While playing on the latest version of your wonderful game, I found a lot of bugs. (I play exclusively on android) And also I have a couple of questions.
Exactly:
1. During fights, the icons of gg and Lani are replaced by wolves. (I still don't understand what this is connected with)
2. Sometimes when casting spells from enemies, an error is issued. (ignoring saves)
3. If you have sparring with Lani in the afternoon, and go along the Lani\ Marla line in the evening, then the plot does not go through to the end, the event massage immediately enters.
4. There are some braking animations of the battle, even with the game mode enabled on snapdragon.
5. When creating a copy of saving and pasting under a different name, the game does not recognize it, only with the help of replacement you can return the copy.
6. When skills increase more than 1000 level, during reincarnation it gives an error (ignoring saves)
7. Cooking food is unstable (I understand this perfectly well) but sometimes it kills right after the first cooking
8. The Lani\Marla icon can be triggered if you click the "skip" button and click on the Marla room icon.
9. I don't know how, but the foot massage quest doesn't work
That's all I've found so far, and now if it's not difficult to answer the questions)))
Where can I get a recipes ?
Are three animations in one scene or different ?
P.S Used a translator since I don't speak English well, I beg to forgive.
Hi, and thanks for the post. Some of these bugs haven't been mentioned yet, so it's quite helpful. I'm currently working through the code for bugfixes, so I've added these to my list.
As for your questions, the three animations are in only one scene for now (in Marla's bedroom). More are finished and will be released with the next game update in a few weeks. And the cooking recipes are currently hidden while inside the game (I intend to put some of them in the house library or various shops eventually, but that hasn't happened yet). I believe that some or all of the current recipes have been posted in the cooking section of our discord server. I'll throw an invite link below.
Hello and thank you for the invitation, I will be glad to join, I have already opened recipes had to sweat with combinations (I had to make a table XD)
I found a few more bugs in the game :
I'll start with a simple one))))
1. If you die after cooking, then through the back button and continue again, you can change the variation of "death" to "survived"
2. If you commit suicide and come back, one day is taken away(sometimes)
3. You can take a tent and a pot with you after reincarnation and pump it twice, I didn't find a mistake, but it's strange
4. Lani copies my stats and does not change them even if her level is higher than mine
5. Sometimes all items take the name of another and its quantity, after restarting the game for a couple of seconds, it is corrected again
And now the most difficult part.
1. Saving copies the code with each reincarnation and reaches as much as 20 MB, discovered recently, tried to edit, but after that it increases by 2 times and does not work
2. Finding items on a journey, as I understand it, depends on itself and increases from God, but if you constantly roll back ten times when choosing "+%", then you can find an item with -50%
I'm probably a terrible person who is looking for this and loads you with extra work, I hope you're not mad at me =)э
I wish you always good mood and health
I also found everything on the APK and translated it through a translator
The next version is currently working through error corrections and fine-tuning (I was too ambitious with this release and it's taken a great deal more time than I initially expected). I believe that it'll be ready in a few more weeks.
Your visual novel is a lot of fun for many reasons. The characters are great, the artwork is great, the scenarios of the story feel like a real adventure. You make me both look forward to an update and resent how long it takes you to produce one. I found a crashing bug with the books. I forget exactly what I did, but it had something to do with trying to eat a book and then 'canceling' instead of confirming, and a crash happens. Also I hope you'll disable the scroll wheel function soon.
That issue was fixed in version 2.9. For people still playing the free versions, you can find a workaround for this issue (sorta) by reading the "Known Bugs" section in the Version 2.8 Changelogs up above. I hope this helps!
Known Issues:
- Skill books may trigger an error message after earning a new skill. Rolling back and the error screen should correct the problem.
Update from The Cucumber posted on Discord this morning:
I've still got a pretty long list of things that need to be finished and/or integrated into the game, but I'm now in the process of checking things off of my list.
i'm suprised you care how long it's taking considering that it's free, the thing on patreon is a progress update stating that the next PATREON update is possibly in a few weeks at minimum and if i remember correctly they were planning on releasing a more stable version of 2.9 here after they did some work on it.
"Version 0.3 (the introduction of both story and procedurally generated dungeons) is currently beyond the halfway mark, but still a ways away. My current estimation is the end of April or the beginning of May (so three weeks or so from this post)."
Hi All, dev here. I'm just popping in to give a quick update to anyone reading the comments (if you're interested in consistent progress reports, drop by the Discord at https://discord.gg/YXJ9FB7BDe, I post up progress reports and screenshot previews pretty regularly). Version 0.3 (the introduction of both story and procedurally generated dungeons) is currently beyond the halfway mark, but still a ways away. My current estimation is the end of April or the beginning of May (so three weeks or so from this post). The coding is almost finished, but the visuals are a ways away.
For the free players, I'm also working on a tweaked version of 0.2.9 to correct the various Android malfunctions that will be released alongside the overhauled v0.3, so hopefully, everyone will get a good experience going forward no matter which device they use to play the game.
I know that my release cycle is quite long, so I really do appreciate everyone's patience. Once this dungeon update is finished, the plan is to release smaller content updates in a more timely fashion.
The next release will include Dungeon quests and expanded story content. It is taking a while. Right now, he's estimating another 6 weeks before the next update. We're discussing things to do that might make the wait easier to tolerate.
It looks like the Android Operating System isn't liking v.2.8 or v.2.9.3. The developer is aware of these problems and is trying to fix it. If you encounter problems, please come into our Discord Server and drop The Cucumber a line. He might be able to help you get around the problem. And/Or, you might have an Android problem he doesn't know about yet, and he needs that information to try to make v.3 (next release) work properly for everyone.
Not yet, and there probably won't be for several more months, at least. However, our Discord Server has very active members who know the game inside and out, as well as the Developer himself. If you post questions there, I'm sure you'll get a response within a few hours or one day, at most.
I definitely understand the game is in early days so to speak. But Ive gotta say, the current game is interesting but not fun. I really appreciate the humor and lore, its a fun take on spirituality and magic in a fantasy world. Plus strangely charming art. But the gameplay is one step away from from an idle clicker. Its essentially just grinding out arbitrary stats for arbitrary titles. After the first death loop I just couldnt be bothered to keep playing. It feels like a writer and an artist got together but forgot to consult a game designer. Just my personal opinion, certainly have no expertise
We're sorry to hear that this game doesn't meet your preferences. And we certainly understand that this type of gameplay is not for everyone. Cucumber is constantly looking for ways to improve the experience for the players, but he knows this will never be a game that is loved by everyone.
Thank you for taking the time to give it a try. And thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and opinions. I hope you succeed in finding other games that you will enjoy.
I don't want us to look non-responsive, so I'm putting this comment here. Thanks for joining our Discord and asking your question there. We're always happy to see a new face in our Server.
Quick solution that fixes some problems: - If you installed over an older version, go ahead and do a fresh install to see if that solves the problem.
If this is a fresh install, can you let me know what the error message says (you can either copy/paste it here or post the text file onto the 'issues' section of Discord. (link: https://discord.gg/YXJ9FB7BDe)
Looks like we have a lot of new comments and questions from this update. As always, if you have any questions or want to read what Cucumber has planned for the next Game Update, our Discord Channel is the place to be.
I believe there has been a response to this a few times from the dev and his wife. They haven't added sounds, and if they do add sounds, it's way down the road.
Basically, adding music requires different coding methods than what Cucumber has learned so far. He is self taught. And he hasn't taught himself how to put that into his game yet.
That said, he's hoping to add music some time in the next 12 months, and we have already bought some music that might work. Yay for Humble Bundles, am I right? =)
I think that clipping has been reported before, but I'll bring his attention to it again.
The art style was influenced by a mix of 1990s and early 2000s anime art styles plus Disney's Rapunzel. (Not for yucky reasons. He just thinks Disney does a good job on their character art.)
I've reached over 30 intelligence (so i'm supposed to get a title for that) and got the wizard title through the temple, but it says that i only have 2 titles and, among the owned titles, it only shows the computer programmer one. I believe it is a bug...
So I'm loving the game so far, even though I know it's still early in development. The dialog is fantastic, graphics are top notch... and I could go on. I only have one complaint. I'm currently at the part when Marla teaches Liam, how to pet Lani's tail. After that point, I immediately, had to get on here and say this: I really- (creative and insightful word that rhymes with "DUCKING")- dislike her. Maybe if I keep going it will get better, but right now it seems like she is just a spoiled bit... brat, that just wants to play with Lani and her only toy, because nobody wants to play with her. You have a great light-hearted love story, and she is wrecking a truck into it. Is it just me, that feels that way????
In version 2.9.3, a lot of new interactions (with and without Liam) have been added in between Marla and Lani that enhance the friendship/relationship between the two. Though, of course, only you will know whether or not you can come to like Marla.
I appreciate the feedback and I can certainly understand why it may come across that way, especially for a new player (all of the Marla/Lani interactions are new as of 2.9). Since this is an open-ish sandbox world, I'm not structuring the releases of the romance routes in a traditional sequence (or even a sequence that makes a lot of sense). Essentially, the only current route in the game is the polyamorous route (not to be confused with the harem route) and the beginning of Lani's individual route, so it's really sort of shoe-horned in there without any options for the player to pick and choose (since most choices would simply lead to nothing, I've omitted them in this version). This was done only because I was doing a lot of rendering in Marla's room in this most recent update, so I went ahead and did as much 'Marla's room' content as I could in the time I had. I know it seems strange for me to say it, but the current route is actually something that's not intended to be the primary route for most players in their initial playthrough of the game (I expect that most players will veer towards the Lani individual route when the options are made available). Couple that with having no real content for Marla's individual route other than the initial interactions and you have some scenes that may seem out of place.
As with a lot of these types of games, the final intended product will allow the player to choose their partner(s) and avoid the characters that they have no particular interest in, though finishing a route with one character will unlock additional options with that and other characters, so there will be incentives for the player to follow all of the routes eventually.
Thank you for the response. I went back and played through the last two scenes of the update. I also checked out some of the comments and saw that you had already stated that this route was only a possibility and the choice, in the end, would be up to the player. Again the art, 98% of the story and game play are a solid 10 out of 10. I can't wait for the next update.
I played this game for a bit and decided to look through the folder and I gotta ask Why can I see all the girls naked but not lani? I can only see lani in panties.
lani's boobs is visible but her crotch area is covered by panties.
I've FINALLY started to look into using the Itch.io versioning system for those who want to use it. That would mean that people who prefer to use the Itch app for downloads and updates should be good to go.
Right now, I've uploaded the game for win/linux and android, and the mac release is still uploaded the old-fashioned way.
Thank you so much for updating the devlog! Once I set a few affairs in order, I plan to send support via this platform as I have been banned from patreon for boycotting their suppression of content.
Version 2.9 has been released to the $10 and above Patrons on Patreon. Next week, 2.9.1 will be available to $5 patrons. And a few days after that, 2.9.1 will be made available on Itch for $2.00.
Please note that there are some issues in version 2.9 that the Cucumber will be patching (thus 2.9.1) before releasing to anyone other than the $10 patrons.
Is there any possibility that you could please update the development log? I want to donate what I can but I would love to see how development is going before I do. Thank you
Oh wow. He hasn't added a DevLog to Itch in over a year, huh? I'll nag him about it on Monday. It should be a simple Copy and Paste compilation from his Patreon posts.
Having the DevLog is important by showing a detailed list of improvements and the date of improvement, allowing others to see how often progress is made and if there is any gain by buying into development. The more people who are able to see an active dedication to your work, the more likely they will be willing to donate.
Cucumber was only a day or two away from testing out the upcoming game update before the kids' school closed for Winter Break about 2 weeks ago. Our boys go back to school starting Monday, and Cucumber will be able to start developing again.
As always, if you have any questions or want to read what Cucumber has planned for the next Game Update, our Discord Channel is the place to be.
Hey, just wanted to say this now in case I forget to in the future, Merry Christmas! (And if you celebrate something else, happy whatever you celebrate, whether it's Hanukkah, or winter's solstice, or something else!)
Example of information that you get to have just by joining our Discord. The Cucumber gives lots of informal updates like this in Discord pretty regularly.
We have several people in our Discord Server that could help answer this question for you. In fact, there was a discussion about the Cat Person title just last week, I believe. I encourage you to join us there. That said, this is obviously a common question. I'll ask Cucumber to come respond.
Car person is hard locked to Lani's highest level, thus it can only get to level 3 or 4 in the current version of the game (same thing for protagonist and party planner, which are attached to player max level and max combined party level).
Programmer is a title that can only be unlocked in dungeons, which is planned for release in version 0.2.10. So short answer is that there is no legit way to level those titles at this time.
If you're interested in future content like that, do visit the discord, I try to be pretty open about plans for titles and content, and a lot of player suggestions have already been included in current and planned game versions.
Yes, chicken death is required to unlock the title system. In the next version, you get a bonus level of the chicken title for winning in your first life, since everyone seems to agree that there should be at least a little reward.
He plans to host the files on Itch...eventually. But it's a low priority for him right now. I'll try bringing it up with him again after the next release.

I'd already paid for the last version, do I have to pay for the new one as well?
on this site, you don't need to
I got a question
When is the new version going to. Be FREE
when will the new update for the game be released
The next version is currently working through error corrections and fine-tuning (I was too ambitious with this release and it's taken a great deal more time than I initially expected). I believe that it'll be ready in a few more weeks.

Thank you for enjoying the game.
For the book issue you found, which version and platform are you playing?
2.8 pc
That issue was fixed in version 2.9. For people still playing the free versions, you can find a workaround for this issue (sorta) by reading the "Known Bugs" section in the Version 2.8 Changelogs up above. I hope this helps!

I've still got a pretty long list of things that need to be finished and/or integrated into the game, but I'm now in the process of checking things off of my list.
So yea where is it
Did you even look at their patreon?
I mean the free one
i'm suprised you care how long it's taking considering that it's free, the thing on patreon is a progress update stating that the next PATREON update is possibly in a few weeks at minimum and if i remember correctly they were planning on releasing a more stable version of 2.9 here after they did some work on it.
Free version only gets updated when new paid versions are released. This ensures that the Patrons receive the benefits they have been promised.
U said I'll come in between the end of April
Where is it
Relax.
"Version 0.3 (the introduction of both story and procedurally generated dungeons) is currently beyond the halfway mark, but still a ways away. My current estimation is the end of April or the beginning of May (so three weeks or so from this post)."

Yes, thank you for the welcome!
Are there animated scenes?
v0.2.9.3 has my first animated scenes. Everything is still images in earlier versions (future versions will also include more animation).
very cool. thx
2.9.3 (Android) crashes at the Ren'Py loading screen after updating the app. I did a clean install as well with the same results
Can you send me a dm on discord? I have another compile for android that may work for you. Discord link: https://discord.gg/YXJ9FB7BDe
(I'd send it to you here, but I don't see any way to send a private message...)
I keep getting expetion error after getting the v0.2.9.3 windows. I keep getting it on the Lani-marla scene and when i try to look at my game info.
Quick solution that fixes some problems:
- If you installed over an older version, go ahead and do a fresh install to see if that solves the problem.
If this is a fresh install, can you let me know what the error message says (you can either copy/paste it here or post the text file onto the 'issues' section of Discord. (link: https://discord.gg/YXJ9FB7BDe)
what are the codes
We don't know what "codes" you're talking about. There are no codes in the game.
sure
Is there any mega link for Android?
Yeah, mega links for the free versions are up on patreon (https://www.patreon.com/SprintingCucumber)

Some day...he will add a Discord button on the Itch page. Some day....
Y is there no sound?
I believe there has been a response to this a few times from the dev and his wife. They haven't added sounds, and if they do add sounds, it's way down the road.
Ah, really? Like, not even some free music by Kevin McLeod or anything? What a pity.
Thanks for the reply
No problem, mate
Basically, adding music requires different coding methods than what Cucumber has learned so far. He is self taught. And he hasn't taught himself how to put that into his game yet.
That said, he's hoping to add music some time in the next 12 months, and we have already bought some music that might work. Yay for Humble Bundles, am I right? =)
That makes sense! Thank you for taking the time to respond!
Sound is not on the list for the current update (0.3.0), but it IS planned for the next one (0.3.1).
Lol, this game's graphics looks like it's straight out of the Youtube channel Cool 3D World. It's not bad, it just has a strange feeling to it.
Anyway, when Bessy falls in the scene at the temple, her hallux goes inside the floor. I believe that render should be redone
I think that clipping has been reported before, but I'll bring his attention to it again.
The art style was influenced by a mix of 1990s and early 2000s anime art styles plus Disney's Rapunzel. (Not for yucky reasons. He just thinks Disney does a good job on their character art.)
I've reached over 30 intelligence (so i'm supposed to get a title for that) and got the wizard title through the temple, but it says that i only have 2 titles and, among the owned titles, it only shows the computer programmer one. I believe it is a bug...
You only get new titles added after dying. As far as I am aware.
The titles earned from praying at the temple are the only exceptions to the death rule at this time.
Ah, I see, thanks!
So I'm loving the game so far, even though I know it's still early in development. The dialog is fantastic, graphics are top notch... and I could go on. I only have one complaint. I'm currently at the part when Marla teaches Liam, how to pet Lani's tail.

As with a lot of these types of games, the final intended product will allow the player to choose their partner(s) and avoid the characters that they have no particular interest in, though finishing a route with one character will unlock additional options with that and other characters, so there will be incentives for the player to follow all of the routes eventually.
Thank you for the response. I went back and played through the last two scenes of the update. I also checked out some of the comments and saw that you had already stated that this route was only a possibility and the choice, in the end, would be up to the player. Again the art, 98% of the story and game play are a solid 10 out of 10. I can't wait for the next update.
I played this game for a bit and decided to look through the folder and I gotta ask Why can I see all the girls naked but not lani? I can only see lani in panties.
lani's boobs is visible but her crotch area is covered by panties.
but not with the other girls.
No reason really, I just had her default to underwear when it was being rendered.
ah okay
I've FINALLY started to look into using the Itch.io versioning system for those who want to use it. That would mean that people who prefer to use the Itch app for downloads and updates should be good to go.
Right now, I've uploaded the game for win/linux and android, and the mac release is still uploaded the old-fashioned way.
Thank you so much for updating the devlog! Once I set a few affairs in order, I plan to send support via this platform as I have been banned from patreon for boycotting their suppression of content.
No problem.
Version 2.9.1 is available on Patreon for $5.00 patrons and above. He plans to release it to Itch on Monday.
Version 2.9 has been released to the $10 and above Patrons on Patreon. Next week, 2.9.1 will be available to $5 patrons. And a few days after that, 2.9.1 will be made available on Itch for $2.00.
Please note that there are some issues in version 2.9 that the Cucumber will be patching (thus 2.9.1) before releasing to anyone other than the $10 patrons.
Is there any possibility that you could please update the development log? I want to donate what I can but I would love to see how development is going before I do. Thank you
Oh wow. He hasn't added a DevLog to Itch in over a year, huh? I'll nag him about it on Monday. It should be a simple Copy and Paste compilation from his Patreon posts.
Having the DevLog is important by showing a detailed list of improvements and the date of improvement, allowing others to see how often progress is made and if there is any gain by buying into development. The more people who are able to see an active dedication to your work, the more likely they will be willing to donate.
Quick Update:
Cucumber was only a day or two away from testing out the upcoming game update before the kids' school closed for Winter Break about 2 weeks ago. Our boys go back to school starting Monday, and Cucumber will be able to start developing again.

Hey, just wanted to say this now in case I forget to in the future, Merry Christmas! (And if you celebrate something else, happy whatever you celebrate, whether it's Hanukkah, or winter's solstice, or something else!)
Thank you very much. Happy Holidays to you, too! Our family had a very busy holiday season.

P.s. I'm Cucumber's wife.
So, i need to know how to up my computer programming title. its the last thing i need and idk how to get it without cheating!
Also Cat Person
We have several people in our Discord Server that could help answer this question for you. In fact, there was a discussion about the Cat Person title just last week, I believe. I encourage you to join us there. That said, this is obviously a common question. I'll ask Cucumber to come respond.

Car person is hard locked to Lani's highest level, thus it can only get to level 3 or 4 in the current version of the game (same thing for protagonist and party planner, which are attached to player max level and max combined party level).
Programmer is a title that can only be unlocked in dungeons, which is planned for release in version 0.2.10. So short answer is that there is no legit way to level those titles at this time.
If you're interested in future content like that, do visit the discord, I try to be pretty open about plans for titles and content, and a lot of player suggestions have already been included in current and planned game versions.
if you beat the chicken you still die.
Is this still happening?
Yes, chicken death is required to unlock the title system. In the next version, you get a bonus level of the chicken title for winning in your first life, since everyone seems to agree that there should be at least a little reward.
Hi Manny. Our Discord is https://discord.gg/YXJ9FB7BDe
The Cucumber is very active there.
Could you also host the file on itch? I'm using the desktop app and it doesn't even pull up a file to download.
Is this problem still happening?
He plans to host the files on Itch...eventually. But it's a low priority for him right now. I'll try bringing it up with him again after the next release.
