1.8.10 Apha is Ready

Use the updater to retrieve.
A number of flaws have been fixed including missing bonuses from getting Jade pregnant.
The artwork for the Clavielle scene where she attacks the player is largely complete. Only the aftermath artwork remains. I hope you enjoy the new sequences.
Sorry this took so long, but it was done by the emergency backup artist (me) and I am still learning.
Enjoy ...

  1. What's the trigger for the scene with Clavielle? Also, why can't I get Amaranth to speak to me?

    1. You have to be a long way in to the game to get the Clavielle scene including having Amaranth speaking to you. Jade, Flame, and Z must have been pregnant at least once and most of the others have to be in love with you.

  2. I had a crash when I was talking with Citrine in the gardens and it corrupted my savegames so the game does no longer recognize them. Copy/paste from traceback:

    1. Thanks for the detail bug reports. I will get onto them.

      The good news is that you saved games are ok. When a saved game is loaded, the first thing that happens is that it is re-saved as the current game. This is failing.

      My German is a little rusty, but it looks like the old current save is still open for some reason.

      Go look in %Appdata%/Renpy/Persistent

      Try deleting the file '0000HanaFudaFuta-ROCE-Alpha2'

      I have fixed those other issues in the source code. (Thanks for the file and line numbers.)

      They will be included with 1.8.11

    1. Hi,
      We have some volunteer and some paid artists already. We cover the expenses of all artists participating and some receive a small per-image fee as well.

      We have a modest budget from crowd funding of which there is 25% remaining. We probably have around that in images remaining as well.

      The startup cost for an artist is around $100 per character, so I am reluctant to take on other artists. I have funded 5 x the player character (one per artist) which is around 12% of the budget by itself.

      Add to that that my local currency has dipped about 15% against the US$ since the crowd funding paid out, taking on another paid artists just now does not make sense.

      Despite those circumstances, I think we are well more than half way through. The artists we have are doing a great job and I will keep back-filling where required.

      I am also making a regular modest contribution to the budget so we can keep going and will get there in the end.

    2. First I would like to suggest an event if the players fatigue gets too high. Since you can't see the fatigue value ingame and some players might not be aware the fatigue mechanic exists there could be a daily event which tells the player you are somewhat tired (24 < fatigue < 48), tired (48 < fatigue < 72), very tired (72 < fatigue < 96) or extremly tired (96 < fatigue). Onwards to bugs:

      Zarielle's garden sex scene, Sex.rpy, line 1924:
      if player.RoundScore() < 6:
      The 6 should be replaced with FZ_continue_points, otherwise it doesn't get harder to continue the encounter.

      While talking with Jeclara about getting Jade pregnant she tells Bailey the fertile phase of her daughter but this does not appear on Jade's stat page. The reason is probably Patrol.rpy, line 583:
      $ jade.fertKnown = True
      From my limited understanding of the code jade -> gs.Jade

    3. Bug:
      I got two butt plugs from Dzazd after getting her friendly. Possible explanation: Making her friendly triggers DzazdFriendly but if you restart the game after that but before talking to her again then on restart also DzazdFix is triggered.

      Typos:
      In Conversations.rpy line 1031:

      You seem to have encountered the same problem.

      Oncardam, how difficult would it be to change the single current save into two or three, so that you have a (grandfather-)father-son solution? This would give Windows more time to close the open file.

    What is the erors with the game?

    The other question is every time that i update the game in the same alpha version the file bytecode.rpyb is needed to be updated!Is it a problem or not?

    i think in the new version the card games get very hardedr and the cards are fewer.is it true or it is my mistake?

I did have to restart completely but I did not have a single crash today. The downside is that I'm even more addicted to the game. :) Keep up the good work.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. In general you need to do more patrols. For Kitaxxa, she is felane and the smugglers are also felane, so try to have a chat with her after catching one (well, one smuggler alone may not change her disposition enough). And by doing enough patrols you will find certain events which trigger other events which change Amaranths opinion.

      Delete
    2. Thank for the answer.but i have taken the smugglers more than 20 times in the different time ,alone and with thw others but kitaxxa does not start speaking.in the last version i got one scene that 2 knights were in the tunnels and after rescuing them amarnath started to speak but in this version this scene does not appear!

      Delete
    3. Kitaxxa should come to you fairly early in the game to complain about the smugglers. I've found going to "court" triggers different comments that are helpful. You can also try talking to her when she's not in court. If she doesn't talk to you at the being of court wait until she's home or in the gardens.

      Delete
  16. Thank you for making this game. I can't wait until the art gets completed and I can progress further in the game. I had the exception error that others have mention above and as able to fix by deleting the saved file.

    Now I'm running into a new error. It's right after I talk to the Tanzy and have sex with her using the "double cock". I think I also have the conception necklace on, so maybe that's the issue. After I complete with a winning score I get the following error:

    I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

    With this error there is no option to ignore, rollback doesn't work, so quit is really the only option. I've tried coming at her in a bunch of different ways and times. Nothing works.

    1. This is the spot where she should agree to give Kitaxxa her "prize", just so you know where I am in the game. I tried without the necklace and I had the same result, the error.

  17. Ok, I figured it out. I don't force the conversation with Tanzy and let it happen. Then she gives me the "prize". But I did get the following error at the end "-bug- Save occurred with encounter still active, closing encounter." The game then proceeded as if no error had occurred. Keep up the good work.
