Greetings,
Still working on Episode 4 but I wanted to drop by and get the news out that we're going to be doing weekly videos of behind the scenes and such (half will be public, the other half will be Patron only) starting later this week. They are going to be fairly simple initially (don't want to pull too much time out of dev work to edit videos and such right now). This is going to be keeping all players and people who follow the game more informed on development and able to more easily leave feedback on things. I'll post video links here in the thread to all the public video Patreon posts.

I was an idiot and forgot to post the first video. It's rough (explanation as to why in the description). https://www.patreon.com/posts/work-in-progress-11934099
This is a great game,I'm really enjoying it. I am having issues getting a few scenes though. Is there any sort of walkthrough out there?
No official one yet, but what's the issue, maybe I can help point you in the right direction.
I have started a wiki on the site but it's so bare I've not made it public. I just haven't had time to do anything with it like fill in information or anything.
So I did the update from the game itself v3.5.5 and I have a few left over files in the Update directory and HAD an error log that indicated that the update process could not write some files. Unfortunately, trying the update again overwrote that file so I no longer have it. I definitely have an extra audio.rpa.new file in the game directory that is larger than the original audio.rpa file that is still in the directory.
I still get traceback errors about "Mother" not being defined. Started a new game as a female captain engineering, was given a choice about family members and picked brother only. Went on the cave expedition. Chose to support my crewmate instead of the alien we just met. Picked visit Armin(? spelling) on the ship. Error throws in his conversation.
Other odd things, during the rescue mission, Cea says something that implies the MC is male about Adam and the MC wanting to stop when the MC is female. I believe there is another line like that with the captain but I would have to look through it again.
Another thing, still on this pass, put up a forcefield around artifact before it blows up, weird dude loses an eye and an arm, shows up with the new parts as part of the rescue team but when visited on the ship was stored in a holo suite as if he died, talking about visiting programs other crewmembers open.

There is a glitch present with the parents/sibling and I've been trying to squash it but it keeps rearing it's head despite me doing a complete rewrite of the system and I feel there's an issue somewhere in the way I'm doing my python. Working on it but you have my apologies for that problem (that is also why Armin throws an error, it's looking for a variable that for some reason wasn't getting filled). Part of the problem is you have to replay Episodes 1 and 2 to remove the glitch... as a result of that we're going to have a save file creator before Episode 5 so we'll get everything patched up in time for that.
As for the other issues (Bojin being virtual when ze is supposed to be an amputee, and Cea's dialog being for Male even when you're playing a Female PC) I just went through and fixed them, thank you. Pushing out an update soon (likely tomorrow).

Replying on my phone so I don't have access to the game logs.
A couple more errors. Slave David path. Played all the way from selecting the MC specialty to the end selecting David as my slave. I saw the meditation scene but it doesn't update in the gallery. Also on that path, when selecting next time I will use your mouth and choosing negotiate, I get a trace back error something like Actor_Training_Level1 undefined when the dream slutty slave event triggers. I would imagine it would happen with use your hand as well but I ran out of time to test it.
Now some dialogue things, Asa Inari path. When you talk to the Inari to set it up, your truth line is I want to see Asa and Chloe have sex. Which is just wrong. Ashe shore leave. Bridge to far bridge is mispelled
Found the other MC as female but dialog indicates male, in the captains office near the end of the game, line is a couple of years ago you wouldn't have me as a first officer as a male MC. Same line is used for female MC.
Now some thoughts about the game. Ashe path to shore leave is probably the best part of the game for me. The way you develop the interactions throughout the story to lead to her thinking about doing things with the MC is great. And you get a bonus shot of her ass in chapter 1.
You have two male characters you can interact with on shore leave that near as I can tell lead nowhere right now. Plus the weird guy in the buffer. For a female MC who really wanted a male slave you spend a lot of time sexing up the ladies. But not all the ladies. Unlike TOS, where Kirk hit on every alien chick he saw, your MC, male or female gets no action with this side of the galaxy's gals. Sure he spends a bunch of time in the buff with Nali, thank you for that, but then she gets sent away. Then I don't get to see how Cea manages to get memory sucking electrodes on Rin while sexing her. I want to see what makes her so hot that she is hanging around the infirmary. Now we have the rebel from episode 1 who we never see again, and her companions that are never mentioned after the fight scene. Shouldn't we be trying to save them too? What about a little time trying out the bed in the brig with your prisoner? There is a great way to extract info, just ask Chloe.
Oh one set of renders stands out by not matching dialog. If you negotiate, the image after the Nali section where you meet up with the rest of your team is correct. But you use that image in the other path as well and the central figure in the image is the character you just rescued where the dialog previous is we should have brought more armor. She should be nude there.
Love long hair Rachel, not a big fan of the hack job she did at the end but I understand how it fits the story.
I think that it for now.

Okay, let me get those fixes done, thank you for the write ups on them (I need to change up my code commenting to get this done easier before release, and I need to get more beta responses from the Patrons, damn)
As for sexing the people on this side of the galaxy, we'll get there. Part of it is if I make everything sexual I lose some of that seriousness that keeps this from becoming a porn parody of a sci-fi, so having sex with Ziya when she's in the brig just doesn't work in my head for that reason.

I know Ziya is off limits for now as the story stands. I'm just looking to the future. We need to find out if she was part of the double cross or was duped by D'Ren herself so there needs to be more interogation.
About your Python code for the family stuff, in chapter 1 there are paths where I get to pick what family I have left and give them a name. You save the name to be used later but you need to set a flag variable i.e. has_mother=True or False to be tested later to indicate if you should use that saved name. Then in the dream sequence when the captain asks about your family you can really be suspicious if she asked about someone you know you told her was dead.
Along those lines, I see no good reason in this game to change the name of the MC so I am glad you have given us a default. But every time I speed through skipping dialog I always have to stop and enter a name for brother or sister or mother or father and they now get single letter names because it annoys me and I can't see where those names would impact the game play.
There are other dialog things that could be fixed but I would actually have to read through the game again and after the first few passes I take liberal advantage of the skip button, takes for that.
Oh and thanks for the wiki or I never would have been able to get Ashe on shore leave, and probably the cat girl too. I am terrible with names in real life and now you throw a bunch of alien names at me, I'm lucky I can do as many as I have.

The names of your family impact things later on (in fact Episode 5 features them coming up in a few discussions which is one of the reasons I'm having a save creator before episode 5, since replaying everything for that one line would be a pain.) In episode 2 bringing up a 'dead' family member is a missed opportunity... shit. Didn't even occur to me.
You may want to update the first post of the thread: the image is for episode 4, and the link points to the post of episode 3.
I am legitimately surprised at how much I enjoyed this. I was close to dismissing this due to the 3D models, but what I found inside was some good jokes and an interesting story! Although, IIRC it was hard to follow around Episode 2 and 3. Mainly the sheer amount of odd names being thrown around.
Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, I think it tones down the random names in episode 4 and 5 more or less, but there's just a lot of ground to cover in the first few episodes.
The Commander being the PC has whatever sexuality the player determines. I don't really see what benefit there would be to declaring it as a variable when people are already going to self determine what their Commander is into. If you have a reason though I'm down to hear it.
Rin's programming of Kura is going to take a while... likely will come into play when we get to the next season (which is going to be a more relationship and world exploration heavy arc (though not a complete departure from the plot and themes of season 1, it will be a little less dreary with ever present doom and gloom)
It's a rather small issue, but.... when the Commander is on Inanna choosing your indentured servant, as a female(can't say for male since I won't even bother playing as one), the fact that there is a complaint about the lack of male indentured servants is what had me thinking about declaring Commander's sexuality. Since there is an option in Chapter One of declaring that Nikka and you went on two dates and even had a little roll between the sheets, why would it be a problem if there is a lack of male servants? With Rin being open that she has children with multiple partners, it shouldn't be much of a problem if the female Commander wanted to have children, if you choose to add an option of impregnating/getting pregnant, which would be interesting.
