So far, the story and it’s premise are good! I find a lot of it interesting. I just hope save slots could be implemented for easy use

Give thanks to the midnight oil! I’ve completed the update I’ve been working on, I hope it resonates, if not let me know! This is a work in progress and I’m very open to feedback. Like I mentioned, the main thing I wanted to do with this is firstly return from the dead 
, and secondly carry the story forward, I was becoming quite stuck on the best way to do that tbh, but I think I found a lovely approach. The new words of this update, fleshes out the world and greater purpose of where this story is going, contextualising your player character amidst a host of other characters, intentions and conflicts. The new words will meet you from Chapter 4 onwards. I’m veeeeery curious to see how it will be received…
Without spoiling anything, what you can expect is:
- Chapter 4 complete
- Chapter 5 complete
- An introduction to Chapter 6
- Cleaning up bugs and typos (though I’m likely to have missed some)
The link is all the way at the top of the thread, but here it is as well for convenience.

NOOOOOO!! I can’t get past this error at the beginning of chapter 2, also here’s a typo since i’m already here lol
that aside, i’m really happy this has risen, i remember playing it alllll the way back in 2019 and was so sad when it went quiet. i would honestly wait 100 years for updates if i had to though, just for you.

That error message also happened with me on chapter 2. I wanted to start from beginning instead of skipping ahead on the new stuff right away

Thank you soooo much, my heart is warm 
, but it won’t take 100years! I think I just patched that bug, so weird a relic from old code that I thought was cleaned up already. But it should work now! Also fixed that typo, thanks!

I think it should be fixed now!
Was your path You don’t mention the coin from Heleana to Tanathi at the store, then from there you’re blocked at Chapter2? There was weird hiccup on that path but just fixed now.

Hi, firstly good to hear you are back, secondly I love this wip, and thirdly after seeing the update I thought the bug in the bar had been fixed (the one where even if I choose my MC to have feelings for Aivah, the game continues as if I only chose to be friends with her) I don’t know if it was mentioned or not but it still persists, in short I had fun with the wip but that part still makes me a bit sad ^^"

Hi, love your game! I played it some years ago and loved it, and I am happy that you didn’t give it up, because I see very big potential in it! One question tho, will the demo have a save system? I would like to save on some points, so I don’t have to play it over and over again.

Hey! implementing a save system is top of my mind! I’ve been trying to use the CJW save slot thingie with dashingdon, but it’s keeps glitching for me…If anyone knows of a good save implementation they can recommend, please holler! But I’m seeing something about a Choicescript *checkpoint command? Looking into that rn

An option to change the screen from white to black would be nice. I don’t like really bright screens like that.

I think i remember somewhere that Dashingdon use older version of the choice script, the newer one is in COG demo, maybe it turn out error because you’re using new code or something? I remember seeing in other topic that the author do complain about dashingdon link.

I’ve been waiting for this update!!! All of a sudden when I try and open dashingdon, I get a privacy error. Anyone else having this problem or just me? I don’t understand why…

Thank you sooo much for pointing out COG Demo!!! I really don’t know why but implementing save on dashingdon just wasn’t working no matter what I tried (even did my own manual install of CJW’s plugin), which is weird because I see other games hosted there where it works perfectly. I’m not a very good coder though, so could be missing something, but the instructions given are soooo straightforward, I really don’t know what. But I’ve added the game to COG Demo so there’s a working save function now, thanks to you!!!

Sorry it’s taken so long, but here is a version of the game that has a save function!

EDIT It seems like you need to set up a COGDemo account to access the save function though, which isn’t ideal.
