I've put together a brief guide about the way the game works up there in the "Help" section. It should contain all the necessary information to understand what's going on inside your games without spoiling much of the fun.
I've also been doing some small changes to help make everything clearer inside the game. Nothing serious, just a few messages here and there and the like.
But most often I've just been busy fixing bugs. I can only hope that you have the patience to bear with me while I get them all cleared out. I really want to get to the new content, pictures and features, but first I have to make sure there aren't any more crashes.
Bugfix 3 is up now, let's see if it can be the last bugfix at least for a while now.
A few more random crashes and the captured units thingy have been fixed, again.
Edit: Now we're up to bugfix 4, but it looks like it's slowly settling down. I'll still keep an eye on crashes, bugs and the like, but I'll also start moving on with the new stuff.
If there are any more crashes, please report them. If any old problems persist, try a clean install. Shall these problems still persist, notify me again.
Copypasting the full traceback here makes fixing them much easier too if any is given by the program.
I don't know why, but I seem to be unable to download this game... The page the download link goes to never loads. Is there another way to download the game?
ReplyDeleteWeird, has this been going on for long?
ReplyDeleteHere, I've put together a mediafire mirror, it's not fancy but at least it should work for now.
http://www.mediafire.com/?yayayn1oak720
It's been going on since I found the site through RockPaperShotgun a couple days ago. So, not long, but for the last two versions. I did try a couple different browsers, so I don't know whats up...
DeleteMediafire worked, thanks.
Hey, I just downloaded your game tonight and it's very interesting. I was raised on FPSs but I'm really enjoying Anamnesis so far. I did however encounter a crash (which wasn't entirely bad seeing as I had negative Arkhe) and I was wondering how to go about reporting it. Should I zip the crash log?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing where you go with this. I'm pretty experienced in beta testing/bughunting so if you ever need testing done I'd be happy to help.
Thanks for the encouragement and the offer, I'm kind of lacking in the whole testing department as you might have well noticed. I'd appreciate it if you would let me know any other bug you find.
DeleteFor now, the crash you reported should be fixed in bugfix 4.
Just read the bit about pasting the traceback:

Is the game crashing so often because you're forcing Ren'py to do stuff it was never meant to do? /curious
ReplyDeleteAnyway, game crashed again. Can't remember what I was doing, though.

I would blame myself before blaming Ren'py, I'm not much of a coding person after all.
DeleteWith the way the game is built it's tricky to test with few players too, this particular crash for example was one chance in 292.
Anyway, it should be fixed in bugfix 4.
Thank you for getting out bugfixes so quickly! You should consider recruiting beta-testers on the Lemmasoft forum or some other indie game sites; I'm sure people would be willing to help.
DeleteIn the meantime, I'll keep on playing and sending you tracebacks if the game crashes. I'm loving it so far (even though I haven't won once, even on governor mode!) and I'm really looking forward to the stuff you're going to add in the future.
Glad to hear that.
DeleteI've actually been about to post about this game in the Lemmasoft forum once. I ultimately decided not to because it felt somewhat out of place, I figured people go there looking for visual novels rather than games of this kind.
True, that's the general focus of that site, but you'd be surprised at the variety of games that are emerging there. Apart from your run-of-the-mill visual novels, there are also simulations, complicated stat-raisers, RPGs, adventure games, puzzle games... Scheherazade by Academagia devs, for example, is sort of in the same general genre that this game is. Only not really, since this game is pretty much unique. King of Dragon Pass is the obvious comparison, but I don't think there've been any other games that are quite like Amnanesis or KoDP. Which is sort of sad, because I love this kind of gameplay!
DeleteIt might be worth a shot then, I'll consider it next time since, luckily, it looks like this version is (finally) stabilizing now.
DeleteQuite frankly, one of the main reasons why I started making this game was in fact because I wanted more games like KoDP but I couldn't find any.
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

This should be fixed in bugfix4, if you want to avoid it in the meantime just avoid clicking where it tells you how many attempts you have left during quests.
DeleteThanks for reporting.
This is really a very interesting game. It reminds me of King of Dragon Pass.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you enjoy working on it so that we can see it grow in the coming months (and years?), because it has a ton of potential. Not enough developers have looked into this odd and wonderful style of game.
That's nice to hear, I can only wish this game ever gets to be nearly as good as KoDP is.
DeleteI don't see myself getting tired of developing and specially playing Anamnesis in the nearby future. And even if I ever do, I'll just add new features to make it fun again!
