Hello! I'm having fun playing the game so far and the lore is so rich. I do have a problem. I play on mobile using JoiPlay and I can't figure out how to delete or load a save file, I was starting a new run but somehow I went back to a previous save and now I don't know how to load back my new run :(
I've been looking into this using the windows build in the latest public JoiPlay build (1.20.550) and can't seem to reproduce this problem on my device.
Are you closing the game using "Menu" > "Save and Quit"? The progress isn't automatically saved so if you or your device are closing the app in any other way that could cause this kind of behaviour.
Otherwise the problem might be a permission issue or the use of some outdated app or plugin.
I do have to admit, I've always been interested in this game, though playing it with self voicing is a bit of a pain, thank you for making this version, I'll test it out right now and hopefully it works better, thank you for all your hard work.
Hi, I'm a blind person, and so far, self voicing is working (press v when launching the game) however, there's a big bug. It keeps on reading the previous screen, so I've selected standard mode, and it's now reading the two mode descriptions constantly, followed by what it's meant to be reading, describing the world and such. I'm wondering, is there a chance this could be looked into?
From what I could gather, the problem appears to be that the self voicing feature of RenPy seems intended for newer code and more linear games. In this case it keeps reading the tips first and foremost every time the screen refreshes.
I'll try mapping a key to prevent all unnecessary text from being displayed more than necessary and perhaps add that information in a different way for the next release.
I'm also not really sure how to get started in the game. I've selected the adventurer class but not too sure what I should do first. If I press enter on colony it tells me info about it, but not too sure how to start exploring.
The lower right corner buttons (Feyfolk, Current Affairs, Settlement, Interests, Bio, Log, Colony and Lore) are all information screens. Actions are located at the upper left side of the screen (Correspondence, Territories, Projects, Forces and Stay Home),
To start exploring you'd have to select "Territories", which would show a map with different locations spread through the screen on which to click.
As the game stands right now, starting as an Outcast might be easier, as it takes you straight into a territory and gives you different choices in a manner similar to other more traditional text adventure games.
I'm very busy with my day job but give me about a week and I'll put something together to hopefully make the whole game more playable. So far I've added a options to remove all the tips and other redundant texts, replace images for text on information buttons and replacing the map for a list of territories.
I've been looking into this and the answer is not presently unless you edit the game files. I guess I disabled the RenPy game console at some point in the past.
I'll give this some thought because the default console could very easily ruin saves if used recklessly. Some sort of dedicated cheat menu or sandbox mode would probably be far safer, but of course also more time-consuming to implement.
Is there a way to have children? I know that you can woo people but i havent really seen any children things except in the bio and the end of the cycle thingy where you lose your money from having no descendants?
Yes, lovers are randomly generated with different hidden attitudes towards raising children. Continuing to woo and interact with those characters that want children will result in them putting forth different proposals.
Once you have at least one descendant, rather than risk hiding your money and probably losing it between cycles, it passes on to the children, which will go on to become either successful aristocrats making your life easier in the next cycle, or just plain ungrateful bums.
The next step should generally be to continue visiting other places from the "Territories" menu option, gathering a party of Renascents from them, and then retrieve and research the relic's pieces from those territories marked with the jigsaw puzzle icon as they show up.
Here's a simple guide I made some time ago that might also be of help along with the contextual in-game tips at the upper right.
just the amount and quality of lore is enough for me to love it. Just spent maybe 30minutes or so Just reading the lore and going through the mechanics of the game

I use the joiplay app on android to play this game and it won't let me save:(
This kinda hurts cause I'll invest at least an hour or 2 into a save and then i can't save and I gotta start over again.😢
Which version of JoiPlay are you using?
I actually had the same problem using the Play Store version but the latest public version from their Patreon fixed the problem for me.
Thank you so much🙏🏽this solved the problem for me thank you
