@AndreasBlack

First, thank you for your message!

Second, damn it! I just wanted people to have fun, not being frustrated all the time!  (wrong)

Well I guess it's an experience to learn from a first release. But Im' very sorry you had this one bug!  :-[

Because, how did you manage to do that?!

I spent the last 15 minutes trying to crash the game in various ways with the ladder thing and it always works perfectly.
I have no idea on how this went wrong for you. ???
But it obviously did...

So I took your advice to make those kind of rare moments even more impossible, thx!

The newly patched version is now online and you can play the game as it's supposed to be. (nod)

Quote from: AndreasBlack on Mon 13/11/2023 00:05:06I haven't finished yet, i noticed now you've done some bug fix updates, i'm not sure i had the latest cause i managed to bug it out. I took up three or four medkits and keys/phone duplicates  :-D Also i managed to put back the wires cause i thought i had to do that to get the door to open again, then i couldn't take them back  8-0 But apart from those bugs it's funny to play. I will finish it someday, hopefully. I went to by some hans unt hans nuddles and then... (laugh) Will have to try again tommorrow!

Haha  (laugh)
Well no worries all those bugs are also fixed now  ;)

(laugh) So where're you at at this point?


@RootBound
Thank you for playing and thank you for your precious feedback!
And I'm really happy you enjoyed the game. :)

About the "elevator bug" (a minor bug that doesn't change anything about the gameplay) :
Spoiler
That's one minor bug I couldn't fix and forgot to mention in the technical forums (I will do that ASAP- I forgot because of the rocky release-)
Thing is that in that particular room, for some reason, when you use "WalkTo" at that place, the player walks out of the walkable area!
Yep. So, I don't know how it's even possible but there it is.

About the "Overall good game"
Spoiler
Wich is about the ending but didn't want to spoil.
At my beginner level I had no choice at this point of AGS learning + releasing a game experience + the importance of beta testing..
I had to "learn and move on." because I wanted to test and add new stuff, still adventure, puzzles, the story the characters etc.
But with new stuff to see how it can be done in AGS.
So yeah, that was a real question for me. But I think I had to split this in two parts because some room scripts became very epic (you know, based on the bugs) so it's not "calculated" to make you want to play the next one, but I felt I had to finish this one this way...  :P

About the battle system:
Spoiler
I understand the quibble is visual and I knew this one was coming. And I agree.
Thing is, I had to buy a new PC, made two massive backups. But somehow the characters' files didn't make it. The folders did. Not he files. In both backups. And of all of the files, just and only the character files went missing. Go figure.
As I was getting at the end of the game, I would've had to recreate the characters from scratch and redo all animations etc.
Because at the same time I had discovered a better way to create them thus.... "learn and move on".

All of that made me split the whole thing in two parts.  :P

I get the picture ....
EDIT: My problem was the high game speed I had adjusted :-))

Haha!  (laugh)  Well i'm glad you got through it  :P

Quote from: Ian Aloser on Thu 09/11/2023 19:45:53I solved the previous hacks by trial and error :-)
But this one leaves me helpless....

Spoiler

OK so:

You're trying to hack a security system.
The system will defend and counterattack.

On the left :
The red part is the system (moving down) coming at you to stop you.
The green part is you (moving up) to hack it.

On the right:
- Four random signs appear on the top
- You have to click on the similar signs below to make them disappear, move up, and have a new set of signs
- Whenever you click on a wrong sign, you'll move back down
- The hand icon, when you can click on it (when "ON"), will make the system go back one move (up) and save you time.

HINT: Whatever you're trying to click, when the hand icon turns on, click on it first. ;)

Spoiler
Hacking the door code at Alex's house, I just don't get the logic behind it
[close]

Spoiler
That's a strange question for me, because:

- If you're trying to hack Alex's door it means
- You got rid of the Secubot which means
- You got rid of it thanks to the mine which means
- You hacked the door that led to the room where you can find the mine.

It's the same minigame for both doors, but with a different difficulty.

I just want to be sure we're talking about the same thing here?

And everything car animations I created with Blender  :)

Hey @Ian Aloser, you're not bothering me, on the contrary.
You're feedback is very important to me and makes my game better.
So thank you for that.
It is I who am sorry for the inconvinience  :-[

About the save games, yeah, that's how big I did draw the panel; I didn't think that one would use that many saves.  :)
Best I could do right now is arrange the things a little, which should give you places for three or so more saves.

Fixed the bugs, latest version now online:

Spoiler
Damnit, fix one bug and two appear!  :-\

Well those have been fixed now.
- If you arrive for the second time at the house and don't have the mine, you can now take the car back to look for it.
- Fixed the "interact" problem with the bot.
- If you put the wrong code for the save and exit and then come back, the safe will work now.

And I'm very happy you like my game, it's a great feeling, thanks for sharing that.(nod)

Hey @Ian Aloser, thank you for the feedback. I'm really happy you had a good time playing the game!  (nod)

Spoiler
I already fixed the safe, but now I have to go check that box! Yeah, nothing breaking the game, thx for that (laugh)

For the wires, it depends where you are in the game.
Are you at the first investigation at the house, looking for Alexander who's missing?
If so, take the elevator (where you found the box) and then interact with the panel to find the wires.

If you are further in the game (and the panel is already open from earlier), let me know; I don't want to spoil if you're at the beginning :)

Alright all the bugs have been fixed & files are uploaded!

Thanks guys again for the feedback, much appreciated
(nod)

Cheers!

Hey @RootBound Thank you for playing my game, I'm happy you're enjoying it so far. :)

Too late today here to get into that bug report but thank you very much !! (Also, why would someone do what you did?! (laugh))

But I can give you that hint :

Spoiler
If, in the house, you go to the room that's down left (with the wardrobe), next to the wardrobe, on the ground (when hovering with your mouse), you will find some scratches on the ground that you will have to "Look At".

@MIGGO

Hey MIGGO, thank you for playing my game. :)

Also thanks a lot for your feedback, I understand that you just didn't get to that important moment because you made a run for it, at the house.  (laugh)
I'm sorry for that and I uploaded the new version with both bugs fixed.

BUG Feedback:


BUG 1:

Spoiler
This one is a weird and tricky one. That's a bug I had back then when working on it. And then I fixed it. Because I tested that alley behind the hospital a lot, just because of that. So, the bug that you have shouldn't happen.
I downloaded the game as if I was a player, you know, and again and again I tested it but never had this bug again.
Makes me wonder if there's some other data saved when you save the game.  ???
So while I can't really test it, I disabled that "region" where one would be that would cause that problem. Technically a blind bug fix  :P 
[close]

BUG 2:

Spoiler
I didn't think of someone who would go for the front door with the HACKit tool as active inventory, so now it's not possible any more. (laugh)
You now have to get rid of the SecuBot before you can hack the door. This will trigger the variables that will allow you to continue the game as intended, and let you get to "that moment"  :)

I'll definitely download and try it out sometime soon! Don't forget to add it to the AGS database as well!

Hey thanks @RootBound, it is something indeed !  (nod)

I tried to add my game to the AGS database but for some reason it doesn't seem to work, I started a post about it HERE

Quote from: AndreasBlack on Thu 02/11/2023 14:40:16Fantastic! I'm gonna try it as soon as possible! Great job, now work on my game so i can finish it, kidding  :-D

Hello, I filled in all the info to add my game to AGS, and when I click on the "Add Game" button, something seems to load and then I have an empty page.
I tried it twice... and I don't know if it worked or not?

Any ideas?
Thx!
