Preface: At no point during this update was Summer running the counter, so you could only buy food from the vending machine and not healing items. I don't know about other people, but I usually end up using 1-2 bandages per fight. There were probably other examples of Summer being missing, but this
update was probably the most noticeable as you were supposed to prepare
to leave on this big mission, but you were unable to check/supply
yourself with the appropriate supplies. Janet's KCal doesn't fill fast
enough to reliably rely on her for healing in every battle, so bandages are the go to healing item.
Suggestion: Have a way to either purchase Bandages (or other items other than food) from the vending machine, or a way to access Summer's shop when she isn't available.
I started playing again after missing update 18.1 and I gotta say, I initially thought the only character that was genuinely stupid was Rachel, but I was wrong. Amber doesn't have a single braincell in her Dog-eared head. Janet must have absorbed them through a mutated variant of photosynthesis.
Edit: Posted this comment way too soon. I met Wires.
Only complaint is that Napalm is a fuel thickened with aluminum hydroxide, not Styrofoam and gasoline; styrofoam and gasoline makes something called styropyro. Other than that 10/10
Looks like there's a minor bug when running this through linux on proton - one of the songs appears to be Funiculì, Funiculà, which, when downloaded, results in broken ASCII boxes. This results in an incorrect filename which causes loading errors during the pizza scene.
Fixing it locally is as easy as changing the relevant filename to Funiculì_Funiculà.ogg, but it might just be best for you to remove the accented letters from the filename and code? That should avoid any weird errors like this
Just a heads up, this sounds like an encoding issue, and even if you change this filename it’s likely to cause future issues.
What’s almost 100% going on here is that the filenames are getting mangled on decompression, as unicode support/implementation in ZIP is kind of a shitshow.
Basically, by default ZIP assumes the encoding of the system you’re extracting to is the same as the encoding on the system that made the archive so when you open it on Linux (an OS that’s bothered to properly implement unicode) stuff gets screwy.
Rather than renaming the file I strongly suggest using software that encodes in UTF-8 by default (PeaZip does this.
7-Zip doesn’t seem to and requires a special option set that would probably be too annoying to figure out if you aren’t the kind of nerd I am.
This shouldn’t cause any issues for computers that are newer than Y2K lol.
This should fix the issue this person is having but do a test with the default windows extractor.
Create your archive with PeaZip, extract it with windows, and make sure the filename is correct. If everything looks good you should then always use PeaZip (or other software known to probably encode in UTF-8) to create your archives and never have this issue again.
I see SO MANY troubleshooting threads caused by this EXACT problem and unfortunately the only solution is using better software.
Guys I MUST bring to attention that The Nipple has an interaction later in the game if you don't throw it away (It's just like 2 lines of dialogue but STILL- Body swap section:])
been loving the game so far but I have come across an issue I can not open my inventory so I can no longer save, My last save was the forced one at the Halloween fight and I was up to the mall level and died. If i could get some help it would be very appreciated.
This could happen if you went through a section that disables the menu and somehow missed the trigger to enable it again. This is meant to be impossible, I'll look through that section to see if I missed something. If this happens you can fix it by opening the sidequests board since it runs the disable/enable menu command.
got the game a few days ago, and i got to the part where Jay examines Amber and Janet, and after the second ultrasound once Amber ate some stuff i accidently went into the room again and it played through the scene again then the game broke, Amber floated of screen and its locked in that room i can't exit and made the mistake of saving before closing the game because the last time i saved was 2 hours of game play previously and i just wanted to ask if there is anyway to fix this or do i have to start a new game? Thank you in advance.
MAJOR SPOILERS, DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED VERSION 17!!!
Is this far enough to make it collapse by default? I hope so. I wish this text box had spoiler options (or if it does, that it made them obvious).
||I don't buy that we are the ones who caused the outbreak on the island, for two reasons: 1, the tent encounter, and 2, the sleeping guy. It makes no sense that we could infect one person, and then in the time it takes us to walk to the next area two other persons not even near the person we infected are already infected themselves. My theories: either the island was already infected (and the leader was refusing us because Someone was controlling them), or the giant rock Levi threw at the island served as an infection vector. We know the virus can work fast once you are exposed to it, but if the military had actually been as dedicated to preventing an outbreak as they claimed to be, then the infection would still need to spread either person-to-person or in the air, and neither of those explain what we saw on the island.||
i need some help I'm stuck in the checkup room i have no other saves i cant move i just got the key card amber is standing to the right of the trash can in the bottem left of the screen janet and jay are standing the center of the room not moving
I didn't count em, but there's a respectably sized selection available. Plus, there's a message once you get em all, so you know when you can finally stop mashing the z/enter button. Takes a while though, and as far as I can tell you don't get anything special besides the plushies themselves from sittin there and doing it, so only bother with it if you really care.
Yes, just copy the "save" folder inside the "www" folder from the old version to the new version. This generally works for all RPG Maker games unless the new version breaks save compatibility.
The collision inside of the candy baron appears to be really out of whack. Granted, it's a trivial side area, so it's not meaningfully impactful, but the left half of the room is mostly missing collision (incl. the top left wall tile), and most of the buckets have no collision.
Can I just say, the Janet-only fight is bullshit? The enemy is immune to both blind and poison, making half of her kit unusable, it deals way too much damage for not having a tank character present, and if it happens to proc confusion then you just lose the fight no matter what. I have tried this thing multiple times, and every time I wind up getting confusion and dying with no counterplay.
The hound fight is without a doubt extremely brutal. I got through it by swapping all accessories to max out defense, using root at the start of the fight, then just spamming unload and heal powder until victory. As for the confuse effect, you just kinda have to hope that doesn't proc.
I think just removing the enemy's ability to inflict confusion would make it okay. It would still be a difficult fight, especially with Janet's best defensive option and most consistent offense option (blind and poison) being unavailable, but it would at least be possible.
I would say that any time a fight is solo, CC effects probably shouldn't be inflicted on the player character because without teammates there's no counterplay. You either are lucky and don't get CCd or you are unlucky and probably die. With teammates you can heal or status cleanse the CCd character as a counterplay, but that's not present in solo fights.
tried lookin up a walkthrough on the hospital looping rooms section, couldn't find one, but I am completely lost and unable to progress. Found the alarm button and the cake room (if that one's important), not much else. Anyone know what I'm still missing, or am I being a total smoothbrain here?
you know, i just realized, since it is stated that the more Amber eats the more heat she emanates, its only a matter of time until they cook meat on her and feed it to her
Nice update! Those were some of my favorite side missions in a while! Plenty of good noms and good new artwork ha, but as always the writing is maybe the main highlight. Feels like I know most of these characters pretty well by now, and it's nice to get to know them better. Especially I feel like we learned a lot more about Madison, I really liked her mission!
Potential huge spoiler ahead, I don't know if there's a way to block it so I'll just use strikethrough:
We finally get trashcans with something in them in this update! It was teased in the past when I was asked if I was really going to check every trashcan, but other than that I think all of them have been empty before.
And if you can believe it, some even cooler things happen than that!
Anyway to anyone thinking of playing it, check it out! And Zenthicks, thanks for continuing to drop bangers!
Honestly, I came for the fetish, but stayed for the writing. It was so well done and the interactions between the characters just feels natural. Nothing feels forced and all the characters develop naturally.
Only real gripe is at times the combat just drags on for real no reason, but it's a minor thing at least maybe have a health bar visible to see how much health enemies have left (or if it already exists, I'm a dumbass for overlooking it.)
Honestly 10/10 game, can't wait for the next update and keep up the great work.
hey zenthicks in the future can you think about adding the ability to have two choices in the story and side quests like in the game some bullshit and the game so far is great just an idea
Incredible experience, don't listen to the Haters. I will say there's kinda this odd like. How do i put it, the dialogue was so well-crafted and the combat was interesting enough that I forgot I was playing a fetish game. Oftentimes I'd encounter a scene or scenario that was incredibly hot, but it's too late, I am already invested in the characters, I am reading the dialogue at 680 wpm and eagerly awaiting the next story beat. All this to say that I vibe with Amber in an ethereal and mystical way. Like, kindred spirit sense. Your character writing so far has been incredible, relatable, and Real.
Hey, Zenthicks, I'm writing a Doc, I have had a lot to say and wanted to communicate that for a while, would you be interested in having a link to the Doc?
A few things to note about what I'm writing in the Doc is that whenever I express something, I tend to exaggerate my feelings on what I'm talking about to help communicate an idea, because I have trouble with communication and find this to be a way to do it effectively enough, and the critique isn't against you as a person, just the game, and finally to make sure we both understand what I'm doing while taking notes, I act as if I'm replying to what's happening on screen, so it may get confusing as to where I am. Course, you'll be able to comment on what I say and correct me on subjects I may misinterpret or the like if you wish. This Doc I feel is gonna be a long project for myself, so here ya go.

i feel like this game was made with me in mind like legit trans girl that can burp well and has gluten allergy straight up describes me

I can't find the thermite material.Please tell me.
It's all in the lab room, there's a pile of metal scrap you can scrape material off with the file in the cabinet.
How did that Burger Guy beat that
To transfer your save, open the “www” folder in your previous instillation, and copy the “save” folder into the new version’s “www” folder.

Anyone know morse code? I wanna know what corn dude was saying
Edit: know that I think about it, it was probs more "the virus is a conspiracy" bs, wasn't it?
It was a full blown conversation between them, with Corn dude trying to say he's still sentient a ton and being ignored
I love raccoon...
Still having the Save Problem apparently, any work arounds for that?
Guys I MUST bring to attention that The Nipple has an interaction later in the game if you don't throw it away (It's just like 2 lines of dialogue but STILL- Body swap section:])
LOL that is actually awsome!

Thank you for the help, It is going to be a pain to get back to where I was but at least I should be able to save again thanks.
Potential spoiler?

Thank you in advance.
If your game softlocked you have to load a previous save, I'll try to figure out what caused this, sorry about that
No problem, i like the game enough that i dont care that i have to restart. Keep up the good work!

yeah when i saw the rock being lobbed i instantly thought of that
i need some help I'm stuck in the checkup room i have no other saves i cant move i just got the key card amber is standing to the right of the trash can in the bottem left of the screen janet and jay are standing the center of the room not moving
How many plushies can you get from the claw machine? I've gotten two so far...
I didn't count em, but there's a respectably sized selection available. Plus, there's a message once you get em all, so you know when you can finally stop mashing the z/enter button. Takes a while though, and as far as I can tell you don't get anything special besides the plushies themselves from sittin there and doing it, so only bother with it if you really care.
is there a way to continue a older version of the game to the newest version? or do you always have to start from scratch?
Yes, just copy the "save" folder inside the "www" folder from the old version to the new version. This generally works for all RPG Maker games unless the new version breaks save compatibility.
^this is correct
thank you so much!
Madison tummy...
The collision inside of the candy baron appears to be really out of whack. Granted, it's a trivial side area, so it's not meaningfully impactful, but the left half of the room is mostly missing collision (incl. the top left wall tile), and most of the buckets have no collision.
whoops! that room is basically the pier's appendix I should probably just remove it
how do you complete the cans with the boxes level
Push either of them to the bottom of the area onto the conveyor belt
Thank you for the tremendous help Zenthick
is there any way to move the two cans in the level with a lot of boxes
You just walk into them and push like any push puzzle. If you're using mouse controls try using the arrow keys instead.
Thank you and can you pls tell me how to beat that level too

Sorry about that, RNG is the worst. I'll take a look at this fight and see if there's anything that can be tweaked to make it more consistent.
I think just removing the enemy's ability to inflict confusion would make it okay. It would still be a difficult fight, especially with Janet's best defensive option and most consistent offense option (blind and poison) being unavailable, but it would at least be possible.

Fastest path from the starting room:
UP
RIGHT
PRESS WALL BUTTON
LEFT
DOWN

DOWN

you know, i just realized, since it is stated that the more Amber eats the more heat she emanates, its only a matter of time until they cook meat on her and feed it to her
I was not expecting to run into a 3008-2, but looking back, it makes sense.
how do you get past the second person on the second track for the 7 ninja after you get dark sword
Minor bug: When starting Taylor's sidequest, they accused me of eating the Mona Lisa, although I had actually not eaten it and had instead stolen it.
I love how even the bug reports for this game have started getting really unhinged.
Thanks, I'll fix that next update

I know a lot about writing and nothing about game balance! :D
Thanks for playing <3
Second the idea of a visible health bar for the enemies (unless I am also too stupid and missing it).
hey zenthicks in the future can you think about adding the ability to have two choices in the story and side quests like in the game some bullshit and the game so far is great just an idea
Update: I love women...
I just wanted to say. Gods forsaken us.
suspiciously monster shaped belly
