FAQs

VNs? Maps? How?
I'd rather you don't do a Visual Novel (or at least do a hybrid with an actual map, if you must) but if you absolutely must do one, then one location.

I love the hand-drawn map!

Almost done with Strawberry Butterfly...husband's finishing up a couple more sprites.

Ugh, did some last-minute proofreading to make sure everything sufficed. Hence why I keep taking down and re-adding the ZIP file. Hoping y'all can get the games finished and submitted before it's too late.

About 24 hours left now, right?

Only three cutscenes left for me...

I love how almost every game that's come out so far has taken a more grave tone to the romance theme. The stream shall be legendary. Good job, team.

EDIT: Encountered my first standalone problem.

I kinda dig the more grave tones taken to their games, truth be told. Half the games being a bit darker and the other being more light-hearted works. I think my game fits the latter. Mostly.

How do I fix the problem of the Obsession game needing the RTP if I already have VX Ace installed on my computer via Steam?

I honestly don't believe it needs RTP does it give an error if you don't have it?
Man, now I'm nervous about how my writing turned out, especially the stuff I wrote last night on minimal sleep.

I just got done playing it and it seemed fine. The final boss was a total damage sponge, though. I just set the regen and berserk skills on and auto'd the whole thing.

Yes, it says that the RPG Maker VX Ace RTP is needed.
Holy crackers I submitted a game

Mother of eff. Y'know that old adage where the last 10% of making a game feels like the last 90%? I certainly know the feel. Some last-minute changes involve making it so one can actually get the bad ending and *ahem* editing out lines that could come off as Islamophobic. :v

This, with any hope, will be the final edit for the event. Thank goodness the event ends at 9 PM in my time. And congrats to those of you who made the final push in time.

Alright, I'm done. There's a weird bug where you have unlimited frigates if you click fast enough that I frankly have no idea how to fix, but other than that it's completely playable from start to finish.

EDIT: Bug's been fixed, and everything works, as far as I can tell. I also uploaded a longplay/walkthrough, in case anyone's interested in the story, but doesn't want to play a weird X-Com game, or just gets stuck.

Also it's never stated in the codex, but if you press the cancel key, it'll save your game.
@kourtnie your game is packaged for hosting on a website, not downloading.

It's repairable by copying in everything except the "www" folder from another MV game, but you might want to fix the download if you have time.

Have you fixed the part where if you don't buy the cake, you still give her the cake? I found that one.
And Fomy and I team up last minute to make a 5-10 minute game (if that)

Woot!

Oops! I'm so used to putting browser games on itch.io. Thanks for letting me know! I'm going to repackage it now...

Windows, Mac, and Linux versions...? I hope putting three zips up was all good.

...*facepalm* Good catch! :x

EDIT: Alrighty, I think we're good now. I used conditional branches more than I ever have in a game project for this one, so it seems I missed the one to check if the "Gift Cake" switch is on. Thank you for letting me know, Corf! :o
Huzzah, Team Zorga is Missing got out a smol thing. Katana got hammered by school and work so only 2 paths are doable in the gam, but otherwise its a bit of fun. Wonder how many people will think a section of one of the paths is a bug. Mweheh.
