Thank you for all the bug reports!

So a couple of things to clarify and resolve.

First the game does require the VX rtp.  Any dll issues is caused by that not being loaded.  You'll see it on the right under downloads.

The brothel will only get customers in areas that pose a threat to you.  Walking around town will not trigger the customer event.  I will be reducing the number of steps that it requires in final though.

Restructured the Tram conversation topic in final.  Should resolve any issues with the final credits not playing after resolving Vanessa and Ariel.

Many other fixes.  I still need a few saves to go along with reports so I can figure out what went wrong.

  1. I've played so free terra after the trial but rescue vanessa then told me I had to get some flowers but leave the shelter and back into the forest Meloni reappears and guide me as if for the first time and I can not continue progress in the game.

    1. Its a known bug. Sometimes the forest resets your progress. That should be fixed for final.

  2. Whenever I try to load the game, it tells me It cannot find Audio\BGM\Town5.

    1. I don't have any custom audio content with that name so it's an RTP issue. Sometimes it just forgets to load something. Uninstall the RTP, redownload and install it again. Hopefully that will clear it up.

  3. I'm not sure if this bug was mentioned before, but towards the end of the current content on the Light path if you have Ariel and Sarah, but you haven't gone in to the house outside of town and gotten Cecilia and Noemi back, you can return to the guest house in the forest, have the first scene with Sarah getting her all-nighter, and then immediately afterwards Noemi is standing there in the bedroom and then downstairs. This is allowing you to acquire her two scenes without having gone through with the plan to rescue her and recapture Cecilia.

    Also, I'm not sure if this is by design or not, but Kathleen is present in the guest house, but Fenaj is not even when Fenaj brought her to the grove. Did Fenaj get sent back to the fortress without telling anybody or does her status as a 'minor slave' mean that she doesn't get to hang around with the rest of the harem until we can revisit Corsix and Eliba?

    1. The Sarah/Noemi think is an acknowledged bug. They just can't wait their turn to bask in your 'light'. But that will be fixed in final.

      Ultimately Fenja was boring. I've been trying to shoehorn some personality into her ever since she was created but ultimately failed. She's going into the closet, never to be seen again.

    2. Oh...I actually like Fenja. She has a cute character model. Sure she hasn't done anything, but she hasn't really had a chance to do anything. She's an optional non-combatant slave you can rescue from the orcs and she can't even be placed in the brothel yet.

      I'm pretty sure if I knew how to write for PGMaker VX I could try to put some personality into her (since I've written over 2 million words on fanfiction.net I think I'm able to do something in terms of characterization) and maybe make her into a decent tertiary character, but I don't.

    3. Fenja's original creator sort of disappeared off the map before the hiatus, so there hasn't been a whole lot of direction with her character beyond just "maid slave, traumatized". She's on the list of existing loose ends, but no promises that anything'll ever happen with her again.

      That said, if you think you can come up with something for her, you're more than welcome to write something up and submit it. I can't make any promises that it'll bring her into the spotlight or anything, but it might make for at least another scene or two with her somewhere along the way.

  4. After I´d gotten back at Ariel, i visited the tram city, but upon leaving the city, it reset my progress

  5. About Fenjia, why don't make her a comic relief character, something with no differencies between light and dark path? For now it would be more than enought to put her in the common house saying something like:
    "Uff, those rooms havn't been polished for ages! And the insects! I'cant believe that i miss the sand... It didn't move around by himself, at least!"

    For the future, if you want to give her personality, she can speak with a strong (maybe nordic) accent. Something like "ye almost forgot about me, me forgive, but now ta give ma ration like the others girl."
    She will became like an expy for Ulla of The Producers (the mel brooks' musical). for anyone who don't know, her introduction was something like:
    "Me Ulla, me here for the secretary job"
    "What can you do?"
    "Many things, for examle every morning at 7 me make exercise, at 8 me eat fishfor breakfast, and at 9 me like to make love. Oh i forgot me clock, wat time is now?"
    "NINE O'CLOCK!!!"

    It's silly but it can work

    1. My sense of humor is ENTIRELY to dry to ever write something like that.

      Delete
    2. I think mine's too dry to also turn Fenja into a gag character should I choose to write up a character for her.

      If that ends up being the case, though (writing up a character for her, rather than making her a gag character), how would you like me to send it to you, Ker? As a character bio or as a sample scene/h-scene between her and Ralph?

      Delete
    3. Fenja has two concerns.

      One - I really don't know who she is. So a character bio would be nice
      Two - She really can't be too interesting. I don't want to put heavily plot dependent character at the end of a completely optional and long side-quest. So she has to be interesting enough, sexy and entertaining without having any real plot significance.

      But I'd be interested to hear what your ideas are.

  6. When your a part of the bounty hunter guild and given a mission to hunt down some pirates. After you finished beating them and look around the house there will be a hidden door.

    DO NOT ENTER.

    Apparently the entry is only a one way style without any treasure. So wanted to inform you of such.

    1. Actually if you press the button on the first rung it'll take you out. The transfer event has the wrong trigger which will be fixed in the patch.

  8. I'm stuck. I've returned to grove after visiting the mountaintop temple. There's stairs down. When I try to go down, I'm told that Isabella is down there, but I must speak to the Pink Haired one about her. When I go to speak to her, the only choices she gives are to leave the grove, sleep, or nothing.

  9. There's a handful of events that reset your progress in the beta. Every one that I've found has been fixed internally and will be addressed in the upcoming patch.

    Unfortunately it won't be able to retroactively fix saves that are corrupted without introducing tremendously high risk of causing future bugs.

  10. First off, thanks for all the work on this game!!!

    In the part where you are trying to rescue Terra and you are in the Tenta keep celebrating after the briefing you receive... The briefing room is still available and all the characters are still in the room... If you talk to the leader in the briefing room, the event resets and you are starting the party celebration once again...

    This is not a huge bug or even a major problem, but felt I should point it out...

    Toodles,
    kremey

  11. In the tower near the fortress (where you fight Isabella and the Chimera), in the second level second room, there is a wooden crate near the entrance that IIRC, used to be a chest. Now, nothing happens when you interact with it...
