platform you're playing this on, but I've only tested it on Windows.

I'm on Windows 11. I had a manual save in the middle of the museum, by the colored statues, and I would load it and immediately run down to the curator. Then hold CTRL to skip the dialogue and start the fight. I had been going through the fight with various different skills selected and trying different strategies, which would usually freeze a minute or two into the fight, so I don't know if specific inputs are the problem. I did eventually get past it, after that my game stayed running as normal for much longer. Since then I have had occasional freezes in various situations, such as in the middle of dialogue and in the skill menu. At one point I had the game open on a dialogue scene and left the computer for a while, and came back to see it had frozen even without any input.

Developer

Okay, I pushed out an update that should fix it. I can't tell since I can't recreate the bug to check, but I hope it works. Hm, sorry, I'm not sure what's causing it, but I believe it's some kind of compatibility problem? A cursory google search lead me to this: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/rpg-maker-mv-games-graphics-wil... Edit: Actually, there seems to be a plugin or sorts for this? Let me test it out really quick.

It seems like it's fixed. Thanks so much for the quick response!

Developer

Glad to hear it, and thanks for the bug report!

for some reason its constantly giving me image load errors

Developer

Hi, thanks for the report. Can you tell me more? Or share a screencap of the error?

Developer

It looks like your game files are either missing or you somehow spliced two different versions together. Have you tried doing a clean install and moving your save files over?

sorry for such a late response, i have re installed the game (and lost my save files but its alright as i wasnt very far) but it seems as long as i keep the tab for the actual folder open the game runs fine

Developer

Oh wow, I'm really glad you managed to find a fix, and that's the strangest thing I've ever heard. I have no idea what could cause something like that.
