Yes it's fine, I occasionally do some advertising

Must be working, jack_norton, because I just found Heileen over at game.giveawayoftheday.com today (August 2, 2009,) and if anyone hasn't already tried it yet, now would be the best time to get it! At the time of this typing, it has a 54% favorite status and 32 comments (most of them favorable, though that netbook limitation raises its ugly head again....)

Thanks aplenty for giving yet more exposure (no, not *that* kind) for visual novels all the same!

Well that version is a bit old, the actual one on sale works on notebooks

Sorry for necroing this thread, but I think I may have found a glitch/bug in the version just released. Some places where people are speaking don't show a sprite where you'd think they'd be. For example:

Or:

I'm playing it right now and the cat/Black is speaking, but there's no sprite of the cat on-screen.

Also, towards the beginning, when Marie shows up for the first time, her sprite sort of 'flashes' on screen for a minute, but you don't see her when she's supposed to be speaking. Or to put it another way, it's like her sprite appears when it feels like it.

Edit:
Something I just realized: the relationship meter on mine isn't increasing. I mean, it says it has, but the green bar doesn't actually show, like this:

It's like Marie's an invisible ninja.

Actually, I figured it went into typo categories and not glitching, but sometimes people say things and their names don't show up. I can find examples if you want.

Also, since there's forty points total I figure that there should be eight quests right? So far I've only managed to find:

Make Otto Embarrassed
The clear-eyed beauty
My Sweety
Stowaway aboard
The mysterious word
Goodbye Marie
Slave merchant

I don't know which one I'm missing so any help would be appreciated.

I attached one of the typos I mentioned (there are grammatical ones too that I noted if anyone's interested) because it was the first one I noticed. There aren't that many, maybe four or five?

[jack_norton]

Hmm the first two (and the missing relationship bar) are Ren'Py bugs I see the images correctly, and I used 6.13.1 (the last version before the 6.13.2). What video card do you have, and you're playing in OpenGL or DirectX?
(you can hold the shift button when the game starts and choose a different renderer)
Will point pytom to this thread since this interests him too (thought there were no more problems with Ren'Py and videocards!).

About the quests, you're indeed missing only one:

Marie's Illusion

and you get it by picking the option:

"I'm sure John loves me, anyway."
when you first met Marie after they come visit you knocking on your cabin's door, and you solve it by going out looking for Marie after the arm-wrestling contest starts.

I've noticed the same problems as Mink pointed out. So far I've counted 2 Marie sprite "flashes" and 1 for Otto. And yeah, sometimes sprites just don't appear. For the scene where

Marie almost falls overboard

there are no sprites at all and I think about 4 or 5 people are in that scene.

I don't know the specifics of my video card so I'll be back later with that info.

[jack_norton]

Thanks. Good thing I tried with an old game then! Pls post the videocard specs and any other info that pytom might ask you (I pointed him to this thread so he can investigate the problems).

[Miyuki]

Oh, wow, I can't believe I missed such an early quest @_@ Thank you. I'm surprised about the sprite thing being not so uncommon. I'm used to getting a lot of graphics errors (I am also not used to having a new computer so I expect poorer results x.X)

[jack_norton]

Can you try to check if you're running in DX or OpenGL? by holding shift on startup of the game, you can choose between DX and GL, you should try both and see if things improve thanks

[GeneDNC]

Choosing OpenGL fixed all the image problems (sprites and relationship meter). I can't seem to switch back to DX though, but since the graphics work now I don't really need to.

[Mink]

Well, my video card is (or should be; I haven't had to actually look at it in forever and had to remember where to find it) is:

Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family

Huh, I tried hitting shift at start up, but it didn't do anything (unless I didn't hold it long enough...). It's probably being run on DirectX, considering it didn't show up on a list of what was using OpenGL.

[jack_norton]

Thanks both of you!
@GeneDNC: interesting, so for you was better OpenGL than DX. Do you know what videocard you have?
@Mink: an Intel, I knew it If you hold shift long enough you will see the menu. Try holding shift before you start the game and keep it down until you see the menu. Then, try selecting OpenGL too and see if fixes your problem as well!

[GeneDNC]

I am not terribly savvy when it comes to the inside of a computer but as far as I can see my laptop -has an integrated Intel(R) HD Graphics adapter.
