Yes 
Anyway, I meant I wanted to create ambiguity at the beginning of the game, given the story that is unfolding

That makes sense. Trouble is that I was too afraid to commit to a path because of it. Thatās more because these games donāt have saves though. Finding out you were on the evil path the whole time without knowing is a bit tricky if you have to start all the way over.

If you find out that youāre on the evil path, then either finish it, or step back when you realize how evil youāve been and try to make amends!

Mmmmmmā¦ you should be able [spoiler] to raise your dead familiar as a āzombie familiarā if you didnāt revive itā¦ (you didnāt manage to do this? Maybe there is a bug?).

Hi, sorry to bump this old thread, but I donāt know where else to ask and I think there could be a bug with the familiar. I was really enjoying the game, I managed to revive the familiar, and then later on reached an ending. I tried to repeat the chapter and the familiar wasnāt present at all. Determined to save little Daisy I restarted the game, made as many of the same choices as I remembered, and thenā¦ I have the familiar, but when I interact with the kappa the option to revive it wasnāt there. Iām not sure what Iām doing wrong, I tried a couple times alreadyā¦ Is there a set of conditions Iām not meeting or is there a bug? Could you tell me what needs to happen to make the option appear? Iām pretty sure I redid the same choices but it just doesnāt happenā¦ Only the burial does. Thanks for the game!!

Hi, no worries at all about re-opening the thread, and glad you liked the game! To be honest, it was a while since I last updated the game, so I was thinking of maybe also spending some time adding some bits and pieces to it, so it would also be a good chance to address any bugs.
Can you let me know a bit more? So, Daisy is your familiar, and she got killed. In one of your playthroughs you managed to revive her, but not in the other playthroughs. To be honest, the options available greatly depend on the path you take in the gameā¦ could you let me know a bit more? (I am guessing you are always going to Kamakura, correct?

Thank you for the answer!! For bugs, I think that one is confirmed: the first time I tried making a different choice after the ending, I chose to repeat the chapter, and it began with no trace of the familiar.
As for the last question, yes, thatās a constant. I also always refuse to fight the elementals, always learn the same spells (forget, fly, mirror imagesā¦ Tell me if Iām forgetting something)ā¦ I donāt know what else to list, what info do you need? My fear is that some apparently inconsequential dialogue choices with Arcanus made huge differences, like whether I asked all the questions or just went ahead with the plot sometimesā¦ I donāt remember all those instances.
Basically the first time the sequence was: Go to the hills ā Meet Kappa ā Make friends with him ā I ask him about a teacher and he answers ā He then says I can revive the familiar ā It happens. In subsequent playthroughs I ask him about a teacher and nothing happens. I donāt know, Iām confused on what it is that makes any difference. A doubt I had was, maybe I didnāt immediately help him the first time and asked him something before putting the water back on his head? I donāt know, Iāll try later maybe, now Iām burnt out from too many tries.

Oh, maybe I can see what the problem is. So, you played to the end of a given chapter, and then used the save system to return to the beginning of that chapter? (as opposed to starting the game over?). If so the problem may be with the save system that I implemented (this is not an official CoG system, but rather me copying all the various variablesā¦ it normally works well, but maybe that is indeed a bug).

@adrao I have vacation next week and I can also replay the game and see if I can get the same kind of issues as @torn has but not use the save system if you think that might help

If you can reply then that would be a great help! (also, let me know if you think of any small parts of the game that could be extendedā¦ I am thinking of maybe spending some time to add a bit to some part of the game, once I finish with my new upgrade to Raiders of Icepeak Mountains)

Thatās what I tried the first timeā¦ Then when I saw it didnāt work I started the game over multiple times, with the issues I described. If you tell me what you need to know to figure out the issue Iāll give you any info I can remember.
Oh yes thank you! The familiar was a furret, btw. Donāt know if it makes any difference but you never know. Also I learned the toy spell and bought her the toy

Thanks for the information. Iāll try to replay it with the furret and learn the spell and get the toy. Then Iāll try it with a different familiar to see if there was any difference.
Also what difficulty setting did you use?

I think it was the easiest, or easy at max, I mostly wanted the story. The toy was a necklace btw

Any news?
I solved the issue, eventually. Besides the save system glitching out the pet, the problem was that in subsequent runs, even restarting from scratch, I bowed to the kappa without talking to him first. Apparently this locked me out of talking to him, even though I did give the water backā¦ I retried on a whim to just talk to him first and that locked me out of bowing to him, which Iām sure I did the first time aroundā¦ But itās possible I misremembered. Anyway, I managed to bring her back to life, Iām continuing the game, and all is good.
As a side note, the whole reason I died for the first time was that I didnāt fly away with Yuki because I didnāt want to stop her casting the spell against the tsunami, since she felt it was her responsibility and I didnāt want to go against her wishesā¦ Had I known that in that choice I would have rescued her only when she collapsed and wasnāt able to do the spell anyway, I would have chosen it. The way it was worded, I interpreted that choice as āfly her away as sheāll try to do the spell even when itāll become too weak to stave off the waveāā¦ Anyway, thatās my feedback, love the rest of the game either way, so thanks again and good luck with your future works!
Apologies for not responding back, been sick for the past week and a half with COVID.
Hoping to resume playing the game to see if I I can replicate your issue

@adrao Is there a way to get a bigger house to live in for bigger pets? Also, what characters are there that can become your teacher other than Arcanus and Yuki? I kinda want to know which path is best for someone who want to focus on summoning and animals if I could since Iām new to this.
@adrao I just finished my first playthrough and was Tokyo Wizard supposed to have a sequel? Also, can you add a path in the base game or even in the future DLC where you have other options to learn magics that doesnāt require you being forced into by Arcanus?
So, today I submitted an update for Highway Wars, and in parallel during the last few days I have been working Hero or Villain: Armageddon. Butā¦ I think in parallel to that I would like to work on a DLC for Tokyo Wizard. For this, please feel free to make any suggestions on parts of the game that you feel could be improved (I will listen and try my best to accommodate as much as possible). But, specifically I want this DLC to add something in terms of length to the game. I have long talked about making a sequel to Tokyo Wizard, but realistically this may not happen so quickly (as I have many other projects in my mind), so maybe a DLC that just brings the game forward a little could be a nice compromise?
Soā¦ as usual, I have a poll! What aspect of the game do you think I should expand? (I also have possible names for the DLCā¦)
- Life as a Litch (expanding on the ending where you are turned into a litch)
- Kyoto Wizard (maybe you go to Kyoto, learn new spells over thereā¦ and fight a demon?)
- Ghosts of Kamakura (expand on the Kamakura part of the game, exploring ancient temples and mystical creatures)
- Eruption of Mount Fuji (it has erupted in the pastā¦ so who knows when it will be next time!)
- Other? (please let me know below!)

Wellā¦ it is a big update for HW, which means I can now work on other things, like Armageddon or TW. CoG doesnāt update immediately, but eventually HW should be updated, which will hopefully become a better game?
