Holy Crap, I had no idea about any of this (guess I should visit the Patreon (*boo* *hiss*) page once in a while... :)
I'm glad that everything is okay with you though- I can't even imagine the pain, worry, and sleepless nights that must have accompanied this whole ordeal. (Maybe you're getting a little too close to the "truth" and "someone" is trying to keep you from letting the rest of the world in on His secret.) Lol

My "prayers" are with you though (y'know what I mean and how we feel about such.) Also take a little bit of the Force as well, Lord Vader. :)
You have our thanks, @Safetydummy!!

Honestly, I let the game that we've been working on distract me from any notion or thoughts about impeding doom... what good would it do me anyhow... it's Life and no one gets out of Life ALIVE, not even Jesus Christ could! ;)

Truly, I was more concerned about the wife, who didn't have an easy time of it and had relatives pass away from Cancer, so she was really more upset than I was... so between our game, my regular jobs, shitloads of doctor's appointments, keeping her sane as best I could and [quietly] making sure my arrangements were taken care of in the event that the news was the opposite that I [thankfully] got on August 13th, I didn't have a whole lot of time to let it spin me too much into a dark place.

Some of my conflict and doubt, however, did make it into the game... like the scene in the MC's kitchen, but for the most part, I tried to remain positive and still do my jobs. ;)

Sorry, just wanted to take this opportunity to say, "OMG I Love River Song!*" Lol
As do I... oh, if only to hear her call me "Sweetie" just once.... oh!!! :D

WHY has no one done an H-game with Doctor Who? So many companions AND all the time and space you need to be "naughty"...
I think because those of us that are true fans, know enough not to mess with greatness... or a Time Lord!!! x'Dx'Dx'D

@ASLPro3D Thanks for answering my questions. I have no problems with your decision as my favorite game on this website uses RPGMaker (it is the last sovereign by sierra lee). That being said a lot of people think poorly of rpgmaker so I guess it might be a bit more difficult to market it.
Yes, I know they do and think that is because of the lack of effort that some creators put into it, or the overly annoying task of having to run and do everything, which won't be the case in our game.

As for the trouble of marketing it... heck, we've only been making barely $1,000 a month for the last year on our current game, so don't think we can do much worse than that... and, well, if we do, well... then I suppose we will either need to figure something out or focus on our actual jobs. LOL

Good luck with your project and I hope everything works out for you guys.
Thanks @Jad1239! We appreciate it! :)

Actually I'm on Mac, did everything that was told on here

still getting traceback error.
You should make it so we just need to download
the full game and the patch files, make things a bit more
"Simple"
Actually, if you looked at the front page, you'd see "Official, compressed, pre-patched version
0.5.2.0:
" posted there which IS the full game... so it is "Simple" if people took the time to look and read...

Also, let me also clarify one minor thing... I don't have to, need to or should do anything.
The fact that we provide our game for free to everyone is a courtesy not a prerequisite.
We owe NO ONE ANYTHING, except to those who support us on Patreon.
The reason that we do, is because we care about the people and community here... but it isn't our job or responsibility.
We've made the download processes as easy as possible for people, we've provided written and video tutorials on how to install it correctly... if people can't be bothered to take the time to read or watch them, it isn't my problem.

Hello o download the full game 3 giga byte do i need also another patch ?
Once you've downloaded the 3gb game, the only additional patch you need is the v0.5.2.1 patch, which is a quick download and easy to install by following the instructions found here: the password is aslpro3d

I have a question. I've never played the game at all. I wanted to give it a chance since I've heard good things about it. I've downloaded the mac version of 0.5.1.1 to 0.5.2.0 (MEGA) then I downloaded the Patch v0.5.2.0 to v0.5.2.1, since it said, "Small Update or Full Version v0.5.2.0 needs to be installed before installing this update." Can someone tell me how do I get the patch to work?

I keep getting a 'traceback.txt' message. I can copy and paste what it says if it will help.
You got it right. You need to have the FULL AND COMPLETE version installed first. You can't start from a patch only. You need to download the complete install first (Look at page 1 of this thread).

So, this update is only a patch for corrections, but no further than playing 5.2.0?
hope you'll get out the next update early september 'cause I really like to play this game....
And waiting for updates already take some time...
But, I stand with my opinion, this is really the best game around, beautyful graphics, great story line, and easy gameplay.
..... Still waiting for a real update ..... snif snif :'(

Done deal, and I even had to add a little bit more to it to emphasize the quality of the story, you have some very skilled and imaginative writers in your team, or A writer if it's just one, not a lot of VNs focus this much on story, most focus on character/relationship development and dynamics, but here the story is clearly in the main role with beautiful art pretty much to just back it up, top work here! :)
I can't but agree.

This is just Episode 1. Of at least 3 episodes planned. Take your time and read previous posts in thread.

I'm so lost...which one are you supposed to download lol? New to this thing but i dont get the compressed uncompressed thing. Can anyone help?
The compressed version uses images and audio compressed in various ways. It's just like having a raw image compressed into JPEG (or in this case for images, webp). You won't notice [Edited] any difference unless you are extremely picky [/Edited]. Also about the sound it's just like having a tune compressed into a MP3 from RAW, just more efficient. (And yes, I love FLAC).

The game experience is the same. But it takes some iron to do the compression and some time. Therefore the compressed version can take up to [days] several hours unless the person doing the compression have access to some big iron hardware.

"Simple"
But it's actually just as you asked X_x One full game download (3.8GB or the small versions 800mb or 290mb) + one single patch which removes critical bugs in the code. I mean even AAA games release a v1.0 and then add patches/updates to it if they make some changes after the games release, which need to be downloaded one after another to get the game up to the latest version X_x

This one is important in MAC cases:

Install Instructions for the Update/Patch files:

Mac users: Right click on the application, and then on show contents. This will reveal a folder in both the original and update files called "Contents". Then, while pressing option (the "alt" key), move the Contents folder from the update/patch to the original application. You should then get a dialog box asking whether you want to stop, replace or merge the folders. Choose merge and you'll be done.

So you extract the big full game file and then the small patch file, then you follow the above instructions which were written by a MAC user in here.

Bossapplesauce...Can you do this for MAC version please? If I understand what you did there...its all versions...newest patches applied etc..so I can just DL the game and play it without saving over files etc?
*sigh*

Requesting a non-mega link for the "Patch v0.5.2.0 to v0.5.2.1" For windows, thanks!
Ditto for MAC. I dont want to "sign up" for larger files if I can avoid it either. I know "lazy" #firstworldproblems.
But the patch is just 30.6 MB so it's not big or needs a registered account or anything X_x

Hello o download the full game 3 giga byte do i need also another patch ?
Only the 0.5.2.1 patch, the last link in the PC Spoiler.

hehe yeah only a patch this time, as we announced before releasing 0.5.2.0 we couldn't do a release this month since we were lagging behind with 0.5.2.0 itself :) So the next release with ne content will be v0.6.0.0 (Which will get a new "Full game download" for the big sized and small sized version

Right, but in my case it's about 10 minutes to crunch the big game into the small one ;) FLAC is nice but I'm not sure if all android versions would support it, as far as I know they don't all support it, maybe that was the reason I did it as mp3 or ogg? Can't quite remember :D
