Enjoying it so far! I should go back to play around with choices, but hoo boy, Foks is...concerning lmao. I dont like that he, uh, seems to be chasing pain lol
Heehee make sure to download my patched version when you do ;)
Foks my dear, my love, my life, my biggest concern <333 Luckily he's not out to harm himself now that things have been settled, but he definitely has a mindset of no pain, no gain!! [gulps]
Been looking forward to playing the demo. The art and overall design are amazing. But like everyone else I'm having problems with the burger mini game. Even after the time runs out, I'm still stuck in it. That and the issue of it telling me the burger is incorrect even after redoing it. I'll fiddle with it more later but here's a screenshot for visual reference.
Ah, I think I know what the issue is. I'll better explain it in a further update but you need to place the ingredients in the order going from the top to the bottom, so for the burger you were on, lettuce would be placed last before the top bun. I got this code from another source so I haven't touched it up for fear of breaking something, but I'll make sure to make a temporary note as a guide to the minigames on the game page until I can make proper popups that explain how to progress through each one!
Finished the demo. So, I decided to install it directly to my laptop instead of through Itch which helped. Other than that, I had no other issues. I really like the story so far and the minigames are a nice touch. I don't see enough people doing those in vns. Curious to see mc/yns dynamic (potentially?) change with each character throughout the story. I'm already looking forward to the next update. *P.S The title screen for the game is fire.
Thank you! Honestly once you make a VN with a minigame, it's really hard to go back LOL. Major kudos to the code of everyone I referenced and sourced from listed in the game credits.
And hoo man, MC is certainly in for a ride in the upcoming weeks, I hope the next update will deliver on some more crazy moments!
And thank you, I went in clueless to what I was going to do and came out with a title screen that is lowk one of my favorites heheh :3
the game itself its really cute but sadly have a lot of bugs, i am stuck at the messages part, cant see them neither click anything else. also got stuck in the burgers session, even after the time has ended i was still playing the puzzle
It seems there were a few disconnects between my developer build and the public build I put out, all of which are hopefully fixed now that I've done a clean run through on a new build. From what I played, the messages should be fixed, and as for the burgers, the game should end once you fulfill all the orders after time has run out.
I plan to make more intuitive and better explained additions to the minigames in further updates, so I hope these sorts of things don't happen again. If you do try out the new build, please let me know if there are any issues that I should try and replicate and fix--really sorry that you guys have to temporarily play guinea pigs for me... :')
nice work so far but I'm stuck. After the guitar mini-game is there something supposed to be displayed on the phone? text box narration says kian contacted me but i can do nothing else but stare at the blank phone.
i actually did this already. I had the same issue with the guitar earlier as well. I am able to o play the music mini game now but I am still not able to progress after the phone. However there is no error message and everything else seems to work normal.
Ah! I see what you mean. I've gone through the demo and hopefully fixed all the issues you mentioned. An ill-placed couple of hashtags seems to be the culprit behind the phone problem. I've just updated the builds for what's hopefully the last time today. Let me know if there are any other issues and I'll do my best to fix them, thank you for your patience!
Edit 1: Actually I'm being paranoid and doing another itch download test run, I'll update this when I know for sure everything is behaving! Edit 2: Everything works! Fingers crossed!!
Congrats on publishing the demo. I like the story set up so far and I am really impressed with the feel and fluidity of gui and ui. You did a great job on that!
I’m reaching out to let you know there’s a bug with the guitar mini game that causes it not to function and possibly brick the rest of the game. The error reported by renpy says that it’s missing the rbs_v1_melody.beatmap.txt file in the audio directory.
If you ignore the error and continue on, the messaging section in the scene after doesn’t work, effectively stone walling you from accessing the rest of the game (unless I’m missing something ofc). I don’t know if these events are related but they might be as Renpy hates it when you ignore errors. Of course if this is just a user error and I fucked up somehow feel free to let me know.
Looking forward to playing the rest of the demo when I can access it!
That's really strange, I checked my files and it should be in there/it's correctly labelled + it runs fine on my version, but I'll see if I can get someone to recreate the issue or maybe change the file pathing. I'll update you when I find out what's going on!
Hoping to fix this soon so you can see the rest of it!
Ah! I think I found the root of the issue, something about an archive command that excluded txt files. I've fixed it, tested the build, and uploaded new builds so hopefully everything works now! Please let me know if that isn't the case!
I played the most recent build and apart from an issue with the burger mini-game where it either wouldn’t end or that the bun which is supposed to go on top is placed at the start, making it so you can’t complete any orders, I didn’t encounter any further problems. For anyone wondering my work around for this was to just start a new playthrough since that resets any non persistent variables.
Disregarding that, I really dig the art style and the animated sprites (that must have been so much effort). Not to mention the cg’s changing in response to your cursor movement is insane and really impressive. The writing was able to hold my attention well and I can definitely see the potential for a great story. I’ll be looking forward to future updates!
I just put out an update that hopefully fixes that pesky burger save issue! As long as clean saves are used from now on, you should be able to save and load to your heart's content without worrying about game blocking glitches. [crosses fingers]
Besides that, thank you so much for the kind words, I really wanted to put my all into this game so seeing people take note of all the little tricks I did to hopefully add to the experience is so gratifying! I hope that with all this setup out of the way, the actual story can keep you coming back for more... We'll have to see with that Week 2 update heheheh...

Yes! There was an issue with some files not being archived, so if you download the latest version I uploaded, the issue should be fixed!
