What a great update! It's so fun that we're able to see the messenger scene from everyones different perspective.
Usually I stick to one RO on a playthrough, but I love the idea of heading out with a Trigger who doesn't know about the plant powers because Mantis was too busy shooting people to tell anyone~
That's me making sure me down the line doesn't forget that somebody's falling in love with Zed and had somehow missed theyre a salad coversationalist cjsjhcjsj !!!
Enjoyed the update, had a couple of times after choices that it seemed like a page was skipped. Also met the dogs, then had Crave ask me to meet them again later on as of we had not done that. And finally the dog was with us when we came upon the body, but then she was somehow back in the kennel later on and I understand she could have been brought there by someone else but it seemed like she was sticking close to Crave's side right before the body with no mention of her leaving
Probably meased up continuity—a lot of this was written while I was working, so there was a lot of getting up midsentence to talk to customers and then sitting back down π π
I've emptied cache/cookies & refreshed everything but on Trigger's route rn & it feels like things are skipping or something? I had Zed ask why they shouldn't say oral fixation for example & it went to a random but about Zed smiling & Trigger talking about how fast we're walking, asked for one of his caramels & it jumped ahead there too & he called them tough out of nowhere. P sure the error was happening earlier as well but not recalling the specifics, just that the scenes after most of my selections so far have felt kinda stilted & disconnected so I think it's skipping ahead maybe?
Cleared cache again & replayed- most of the issues seem to be fixed so thank you but I think I'm still getting one skipped scene?
After I select the option to ask Trigger for one of his caramels it still skips ahead to the following scene:
" "If you say so," he says with a tone.
"What's that supposed to mean?" you ask, folding your arms over your chest.
"Just that you're playing pretty tough for someone who's playing this dumb." He grins and...is he needling you on purpose?!""
& It feels like a scene is being skipped here since poor Zed asking for caramels isn't even acknowledged lol, no sweet treat for them π
I'm on Trigger's route & playing a Serene Zed- though weirdly the save I made before picking this dialogue says it's for an energetic Zed in that one spot? Unsure if that's part of the bug or I just said something beforehand that made Zed tip over to energetic briefly. Let me know if you need any other info, this is the only scene I'm having the issue with now, all the others seem to be fixed :)
OH EXCELLENT CATCH I forgot to double check that specific choice: INCREDIBLY, you're getting the same answer based on the LAST choice you picked, because the asking him for candy (and the other two) choice just....doesn't have choice code dfkjlh it's just a link to the next page. WILD. anyway should be fixed in a jiffy, thanks for keeping an eye out !!
Glad to help! I think I also found another bug- well before locking into a route, when Zed first meets Marsh & gets to respond to her apologizing for them having wandered too close & getting shot, the answers seems to be pathing incorrectly, answering "good to meet you" seems to take you to the reaction page for having said "if you'd known you would have avoided it" & saying "I didn't mean to" seems to go to the reaction page for saying "good to meet you". Just noticed it for sure when starting a replay for Crave's route rn
& noticed another bug on my replay for Mantis' route, firstly the bit after meeting Marsh def has the responses pathing wrong- I picked the "if I'd known I'd have avoided it" option this time & it seems to go the response for the "I didn't mean to" option. Secondly for the new bug I just noticed I picked a brother this time & set his name as Raheem but when I agreed to have Mantis help carry Zed to the camp the sequence of their brother talking about them having to keep their face covered changed his name to Rana, his name stayed as Rana for the rest of the playthrough as well, not just that one scene. Sorry to keep bothering you I'm just playing the dif routes at work rn & pointing out things as I notice them π
while playing triggerβs route, after the messenger comes up to him iβm just sent back to when he wakes the player up even tho iβve reset cookies and all that. iβll do craveβs in the meantime lol!
I don't specifically keep track of whether or not you've seen the dogs !! I thought I was keeping it vague but maybe not: can you give me a specific example?
I just got this too. If you go with him and meet the dogs, you're specifically introduced to Fern. Then if Crave comes and gets you the next morning, you ask him "Who's Fern?" and he explains she is his dog... and he goes on to ask if you've never seen a dog, even though he showed you them all the previous day.
Oh I see what I did. I try to check if you were with Crave the night before but evidently it's not reading something right. That's gunna go in the pile for the next bulk bug fix update, thanks! Until then please imagine that you are merely giving Crave the opportunity to introduce you to his dog again, his favourite hobby.
ok! so now that the glitches are fixed i must say i loved this update and definitely cant wait for more! ^^ (Though obviously no rush in anything)
near the end there is a small pronoun issue with our parent when we talk about them having\writing journals(?), i made my parent our father and it says "she" instead of "he", but thats just a small thing that really doesn't matter(In my opinion)
Yaaay someone's finally read the update ππππ thank-you for reporting bugs !! I'll look into the guardian pronouns, they were behaving weird during testing too but I'm so trusting I don't check pages that already work after updates so I'll see what's broken there later (maybe after a few smaller bugs/typos have been reported so I'm not pushing a new version every ten minutes π π π )
I'm glad you like it !! I can't replicate this which means that your browser might have cached an older version of the game (meaning it was a reported issue, but I'm pretty sure it's been fixed now: it breaks along the same lines as the other reported errors that I fixed earlier this morning)? Try a refresh, try restarting the game, or clear cookies (mind you, this deletes Twine saves).
Hey! I hate to add on to all of the bugs, but I think something might be wrong with the save function. I started a new game, and even deleted my web data btw. But I did notice when I saved and reloaded, the game would start skipping around. Some passages wonβt appear at all. BUT if I just donβt touch save the function everything is fine.
on another note, the game ends after crave shows us the dogs. On the page where you wake up, and can choose who it is coming around the corner, (crave) immediately after itβs a black screen. Iβm assuming it doesnβt end there?
anyways I love this story. Keep up the great work!
Pile driving the save system I DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH IT I'll have a look at it πππ thank-you for letting me know
EDIT: The chapter transition system was being cute, I'm pretty sure this is fixed now! WRT to your save causing everything to jump around, I THINK that would be incidentally saved through virtue of the transition system being fixed: let me know!
That's...very odd. Like that shouldn't be. possible. as in 222c where you click that link, it is linked directly to the end demo slide (so at least rest assured, that's all the content you could have seen anyway besides my end demo slide: you read the full update!). I think itch is doing something weird maybe in an hour it'll all be okay (< coping dsjfhgs)
Is the chapter supposed to end when Crave says that Roach has sent a messenger? Cause after this scene when I choose next it loops me to the waking up scene
I seem to be encountering the same thing, and when I tried the build save thingy to see if I could get around it, the screen never loads, so I'm essentially unable to do anything.
No, chapter ends with a final route choice....but it seems like no one can get there because chapter transitions real quick broke ππππ I'll have a look later today.
I'm not sure why some people are experiencing this tbh??? You're not the only person still having trouble with it but I can't recreate it anymore and other people have played through til the end at this point so it's not affecting everyone. The only advice I have is clear cache clear cookies (which will delete Twine saves), close tab close browser reopen and try again? Which is a lot and a huge pain I understand but it seems like it's just cached weird for some people. All else fails maybe try again later and it'll end up having been a slow server roll out on itch's end or something?
I'm so sorry for bothering again lol don't shoot me. Just wanted to know if the part about getting the message was the end of the update?
And Crave's option cute out after they come to wake you up. All it shows is a black screen. Again dont hate me lol I'm sorry. Just sharing the bugs i find. β€οΈ
ππ shaking this game and demanding to know why it worked for me and NO ONE ELSE. Thanks for reporting it seems like chapter transitions are borked. I'll have a look later today.
there is a small glitch i found where when we go with crave to see the dogs, After crave says "We'd be happy to have you here, though." theirs a single choice(?) that says "it would be nice to hang around." and or"Dogs make a strong choice.", When i pressed the choice it took me back to where we first meet the dogs(sorry if i misspelled anything or dont make sense, Im tired as hell π)
Oh i saw this now. Mine looped from saying you wanna hang out back to when i chose crave to accompany me.
But maybe is that where the demo ends? I see it does the exact same thing for trigger and mantis. And when trigger asks if you have any questions it all gives the same answer regardless of what you ask.
I remember the original demo ended somewhat further but now I'm not sure.
Theres a loop, as well as several choices that lead to completely different scenes after staying with Mantis, the loop starts after going with Mantis to the plants and being told about the messenger.
I dont know if it is my browser, but after i chose who comes to Zeds room the next day it just goes black on the next screen. (I chose Crave)
With Trigger it goes along further and ends when a letter from roach arrives. Is that the end of the chapter? It then loops back to the morning page.
But I dont know if that is how its written or if something with the page connections is wrong, but for example after Trigger says
"It means...the chance of you being a spy has gone down significantly." And there are three answers. No matter what is chosen it goes to a page talking how his hair is out of place. is that right? it seems kind off sudden and unconnected, but im also not a native speaker so maybe Im just confused bc of that^^"
With Mantis it also ends when the letter comes and loops back to the moring
It'll release on the 13th !! Or right now, for 10 bucks a month, or on the 6th, for 5 bucks a month x) BUT it's coming !! And it's the last one before you just get individual routes and I stop bullying everyone about partner hopping dkljfhdsjk
You commented at the perfect time !! More is coming January 13th (2025, just in case someone is reading this down the line) !! It's also available on Kofi right now ($10/month) or on January 6th ($5/month) but for once I can definitively say when an update is coming ππ also ty for reminding me to make a post about it dkfnakdbfha
I've been regularly replaying and rechecking on this project to see if it gets updated. I'm glad to know there's news of an update now! Take your time with it, excited to see what else we'll see
This one will cover a third opportunity to hang around someone new (given that there's three LIs it seemed to make sense π ) and then choosing your route !! And also maybe murder !! Things move fast for Zed π
Absolutely enamored with this story! had such a fun time playing it, and loved the pronouns and subtle customization we get with Zed (I highly appreciate not being stuck with a certain guardian choice.) Can't wait for the next update, I will definitely be keeping up with this project and your future ones.
Ahh I'm glad you like it !! And yeah I didn't want people to get stuck with a guardian they didn't like because even absolutely low end of the scale it'd just be kind of lame. Customising your guardian makes you care about them at least a little (hopefully !!)
I first played through this quite a while ago and it's been on my mind ever since, I am ENAMORED. I've never experienced an IF that's made me fall in love so quickly, especially with the main character. The way you've built up this mystery around them is just electrifying and i so badly crave more. I also love the little details you put into it like making the background noise diegetic, and the specific detail of saying "these people aren't like you" instead of "you aren't like these people" is GENIUS. It reveals so much about the life of the MC and how they view the world with so little. okay bye ty xoxo have a great day
this was so so fun and i love the characters so much!!!! i really enjoy the whimsical feel of this IF all the different personalities are so entertaining to read and interact with!! thank you for sharing this and i look forward to more!! ^__^
I am excited to know that it will be updated!! <3 and donβt worry, take the time you need to do it, relax, and take care of yourself. Considering what you said, I will be encouraged to play this game more and try each of the options in the game!! β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
I wish I had the patience to add more tracks to it x) maybe one day !! I'm glad you like it though that was my pet feature: I wanted to get it to work because playing music in Twine seemed complicated.
bro this was HEAT. The characters have such different personalities, and the controls are honestly comforting and really really thought out and easy to use. CRAVE HOMEBOY π£οΈβΌοΈ
JFIJSHF I'm glad you liked it !! It's in line for an update but I gotta write in the ability to switch partners one more time before you Decide For Real. I'm also glad to hear feedback about the controls, I'm building this plane as it's flying π
And another wonderful work. You are masterful at creating intriguing ROs (at least I'm assuming Trigger is an RO). I love a moody boy who proves trust is earned. The MC is also a delight. They are a perfect blend of efficient and capable, but also innocent and naive. I am excited to see where this story goes. Thank you for all your excellent WIPs.
Trigger is an RO !! Trigger, Crave, and Mantis ππ and I'm glad you like Zed too fjdnfksnd πππππππ thankyou for leaving comments !!!!
I love this so much and I want to make something similar to this. I saw you use twine but how do you get the words to change? edit: LETS GOOO NVM I FIGURED IT OUT >:D
Ah I got here too late to explain it dskljfhsdkj I hope you have fun !! It's a lot easier now than it was when I started when it required a page of javascript to do (or else I wasn't looking in the right place for the easy solutiond fkjdshfj) I also answer how to code question on tumblr (heartforge.tumblr.com/code-help, plus just my askbox dskjfh) if you're ever curious !!
not trying to be rude but (not based on exact date, but more like nearby seasons or years) when update? also are you currently working on an update for this or some other game
Updates for my games cycle through titles. Right now I'm updating another game, this one is next in line. I don't have an estimate: this is not my full time job so my schedule isn't guaranteed !!
do you think some time in 2025 would be a good guess? or maybe (and hopefully) this summer? [obviously near the end of summer tho since i know how hard it probably is to make games and do life things when games arent your life] {also have a nice day if you arent already. if you are, have a nicer day}

Wait! Just played that route and I love how casually Zed drops that bomb. Yeah, I talk to plants and??
That's me making sure me down the line doesn't forget that somebody's falling in love with Zed and had somehow missed theyre a salad coversationalist cjsjhcjsj !!!
for your end note - i did notice that "mum" was not an option for guardian. its an australian/uk thing
Noted, thanks!
What are the romance options? I didnt see any in the description
They're the three characters you choose between in game π π
Enjoyed the update, had a couple of times after choices that it seemed like a page was skipped. Also met the dogs, then had Crave ask me to meet them again later on as of we had not done that.

Try playing again, this issue was fixed earlier today. If it continues I might need more specific information.

Next build should fix the mix up in responses for the prologue !!
& noticed another bug on my replay for Mantis' route, firstly the bit after meeting Marsh def has the responses pathing wrong- I picked the "if I'd known I'd have avoided it" option this time & it seems to go the response for the "I didn't mean to" option.

Sorry to keep bothering you I'm just playing the dif routes at work rn & pointing out things as I notice them π
No problem these are EXCELLENT bug reports !! I will say though I can't recreate the Raheem bug. Does it happen every time you try it?
There appear to be missing names or something. Not just in this spot either but earlier too. First time reading so I'm not sure what it's meant to be.
I'll have a look !! It's supposed to be your guardian's name.
while playing triggerβs route, after the messenger comes up to him iβm just sent back to when he wakes the player up even tho iβve reset cookies and all that. iβll do craveβs in the meantime lol!
I really dont know what's happening I'm gunna do a reupload because everything is working fine from the launcher on my end.
Alright, best of luck!
AFTER FOUR YEARS WEβRE SO BACK
OMD AN UPDATE
I can't get pass this part π
that was fixed in the last patch so you either need a refresh, start the game over, or clear cookies (which will delete Twine saves) !!
I had a bug where I went with Crave to the kennels to see the dogs, but every scene after treated it like I hadn't seen them.
I don't specifically keep track of whether or not you've seen the dogs !! I thought I was keeping it vague but maybe not: can you give me a specific example?
I just got this too. If you go with him and meet the dogs, you're specifically introduced to Fern. Then if Crave comes and gets you the next morning, you ask him "Who's Fern?" and he explains she is his dog... and he goes on to ask if you've never seen a dog, even though he showed you them all the previous day.
Oh I see what I did. I try to check if you were with Crave the night before but evidently it's not reading something right. That's gunna go in the pile for the next bulk bug fix update, thanks! Until then please imagine that you are merely giving Crave the opportunity to introduce you to his dog again, his favourite hobby.
ok! so now that the glitches are fixed i must say i loved this update and definitely cant wait for more! ^^ (Though obviously no rush in anything)
near the end there is a small pronoun issue with our parent when we talk about them having\writing journals(?), i made my parent our father and it says "she" instead of "he", but thats just a small thing that really doesn't matter(In my opinion)
Yaaay someone's finally read the update ππππ thank-you for reporting bugs !! I'll look into the guardian pronouns, they were behaving weird during testing too but I'm so trusting I don't check pages that already work after updates so I'll see what's broken there later (maybe after a few smaller bugs/typos have been reported so I'm not pushing a new version every ten minutes π π π )
i understand lmao
idk what you did but the game did NOT like the update at all
The chapter transitions are still broken for me. Anyone have a fix for this?
are you playing on an old save? that broke the game(After the first glitch fix) for me, But if not thats weird as it works fine for me
If it's still broken you might have to restart the game, refresh the page, or delete cookies (which will delete any Twine saves) !!
All the three choices give errors, if you choose Mantis, in the scene where you can answer:
"Your drawings are great too."
"You're so talented!"
"You clearly have a lot of love for your work."
Btw, I love the story :3
I'm glad you like it !! I can't replicate this which means that your browser might have cached an older version of the game (meaning it was a reported issue, but I'm pretty sure it's been fixed now: it breaks along the same lines as the other reported errors that I fixed earlier this morning)? Try a refresh, try restarting the game, or clear cookies (mind you, this deletes Twine saves).
Works fine now! Thank you!
AS SOON AS I GET HOME FROM SCHOOL IM PLAYING THIS UPDATE OMGGG
JFJDJF love the enthusiasm hopefully I have it fixed by then π π π
EDIT: It should be fixed now, so now I just appreciate your enthusiasm !! lmfao
Random question where did you get the music/audio for the radio?
freesounds.org !! If you check the credits I have links that should work dfjkhds
Hey! I hate to add on to all of the bugs, but I think something might be wrong with the save function. I started a new game, and even deleted my web data btw.

Yes thank you so much! Unfortunately I have another bug to report π
So on Craves route when Marsh ask if we want to leave, all three choices say: I canβt (go-to:) to the passage β223cβ because it doesnβt exist
anyways ur awesome I really appreciate you taking the time to do these bug fixes!
That's...very odd. Like that shouldn't be. possible. as in 222c where you click that link, it is linked directly to the end demo slide (so at least rest assured, that's all the content you could have seen anyway besides my end demo slide: you read the full update!).

No, chapter ends with a final route choice....but it seems like no one can get there because chapter transitions real quick broke ππππ I'll have a look later today.
EDIT: I think this is fixed now !!
I don't think it is. I keep getting sent back to the same place...sorry
yea, it still loops back for Trigger route. from when Crave delivers a message back to when u wake up :<
I am sorry but I don't think it is, i tried everything from deleting cookies to even playing it on my laptop nothing worked :((
I'm not sure why some people are experiencing this tbh??? You're not the only person still having trouble with it but I can't recreate it anymore and other people have played through til the end at this point so it's not affecting everyone.

I can acess it now Thank you so much ππ
EDIT: I FREAKING LOVED IT SO MUCH, IT WAS SO DAMN GOOD πβ€οΈ
YAY the fix worked !!! SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT !!!! ππππππππ
I'm so sorry for bothering again lol don't shoot me. Just wanted to know if the part about getting the message was the end of the update?
And Crave's option cute out after they come to wake you up. All it shows is a black screen. Again dont hate me lol I'm sorry. Just sharing the bugs i find. β€οΈ
ππ shaking this game and demanding to know why it worked for me and NO ONE ELSE. Thanks for reporting it seems like chapter transitions are borked. I'll have a look later today.
EDIT: Fixed, I think !!
there is a small glitch i found where when we go with crave to see the dogs, After crave says "We'd be happy to have you here, though." theirs a single choice(?) that says "it would be nice to hang around." and or"Dogs make a strong choice.", When i pressed the choice it took me back to where we first meet the dogs(sorry if i misspelled anything or dont make sense, Im tired as hell π)
this was a new save btw*
Oh i saw this now. Mine looped from saying you wanna hang out back to when i chose crave to accompany me.
But maybe is that where the demo ends? I see it does the exact same thing for trigger and mantis. And when trigger asks if you have any questions it all gives the same answer regardless of what you ask.
I remember the original demo ended somewhat further but now I'm not sure.
Demo doesn't end there! Just a lil oopsie. It'll be fixed in a sec.
CONFIRMING: pretty sure I fixed it <3
Theres a loop, as well as several choices that lead to completely different scenes after staying with Mantis, the loop starts after going with Mantis to the plants and being told about the messenger.
Damnit I swear to god I test these things before release idk WHAT happened π π π I'll have a look.,
Nice catch !! There's a lil bit of code nonsense going on in that part, I'll have it fixed in a sec!
CONFIRMING: pretty sure I fixed it <3
I dont know if it is my browser, but after i chose who comes to Zeds room the next day it just goes black on the next screen. (I chose Crave)
With Trigger it goes along further and ends when a letter from roach arrives. Is that the end of the chapter? It then loops back to the morning page.

With Mantis it also ends when the letter comes and loops back to the moring
that shouldnt be the end for mantis and trigger, those routes should end a bit farther if im correct, though ive only played craves route
which spoiler for those who havent played far yet β¬
should have ended around where we (on craves route atleast) tell them we could speak to plants(?) though with this update a bit farther
I think I fixed this !! Chapter transitions decided to be cute so I went in there and set them straight.
as the other person said when we choose who comes in the room the screen turns black lmao,
praying the bugs dont take all your sanity and are easy fixes πΏ
πππ WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHY THEY NEVER SHOWED UP IN TESTING FJDJDBD I'll fix it later today
EDIT: I'm pretty sure I fixed this now!
Aww no problem bugs happen i get it. I'm so glad this is back β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
AAAA this is sooo good omg, cant wait for the next update :)
It'll release on the 13th !! Or right now, for 10 bucks a month, or on the 6th, for 5 bucks a month x) BUT it's coming !! And it's the last one before you just get individual routes and I stop bullying everyone about partner hopping dkljfhdsjk
yayyy im so excited lol
No words to describe how much I love this so far(βΒ΄βο½β)Can't wait for more!οΌ―(β§ββ¦)οΌ―
Obviously no rush to you! Take as much time as you need(ββ’α΄β’β)β€
You commented at the perfect time !! More is coming January 13th (2025, just in case someone is reading this down the line) !! It's also available on Kofi right now ($10/month) or on January 6th ($5/month) but for once I can definitively say when an update is coming ππ also ty for reminding me to make a post about it dkfnakdbfha
this is a very intriguing and charming opening
Thank-you πππππ there's an update imminent !! Just a little more troubleshooting !!
Ngl I'm honestly really excited to see our mutations!!!!!!!
Fjjsjdsjdj Zed's appearance is still a mystery !! Although in the next update you get to set eye colour ποΈ
I've been regularly replaying and rechecking on this project to see if it gets updated. I'm glad to know there's news of an update now! Take your time with it, excited to see what else we'll see
This one will cover a third opportunity to hang around someone new (given that there's three LIs it seemed to make sense π ) and then choosing your route !! And also maybe murder !! Things move fast for Zed π
this was the best demo i ever played
Ahh I'm glad you liked it so much !!! The update for it is coming along nice !!!
Absolutely enamored with this story! had such a fun time playing it, and loved the pronouns and subtle customization we get with Zed (I highly appreciate not being stuck with a certain guardian choice.) Can't wait for the next update, I will definitely be keeping up with this project and your future ones.
Ahh I'm glad you like it !! And yeah I didn't want people to get stuck with a guardian they didn't like because even absolutely low end of the scale it'd just be kind of lame. Customising your guardian makes you care about them at least a little (hopefully !!)
I first played through this quite a while ago and it's been on my mind ever since, I am ENAMORED. I've never experienced an IF that's made me fall in love so quickly, especially with the main character. The way you've built up this mystery around them is just electrifying and i so badly crave more. I also love the little details you put into it like making the background noise diegetic, and the specific detail of saying "these people aren't like you" instead of "you aren't like these people" is GENIUS. It reveals so much about the life of the MC and how they view the world with so little. okay bye ty xoxo have a great day
I'm glad you like it !!!!!!!!! Ahh this was so nice ππππ the update is in the pipeline also: no estimate but it's def being worked on !!!!
I love this game! any plans for future development?
It's up next for an update !! IRL has been chaotic lately, update is about halfway !!
have I already proclaimed my love for this game somewhere? I really don't know, but better just to say it again, just for good measure!! <3
πππππππππππ I'm glad you like it !!!!!!!!! πππππππ
Woah! Absolutely awesome >:D I love the characters! And the mystery of it all is very cool as well. Can't wait to see more!
Thanks !!!!! πππππ I'm glad you like it !!!!!
this was so so fun and i love the characters so much!!!! i really enjoy the whimsical feel of this IF all the different personalities are so entertaining to read and interact with!! thank you for sharing this and i look forward to more!! ^__^
Thank you, I'm glad you like it !!!!! ππππππππππππ I am working away at the next bit as hard as I can go π
Take your time with the update! I am just glad, knowing that it isn't abandoned. Such great games get always abandoned.
No danger of that !! ππππ
Will this game not be abandoned, right? I just need to know that TwT.
This one is actually next in line for an update !! It's about halfway done but there's a little bit of fiddling I have to do π
I am excited to know that it will be updated!! <3 and donβt worry, take the time you need to do it, relax, and take care of yourself. Considering what you said, I will be encouraged to play this game more and try each of the options in the game!! β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
I love that we have a radio to be able to listen to music too without having to worry about it being distracting.
I wish I had the patience to add more tracks to it x) maybe one day !! I'm glad you like it though that was my pet feature: I wanted to get it to work because playing music in Twine seemed complicated.
Just started working in Twine/Harlowe and it seems relatively straightforward, although I'm having a hard time managing when the clip stops...
Ah, I got the benefit of working with a manual stop: I don't bother to have it automatically end!
bro this was HEAT. The characters have such different personalities, and the controls are honestly comforting and really really thought out and easy to use. CRAVE HOMEBOY π£οΈβΌοΈ
JFIJSHF I'm glad you liked it !! It's in line for an update but I gotta write in the ability to switch partners one more time before you Decide For Real. I'm also glad to hear feedback about the controls, I'm building this plane as it's flying π
And another wonderful work. You are masterful at creating intriguing ROs (at least I'm assuming Trigger is an RO). I love a moody boy who proves trust is earned. The MC is also a delight. They are a perfect blend of efficient and capable, but also innocent and naive. I am excited to see where this story goes. Thank you for all your excellent WIPs.
Trigger is an RO !! Trigger, Crave, and Mantis ππ and I'm glad you like Zed too fjdnfksnd πππππππ thankyou for leaving comments !!!!
I love this so much and I want to make something similar to this. I saw you use twine but how do you get the words to change? edit: LETS GOOO NVM I FIGURED IT OUT >:D
Ah I got here too late to explain it dskljfhsdkj I hope you have fun !! It's a lot easier now than it was when I started when it required a page of javascript to do (or else I wasn't looking in the right place for the easy solutiond fkjdshfj) I also answer how to code question on tumblr (heartforge.tumblr.com/code-help, plus just my askbox dskjfh) if you're ever curious !!
Welp...Now i'm in love with this too sighghhhh
ndjfkzn you're in luck because this one is next in line for an update !!
not trying to be rude but (not based on exact date, but more like nearby seasons or years) when update? also are you currently working on an update for this or some other game
Updates for my games cycle through titles. Right now I'm updating another game, this one is next in line. I don't have an estimate: this is not my full time job so my schedule isn't guaranteed !!
do you think some time in 2025 would be a good guess? or maybe (and hopefully) this summer? [obviously near the end of summer tho since i know how hard it probably is to make games and do life things when games arent your life] {also have a nice day if you arent already. if you are, have a nicer day}
I mean sometime within this lifetime for sure, but I'm not going to make any promises: I don't like to make promises unless I can PROMISE, you know?
