@Nocturnal_Stillness - Not yet, I do prefer to find out on my own. I might if I get “desperate” enough! :)) :-"

Game Update Progress…

Fixed some grammar and typo issues that have slipped through, now am trying to work out why the game seems to skip sometimes (an issue I fixed before but seems to have returned) also got to work out why the local online save doesn’t seem to be retrieving the corrects stats, I’ve double checked and I can’t see where the issue is so I’m getting some more experienced with the save system to look it over.

@JTAL

the guide doesn’t spoil the scene just basically gives you what choices get you to the scenes, but I understand wanting to find things out yourself.

5383

@Nocturnal_Stillness - Exactly, it a 1-2-3 or A-B-C thing, and that kills the fun of getting there (for me, any way). [-(

Ain’t bug fixin’ fun? ~X(

I know what you mean.

Question for those who experience their stats lowering is it only when you die?

If you die your stats should change to what they were at the end of the previous episode. @Vendetta has checked the code and has seen no reason for it to go wrong and the only issue is dying during the finale in the current version returned you to the start of episode 6 instead of the finale.

I am still looking into it and hope to submit the first update to CoG the weekend.

I had just finish a case-stick and stones I think… Got to the next part where I choose my next case, Left the game(had to go do something) when I returned it skipped to me choosing wether I want to regain my azure powers or keep with shade powers…

Don’t let the bugs get to you, it’s still an amazing game

5387

When you die your stats gets a bit lower everytime you restart. Why do my former alpha always gets shot by the animators goons :(,

5388

I’ve died multiple times, and my humanity has gone from 60% to 15%. It was the final straw that made me just give up on the game.

5389

It’s been awhile since I played the game so I just wanted to clear up you can’t do Creepy Statues, SOS, and the werewolf mission where you can learn you’re a monster from Kota all in the same play thorough, right?

@DreamWalker

That is definately odd, I’ll look into that.

@Pepper

When you die your stats should only go to the point they were at the end of the previous episode (i.e if your physical was 40 at the end of Episode 2 and you died in Episode 3 with a Physical of 45 then you should return to the start of Episode 3 with your Physical at 40 - if it is lower than that then there is definitely an issue.

In regards to the Animators goons, you need mental >45 with the firearms trait or the shotgun to succeed at shooting them unless you use cloak then you can win easier.

@Scelous

Sorry to hear that, would you mind answering a few questions for me please?

Where are you dying is it in the finale? With Humanity going down from 60% to 15% do you mean you raised your shade powers or it has just gone down by itself each time you’ve died?

@olo17jr

yes that’s right its either “By Tooth and Claw”/“Creepy Statues” and “SOS” or “By Tooth and Claw” and “Creepy Statues”

@everyone

It is definitely looking like I’ll need to edit the checks either lowering them or making it possible to reach higher checks through your skills.

An idea I have had is that tying physical/mental/will to your powers i.e the check is something like this…

*if (physical + form) > 50

but I’ll need to see if that code is valid.

edit: the code above will work, so in the update if your physical/mental/will stats aren’t quite strong enough your form/focus/cloak will have an effect and raise your chances.

@everyone

A bit of good news, I think thanks to @Vendetta 's help we have located the reason why your stats took a big hit, and thankfully it should be fixed. I’m just altering the stat checks now in the finale and hopefully most of the bugs/issues will be gone.

5392

@Nocturnal_Stillness
Enjoying the game thus far, but as you’ve mentioned above some of the stat checks could do with lowering, I find I’m dying constantly - to the point where it’s often an annoyance.

Although, having said that, it could be related to the stat decrease (You die, then your stats are even lower, of course you’ll continue to die).

5393

@CJW

The issue we found is at the end of Episode 3 there is three “news stories” to choose from and only one of them ACTUALLY saved your stats at that point, so unless you were lucky enough to pick that one the game kept the end of episode 2 stats which would kick in if you died before the save point at the end of Episode 4 It should be fixed now (and alongside a more refined stat checks should make the game more fun)

@Everyone
Also as I mentioned before I feel bad for the all the bugs that have slipped through testing so will be adding an additional case to the game with the update.

Which I’ll work on over the next few days and as planned submit it to CoG this weekend.

5394

I’m not sure if it makes any difference but I’m on an iPhone

5395

@DreamWalker

last time this happened the game would get a blank screen with only a next button and clicking it would “skip” ahead, the temp fix was to open the stats and then go back to the game so it reloads it. If I remember right it was something to do with the game not loading quick enough.

5396

Oh I was on the screen to choose my next case, closed the app, and when I went back to it, it had loaded else where…

5397

I think I’d need to e-mail Jason sounds like an actual app issue rather than a code one.

5398

Is there anyway to have form high enough to break up the Jack versus the lycanthrope fight without killing either, but still have enough humanity to tell everyone you’re an unnatural and not die? I remember being able to do so when I could get up to 105 in humanity early on before the game was released. I think that mission is the only way to tell everyone you’re an unnatural, but I can’t seem to do that and save the lycanthrope and victims like before.

5399

@Nocturnal I can answer your question about Scelous’ problem because it happened to me too. It happens at the attack on the SRT HQ. if you die there it sends you all the way back to the letter from your father. And it seems your stats never reset so you slowly lose humanity.

5400

@olo17jr

No you can no longer do both your humanity can’t go above 100.

@Merrit

Thanks. I have fixed the finale save point so when it gets updated it should fix that error.
