Alpha Release 1.8.6 is ready

There are two keys things in this release:
  • I have changed the logic flow as previously, you can get the igniters before you know you need them.
  • All the faces are done. That is, no more blue square with a white question mark (I hope).

Next release will have revised Iolite Scenes. The artwork is ready. I just ran out of time to get it all integrated into the game for this release.

  1. Hi! I updated to the latest alpha, and did a quick start on the 2nd part. I seduced Melliscoria successfully, and while we were playing, I got a chance at getting her pregnant. However, this was the next screen after Melliscoria said we should move on to the dessert.

    I was expecting a placeholder instead of this.

    1. Thanks, I have been getting the odd graphics weirdness lately. I might try updating the version of Renpy the game uses.

  2. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there are the blue squares with the white question mark on the stats pages.

    Is there something wrong with my installation?

    1. Probably nothing wrong with your installation, but with your ISP maybe.

      The update works by first checking what is the latest release available and that worked judging by where the crash happened.

      It then goes and downloads the bits that it needs to update from a large file. That is, it downloads slices of the file, not the whole file.

      The 401 error happened the first time the updater tried to download a specific slice of the file.

      I suspect that somewhere between you and Mediafire, there is a proxy server that is preventing the updater from using the Range option in the HTTP download request.

      As a workaround, you can download: http://www.mediafire.com/download/dmsn2r25988d39b/AlphaPatch.zip

      Unzip it and copy it over the top of your 1.8.0 files.
