Frequently Asked Questions:
Made by: Daddy Hyperion
Q: When does the next update come out?
A: The public version gets updated thrice per year. In November, January and March. The Patreon version gets updated monthly.
----------
Q: Why is the version number of the public version so much lower than the Patreon version? Are they really that far apart in terms of content?
A: No, both versions got a different numbering system. It’s not like other games where the next month you get the same version that was previously paywalled on Patreon. Since the public version only gets updated thrice a year, those updates are packed with a lot more new content than the Patreon version, where each monthly update has a comparatively smaller amount of new content. In simpler terms, the three free updates each year contain the entirety of last year’s Patreon updates.
----------
Q: Can I keep my save files from the previous version?
A: Yes, within the game’s folder, go to the “www” folder, and just copy-paste the “save” folder into the new version’s “www”-folder. Yes, the entire folder. The config and the global file in that folder are important! Make sure to make a copy of that save folder before you get rid of the old version. HOWEVER, if it’s a save file from a very old version, there’s a chance it won’t run anymore. In that case, feel free to use the prepackaged save files that come with the game.
----------
Q: I can’t seem to save my game.
A: You need to unzip the game folder. The content of a zip file cannot be altered, so since the game saves its files within its own folder, you cannot create any new ones until you unzip the game folder.
----------
Q: There are save files I haven’t made.
A: Those are prepackaged save files made by yours truly. Back in the early days of this game’s development, there used to be problems between updates, where people couldn’t use their older save files anymore. To make things easier for supporters, I made some preset save files with decently leveled characters where everything else has already been found/unlocked, and the characters are placed just in front of the freshly added content. Nowadays, those have become sorta obsolete, since for the most part, people can simply import their save folder into each new update, but I still make them for the Patreon version each month just in case.
----------
Q: How do I reset my game? When I start a new game and check out the gallery, everything’s already unlocked!
A: The gallery right at the start will always have every event unlocked, there is no way to ‘reset’ that. This full gallery was another early edition from the early days when you couldn’t keep save files between updates, so people can still see the new smut right away. This game is made in RPGMaker, which is a very old engine lacking many features you might be used to from other games. Unlike Ren’Py and Unity for example, RPGMaker games do not create permanent save files in Appdata, so there are no permanent unlockables. Each new game you start is 100% fresh, and the Rewatch House you find in the ingame world will only show you what you’ve unlocked this playthrough. The most you can ‘reset’ this game is by deleting the “save” folder.
----------
Q: Is there a Macintosh version?
A: No, to make one, Spedumon would need a Mactintosh of his own. There might be one in the future, once the game is finished. Until then, you’ll have to rely on emulators such as Whisky or Wine.
Q: How about an Android version?
A: Spedumon did work on one, but that requires extra work and effort, and since JoiPlay is able to perfectly emulate the game on Android, for now he sees no need to continue working on it. Spedumon made a tutorial on how to play the game on Android https://itch.io/t/3569182/play-on-android-with-joiplay
----------
Q: Does the game have any other language options?
A: Unfortunately not, english is the only option. Spedumon does not have the money to pay any translators.
----------
Q: Are there any cheats in the game?
A: No official ones, no. However, you can use websites such as https://www.saveeditonline.com to edit your save files. More nuanced stuff like editing your items can be tricky, but adding more gold and boosting your characters’ stats is super easy.
----------
Q: How can I go fullscreen?
A: F4.
----------
Q: Can I use mouse controls?
A: Mouse controls have been disabled, because it caused too many problems. If you absolutely have to use them, you can follow this tutorial to enable them https://spedumon.itch.io/small-on-top/devlog/628915/mouse-wont-work-in-new-public-build-and-a-fix-for-that Careful though, you might encounter some bugs we can’t help you with.
----------
Q: I have a question about this game’s version I found on [insert random third party website].
A: Hold it right there, bucko! The only official places you can get this game from are itch.io and Spedumon’s Patreon page. Any version of this game you come across on any other website has been pirated! We can’t stop you from using those of course, but please do not mention them in the game forum or on Discord. Also, we cannot help you if you’re having any trouble with those versions.
