Thank you for you support !
I really hope i will deliver all of that to cure your depression then ! :p

Thanks for your feedback.
Indeed, the alignment is still being worked on and not gonna lie, it's quite a difficult one but I do fix it bit by bit :)

For your suggestion I highly recommend to post it in the suggestion channel in the discord so I get to see it easily :)

Thanks for your time !

Thank you very much !
I hope to deliver !

Hello ! As told in the devlog, this patch work on the whole Curse mechanic and how to fight it. There is still 3 different forms for the fox.  More animals are planned for next update.

This is indeed a game executable, not a RPGM project.
No RPG Maker needed to launch it.

Hello ! Sorry, I unfortunately have no experience with Proton at all... but if you can give me details, I will try to see if I can help.

The game doesn't really use the default RTP but custom assets as well as custom scripts. Those are setup properly as far as I know but if it required an additional setting for Proton, do tell. But.. if the game must only use default RTP to run on Proton, then, yeah, that's a problem here...

However, uou said it's not even launching though. Usually a ressource problem will still launch the game while displaying an error on screen or just waiting for the ressource in a black screen. So, it might be something else ?

That doesn't sound like something I've seen before :o
Sounds like a bad timing or something but hard to tell after one year haha
Thanks for the answer nonetheless !

Thank you !
I do realize it's maybe not quite clear in the game description as I only state "In this version : Crush materials into powders and mix 2 of them into the cauldron to create potions which will help you [...] slow down the curse."I may need to be a bit more clear :)

Hello ! As for now, you can only make it slow down. I guessed you meant to remove the curse entirely when you said "beating it".

Beating it isn't planned for the prototype (at least for now,w ill see if i change my mind).

Beating it would require multiple days, as the roadmap suggests.

For the ingredients which are unusable right now, they will be in the next update. However it will only expand the current curse with new options and paths to take, but the final result might be similar to current one.

Hello! Yes it is still in development but I have less time to work on it than previously so it's way slower
Sorry about that !
If you're curious though, there is a special version which was released with ShifterCon2024 which adds some little clues here and there about future features.
See the download page for this !

Glad to hear :)

Currently the only way to speed up the curse is to get caught by the pink mist roaming the map.

There is plan to make potion affecting time in the near future.

For the secret, there is a total of 4, one for each curse you encounter, and reaching an ending.
You can tell them to the bat... if you didn't annoyed them of course :)
This can be used to check if you got the same curse as previous run, to avoid you losing time if you're going for a different one.

You are right !
This is an oversight when I changed the recipe :)
Thanks ! Will fix that soon.

I was able to trigger it even without gathering or reading a note, so there is something else. Still not sure why but I will try to force the reset for endings in the meantime.

Thank you for the bug report :
1. Hopefully, this is fixed alongside the changes around the cauldron in the next hotfix.
2. This is.. a weird one... Gathering shouldn't impact windows position. Will check that, thank you !

X or Escape should do the trick.
If not, that might be a bug and would like to now how you managed it ! :D

Noted !
And thank you :)

Hi !
It's a pixel art I made of my eevee sona.
You can see it with evolutions here

Hello !
May I ask for more details so I can check that ?
Which exact animation are you refering to ?
The eye ? The screen getting glitchy ? Other ?

Of course it's not game breaking, but as you said, might alter the perception of the story, haha !

Thank you very much !
However, I have to give credit where it's due.
Artworks/UI and characters and their animation are of my own, but most of Tilesets are from Seliel the Shaper where I put my own twist on it by adding my own work.

Next patch will include credits about all assets used in the game to be more clear on that side as I wasn't able to do it before the gamejam timer runned out there ! :)

Thank you !
A bit more maps is coming next patch.
However, i want it to stay soft for the prototype.
More maps is planned for the Alpha.

I see, I didn't missed it then, haha !
And even if it's an old one, it still checks out ! :)
Especially since I also don't plan to have a whole village (yet), and need the ruins part, haha.

Thank you for your time and work.

Ha, thank you for the details.
I was going to say I was sad the Winter sale just ended before that (I already purchased some there) but good to hear it's still going !
However, I don't know if it wasn't there before or it's because ot the new package, but it seems Iconic Homestead isn't there while the others packs are.
May I have the confirmation if that's normal or not ?
To be sure I don't miss the opportunity if it was planned to be on sales too.

Thank you !

Thanks for the answer, but also sorry, I have no idea how GameDev Market work, so I am not sure how to understand all of that.
I'm guessing you mean the files there are and/or won't be updated ?
If so, is the best way to get those is to buy it again here ion itch.io or am I unware on how the whole ecosystem works ?

Thanks for your time !

Hello !
I remember I got those two within a bundle (on humble bundle if i remember correctly).
How does that work in that case ?
Do I need to buy it again here to get the updates ?

Hello !
To use the grimoire, click on the tabs on the bottom left. Then you can turn the pages by clicking on the little corners at the edge of the pages.

There is currently only 3 maps for the prototype : Starting area, Forest area and Laboratory.
Basically, if you've seen the laboratory, you've seen all the map in this demo for now.

Hello !
These two points you quoted still can be modified and I will try to make it more fluid. (For example, the mortar, before, what quitting after each success)
Automation is a thing I thought about, but for now, I have yet to find how to integrate it in the logic.

However, if it touches menuing, this will be more difficult though as it's more linked to loading parts.

This is actually the first time I heard this word :o
Do you mean you're abusing the save system ? haha :p

There is no actual "cure" for now only slow down.
But there is some difference in text depending if the curse affected you more or less.

There is 3 endings for now as stated in the FAQ :)

And thank you !

That's.. something.
I will look into that.
I noticed the problem but didn't realized it actually make it possible to select materials you don't have.
Thanks for reporting.

Discord link seems fine on my hand.
What's wrong with it ? :o

1. Is it in the cauldron only ? The vertical mouse hitbox might be a bit too large. (Not a bug, but needs more work)

And thanks for the advice :)

Hello !
I am not sure which one you refer to by "B" there, but I'm gonna guess you still get the potion who slow down curse.
So you have everything to get ending one. You just need to "get out" now :)

Thank you very much !
It means a lot and will be sure to put it to good use !

Discord server is indeed something I planned for the release of the Alpha but might be done before if the community ask for it.

The player character has no gender as I wanted everyone being able to identify to it.
Character customization "might" happen, but it's clearly not a priority right now.

It is planned but require way more work than 2 legged ones for now. As it require a whole new set of animations for the visuals, and I don't talk about the potential consequences in gameplay of not being able to reach the top of the chauldron :D

In short, expect it, but quite later on.

Good job and thank you ! :D

There is currently 3 ending.
One is easy to have as it happens at the end of the day.
Other twos will require some potion work.

I will try to make that more clear :)

For now, you need to stir each item added in the chauldron, so the bar reset is needed. And you need 2 items to mix to expect a potion.

Hope that helps a bit !

Thank you !

I heard multiple times about the Amber one and will try to find the cause !

May I ask where you were able to go out of the playing area ? :)
