You can report any bugs you find here, or you can just comment below the latest blog post.
Try to explain your problem as best you can and also attach a picture showing the bug / error code if possible. Thanks in advance.
The skill shop gold thing is something I wanted to do for a long time, but I was never in the "right" mood. I finished the system for transfering moeny from skills into shops few minutes ago. Now I just have tu put it into all the right places. I will also look into the 99 number thing.
As for te typos, I think it's high time to adress them. I decided to dedicate the month of november to fixing as much of the dialogue I can. Not only the typos, but entire sentences or topics need to be fixed or improved. Thanks for posting these.
Money transfer between skill training and normal trading is finished. Numbers of owned items in the shop now show properly. Crash has been fixed and unused items have been removed from traders. I will go through some of the text and try to rewrite it. I will release new version in a few hours. Thanks again for those long reports.
Healing was fixed in .5, but it worked only for new saves since I forgot to turn on item reset for that version. I fixed that for 0.23.6, but it is also possible that there is something else wrong. Be sure to tell if it still doesn't work. Zacharias should be fixed, same with the bunkers. I will fix Zacharias remaining on the map even when you recruit him tomorrow.
Transfered my save files (23.4) to the new version (24) after last time saving it the first time I went inside the Monolith cave, the one after giving the Blood stone. I give the Blood stone with Roman, Valdemar, and Marcus. They all disappeared because of the Monolith gate cutscene but only Marcus truly disappeared. The others just go back to their previous location. I tried to find Marcus from the map point there's no one here.
Edit: I tried to reload the save file from before i give the Blood stone and dismiss all of my party member, checked that both before and after I give the Blood stone if Marcus was there and he did. At least now I can continue playing peacefully.
Found a bug~!
Tried to hangout with Helena but somehow I ended up with Billy, the NPC chat sprite is Helena but the NPC's name and ingame sprite is BIlly.
Oh I also found a bug that when you drink a beer you got a notif with +35 mood and -1 wellness, but after i checked my mood it only increased from -60 to -50 which is only 10 mood.
Cabbage soup is not a consumable
Canned food is not categorized as food
Pliers can be crafted despite being an unfinished item
Effect of consuming milk has mixed up description.
2 more places with broken hitboxes
Should i delete old images? it will make this page load much faster.
Buying all recipes from Tadeas doesn't teach you how to make movement speed potion
Entering cutscene about murdering kobolds near Billy's house on bike will cause you to enter state where you are on bike, but use normal sprite and move at normal speed.
Trees continue being bane of every RPGM gamedev.
That might be a good idea. You can also try to put images on external site like imgur and just post links there.
Speed potion is a special case. There is an even that happens in the northern forest area in the first two months. If you get there, you find the potion recipe. If you miss the event, Tadeas will start selling the potion, but not the recipe.
I will check the cutscene
And those trees should be fixed. I released new version with your previous bugs like an hour ago.
Aw, kinda hoping no one would talk about the bike part. It's kinda a useful bug lol. You can also recruit companion while on the bugged bike but still can't enter caves and go to stairs. It's basically speed potion but you can't go to some places.
Got a bug with the poison quest. I sold the poisoned beer for 20k silvers but still tried to report it to the mayor and it worked. Maybe it's not a bug but the Mayor is just stupid enough to believe me without any evidence. They really should changed their Mayor as fast as possible. Now I have 20k silvers and completed the quest...maybe?
Bugs:
John keeps reappearing after finishing the final 'baby steps' quest, whenever you leave map and enter again, he is back.
Using F12 to return to menu and reloading a save crashes the game, not that big a deal though.
Sometimes opening Mr White's shop makes the game crash, fixed in game by visiting another shopkeeper beforehand.
I don't think I see any problems. I tried to raise cooking to 30, created an imprint and started new game. I went to the cave, loaded an imprint and my farming skill changed from 1 to 30. I could learn all skills that require farming 30, my work success chance was higher and my training chance was lower. Everything woked as intended.
When you finish the game and unlock imprints, the game will save the stats of the character you finished the game with. When you start new game, you can use the imprint machine to replace your new characters stats with the stats of the old character. They don't add together, they get replaced. Imprints store both the physical atributes and skill stats, but not the skills and recipes you learn from NPCs. This means that training will be less effective depending on the stats you have gained from imprinting.
If the file says incompatible on the loading screen, then that's intentional. I checked some changelogs and there were couple of big changes between version 24 and 28. The unlocks and settings should work fine, so you can overwrite the old version with the new. Old saves won't work, but unlocks will stay.
Not really. But if you downloaded new version and overwriten the old without realising that your old saves would be incompatible, then you can download one of the older version and finish your old save on that older version. After that, you can download the new version again and overwrite you old version. Your old saves won't work, but you already finished the game on the older version.
Thanks for reporting.
Fixed the hunger potion
Kobold warriors and leaders already drop humanoid meat in 0.29
Traits are still not balanced properly and they will need some adjusting. I will look into it change it if necessary.
As for playing with one hand, you can already do that for the most part, if you have full size keyboard. Num 0 acts as esc and enter is confirm. Only keys that are out of the way are Q and W, but PAGE down and up works just like them. I will try to add proper rebinding into the game at some point though. As for mouse control, this might happen, but not anytime soon.
Last turn memory might also happen, but I don't want to spend too much time on this combat system. I will most likely be replacing it completely sometime in the future. And as for the fullscreen, you can get the exacly same effect by pressing ALT+ENTER. The engine doesn't support any other type of fulscreen anyway.
underchurch bottom right cave with long path
if you go straight up you'll walk into textures
Thanks for reporting this.
It will take me some time to properly fix, but doing this might help you get around that error.
I tried it and it worked for me. Tell me if it does or doesn't work.
I checked and there is a bug that didn't make abomination kills count. I fixed it and I will release new version tomorow.
I don't feel good about you wasting all that time killing them, so I will implement a simple temporary "cheat" menu. I will add a command that will give you 200 abomination kills, so you won't have to go through all that again.
Finishing the game opens the "unlocks" option in the main menu. It looks like this.
It shows you a list of challenges you can try to complete in new save. Doing so unlocks something new, like an outfit, strong weapons or cheats. One of these challenges is to kill 200 abominations. You have only a year to do that (All challenges can be completed only in the first year.) and it takes quite some time to do so and because of that bug, all that time he spent killing them was for nothing. That's why I want to add that temporary cheat, so he can finish the challenge without having to that all over again in the new version.
The bug is fixed, but it still won't count the kills you had on your previous save, so you would have to kill them all over again. It's up to you though.
If you decide to use the "cheat" however, just go to the spot on the screenshot, interact with the picture and input the number you see there. It will give you 210 abomination kills, but nothing more. No XP, no money.
I will release new version in about 10 minutes.
The game asks you if you want to save your characters imprint at the ending section. Doing so saves all your stats and atributes, but not your skills you learned from other NPCs/ Things like basics of hunting and so on.
When you create a new character, go to the secret cave (It's right next to the bridge guard) and use the machine in the top right corner of the cave.
This will replace the stats of your new character with the stats from your old character. Replace is the key word here. It won't add them, it will replace them.
You can also use an imprint, get even stronger, finish the game and save that new imprint. Doing so will make your starting characters become stronger over time.
I think you can apply more states, but similiar states don't stack. For example, if there were two different skills lowering enemy attack by 10% and 20%, then using both of them would simply replace the earlier state. Same goes for damage over time.
I will try to fix burning enemies not showing up in bestiary, but it will take some time.
because I feel the older version Ghoul is much easier to defeat than the new version Ghoul when trying to get the fire blood stone and it's hard to get it inside the cave when the Ghoul comes like 5 minutes after I went in. I already know older version cannot be played in newer version "but what about playing newer version in older version?" I thought. And it looked like I can play my save file but then this happened.
The Ghoul sometimes still sprinting towards me like in the older version and not walking so idk if that's slow enough. The Ghoul walk slow at first but if I saved and loaded the save when the Ghoul is on the screen or near me it instantly starts sprinting towards me like when that ghoul inside the mineshaft attacked
Ghouls should work like this.
When you enter a cave, a hidden variable will start increasing by 1 every ten seconds. Once it reaches certain number, a ghoul will spawn. You will hear a sound to signalise that.
Ghouls are very slow, but they always know where you are and they will follow you untill you leave the area. Once they get close to you (about three tiles), they make a sound and start sprinting. Killing the ghoul makes it dissapear from that area, but entering it again will make him appear once more.
When you sleep or work, the variable resets and you can enter the caves again without ghouls appearing instantly. Each cave area also needs different value for that variable to spawn ghouls. Outer caves, like the beach cave or the rope cave spawn ghouls after about 100 seconds. Deeper cave, like the one with the bloodstone spawns one after about 50.
Bear in mind that this variable counts for all caves at once. If you spend 100 seconds in the beach cave, the ghoul will spawn. If you kill it and go to another cave right away, the ghoul in that cave will spawn instantly because you spent 100 seconds in the caves in total. Doesn't matter which one.
Ghouls pass through walls, because there is no pathfinding in the game yet. They would get stuck on anything otherwise.
They shouldn't be teleporting though. They only reset their position when you leave and enter the area and they incredibly fast once angered, but should be it. What exacly do you mean by teleporting?
I couldn't replicate ghouls teleporting around. They always spawned on one spot and then started slowly walking towards you. I was switching areas, killing them and leaving areas, passing a week and coming back and they always spawned at the same spot.
Is it a specific location that does that, or some specific action?
My theory is that because of the darkness and the fact that ghouls home on you from the start (They don't have a cone of vission like other enemies. They always know where you are and are always chasing you) makes them look like they are teleporting, which isn't the case when you get rid of the darkness.
Good news.
Holly staff is not needed to make the blood staff, so it is OK that you have both of them now.
I did some testing and blood powers are working "correcly". You just need the right amount of SP / Endurance for the skill to appear. Once you don't have enough sp, it will dissappear from your list.
This is not perfect, so I will fix it to make the skill appear grayed out instead of dissapearing.
That's pretty much what ghouls are about. They walk slowly but once they are close to you, it's pretty much over (Unless you are really overpowered). I did some testing and they work as intended. I waited in a cave for ghoul to spawn at t he oter side of the screen. Once he did, I saved the game, loaded it again and he was still walking because he was not close to me when I did save. Same with using speed potion. He only started sprinting when he was very close.
Fun fact, ghouls have speed 5 when they sprint. Speed potion also gives you speed 5, but because of how enemy movement is handled, you will be slightly faster.
Thats the point. They are very strong and you pretty much have to avoid them, which is not that difficult in most cases, but you will need some practice and plan ahead. Get speed potion and buy a lantern. Drink the potion before you enter the caves and switch speed when necesary. Try to lure the ghoul somewhere where you can slip past it without making it chase you at full speed. If it starts chasing you, switch to full speed, try to escape the map and return again.
If you want to fight them, try befriending Zacharias. He is the strongest NPC you can recruit without having to do anything else. Suong becomes the strongest NPC if you take her with you on the first meeting with Mr. White in the basement.
Again, ghouls are meant to be avoided and caves are meant to be very dangerous. But once you get really strong, they will become a good source of weapon XP, since they respawn forever without having to rest.
Easiest way is to kill kobolds. One group always spawns in the forest area with the ruins and a bear. You can also kill bandits, but these are way too strong to kill alone. Only humanoids killed by the main character count, which means you have to do the last hit. Companions can still deal damage to them.
More kobold groups will spawn as you keep killing, making the entire process easier and faster. Keep in mind that killing humanoids gives you large mood penalty. Picking the psychopath trait removes this penalty, but you can also just use alcohol, drugs or do other mood raising activities. Once you have enough kills, Mr. white will appear near your hideout. You can't miss him.
If the letter to meet at the crossroads occurs on the same day the tailor asks for the cure, it'll be stuck on an infinite loop between the tailor appearing asking for help and the crossroads letter dialogue.
Edit: I'm guessing the fix for this is to have a conditional check after the crossroads letter dialogue for the current weeks remaining (to see if it's time for the tailor cure quest), and defer the scene transition until after tailor finishes asking for help (a conditional check on that dialogue to see if the crossroad's scene is active - may need to set an additional boolean variable to track this in this situation). Maybe just add a little extra bit of dialogue after that exchange indicating something like "ok, better go to this meeting". Alternatively, maybe have it simply postpone the crossroad's letter event until after the tailor cure quest week.
There was a typo in the condition check for the outfit from Helena. I fixed it. You will have to get the ending again if you still have the save and it will work now.
Job endings are governed by your highest stat. If you have cooking 10 and everything else below 10, you will get the chef ending. Assassin job is different, because it takes priority over ordinary jobs. So if you kill 150+ humanoids, you will get the assassin ending even if your science skill is 500.
Just to make something clear, this ending system is temporary and in no way perfect, but there is not enough content in the game right now to make proper endings. This will change in the future ofcourse.
do kobold leaders, warriors count as humanoid
Yes. I simply forgot to fill that part of the bestiary out for them. Will be fixed in new version.
Billy's shotgun reloads 1 shell per reload action
This is intentional. Weapons with magazines get reloaded to full in one action. Weapons like mosin nagant or pump action shotguns get reloaded one cartridge at a time.
svd and sks suck
I will be buffing ranged weapons in the future, since they are underpowered compared to melee weapons, especialy for stronger characters.
That said, I want to make single fire weapons cost effective and multi-shot weapons stronger but less cost effective.
For example, Mosin and SKS use same ammunition. Mosin has 140 ATK and SKS has 220 ATK while using two bullets at a time. Obviously, SKS is less cost effective, because two shots with mosin will do more damage per bullet. However, SKS will deal more damage in less amount of time at the cost of more ammunition being used. This makes it useful for rich characters who can deal with the ammo cost, while mosin is good if you are short on ammunition. In that regard, SKS is blatantly better because it does more damage, which means fights end faster and thus less oportunities for your enemies to hurt you.
Anti-tank rifle is an endgame weapon which is supposed to be much stronger than anything else in the game, so it is not really comparable to other firearms. It uses same ammunition as SKS, because I don't want to create realistic ammo items for all the weapons. There would be way too many ammunition types if I did. That said, I will be adding some more ammo types, like RPG rockets, grenades or anti-tank bullets.
some equipment don't show stat change except def value even in "status" menu
This is partialy intentional. In the past, I gave some weapons bonuses to agi or dex to simulate them being more accurate, or faster firing. It doesn't really work like that right now, but the stats are still there and they affect some things like training. I will remove those stats and add a proper accuracy and speed properties to them instead.
It seems there is one cutscene that messes things up. I tried skipping some of them and none broke the sprinting. Concubine cutscene was also skipping properly (First skip put you right before the choice, second skipped the rest. Skipping while selecting the answer was impossible). I will try and search for the broblem towards the end of the week, but if you could remember which cutscene broke sprinting, that would make things much easier for me.
Pause button for cutscenes is something I plan to do in the upcoming days. The whole cutscene skipping system is not great so I will try to improve it too.
You get the citizenship by finishing a simple quest. Talk to Billy about delivering the letter and after that about higher circles. Go to riverstone and go to the mayors house.
Edit.:
The cutscene that might have broken sprinting probably was the one where you meet the german general for the first time. Tell me if you find another one.
Also, I managed to make pausing cutscenes work. Will need more testing to make sure everything works correctly.
Yes! It was the german general cutscene, but I also believe it broke as well on the cutscene Suong and her Grandson are talking about weapons and you have to pick a side on the weapon debate, though I am not sure if it was that one cutscene or another one, but I 100% remember it breaking twice during the story, but yeah the german general was definitely one of the cutscenes that broke sprinting. I'll try to figure out which was the other cutscene breaking the sprinting if it doesn't turn out to be Suong's and Georg's, thanks for the citizenship guide btw.
Also, why does the main menu turn so creepy after you beat the game once holy crap, from soviet colony theme to something straight out of a horror game! And that ominous "The city is waiting" which I don't understand the meaning of quite yet.
You are right. I went through all the cutscenes and the general and Suong ones were missing a line of code. I fixed and I also implemented the pausing and then skiping. I will release new patch tomorrow.
As for the menu, this will be tied to the story (Once I get more of it implemented). I also want to make subsequent playthroughs more different. Basicaly there will be more event's, enemies or dungeons that won't be there on your first playthrough. The Red city will be the part that will differ the most.
I found another cutscene that breaks sprinting on my replay, when the 2 generals meet and agree to find Mr. White, with the pause function you added it becomes a lot easier to figure out which cutscenes are breaking, because once you are done with them opening the menu also opens the cutscene menu like if you were still in the cutscene, and I managed to bypass the glitch by reloading through auto save and just skipping the cutscene before it ends.
That's pretty much the end game for now. You can do the dungeon and get the metal, power source and syringe. Metal is used when you want to train with him. which will raise your stats by a lot. Power source allows you to reset your traits you picked at the start of the game and pick new ones. And syringe raises your stats and mutates you. He also sells quite a few weapons you can't get anywhere else. You can give him the Ichor canisters you can find in the caves to get minor passive bonuses.
Pretty much. Now you can try unlock new outfits and cheats, get different endings and explore the rest of the map.
You can also try and fight Mr. White by talking to the purple guy who stands near the Riverstone Inn. You can fight him multiple times and he will be a little stronger each time.
You can raise relationship with him, but it doesn't really do anything right now, since he doesn't offer you any jobs and there are no events tied to it.
Thanks, I will fix that and release new patch, probably today or tomorrow.
In the meantime, if you ever encounter error like that in the future, you can trick the game to still work. Create the folder structure like in the error message and put blank PNG file with size above 4x4 pixels named "01_Dress08.png" in there. (Sinathir 0.29.5/Graphics/Characters/Equipment/01_Dress08.png) The equipment won't display correcly, but the game should run. Same goes for any other missing asset, like sound files. Just put something with the proper name in the propper directory and the game will run.
Happens to the best of us! It is working properly now thank you!
I got the special name after the 20 Warden kills and I got some answers that confirm what I was suspecting, but holy crap does it creates a ton of new questions... This is probably the biggest lore reveal currently in the game, and was worth the grind to kill White 20 times, is it planned to have the special character impact in certain story decisions? And more importantly...
HEAVY SPOILER ALERT TO ANYONE ELSE READING IT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is the custodian transformation item going to affect cutscenes and the appearance of the character in the sprite? Custodians apparently have black eyes(and do not age) so I was wondering how characters like the General would react if he saw you as a custodian on the first encounter, the whole full Custodian transformation really could change things up. It actually reminds me of Undertale, when naming yourself with the true name of the character you control, it enabled a (incomplete) Hard mode where things got really rough for the player.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Also what is the current age cap for the body growth of the character?
Glad you like it. As I said, the custodian mode is unfinished but should give you a taste of what's to come. There will be exclusive cutscenes and other story moments. The intention is to make playing through that mode different depending on "when" or "if" you use the item.
As for the special item, it only stops you aging for now, but I'm currently working on the main character sprite rework. Once that's done, using the infusion will slowly alter your appearance. The generals and other people will recognize who you really are and will act on it.
All of that is not finished yet and will take some time to add, since there are way more pressing things I need to work on.
Also, last age sprite is for age 17. Full game will end once you reach age 18 (Game ending after the first year right now is only temporary), so there is no need for more sprites. I MIGHT make more sprites for the post game, like one for reaching age 30 or 60, but I don't think that is necessary right now.
The game can be played with some controlers, so I want the tutorials to include keys for both the keyboard and a controler. The tutorial text actualy says:
You can switch between walking and running by pressing "R" key (W, PAGE DOWN).
Which is fine and intended. I want to add a system that detects if you are using your keyboard or a gamepad so I can make the game show only the keys you will actualy need.
The area around Markus' house has 3 wolves but the battle only has 2.
You mean the area with the ruins and a shrine? I was experimenting with that encounter when I was making it. You start fighting one dog, the second one will come before you even get a turn. The third one will appear slightly later.
The idea was to make enemies come at you with slight delay and if you kill them too quickly, the ones that didn't arive yet decided to run away. It's not great though, especialy when you want to actualy kill them all and you have to skip several turns for all of them to appear. I will change that. They will act like any other group encounter in the next version.
I'm recruiting people into my party and the game is acting like I'm calling them (I don't even have a radio) and am saying I am at 0.
I think I found the problem. Fixed the issue.
Don't think this is a bug, but I definitely don't think it's intentional.
I'm not sure I see what's wrong.
If you mean being able to use party member skills by pressing Q and W in the menu, that is intentional, just not comunicated to the player.
Ghouls are supposed to be the game over enemies for majority of the game. Player should only be in the caves for a short amount of time and when you hear the growl, you know it's time to leave quickly. Noclip is a workaround, because the engine has no pathfinding and this is a simple temporary fix. Ghouls will be worked on more in the future. One simple solution to make them slighly easier to deal with is to make them glow a little in the dark, so you can see them coming.
Animal killing no longer affects the mood loss. Morality now does. Once your morality goes to -10, you should stop getting mood penalties for killing animals. Morality can be lowered by killing humanoids or animals.
I checked and I don't see any reason why great coordination should affect wellness. Is there something else you did before you noticed the wellness increase? Joining the church increases wellness for example.
Legitimately cannot find it, even zoomed in. Are they meant to appear after only three room transitions? It made getting the Fire Bloodstone far more difficult than it would have been otherwise. On the topic of Ghouls, consider renaming them Wraiths due to their ability to walk through walls as well as putting them on the front layer so they aren't obscured by the terrain.
It's not perfectly visible, but you can see the red glow moving while in game. But I can adjust it and make it more visible no problem. My goal is to just give a hint that something is there, not to make them light up like a lightbulb.
This is how it looks when I increase the brightness
Their ability to walk through walls is just a placeholder until I get some form of pathfinding working. Without that, they would be completely useless and not dangerous at all. Once that happens, they will walk around obstacles like you would expect them to.
Yeah. That dialogue is very old. It's from a time when the game only tracked number of battles and not actual enemies killed or their type. There are more things like this in the game that I will have to change at some point.
There is a trait with the same name that you get at -100 morality, which allows you to get meat from humanoid enemies.
There should be a popup that appears above your head when you open the box that says "press shift". I will check if it's still there later today.
But yes, the entire learning experience will have to be redone. Tutorial will be split into multiple sections that you can start or play again whenever you like and I will add a screen explaining key mechanics just in case the player forgets them.
Another thing that would be extremely helpful is a "crafting list" of sorts, to know what objects require what skills, crafting tables, and requirements to be made. For example, how the hell does one make nails? Yes, I know its probably pretty easy and i'm dumb for not figuring it out, but in a game so complex like yours, people will most definitely miss stuff like this. If there was this list, then I would be able to see what skill and crafting table is needed to make them to begin with.
I don't see any reason why not. The game already has a bestiary. Having similiar system for items seems reasonable.
I feel like right now, most crafting recipes make sence, since there is not that many of them. The nails for example, can be bought from a blacksmith and he also teaches you how to make them. Said blacksmith also has every crafting station he needs. Furnace for smelting ore outside his house and an anvil to make items out of metal.
Same goes for most crafts. Farmer has a seed bench and he and the hunter also have an oven. Machinist has a lathe and the herbalist has an alchemy table.
It might seem overwhelming at the start and the lack of explanation and tutorials doesn't really make things better, but the world is not that big and you will find all crucial trainers and crafting stations quite quickly.
I couldn't replicate the map getting stuck. I will need more help with that one.
Answering atleast some of these should make it easier for me to track this one down.
As for the bonuses, start a new game and go to the area with the bridge guard. There should be a new cave entrace near him. There you will find all bonuses you unlocked.
Thanks for the reply, hint for new game+ and the game.
It happens after the trio walks out of bunker, then following them once out that first map (I think that map has a lizardman is there guarding a car battery one) has scrolling disabled, but fast travel still works. However fast travel to church if I choose Suong has church map stuck too, so I chose the Russian and had the game finished.
The game doesn't freeze, just the character can walk out of screen not transferring to different map (or trigger event in new game), turn off the game still has the bug. I didn't skip any cut scene.
There (Mr. House place) I think I also noticed something different. When pressing esc (or q, not very sure), an extra menu hud would appear from the regular one iirc. Seem to get different color and texts. It looks like the tutorial hints if I remember correctly.
Should I upload the save somewhere?
When you leave the bunker with the others, there should be another cutscene where you talk with the russian general again. Does it trigger?
Anyway, nothing wrong with sending me the save files. You can send it to my e-mail: quentin11284@gmail.com
I think I found the issue. Uploading 37.5 now. Try to go through the cutscene in the bunker again. If everything goes right, you should see new cutscene play after leaving the bunker for the first time. If it still doesn't work, then please send me the save file.
The unlock says : "Finish the game with more than two friends", which means you need atleast three people with relationship above 49. If you had only Suong and Billy as a friend and didn get the unlock, then everything works correctly. If you had more people with relationship of 50 and more, then something is broken. Please check again how many friends you had and if you had 3+, then I will do some digging and see what's wrong.
I will fix the tomato / beet problem. By the way, it's only a visual glitch. The window reports you got beet, but you actualy get tomato as you are supposed to. Thanks for reporting it.
Skills can be used outside of battle by going into the "Skills" section in the menu and pressing Q / W, PGDOWN / PGUP to scroll through your party members. Not all skills are usable outside of combat though.
Heyo, your game is really good!
I found some bugs:
When fighting drunk there's a chance to this happen whrn attacking with a melee weapon
For some reason whenever I use a Speed Potion I use all of them (And still gain only 1 mood)
(Here was suposed to have a link)
And, is possible to go through the wall here
https://clipchamp.com/watch/st76NJ3IsYE
No problem. Take your time with the drunk melee video, I'm going to sleep now anyway.
In the meantime, I fixed the double potion consumption bug and the map collision error. If you find any more spots like that, posting a screenshot will be enough. No need to spend time making a video.
Thanks for reporting those bugs. I will most likely upload new version once I see what the drunk glitch is about and fix it.
Well that's a lot of bugs. Good job finding and posting all of them.
Fixed the drunken bug, but it's a placeholder fix. The entire section with combat calculations is a huge mess and I will have to remake it from ground up one day. The crash happened in rare case only when you missed / glanced an attack so for now, you will do 1 damage instead of crashing.
Speedpotion double use was fixed.
Shield had indeed wrong weapon type asigned. I changed them to blunt.
Starting weapon perk bonus has been adjusted.
Fast travel combat crash is something that I think is a quirk of the engine. I had similiar crashes, when the game just hangs when you turn it on and throws some kind of error. This happens like twice a year to me though. Battles taking place after teleporting has the same roots I think. I tried to fix it and I think it worked, but I think it can still happen if you are very, very precise with the timing.
The entire kobold den section is horribly outdated and I will be redoing it once I put the faction system in the game. For now though, I just disabled escaping from these encounters.
Most cutscenes don't happen unless you are alone. They don't have any time limits so you will see them eventualy. This was done simply because adding all dialogue for different combinations of party members you can have would drive me mad.
Alcogone removed the drunk negatives partialy. You can drink again and NPCs don't think you are drunk anymore, but the state still remained on you. I fixed that.
Crafting points at 0 is intentional. Skipping the start puts you at your tent and refusing the tutorial. Doing the tutorial moves you one week forward. That's why your crafting points were filled.
Both chat options for Helena and George have been fixed.
Those dialogue options like "Billy" or "Suong" are not working properly. Most of them have no text or the way you get them is way too obtuse. If I remember correcly, you can get the "Suong" topic by reading the post next to Billy's door when he is visiting her. No NPC will tell you anything about that topic anyway, except maybe the bridge guard.
Again, thanks for all those reports. I will upload new version in about an hour.
Kobolds not respawning was a bug. I fixed it.
Ichor spawns right from the start. When you pick it up, it takes about a month for it to respawn. It has like 4 different spawn locations so it is not always at the same spot. Once it spawns, it stays at its location untill you pick it up so you can't just check one location every week and hope for it to move there.
Hi, second time for me to comment.
So why does the UI turned to grey when I interact? Did I press something or the game force to turn grey?
And I forgot to say this, when I select Helena skills, the UI looks like this.
Skill window will be fixed in next version. Thanks for reporting it.
As for the UI turning gray, I will need more information about that one. Screenshot would be perfect.
There are a few instances where UI turns gray that I know of and all of them are intentional. First instance are screens like building window or work window.
Second instance is the choice or number input window.
Reason for this is simple. I don't have the graphics finished yet.
The last instance is tied to the main quest progression. After finishing one of the dungeons, your UI changes depending on your choice made at the end.
Those are all intentional.
If you mean something else, then please provide a screenshot and I will look into it.
Thanks for reporting those. Wolf and was fixed. Shotgun perk was in the game, but it wasn't showing up because of a typo in the code.
Carnivore and vegan are partialy intentional. I could make them exclusive, but I like the idea of making a character who doesn't like eating pretty much anything.
As for your english, it's fine. I have no trouble understanding what you are trying to say.
Thanks. I found the problem and fixed it (Hopefuly). I will upload new version in about 10 minutes (0.38.2 - beta). Download it and simply overwrite your old game folder with this new one. All your previous saves and unlocks should stay and work. Write again if that fixed the issue or if it's still broken.
Hey, firts time here, so i find this erro with the wolf as party member tring to use the item menu in combat.
The error
Thanks for the report. I fixed the issue.
I will release a patch at a later date, since I don't think this is a progress stopping issue.
So this may be some nitpicks but, i can't use the oven in Soung house, despite having bought the "use oven" in Sougn Favors tab.
Also i think that the first letter of the alchemy bench should be in upper case:
Thanks, fixed both issues.
You don't have to bother reporting gramatical and other text related issues, since the game is full of these and will need a full text check at some point anyway. Still, if you report them, I will fix them.
ok man, just wanna say that the game is awesome, depite having to grind so much, keep doing the good work.
ei, i'm sorry if i'm being annoying for reporting these bugs and errors each day that i find them. I'm doing in this way wile i'm playing so i don't forget to report them.
So saing this, i think that the trader in riverstone and the kobold shop that sells stone and wood is in some kind "linked"?
Like if i sell fish for the kobold one, them go in riverstone, and talk to the trader he will also sell those fish for me.
The only difference is the Discont Rate. (sorry for my bad english, i'm not a native english speaker)
You can "spam" this topic as much as you want. Every bug you report will help me make the game better. It doesn't matter if you post one very long post, or multiple short ones.
As for the shop, I accidentaly gave these two the same ID. It is now fixed.
There was and issue with the water wheel. It was using parts the old upgrade system. I fixed it. Thanks for reporting this.
Hello it's me again. If i try to recruit Roman the game will crash and show this: (I have the flavor and the skill Charismati girl btw)
I found a exploit with the quest (Tax the abe). I can tax multiple times the same person by just talking with Petrus. Sadly i can't finish the quest either, i find it ironic. It works like this:
1- Be with the initiate clothes and talk to artisans (Marcus as example), ask about the quest "tax the abe".
2- Then go talk to Petros (he will repeat the same dialogue as when he gave you the quest)
3- Repeat 1 = Infinite money glitch
I'm 100% sure that you all ready know this. When i drive the motorcycle, the sprite will change to the default one, like the girl will be with a pink outfit and a red hair, indepedent of the clothes and the color of the hair that the mc is currently wearing.
other things that I don't know if they are intend as part of the gameplay mechanics or bugs;
1° Billy is not selling rope anymore, and i can't finish the Well construct (because i use all the rope i find with shortcuts)
2° I don't know where to find animals and i can't find no one selling them, not even Billy. (i have the barn constructed)
3° I can't use the "Old fridge" despite having, Basic eletrical and Steam Power generator (I think this one is not implemented yet)
btw why there is a BunnySuit in the game? (I know that you add it because you want but, the mc is 10 year old when the game start, and why did you put PDEF: 25 in it?)
Thanks for all these bug reports. It really helps.
Crash while recruiting Roman has been fixed.
I did some shufling and fixing around and the "Tax the able" quest worked for me now.
Driving sprite is "supposed" to work like that. I will make them work like other character sprites sometime later, since editing those sprites takes quite a bit of time.
Rope is meant to be a rare resource. There is a recipe but it was disabled for some reason. I put it back in. You will learn the rope recipe with "Basics of survival".
Billy should be selling animals. You need to have the barn built and you need to have 10+ relationship with him. I did some editing to those conditions since there was also a minor mistake that prevented him from selling the animals if you had the quest for buying him a new shotgun.
Electricity upgrade was broken. I fixed it and now you should have 25 energy storage together with a basic windmill. The fridge should now work too (Interact with the storage box to install it)
Bunnysuit was supposed to be something like an easter egg / joke. When it was added, it required really high stats to trigger that quest so it would take you several years to actualy get it. I didn't update that quest in some time so it is easier to get now. I will be changing the requirements in the future.
Again, thanks for these reports. I will upload new fixed version shortly.
Version 0.40.2 , which I uploaded few hours ago, should fix all of that. Download it, overwrite your old version and your old saves should work fine and those problems should be fixed. Billy will start selling animals and you should get the rope recipe, together with the working fridge and other fixes.
As for the suit, there are other outfits that work like you proposed. You can't wear them if you are too young. I just never got around doing the same for the bunnysuit, plus the sprites are already in the game. In the future, the suit will be most likely removed and it will stay as a reward outfit for finishing the game in certain way.
Well talking about the bunnysuit again, you can prevent the player from buying the bunnysuit from the tailor, like make that she simply doesn't sell it for the mc, because she is not old enough. i will stop talking about this topic because is a neatpick of mine. Well i will make a review of the game when i finish it. i know that Sinathir is not finish yet, also i need to test orther skills that i didn't choose. maybe i will do a tierlist about the skills that are available at the start of the game, and the ones that you can get from the mutations and the karma mechanics.
Eae, here is a list of Errors and bugs that i found:
1° If you press F12, and press Continue the game bugs out.
2° Now that i have more rope i understand why i don't have a rope in this shortcut. It's broken, i can't use it, and now i can't retriever either.
3° This boss is stuck (i don't think he is suposse to guard this place like this).
4° I think this is a bug btw and not a feature. So apparently the Soviet Bunker doesn't count to the Dungeon limit per week. (And I think it should count, because i can farm this place like a motherfucker and have 100+ Mysterios Syringe, Ancient metal and, Power sorce. I am not even count the normal loot of this place and the amount of guns. Plus theoretically i don't need to fight any monster if i don't want to. So why i can choose if i want to fight or flee a battle? And why the fight just apper out of nowhere?)
5° Some chest appear as the default one and then change to this lockers if i open them, and some don't even change. Examples;
6° Now that i talked to "Walter White" and now that I have given his letter, Soung still haven't change to her "normal stats" and has lost her Hunter Skill. Her like this is so broken that i don't think that dis is intecional, like she is fucking hard carring me like a monster truck. She is steam rolling every fight and can kill alone a Ghoul and Quentin White with essy (Probably).
7° Both of this 2 Quest are still showing after i have finished does.
Now Some minor bugs;
8° The bike got stuck in this place (i can't ride it).
9° This camp fire i is the only one like this. (I may have lit it on fire at night, i don't know)
10° The Shrines of wellness doesn't make a sound when i give 50 silver. (have i wrote this phrase right?)
Btw im Sorry i was supposed to report these bugs yesterday but I forgot. some of them I wrote a while ago in a txt and forgot to report them. They are the last 3.
Thanks for reporting these.
Again, thanks for finding and posting these. Some of these bugs must have been in the game for months or years, but you are the first one who bothered reporting them. Thanks. It really helps.
You're welcome. So about the 6° topic, yes i decide to choose Soung, but i still think that she like this is abitt broken just like i told in the report. About the 3° "That boss is indeed supposed to just stand in the doorway", Some times when I get to this area he just comes at me, and other times he just stands there. That's why I thought something was wrong. But anyway have a great day.
Suong being OP is only temporary. So far there are no consequences for joining any of the main characters so I decided to give the player powerful companions. As I expand the main quest, you will have to do more to get the powered up Suong, the generals, or to access Mr. White's shop.
As for the boss, the soviet bunker is randomly generated to a degree. It consists of roughly five locations and each location has three variations. It's quite possible that there is one variation of that room where the boss sprints after you.
Hello, I started playing on version 0.39.1, and moved to 0.40.2 recently (then attempted it again in 0.40.3).
I know church joining conditions have changed, but I'm not really sure if it's a bug. Petrus keeps telling me where the church is located instead of giving me a test like the questlog tells me. I read the notes on all three shrines, but it doesn't change Petrus' dialogue at all.
I go there, but the church's entrance is locked (as it always is when you start the game). I tried throwing silver inside the tree hole as I did in 0.39.1 to open it, but to no avail, as it just wouldn't open up the option to throw silver inside it.
. 
Maybe I'm just being stupid and I'm doing something wrong, I just thought to report it just in case.
I couldn't enter the church normally since moving from 0.39.1 to 0.40.2 either, but I had already joined the church in my previous save, so I just kept going to the church through the rope near the hideout, since Helena opened up that entrance for me. I can't go through it in my new save though.
A bike related bug too. This one thing happens to me in 0.39.1 as well. While the game doesn't even let me near a cave entrance with the bike, I can get stuck in certain entrances, like at the entrance of Tadeas' house in the swamp. If I get off the bike and move from the entrance, I just can't retrieve the bike, because moving to that tile would make me enter the house, and exiting the house will still put me in front of the tile the bike is stuck in.
Maybe adding a door there would fix that issue, as you can't open house doors when riding the bike.
Also, not really a bug, but something I found funny. You can enter the shower when riding the bike. Nika will ride the bike inside it, take a shower, and get out, still riding the bike. I don't think that was intended, but it is very funny.
Thanks for reporting these.
Church joining has changed a lot and compatibility between old and new versions is shaky at best.
If you loaded your old save where you already joined the church, then you should have a new "armor" in inventory called "Church talisman" or something like that (you can equip it in the "Other" slot). After that, go to the spot where the door used to be and interact with this spot:
The door should open now. If it doesn't work, try to equip / unequip the talisman. If you don't have the talisman at all and you finished the quest in the older version, then that's a mistake on my part.
As for the entrace bike bug and the shower but, I will fix these. Thanks for reporting them.
Yeah, I have nothing like a talisman in my inventory in my old save. And in the new save, I can't even be recognised by the church at all, so I didn't get the church armor in the new save, neither the talisman, nada.
Anyway, I really love your game, it gives off that 'silly but serious' vibe that I often fall in love with in many stories. Keep up the good work, and never abandon this gem of a game.
Please do. The only alternative I have is to load a save on an older version, join the church, and then load said save in the latest version.
Also, not really a bug but possibly an oversight. I know you made caves particularly dangerous to the player at the beginning of the game even with companions, as getting hit for 10% or more of your Max HP will reduce your wellness. The thing is, if I have, let's say 20 Max HP, and get knocked out, I'll get back on my feet with 1 HP if my companions win the fight. Of course, getting knocked out will reduce my wellness if I had full HP, but staying at 1 HP and letting your companions carry you while exploring the caves negates wellness loss, as the most HP I can lose is 1 HP, which is less than 10% of my Max HP if its value is 20 or so. I can just keep healing the others and keep going without fearing losing wellness, as well as avoiding the self healing limit altogether.
Getting knocked out should cost the player wellness as well, or else they can just chat and hang out with adults strong enough to carry them, and no penalty will be given to them for entering a cave they're clearly not prepared to face. I know you've said the combat system is something you have not set in stone in your head yet, but I think that's something to consider.
You can download the newest version (0.40.4). Go to the inn and interact with the painting on the picture. Put in the following code and you will get the church amulet and thus finish the quest. This should fix most problems.
As for the 1HP cheese, this is something I was thinking about a lot in the past and I decided to leave it as it is for now. If I make the penalties for dying too high, then players will just save before each battle and reload if they die and lose too much wellness. I was also thinking of disabling saving in dungeons and caves to make them harder, but that comes with a lot of issues too.
I have an idea for an injury system. If you, or an NPC die, you lose let's say 25% of all your stats. If you die four times, it is game over. NPCs who die four times will be removed from your party. Skipping the week in any way will reset your stats back to normal. This system should make repeated dying not worth it, but will not affect your character long term like wellness loss does.
So...my save file got corrupted somehow. Dunno if it's a bug, or I messed up something. I can play it if I hit "Continue", but if I go to "Load" and try to load this save, or even try to save while continuing with this save, the game crashes, and gives me this message.
I'll give you my save just in case it helps to see what's the problem. It's not much of a loss of progress, as it's not more than 30 weeks if I recall correctly, but it's a save that I only used in v 0.40.4, so compatibility with a previous version is definitely not the problem.
It's some kind of time related error. The game couldn't get your current windows time and date and just gave up.
I have no idea what could have caused it. Could be the game hitching crashing when you saved it, maybe you changed your timezone from previous save time,.. No idea.
That said, this is just an exception that should have no bearing on the integrity of your save file. I made a workaround that will show and "ERROR" text instead of the save date. Saving and and loading should work. Right now, I'm trying to think of a way to release this fix as a patch and not as a entirely new game upload.
Burn Angel reporting himself here to give his report about bugs. Again.
Going inside Mr. White's hideout while on the bike is not a problem. He's cool with you riding your bike around him. But don't you dare get off the bike while you're in his hideout, or he'll cause the end of the world. Quite literally.
This silly boy dissapears from the dungeon if you run away from him. 
Using either a firecracker or a smoke bomb on his encounter will despawn him from the map, thus making even his encounter not dangerous to the player, so there's absolutely not a single dangerous thing in the abomination dungeon. 
None of these bugs are really gamebreaking (although the Mr. White's hideout may make people lose unsaved progress), so it's okay to leave them be and fix them on v0.41.
(Gosh, me alone have made you release 0.40.4 and 0.40.5, haha)
Reporting some minor glitches.
Is the Flying Tumor considered by the game as an abomination? Because it doesn't give the mood boost that you get from killing abominations when you have the Banisher of darkness trait. You only get +2 from the Hungry Abomination and +2 from the Mutated Abomination.
I don't remember if someone pointed it out already, but the battles in the first and second sections of the abomination dungeon have no background, just pure black.
In the cooking menu, the recipes show you the basic mood that food gives you, without changing it if you choose to have either the Carnivore trait or the Vegan trait.
Here, the recipe tells me Cooked Beans gives me +10 mood, but having both the Carnivore and Vegan traits drops it to -20. 
Something that I couldn't make a screenshot of, is that sometimes, the first enemy you fight in a dungeon or cave system will become confused after killing it instead of being despawn from the map. It's not necessarily something bad, as the first enemy isn't something dangerous most of the time, but it's still something to take into account.
I was also testing the skills a player can get from the ichor containers. I've noted that the regeneration skill only works on a killing blow - I'll explain myself.
The skill tells me I heal myself for lvl % damage + lvl of the skill. So, since I have that skill on level 1, if I deal less than 100, I should get 1HP, 100-200 damage would be 2HP, etc. The thing is, unless I kill an enemy with a hit, I don't regenerate any HP. For example, let's say I hit a Mutated Abomination for 300 damage. Mutated Abominations have 400HP, so hitting it again will deal 100 damage, for which I would regenerate only 2HP, not regenerating any HP for the first hit. Sometimes, not even 1-hit kills will make me regenerate any HP. Non kill hits towards enemies with a huge amount of HP (like, let's say the Abomination Brute) will make me regenerate HP though.
Thanks for reporting these. I won't fix most of these for the next update, since I will be releasing it tomorrow (If everything goes well), but I will get to these after christmass.
The final dungeon is unfinished and very rough. That's why it uses random encounters and switches artstyle half way through, together with all the other issues.
Quick update on the regeneration bug. I couldn't replicate it. I attacked a scavenger with a knife, dealt 2 damage (non-glancing hit) and regenerated 1 HP. I hit him with dragunov rifle, killing him in one hit and regenerating some HP. I raised his HP to 3000 and kept hitting him with different weapons for different values and I always regenerated. I put some NPCs into my party, tried again and everything worked as it should.
Only time I didn't regenerate any HP was when I did a glancing hit. This counts as a miss so it doesn't regenerate any HP.
If you have any more information I could use, please post them . You ichor levels, perk screen, stats and weapons. Or you can just send me the save file that did this.
