A sexy magic academy, with skintight bodysuits?? · By
Game softlocks for me after the speech from the Ofanizad, can't press anything past that point. It fixes after resetting the application, it's odd that it happened. Couldn't press the menu button or any option to continue the dialogue, or press escape- only thing I could've done was just click 'X' and get back to where I was.
ok so to address one by one:
One Line
The line seems to only appear in fullscreen mode, currently there's no known solution until we figure out what's causing
Config Text
The text at the bottom of the Config screen is actually example text to check your scroll and auto speed, it was packaged into the engine by default lol.
Music Cutting Out/Language
The music not looping and the language change is another known thing we're looking into!
Narration Attributed to Character
So far I've only found one instance of this (Clary) and it's been corrected.
Character Blacked Out
This is part of the engine - each character has an official name in the code so if they're not directly referred to as their official name in the code, they won't be directly highlighted.
Game Soft Locking
This is also a prominent known issue and the solution is given on the main page FAQ!
Keyboard Support
Still currently looking into rebinding keys for this engine so we'll put a tab on this one as it's not a super high priority at the moment.
Tutorial Icons
We'll experiment with the buttons more for sure. This engine is geared solely for visual novels so certain features may be abit harder to implement.
Thank you for the detailed feedback!
Hi! Thanks so much for the detailed feedback.
The music not looping is a known issue highlighted in the main page, so we are still figuring that out! As for the BGs, many of them were acquired from a royalty-free site anyone can upload to, so some AI images might have slipped through the cracks. Custom BG art is something we really want more of for maximum immersion but that will have to be a significant investment.
As for abilities, if you mean that the dialogue choices for other abilities still appear, that's intended! You can click on them but if you don't have the required ability it won't trigger the next dialogue. We might have to find a way down the line that's less confusing but we're still learning the ins and outs of this engine.
Shin will find her way into the story, trust :pray: We want to have Savaasa too but we didn't want to go the original Project WAND route and introduce everyone harem style this time, we want to try and introduce them abit more naturally so every new character can be properly fleshed out!
Lol, that's been a thing since early Project WAND too. I think a lot of it is due to me being quite new to dickgirls so it took time to get used to drawing them and what fans expectations would be. Will try to take into account for when we introduce the canon ones like Shin and Savaasa down the line.
Regardless, thank you for your feedback!
Thank you for replying.
As for the abilities. I was able to click on the other options and get the dialogue for it. I chose Discipline and Authority for abilities and yet I was able to pick an Empathy option and get the dialogue for it. I reloaded and stuck to the abilities that I chose, I just thought it odd that I could click on the other options and get the dialogue for it when I've already picked my abilities.
The game seems to get stuck when you get to the part where you have to select your Character Skill.
The music continues to play as normal, but no matter where you click on the screen, no choices appear. None of the menu buttons at the bottom of the UI work either.
(Also, I know it says Mancer Visual Novel 1.1, but I definitely downloaded the new 1.2 Version and this was the game in that version)
There's also a minor bug where, when Clary is asking Alexis on what race she thinks is the hottest, the dialogue which mentions her brother dismissing whatever you say is doubled in the text box.
Hey! We tested it out. So for the Character Skill being stuck, the freezing appears to be caused if you click through the text box too fast during this portion. If you allow the text to fully scroll, it will proceed and the game will work as normal.
This appears to be an issue with the text box behavior itself, which is why you may see repeating text here and during that Sage dialogue. At the moment there's no immediate fix for this until the engine is updated, but not skipping the game too fast should prevent most issues from cropping up.
Small little thing, but quitting back to title is in Russian (dunno if it's supposed to or not but yeah ^)
