Hi! Someone else just ran into this on Discord, so I’ll copy-paste my response here!

Hi, sorry, that’s a sort of half-bug that I noticed and just fixed on my end a few days ago, but I don’t think it will show up on your guys’ end until the next update! Basically you’re not supposed to be able to train your recruits until chapter 5 or so, so it erroneously shows up in the map once you become captain but you can’t actually access that content until chapter 5! My fix makes it so that it won’t show up until the proper time now! But the content is all ported and there, try clicking it once chapter 5 starts (or the chapter after that) and it should work! (It’ll also appear in the text list under the map when it’s truly accessible)! Hope that makes sense!

Ah okay, that makes sense, thanks for letting me know! I’ve fixed that on my end so it’ll be fixed in the next update–in the future it’d be very helpful if you could let me know what the error says or does if possible as well! 🙏 Thank you!

Hi there, I’m so sorry, that is a bug that I’ve fixed in the alpha build but not on the public demo! 🙏 Unfortunately, there’s no way to get out of it except to not click that choice–is there an autosave that you could go back to? Very sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi! Did you use the quickbuild? Because at a glance, I’m thinking that’s a quickbuild bug, but if not, just let me know! Thank you!

No, it isn’t! :’) The achievements use a specific function so that your browser will ‘remember’ them even when you start a different save file or new playthrough (since not all achievements can be achieved through a single playthrough), so maybe your browser isn’t registering that code. If you could drop a bug report through the official form with your browser and other details, that would help!

Thanks for this and how specific it is–I uploaded a fix using your suggestion recently, so there’s an autoname toggle now! Thanks again!

Hi there, thanks for your report! In the future, it’d greatly help if you could submit through the bug report form so I have all of them in one place–I can’t always address a bug when I see messages come in through Tumblr, and then it gets buried by more asks or I just forget haha–but that will be fixed whenever I update the build in the future!

Hi anon, thanks for this, it will be fixed in the next update, but for the future please note that I don’t usually accept bug reports through this inbox: in the future, please submit them through the official bug report form linked in the pinned post here and in the post with the alpha link on Patreon! Thanks!

It is not, unless you did something to really piss her off, like discouraging Blade from recruiting her in Chapter 4! If you didn’t do something like that, please submit the details through the bug report form!

Hi there, it’s there, I just forgot a single line of code that would allow you to access it! 🥹 That will be fixed in the next update!

Hi, thanks for catching these, but please submit things like this through the official bug report! This is not something I can keep track of in my inbox, especially when I answer the ask, and it’s hard for me to pinpoint the causes or replicate the behavior without more detail. Thanks!!

Hi there, thanks for asking this question, mostly because I didn’t realize this was something you could change! :D I thought it was just part of the core functionality of itch.io or Twine… turns out it was a CSS rule that I’d never noticed that was making this happen! Hopefully removing it doesn’t break anything (like hopefully it wasn’t there for some reason I’m either not aware of or am not remembering) but long story short, copy-paste should work in the next update! Thanks for your patience!

Hi anon, I’m sorry about the bug (I think you’re talking about Chapter 6)–I will be addressing these in batches at a time, starting later this month. In the meantime, I’d appreciate it if you could submit this through the official bug form, as I’d like to not accept bug reports through this askbox and want to keep all reports in official one place so I can track and monitor them! Thanks!

Hi anon, I’m sorry you’re experiencing lag, but I’m unfortunately unable to help you based on this! It helps to know what phone you’re playing on, what browser, what your internet connection is like… It could be something out of my control or not, I have no way of knowing without more information! But please submit your bug reports to the official form. It’s the only way I can keep track of bugs or potential bugs–the askbox here on Tumblr is not where I accept bug reports!

Hi there, thanks so much for your congratulations, it means the world!! As for your question, you may have seen this post about it already, but I don’t actually remember if I intended for people to be ‘reset’ magic and strength training like that. 😆 I’m actually pretty sure not, and that it was a bug, because here’s what I think happened: those options used *hide_reuse, meaning ChoiceScript would hide them if you’d used them during the scene already. However, at one point in the alpha build, I had to split companion interludes into their own separate files rather than all being in the 'day off’ file, so if you exited the file -> went to the companion files -> returned to the day off file, the *hide_reuse command would reset, and the magic/strength options would erroneously show up again! I just never knew that was happening, lol.

So no, that won’t be how it works in the alpha build, but I’m fairly certain that–when everything is working properly–training even only once in magic/strength is sufficient to do everything you’d want to do in the game, with some thoughtfulness in choices! I tested the stat balance over and over to make sure of that; there was just a bug that was preventing people’s stats from going up on the interactive map, but that’s fixed now! Thanks for your question, and cheers!
