New Alpha Release (1.8.7) is up

The update was broken, but it is ok now!

If you got the bad update then you will need to download a full distribution for 1.8.7. You can find it here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/cbde8c8gz1ukna1/ROCER1.8.7-all.zip.


The new Alpha is ready. Please use the updater to get it. I have played it through, but as there are some divergent paths, there still may be some bugs/issues.

This release has new graphics for the bad end and additional graphics for Iolite in her bedroom. Additionally, a few people have been asking for longer descriptions, so this is the first scene in which has extensive writing by one of our new team writers.

I will say though, I am responsible for transcribing it into the game, so anything that is off is likely to be my fault not theirs. :(

And finally, the object of the game is to not see this scene. :)

    1. I got the same error, except my last 3 lines are:

      Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1
      Ren'Py 6.17.3.327
      HanaFudaFuta 1.8.0

      And of course the initial lines point to the path where my copy of ROCE is rather than Anon's.

  7. Ah something to point out also. When I was updating to 1.8.6 yesterday there would always be this one file that says need update, so it updates then restarts, but then if I run update again it would still say one file needs update then it updates again and so forth. I not sure if update not going through or it's made to do that. I believe similar situation for both stable and alpha updates; would always find a file to update.

    1. Yes, the game updates that file every time you run it. The updater notices that it is not the same as in the master copy and resets it.

      The whole thing is benign, but annoying. I will have to change the updater to ignore it.

  8. I have fixed the update. If you got the bad update, download the complete distribution from the link above in the main article.

    Sorry about that folks, building against the latest Renpy caused some unexpected issues.

  9. Hey there Oncardam and fellas.
    I've been having a perplexing problem. I've been able to run 1.4.0 without any problems (windows 8.1). Before downloading 1.8.0 I deleted (as far as I know) that older version. However, when I go to open the application for 1.8.0, nothing happens. No window. No activity in task manager. The same with this 1.8.7. Unfortunately I'm not very experienced with the Renpy engine. Has anyone run into something like this before? Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    1. That sounds strange. There are a couple of things we can do to try and work it out.

      Firstly, open an explorer window and type in %appdata%

      In the list of folders, you should see one called RenPy. Rename that folder to something else and try to run the game. (You can put it back afterwards if it doesn't work.)

      If that doesn't work, go to http://www.renpy.org/latest.html and download the Renpy SDK. Unzip it somewhere and run RenPy. If that doesn't work then there is an issue with Renpy. If it does then there is some more we can do to find out the issue. Let me know and I will walk you through the next steps.

      Delete
    2. Thanks for the reply Oncardam! You're the best.

      Folder name change didn't work. Downloaded the SDK and it opened up and ran, so that's encouraging?

      Also, I failed to mention before that I have other RenPy games that continue to run just fine, if that's relevant. One created last year and one from a few months ago.

      I really appreciate your help! I didn't mean to hijack the comments on this post, haha. If you would prefer to email, you can reach me at blubadger6 @ yahoo . com. Otherwise I'll keep checking here.

      Thanks again!

  10. A couple of what looks like bugs I wanted to report on 1.8.7
    1: I cannot get Topaz past 70 in disposition. As soon as the sex acts are done It processes to the next time of day without any messages the she likes you more or anything like that.

    2: This also happened on 1.8.6. Drinking the potion of Vitality gives the following error

    I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

    2. With Topaz, you can only get so far with honey. You have to use the whip to get her that last little bit. :O

      Potion of Vitality will be fixed in the next patch. :)
