0.9.0

DOWNLOAD!

🎇This is a major milestone release!🎇

Hopefully achieving stability and fixing numerous bugs, the game should also be capable of handling the numerous new features and additional challenges imposed, such as shoe start, can't always act, and NPCs move around more! It really livens up the game and adds variety after your first campaign play-through.

The changes since last release are:

Additions:

• Add the KFO logo and website link
• Allow you to unset the placed trap
• Enemy loses sanity from failed attempts to flee and from using the Wait action
• Add a last-man-standing Pacifist ending variation (no attributed kills)
• Add a "silent" add_sanity setting, which adds/removes sanity without playing the sound
• Affect sanity in a few more campaign situations
• Let you tie up Ai in the Bath House if you have rope during the locker shootout scene
• Make Yuki and Nanako aware of each other's deaths, even if they don't find the body (after all they have the computer pads)

Fixes:

• Fix trapping someone causing only Yuki to move around, and not the trapped person
• Fix telling Takeshi about the boat causing the event as if you lied to fire off instead
• Fix AI never leaving the rooms they're inside of if they ever enter them
• Fix game bugging out if Jun or Mari don't have any item in the item slot when the game checks if they have medicine on them

0.8.9

This release fixes a critical saving bug if you opened the Items menu at any point in your run!

• Fix using the items interface at any point causing your game to shift into a "pocket dimension", bricking your save file and preventing you from saving for that run.
  SO YAH A FEW LINES OF CODE BRICKED EVERYONE'S SAVES IF THEY EVER OPENED THE ITEMS MENU. IT IS NOW FIXED.

Additions:

• Enable rollback again, however block rollback on character deaths to prevent associated bugs
• Fix using the items interface at any point causing your game to shift into a "pocket dimension", bricking your save file and preventing you from saving for that run.
  SO YAH THESE FEW LINES OF CODE BRICKED EVERYONE'S SAVES IF THEY EVER OPENED THE ITEMS MENU. I forgot why I even put it there but if you couldn't save your game after a certain point, this is why :(

Fixes:

• Fix using the items interface at any point causing your game to shift into a "pocket dimension", bricking your save file and preventing you from saving for that run.
• Add a few "break"s in inventory for loops so we don't continue parsing through a modified list (very dangerous to do so)
• Fix Jun mentioned when he's not present
• Fix your followers not reacting to you killing the trapped person
• Fix "allowed_to_act" logic being inconsistent
• Fix "Battling" not being set to "False" on non-lethal combat end (fleeing, etc.)

WARNING: This release is not compatible with your previous save data!

The default save directory was changed from deathgame-1313682820 to WinTheGame_saves in your %AppData%/RenPy folder. Transferring the saves over may cause corruption so do so at your own risk!

Additions:

• Add some more missing cutscene flags
• Fix a typo where Kenji attacks you causes the game to error
• disable default renpy auto save due to potential save corruption from it
• Add quick save/quick load buttons to the main menu

Fixes:

0.8.7

DOWNLOAD!

Additions:

• Fix version number not being up to date (0.8.6 incorrectly appears as 0.8.5 currently)
• add +5 to all bars so having 1 hp still shows a sliver of the bar to give you more useful info
• Add a death's door mechanic - if your health reaches 0, the game gives you an opportunity to heal yourself.
• Additionally, add a Prefs option "always act". When off, it stops you from using items, healing, etc. in battles or when your health is 0 (effectively disabling the Death's Door mechanic)
• Make sanity affect the chance of your followers helping you in battle
• Reduce sanity slightly for every successful party member assist
• Stop skipping during battle during major events so you don't miss critical info
• Fix Shoot Back at Yoriko option breaking the game if you use a low tier weapon (like a slingshot)

Fixes:

• fix bayonet breaking the game when it runs out of ammo
• Fix the game saying Kenji is using knives, even though he could be using a revolver instead
• Fix running away putting you across the bridge even if it's locked
• If you successfully run away but all the locations are invalid, you'll just be put back in your area

0.8.6

DOWNLOAD!

Additions:

• Add an ability for kill() command to also drop the victim's loot on the ground
• Make Tetsuo a "fixed" type so he just chills out in the forest
• Add a new attribute to locs - "forest", which allows the player to chop wood if they have an axe. Chopping wood takes 3 hours.
• Mari will talk you out of suicide and restore a bit of your sanity. However, her own sanity will plummet. Jun will also improve your sanity in the same sequence, slightly. Mari will still jump with you if her sanity is 50 or less.
• Your party members will lose sanity if battle they're part of ends with a death
• Make Yoriko "shoot back" option always available and only check if you have a weapon to do so with once you click on it (this allows you to equip/unequip items to adjust for the choice)
• Make most campaign event kills actually leave loot behind rather than permanently destroying it
• If you run from Kenji, you should still be able to execute the "Find Mari" sequence. Additionally, Kenji dialog before attacking you will be different if Mari is with you.
• In Asai and Tetsuo sequence, give you the ability to actually threaten Asai to return the axe. If your wielded weapon is stronger than his, he'll give it up, letting you return it to Tetsuo. That way, you have a non-lethal resolution to the conflict without being forced to flee.
• let both Jun and Mari respond to you attacking Ikoma
• Nerf NPC idle sanity recovery slightly
• Add ability to drop items from your inventory, when you can also pick them up from the area
• omg don't heckin block rollback right when you enter a forbidden zone with low sanity lol it's mega mean
• But also -- rollback is now disabled unless you're a developer. :^)
• Recover sanity for your allies when you sleep, as well as improving your own sanity recovery with a bigger party.
• Allow trading an item for nothing and unify the trading interface between Mari and Jun
• Make it clearer which grid tile you're rowing your boat towards (left = D5, right = E5)
• Add a bit more effects to getting shot down by gatlings
• "An arrow suddenly pierces you" dialog wasn't accompanied by actually hurting you. Now it is.
• Make c4 and d4 have a security camera when you first enter the area to give at least some telegraphing where you're NOT supposed to put the boat
• Add a battle property "allies_will_help" which should allow an easy way to identify friend-or-foe
• Set allies to help you in battles where you're attacked or are otherwise justified in defending yourself. Your allies will now fight on your side to defend the boat
• If you tell the truth that you found the boat to Takeshi but it is no longer in the shed, the "liar" sequence will commence instead as it works in this context too. (this accounts for repairing the boat and hiding it somewhere else)
• Add ability to set jumps if you flee or your enemy flees (code)
• Expand on Asai/Tetsuo scenes to properly account for the ability to flee.
• Unlock the scene of finding Tetsuo murdered if you have met him but you leave him behind somehow (fleeing?)

Fixes:

• For grid/room movement only call "say_people_here" label once, right before showing the menus, so it doesn't interfere with events
• Fix moving to a new area giving you a brief window to interact with items, see bodies, etc. before you're supposed to
• wait here/follow me options no longer rely on hard-coded flags, but instead the "in party"/"in follower" checks
• Fix Mari saying "You came back." even though you JUST told her to wait
• Replace "x_hates_you" flags with simple "in enemies" check
• party_add no longer auto-adds them to your followers (like in Kenji's case)

• Fix being able to trade your boat to your party members
• fix label shed_boat_move forcibly moving you if you have both Mari and Jun in your location, actually resulting in a net loss of time than if you were just with one of them alone
• Fix boat sequence not being marked as cutscene properly
• Fix a few missing cutscene() calls
• Fix bad identation
• Remove unused flags
• Fix some $ not following syntax and compiler yelling at me
