Is there any way to play the older versions of this game? I just wanted to check them out to see the differences cause looking at older screenshots, the art and the UI were different, right?
There are not, since the number of versions i can make available for download are super limited by my google drive upload space
yes, the art used to be quite different. I photoshopped bgs and sprites by mushing tons of images together like a collage and animated them + cut parallax stuff just as the game has now. it was always my intention to replace it once i got an artist, but I was a solo dev for a good while.
Loving the game so far! Just wondering if you’re planning to release a guide or walkthrough at some point? I’d love to make sure I see all the routes and endings! :)
hmmm i think not just cause it would eat a lot of time i could spend making even more. i also think a guide / walkthrough might rob someone of later scenes i.e. sometimes only by missing content in a disc can you see certain scenes in future discs c: so i want everyone to have that unique run experience and not feel suboptimal. seeing every major scene is pretty feasible now with a lot of runs (i think you need at least 6 for everything in d0 + 1) but when we get into d2 etc, its going to be a bit of a headache for those trying. i want players to embrace their choices so i put a lot of work into alternate scenes (such as there being 3 different ways to meet piamat after the intro) to make sure nobody who puts time into exploring feels like they're missing out on stuff.
but I do really enjoy people sharing things they found, and i think without a guide we'll see more of it in the community c: it was very lively prior to stamps, so they're going to be removed soon for the same reasons.
I understand i played through the game twice, and they felt really different from each other. But the stamps are a nice hint for things I might have missed. But you do have a good point.
they were def intended for those like you to have a general idea of the amount of content in the game, but I had a ton of people join my server just to ask about getting all of them, and they didnt care about serects outside of them, and were really frustrated about how niche some were when the point was to make runs special and acknowledge niche choices. some were pretty nasty about it. its definitely unfortunate but I think the only way to overcome completionist mentality is to remove them so the only people who see secret scenes are those who search for the mere want to see them; and that way youll know the only people who've seen the ones you've found are others who made the same choices / had the same smart ideas and were rewarded for it. I thought about having a healthcode to turn them on for curious people, but decided not to. it took a lot of consideration before i pulled the plug for sure
sorry; it was only available for my bday! my artists and i are unpaid and working on this game full time, so i really want to be able to afford paying them.
Icon is in the files of the game in the same folder as the game file to which shortcut refers to. It’s a file with extension ICO you left press on the renpy shortcut icon and customize, or more options or something along these lines, depending on your OS. I think there were a couple of possible icons, so choose whichever you like best.
I just randomly found this yesterday, and paid a little extra after reading the full story of the dev team. This game is SEEPING with meaning, beautiful purpose, amazing art and atmosphere, RICH story, and best of all... A BANGING BREAKCORE SOUNDTRACK. I have not finished the game yet, but holy crap I went to bed last night thinking and wishing I just had more time in the day to play this. And now I have to go to work and wait until after work to play more and I'm like... :(
If I can candidly speak with the dev and everyone working on this project, this is definitely reaching people and helping them feel seen. And please, take care of yourself as best you can, chronic health shit sucks... And the system likes to fuck us over, but, hang in there as best you can and take a breather if you need to <3
Thank you for the extra support, it makes a big difference!! I pour my heart out into this game, so it's always really fulfilling to hear when someone's enjoyed it so much! :D
"this is definitely reaching people and helping them feel seen" - I'm so so so so glad. I really want the game to be a love letter to all those people and a message that they're not alone, even if we may be buried.
I struggled to help my own health for a long time, but now I do it for my girlfriend, and my fans; and it makes it all worth it. Every time I take my antibiotics or have a procedure I think of why I'm still here- everyone who's enjoyed my work. <3
Just finished Disc 1 - it made me cry, I LOVE THIS GAME PLEASE PLAY IT. it is BEAUTIFULLY written and you can feel the soul/emotion behind every single word and image. Please do yourself a favor and sit down with snacks and a drink and play the WHOLE thing, I am now obsessed and gnawing at the walls for new discs!! Thank you throwpup for making the best piece of media the modern day will ever see <3
aaaaaaa im glad to hear; that's incredibly sweet!!!! it always makes me super happy when someone says they got teary; it just means I got through with my writing. I'm working super hard to make the next disc even cooler, so i can't wait to hear your reaction! 💚
Just finished my second playthrough of disc 1. This game is truly something special, nothing I've ever played scratches the same kind of itch this does. I'm unbelievably excited for the future discs, the brainrot won't die easily :3
When I played D0 a few months ago, I spoke of the pure SOUL that radiated from this game and D1 only amplified this idea. The music and art and worldbuilding was all so mesmerizing, and there is such a strong cohesion of all three elements that really sells it, too. I played in pitch black as intended, so after I walked around as Tsurine (or. . . not?) for a few hours, by the time I got to the end I felt like I was more familiar with the atrium than my own home.
Leida and Jicca were particularly charming; the phone call with Leida before bed time in d0 got me good, and Jicca just is so bowowow -- she's an all-around legend and had me giving a standing ovation during the kabedon. Yuri!
The biggest plus of there being so much replayability because of the sheer quantity of stuff(ing) to explore is now I have an excuse to romance THEM BOTH on different saves, and I'll get to discover even more secrets each time. It's really awesome, and paying attention to detail was consistently rewarding. And you know I had to lock in for that medical logistics greatness!!!
Tsurine is fun to follow as well, I'm very curious about her next steps (and her past.) Amazing amazing amazing work, I am eagerly anticipating the future of this project. go throwup girl go
aaaaaa i'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!! this was a joy to read :D and its so great to hear specifics. i busted my butt working on this one and hearing this kinda stuff makes it all worth it! we've started working on the next disc already, and im super hyped for u to see it c:

It's gonna be out super soon!! we're working on the new inventory, and that's about all i've got left :>
and if you like danganronpa, you'll probably really enjoy the combat sections :D they're quite different, but scratch a similar itch. there wont be any in d1, but there will be several in the disc after!

If you can offer your game a little bit longer, some french people would be delighted...

Thx.
sorry; it was only available for my bday! my artists and i are unpaid and working on this game full time, so i really want to be able to afford paying them.
would be a 5/5, but your cursor changes on the store page making it 6/5
Also, Happy Birthday!
thank you!! :D
The defult icon was Ren'Py Icon, but it took me only like 2 min to change it manually, other than that it works great!!
weird. haven't heard of anyone else having that issue :< glad you could fix it though
hi, mine is the ren'py one too, how do I fix it? and where do i find the actual icon haha
Icon is in the files of the game in the same folder as the game file to which shortcut refers to. It’s a file with extension ICO you left press on the renpy shortcut icon and customize, or more options or something along these lines, depending on your OS.

happy birthday to throwpup!

🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm struggling to unpack your game on my windows I need help TT
The market release is supposed to work on windows, linux, and mac, but if youre having issues launching it, try using the most recent pc build (1.1.6 or 1.1.7 pc) c:
PLS DOES ANYONE RECOMMEND THE AME IS IT NICE
yus i recommend the game, getting it now also gets you the future 2 chapters! if you like cute girls and dense worlds get the game!!!!
Hi, would you consider translating into other languages such as Russian or Ukrainian?
If the game sells well, I'll look into translating a version for Russian, Japanese, and Chinese audiences c:
If anything, I'm ready to translate it into Russian for you.
Will there ever be an achievement guide for D1? Some of these are stumping me and as much as I wanna figure it all out myself some things just elude me.
no there won't be any achievement or stamp guide from the game. some things are intended to be missed or only viewed by a small percentage of players.
lmfao
