Post your bugs here...

Here's my first go at this kind of work,

If I exit and enter the startup screen again (where the school sign is)
the game launches the full intro again,song and all.

The game font (like the welcome messege)  is really hard for me to read. Hard enough that i have to read some words multiple times.

Startup screen. When I move the cursor over the wall it shows"secret entrance"
I'm not sure that is intended

When walking into the road from startup screen and getting hit by a bus,the game offers "quit" and "play
Quit kicking me out of the game and Play just repeats the death messege
There needs to be a "Restore - Load" Option after deaths og even "Retry" where
the game would bring you back just a few seconds.  I saw this feature used in 
Betrayed Alliance Book One where the game autosaved for you when you entered a screen with possible death

Please let me know if we're just looking for bugs or also suggesting for better gameplay enjoyment

Hi,

Love the game. I've been playing FC3 on Apple Silicon without major issue. 

However the Silicon DMG file for version FC5 seems to have a problem. I get a popup saying it's corrupt. (Removing the attributes doesn't help.)

Intel version works fine. Have you considered enabling universal builds?

Developer

Let me upload the zip version of FC5 Silicion. Can you download that and let me know if you still have a problem?

The zipped version works properly.

Developer

okay weird...

Hi again,

Not sure it's voluntary, but this room is called "Math Hallway", but it's the English class that's there.


Developer (1 edit)

Technically the English room was closer to the south entrance in real life but I moved it up for logicistal (sp?)  reasons. North hallway was still more the math hallway. 

Hi! 

Perhaps I missed the hint - unless you’ve been to the school, there’s no way to know the class you immediately get expelled from is the English class, as the hallway is titled  « Math hallway » and there’s no time to look at the room before the teacher kicks you out.

Another thing I noticed: it seems the hint Jamie gives about writing a complaint letter comes too late. I discovered that I could write the letter by complete chance. (Perhaps there was another hint I missed).

yes I missed this hint also. I typed up a letter and delivered it but did not know why?

Did you get past the lab? I’m still stuck on the fire alarm puzzle? I can’t find anything to interact with in the lab?

Also save states don’t work on the new version?

Developer

yes every new version unfortunately you lose your saved games. This is because AGS just saves the game to memory and if you change one little thing it won’t match when it reopens the save file. 

You don’t have to talk to Jamie to get the extra points but it helps. 

Try using the stuff from the lab somewhere else in the school :) Not everything has to happen in lab. 

I was able to steal the chemicals from the lab, but haven’t found where to use them yet.

Developer

It wouldn't be an adventure game if you didn't explore and try new things in other parts of the school :)

wow I finally got the chemicals. Perhaps they need a dialog box that says something when you look at them? To grab them you need perfect alignment. I tried many times. 
I also don’t know what to do with them!

g’day from Australia! 
hey i finished the game ! That was a lot of fun. The last clue is very hard to find. It can’t be seen easy so can be missed but then again it is kind of the last step. 

It would be good to know what the possible high score is?

A few more puzzles could be good as I did not want it to end???

Definitely got my $5 American worth!

You could leave the girls locker room dialog on the screen longer as it disappears as your walking.

I never got the special sauce?

Score 166. Was there more?

First time I have ever played as a closeted gay character!

Looking forward to your next game!!!

Developer

So glad you liked it, total score I think is 171 if you find the secrets.

Did I mentions secret sauce somewhere?

And College Quest already in the works :)

Typo here (supposed)


Developer

Got it, will be fixed in next version. Thanks for finding that.

Not a bug per se, but a suggestion...  

In HomeEc room, when talking to most characters, each question is asked twice in a row.

Some level of variation would be nice here.

Developer

Let me check on this...

In many dialogs (such as this one), apostrophes are missing. Not sure whether it's voluntary or not. (its instead of it's, Im instead of I'm, wont instead of won't and so on. Some are misplaced too - I think it should be "teachers' lounge" rather than "teacher's lounge".) 

Yes, I'm a stickler. 


Developer

Thanks thats due to the smart quotes, this should be fixed in the next version.

quite stuck in the game! Can I post here? I am definitely enjoying the game.

Developer

Where are you stuck?

Thanks for getting back to me.

I have the burger (built) its been in the fridge.

I am waiting on the special sauce from the chief.

I have pulled the fire alarm, got to the science room but cant find what to do here??

Also if you put the burger back in the fridge the Principal comes and takes your second hall pass and tux, but you don't have the tux? this puts you in a bit of a loop. Not sure if it is intentional?  

Developer (1 edit)

Good catch, on the bug that will be fixed in the next release.

In the chemistry lab, see what you can interact with.

No worries ill have play, 

Also on the oval should it say 'bad checksum' & 'Trogladore' when you try and go to the right of the screen?  

Developer

Yes that's in an inside joke if you have ever played Peasants Quest by Homestarrunner.com

Okay, after quite some time playing in the physics lab (is this the lab below the science room? It seems unlabelled?),

The table marked “spare table” (or similar), when interacted with, reads “you better not touch anyone else’s work,” the same as the other tables.

Should this be the one you can interact with? Nothing else seems to work.

If you are dead (say, from messing with the tables) when the alarm finishes and the teacher comes in, the game freezes on the hourglass symbol.

If you are in the hallway when the alarm ends, a message appears saying something like “error: contact administrator.”

I’m still stuck!

Developer

Any chance you can post some screenshots for me? Maybe send me a video?

Developer

Ah I see what you're saying and found the issues. This will be fixed in the next version.

Hint: You don't always need to use the Chemicals in the lab.

I can't download the game. The installation guide won't even open

Developer

I just uploaded a new version, please try again.

Tried again, now it says virus detected and won't let me continue 

Developer

Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing here?

Developer

I just uploaded a new Windows Zip, try that one.

We’ve seen Microsoft Defender flag the Windows download with “Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml.” This is a known false positive caused by how some installers/archives are compressed. We’ve repackaged the game in a standard ZIP and submitted it to Microsoft for re-classification. If you were affected, please re-download the new ZIP and re-scan—it should come back clean once Defender updates. 

I think I could use a gentle nudge...

I'm at 160 points. Got the 2nd hall pass, the chemicals, the sandwich... I even found the blue cup.

I was able to get into the guys' locker room for a bit, but can't go there anymore because of a bully.

I tried the chemicals on a bunch of places. Can't seem to unlock the boiler room door. 

Developer

You can outrun the bully, try using the chemicals in a place you wouldn't think you'd use them :)

If you're still stuck there is a walkthrough on YouTube :)

Ha ha ha…  well done!

While I redid the game after updating I gathered these random bits:

  • Whenever points are made, the counter only updates when changing room
  • Glitch when talking to Jamie A. (when conversation ends, it says "guess I'll be talking to you later twice".)
  • When Tony tells "I heard you have some info" to Jamie A., no one told anything about anyone having info about anything at that point (maybe I missed it)
  • Kathy Alex says "accupado"... perhaps should be "occupado"
  • When talking to Matt Rogish, there's a word missing in 2 of his utterances
  • A few times, I saw wierd instead of weird
  • There's use of "facility" when I think it's meant "faculty"

I gathered mored in a bunch of screen captures. Will post them shortly.

"call" should be "called"

missing apostrophe in how's

English class room is unlabelled

Here and there, sometimes there's an occasional underscore character


There's nothing when putting mouse over the tree that suggests something can be done here.


I think it should be Reaganomics, not Reagonomics (could be wrong)


Teachers' Lounge... and "the" should be "they" here.


...keep that "to" yourself


Many things wrong... Perhaps this should be reformulated slightly


medioriche?  I don't know that word... didn't you mean mediocre?


Don't you mean "adorn" here?


Perhaps missing word "inch", or write as 3.5" 


gossip or gossp?


suppose should be supposed


rediculous should be ridiculous


Not sure about veins here... (one of the *banes* of your existence perhaps?)


Developer

Great job on this. Some of these I corrected with the latest version and others I will fix in the next build. Connect with me offline so you can help beta test the next game we create. 

Hi!

I found one more: in the locker room, toilets is misspelled "toliets"

I'd love to beta test the next game.

Great work!  

Developer

email me - ironhide1975 at i cloud dot com.

If if walk into the spill in Home Ec class the game freezes. The pointer remains as an hour glass and won't let me click anything. I've done it multiple times.



I don't if this is a glitch or not. But when i talk to certain classmates a second time, my character will say his "goodbye line" before the other classmate says anything. I can't remember how many students this has happened with but for sure some in Latin class. 



Developer

Cool let me work on fixing these for the next release.

Developer

The goodbye happens when you've already had the conversation with the student. After you get a response it turns that off and the only response left is the goodbye response. 

HomeEc should of been a region instead of a HotSpot. Will be fixed in next version.
