BUG IN CHAPTER 6

To everyone, there’s been a bug discovered in Chapter 6! Please, don’t read further unless you want spoilers for A or R routes.

The bug will remain there while I gather a bit more feedback, as I have been informed that updating the files of the game may break people’s saves. I really don’t want that to happen, so I might wait for a while to give you all plenty of time to play and get through your playthroughs before doing it, and also to see if there is any other mistakes there.

I’m very sorry, I don’t know how I’ve missed it! And ‘and’ instead of an ‘or’ and everything breaks…

In A’s route, there are several options on how to save the satyr: you can offer to do it yourself, ask the Healer to do so together, or ask the Healer to do it regardless. The first option is bugged - I failed to notice the wrong connector between the skill-checks required, and made it an impossible check instead. I’m very sorry for this! However, if you want to save the satyr you can still save them by selecting any of the other two: you will then be thrown into a conversation with R, and if you manage to persuade them not to enter, you will have successfully saved the satyr’s life.

It’s still grammatically incorrect.

It’s true that in English, a country name that includes a word like “Kingdom” or “Republic” does customarily take the definite article, but there’s no reason that has to be the case, especially in a fantasy realm. And off the top of my head, I can’t think of any case of the article being used when talking about a city unless the article is part of the actual name, like The Hague.

Honestly I think this book is a light, fun read. It’s quirky and I’m enjoying it. My only, and I mean only small little issue I have and it’s literally just a personal preference to me is, I just wish there was a save system of some sort.

Personally the bird view points are interesting little cuts into the rest of the world, instead of plopping you straight into conversations that are nothing to do with you but you still need to know information while shifting you into a new area. Its quirky and I love it.

Anyways I’m looking forward to your next adventure!

THANK YOU

So,

We have now hit two weeks since the official launch of Scales of Justice: Book One. So far, it has received quite a bit of feedback from the community, both good and critical, and is currently still holding top of the page in Hosted Games. I am incredibly grateful for all your comments, ratings, and engagement with his game. You have made this journey magical, and I am beyond happy with its outcome.

I am, perhaps, one of the main critics of my own work. I began this game as my first ever project in English, still green as a writer, an amateur with nothing but a silly dream of telling stories. This game has been my debut in many ways; it pushed me to publish, it pushed me to practice and improve my skills, and it pushed me to engage with a fabulous community that has helped me direct my work so others could enjoy my tales through my writing. During the hard times of Covid, it brought me to finally start working towards my aspirations, and I cannot be more grateful for it. I am grateful for everything this game brought me as a writer.

Now, I am someone with more than 3 years of experience in multiple accounts of writing. I am a graduated historian, a graduated writer, and a programmer working on my last master’s degree in STEM. I have written and coded so many new things, tried new genres and styles, experimented with ideas. I have heard your feedback throughout this WIP, and I am listening to everything people have to say now that it’s published. I am planning to continue with my work - I am planning to make the next book better, taking into account all the knowledge you’ve all taught me throughout this journey.

I’ve been listening to everything that people have suggested as improvements and criticism, but I’m also curious what parts of the book people truly enjoyed and would like to see more. Forgive me if this sounds a little selfish, but I do wish to hear more from everyone, and of course, there’s nothing more pleasant for a writer than to see their story being loved (that is, of course, not to discourage anyone from critical feedback; it helps greatly with improving my faults). Please, continue sending your feedback. Tell me what parts have been the most compelling, alongside any other feedback you may have. I am still here to listen, still here to learn. The only way is up.

With all my love,

Julia xx

I liked this story, companions are nice, i like the world setting, i just hope there will be more meaningful and impactful choices in the future book/books.
That said i need help with two things 1. I cant select venis’s option during our fall into crevices.
2. In last chapter during the anchor scene i cant select the first option.
Can anyone tell me how do i go about unlocking these two options?
