itch.io

Hello, currently your first main character (the one in the desert) is the youngest, and the one in the city is the eldest. Hope this helps :)

I think later in chapter two it does specify this, however, I can add another mention in chapter one at some point as well if that would clarify things.

Hello, at the moment they need some tweaking to get the proper and desired effect and they aren't exactly clear so for that I do apologise. I'll be working on it in the next little bit while I iron out other aspects of the UI

Currently they start in the middle at exactly 50%, signifying that your character is neither one nor the other. For the sake of the variables, technically you are raising or lowering a singular personality trait, but you can read it as the emotion that the meter is tipped towards being the one your character most exhibits. For example naive/worldly: if you're under 50% you will be considered more naive, however, if you're over 50% you will be considered worldly. There aren't currently any scenes for exactly 50% so either way the game will read one way or another depending on the scene--though this is subject to change once more pressing matters are tended to.

I hope this makes sense -- if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask :)

They should be but they're also in need of a rehaul because they're a bit unclear.  For now your best bet is to keep the meters off to get a better idea of where your stats sit while I properly figure out I'm going to fix that.

Okay so! What you've just seen is a mistake on my part but you should still have access to the full content on itch.io.

The newest content is the chapter you would have read to get to that point. Currently it is labelled Chapter Three but it essentially comprises what was originally written in the choicescript version of the game (chapters 1 through 4) hence the confusion regarding chapter titles.

(That, and in my files it is straight up labelled chapter four so rip)

Unless I've completely gone and fudged it, you should still have access to the new content plus a page I used to list out characters that I forgot to delete afterwards.

Hope this makes sense!

Right, found the problem.

This should be fixed now, but it will not reflect in the current build until the next update. Thanks for letting me know!

Hi, thanks for letting me know. Any changes made currently will be updated when the next chapter is released

1) Was as intended, however, I've made the passage more clear and rather than looped it back to the original passage just added the choices so it doesn't repeat content.

2) I... actually cannot replicate this bug. Would you be able to tell me anything about the scene you were in so I can try to pin it down?

Alright, so!

I actually had another look and found a syntax error in the code of this particular page. This should now be fixed and updated though you may need to either save and reload or reload an earlier save after refreshing the itch.io page.

Please let me know if you have any further problems!

Ah, this is one of the bugs that I specifically couldn't replicate for some reason. If you can recall, what choice had you chosen prior to this screen and was this taking place in or outside the city?

Thanks for letting me know, I'll try and get to the bottom of it.

Hi there, hoping to get started on more updates soon. I've had a bit of a hiatus up until this point but I just updated my first game yesterday and I'm hoping to continue this at some point too. Glad you're enjoying it so far :)

Hi there, thanks for letting me know. This will be fixed in the next update :)

Hi, I'm glad you like my story! Arke most definitely will have plenty more screen time for you to enjoy! Or not enjoy, as the case may be ;p

Hi! That is correct. The first character in the prologue is not the same character as you play in chapter 1. That character is the brother you chose, whereas in chapter 2  you will start playing as the sister. Each chapter will switch between each character.

Hope this helps. :)

Absolutely no problem there. As it is a newer game I haven't yet gone through and edited much, if any, UI so at the moment it's all mostly at the default settings. I'll try and get that changed to something a bit easier on the eyes before or by the next story update. Thanks for letting me know. :)

Hi there, I'm glad you like it so far!

If you're working off Firefox unfortunately something about the program at the moment doesn't seem to gel well with the saves. What usually works is saving your game manually which is done by clicking "save" -> "Save to disk" ->  the file will usually go into your downloads folder but feel free to move it into its own folder -> then clicking "load from disk" and selecting it in your files to load the game back in. I'm trying to get everything working again but so far this is the only method that seems to work for firefox right now.

If this doesn't work for you, or you're using another browser please tell me so I can look into trying to get that fixed too.

Hi there! Yes all updates will be on itch and my blog now because I'm no longer making the game with choice script.  For various reasons I've elected to continue and rewrite it in twine. I'm glad you've found it again.

Hope this helps. :)

Yes I definitely do! Because I'm working on two games I'm switching between which ones I'm working on chapter by chapter. I'm currently working on a quick update for this one for the first chapter before I go into the second but the first update should be out soon! I'm glad you enjoy it!

Ah, okay thank you. That issue has been fixed in the upcoming version so once I update that shouldn't be an issue even if you can get past it. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi there! This game is definitely not abandoned, there's an update incoming that may or may not fix the issues, however, if you can could you tell me where these errors pop up so I can help fix them for the next update?
