Friday Stream Time (Is Over), And Update 0.5.1.8

So in between talking about music, music games, weird conversations, and freezing my butt off, progress was made today.

I worked on several things today. There were some bug fixes (newspaper, bookshelf, cat transformation, and an exploit at the lab), some corrections (sorry, everyone, but that busker job is sure as hell not going to pay as well as it did before), and some new content. For the new content, you should try to get friendly with the swimming girl at the beach (hint: swim a lot), and maybe try working out at the gym some time. You should probably focus on strength training.

None of the content is 100% complete, but I'm satisfied that there are new stages to things, and that's pretty significant. I also ended up putting in some new variables to account for various things, which is interesting (are you in a relationship? If so, is it with a boy or a girl? Why would I ever need to track that? Well...). Also, some more stuff is potentially revealed about your character's past, if you make the right choices.

If it feels like I'm bouncing around a lot, it's because I am. I don't want to focus on one thing for days on end, because that's how I go crazy. So I tackle and complete things piece by piece until there are enough pieces to justify an update. The new content in this particular update isn't a lot, but the bug fixes and corrections justify it in my book.

Anyway, links below.

In regards to Patreon, I have added some goals. Goals are limited so as not to balloon the scope of the project to untold levels, so first come, first serve.

  3. So I was thinking, with the landlady Maria, if you visit her after having sex with her once then her event it still shown like it's a surprise to the PC on the second time around. Just thinking the encounter should have a different text after the first time.

    1. She's actually only supposed to do it once, according to the design document. But you are correct.

  4. I bought the 'Collar with Bell' for Cow TF and still unable to wear it. Pls fix this bug.

    1. I'm kind of certain that it was never supposed to be wearable...

  5. Wearing the Beret or other caps then Advancing Day with test item results in the caps glitching/stuck unable to wear them again, like form-fitting clothes.

    1. Using the "Advance Day" option skips the functions for removing clothing and accessories, and is therefore very likely to cause glitches.

  6. Why do you still sometimes shrink when you choose the "Resist!" option in the shrinking and growing bad end?

    And will you do a fairy or insect tf someday? I would volunteer to help you with the story.

    1. Fairy, no. Insect, probably yes, but it would a game-ending TF.

      Delete
    2. Why a game ending TF? Whyx not a regular TF?

      And i already thought a little about it.

      The drug dealer could sell some "special honey" that tastes very delicious. the more you eat of it the more it transforms you into a hybrid bee/human woman.

  7. Hmmm...Seems did better in his deal with the mysterious magical Maria than the player does. Interesting.

  8. The Newspaper Subscription card seems to have a couple of bugs, The first is that if you choose not to fill it out before reading a purchased paper, it vanishes. The Second Related bug is that it will show in the store under the newspaper, where you can fill it out. The third is once you fill it out you lose any chance of seeing the newspaper again. It does not get delivered to the house.

    1. If you fill out the card then purchase the newspaper it remains in shop inventory, and you can not read it.

    2. Doesn't surprise me. I can fix it, though.

  9. I take it that Mike isn't implemented past the initial meeting in the gym? I get the card with the phone number, but I can't actually call him.

  10. So, looking back through the archives, it seems that to unlock the cat TF you need to not only get the cat statue, but also "let something happen" and "resolve it in a specific way". I can't possibly think of a more vague hint than that, and the wiki has no up-to-date information. Can someone give me some useful info as to how to unlock this? I've tried a bunch of stuff, but Cursed is a very hard game to experiment with. AM, if you read this, I think one thing that would be very good is an ingame hints system for the TF unlocks, similar to the style guide you have in the bookstore, and trying to find this goddamn needle in a haystack (that might be bugged anyway for all I know) has sucked all the fun out of the game for me.

    1. Let your apartment get dirty enough that a mouse takes up residence. When you hear the mouse, search for it. When you find it, try to catch it yourself. If you have enough Dexterity to pull it off, it will unlock the TF.

      The idea of an in-game hint system for TFs is a good one.

      Delete
    2. I assume that by TF you mean transformation. But yeah I only got the cat statute and waited about a month or so and started to transform into a cat. Nothing else needed. Not rat caught. I'm not sure if that's what you mean but I thought I'd share it anyway.

    3. Huh, that explains why I never encountered it in any of my runs. My characters almost always have the neat freak trait. Thanks!

  11. I am new to this, can someone explain how I can use .rag file? I need some software to run it?

    1. You need RAGS 2.4.16.0, found here: http://www.ragsgame.com/?page_id=6

  12. I don't know how far you made the cat transformation but it reaches a point for me that the feet changing part keeps repeating every day after I wake up and the transformation stops there, it gets stuck in a feet transfomation loop. Also the cat trait currently does nothing besides showing up in the traits menu althought the only one I was able to get was 'animal heat' because as I said the transformation is stuck at the feet changing.

    1. I can confirm this, the feet transformation seems to loop endlessly...

  13. Fun game, but there's a few issues for me...

    1: It becomes very overwhelming later on. Every action gives a wall of text that you have to read through.

    2: Lots of actions are irreversible, and some of which cause major events, even without your input (At random, using the breast pump, my character began to drink it every time, even without choosing to do it once.)

    2:The Lab quest comes far too early, and has too small of a deadline to complete, especially involving work, and maintaining daily routines.


    3: Lactation is off the wall. One second you use the breast pump, 2 time cycles later you have an insane milk breakout, even with the nursing bra.

    4: Could transformations become reversible sometime? Due to the breast pump issue, you quickly end up a cow girl.

    5: You get criticized for being overweight during the third promotion for the erotic work line, even if you are absolutely maxed for physical fitness (Jogging, Walking, and Gym every day).

  14. Hey man, what does the wings event currently do?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. It increases the Wings transformation. I think you'd need to see it 50-100 times to actually grow wings without having the bird statue though.

  16. Somebody please help me because I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Every time I try to open the game it says that the game file is unreadable. I've made sure the file isn't read only, I've deleted it and redownloaded it several times from separate browsers, none of them have worked, and the same with the RAGS software. I have exhausted every solution I can think of or that I've found without explicitly asking so if anyone could give me SOMETHING to work with, that would be great. I played this game a while back on an older laptop and I loved it and I really want to try out for myself what's changed since the last time I've played it.

    1. And just in case it's relevant, I have a Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro running Windows 10 with an Intel(R) Processor 5Y70 CPU at 1.1-1.3GHz with 8 gigs of RAM.

    2. Are you making sure to save the .rag file, rather than opening it? It has to be saved to your hard drive before you can run the file itself. The better way to open it is to run the RAGS play first, then open the game from the File menu.

      Hopefully that helps. If not, let me know.

    3. To add to Anonymous Man's comment, if what he said doesn't work. It may be a problem when you installed RAGS. I had the same problem as you and I have read on a different forum that it was because I had used the RAGS setup on the .msi format. You have to make sure that when you install RAGS that the setup file in on the .exe format. Once I did that the game started to work for me.

      Delete
    4. Yes, I have been saving the file before trying to open it and I've tried both opening the game directly and opening through RAGS, neither worked. As for the RAGS installation, even when I click on the .exe file, my computer still registers the .msi. I don't know if that's just my computer being a bitch or if that's just how it's designed, but yeah. I get the exact same installation screen from using either file.

      Delete
    5. I had the same problem. The problem is, somehow, caused by microsoft's SQL server. You need to download and install SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2. If you have 64 bit windows (which in this day and age, you very likely do) you need to install both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions. Once both of those are installed, RAGS will mysteriously start working again.

      Delete
    6. That's fine. The installation screen is the same for both .msi and .exe you can't tell them apart. The only difference is that .exe installs additional files that make RAGS work correctly, while .msi doesn't install those files. (Go figure). Either way just try to open the .exe, finish installation and try opening the game. If that doesn't work then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas for helping you but I hope that works! Good luck fellow cursed player!
