That game isn't going to be any good if Rimplush isn't in it.

Petition to add Rimplush to MoC if it is not there yet :^)

Seconded.

There is no need for a petition. So yeah.

Omg this already sounds amazing

I can't tell if "unlick" is deliberate or not, but I like it either way!

it's a typo, hah. thanks and i'll get it fixed

Oh, looks great, I gotta give it a try.

Although I cannot draw nor create assets, I may be able to help via finding bugs or providing tips as I am a developper myself.

Yeah, beta testing is still something I'll get around to organizing when the actual game is complete. Not sure when though. There's still many months ahead before I'll get to that stage.

That's kind of you. At the present moment, donations are not really a necessity for the project to keep on moving, though perhaps in the future it might change.

Boop and Lick options gave me a tickle. xD

As any curious dragon would do, I'd think :P

That's a really cool project, I must say!

Thanks! I hope people think its cool too.

This will be a cute little game

This game is really fun. The characters and humor are fantastic and world its very interesting!

Thank you. Glad you found it so.

I just played the demo and I have to say this is impresive !
The characters are well written, the story is super interesting and there are plenty of jokes that made me smile or laugh in a way I wanted to play again and start booping/liking every single element in the game !

This is a really cool project, congratulations and keep it up ! Creating a game has always been a long journey, but the demo trully shows the passion that animates you to make it !

Thanks for playing the demo! I'm glad that people are enjoying simply walking around and interacting with the environment. That stuff in particular is extremely time consuming to implement. And yeah, I'll keep the project going for sure. There are many hurdles ahead and I can only hope I'll be able to overcome them.

Aw that is really nice, Rim! I think the kind of humor you usually produce could be a great refreshing factor for a genre like this.

Yeah, mystery games are not the most popular of genres out there. So I do hope to give it a fresh new take. Had a hunch I might be onto something here.

I definitely think so. Keep it up!

Interesting, very interesting!
I'm sure it'll be charming as hecc~!

gracias!

How far does the Demo go? I got to the farms and the enforcer stopped me from going any farther. I couldn't find any Key item to convince them to let me pass

There is still abit more content after that.

Any chance it could be packed differently? The exe included in the zip archive doesn't work on Linux / Wine, though most RPG Maker games do so I could probably give it a go if I can unpack it without the installer.

I had a friend repackage it without the custom encryptions. Unfortunately neither of us have Linux machines to be able to reliably test to see if this version works, but here it is. Good luck.

Awesome: The game loads and I can actually get through the intro sequence just fine! It's after it says "Now loading..." that there's an error, apparently due to a missing file:

Failed to load: img/parallaxes/!RimsDen-LeftRoom-Bottom-Day1.png

The directory www/img/parallaxes is indeed empty, as are many others. I'm assuming this might be a packaging issue and the exporter forgets to include some assets.

If it's not asking too much: Can you check if there's a way to solve all missing file cases? Especially since I've gotten this far and the game runs, I'd really like to try it out now

Give me a day or two and I'll try to get a fix for that. I think I may know what it issue is.

Updated the game with the link above, it should get rid of the parallaxes errors...but no idea if any errors will prop up.

That actually seems to have solved it: I can get to the first level and wander around at least until the garden (it's beautiful by the way) no errors or missing assets. Thank you lots for your help, it will be nice to see this lovely game once I fully check it out ^_^

Im relieved to hear it works. Hopefully the entire demo works too!

Gave it a try today, gorgeous and adorable game so far! If this becomes a full game it will be one of the best in the fandom I'm sure.

I'm running into an issue which I'd be shocked if it were related to the Linux version, but asking just in case: When I talk to Enforcer Maggis I'm told I need to show her an item then the prompt says to use G to interact using an item. This works on other objects however it doesn't work on her (although talking with Space does). Thus I can never give her the item and advance! Any thoughts on what could be causing that?

Thank you for playing. I'm glad you've found value in what I've done so far. A shame you had to run across a game breaking bug near the end of the demo.

What you came across, I just checked, looks like a bug I overlooked while I was making recent changes to the demo. In the original demo the interact button was the [S] key, but I changed it to [G] to allow for WASD movement. Seems like I forgot to change the interact key for that NPC.

I'm not certain if this will fix it, but if you set the keyboard config to default in the options menu (turning off WASD movement), and manually keybind the interact button to [S], it might work? Just as a temporary measure. Otherwise, I'll have do make a hotfix, which might reset your save data if you made one.

Didn't seem to work, tried from different angles and directions again. Not sure if this is related, but F doesn't work on this NPC either. Sounds like I'll likely need to wait for the fix.

Alright. Just updated the link again with the fix. Sorry for the persistent issues.

Can confirm it works! No worries, and thank you once more for being so helpful with fixing issues. I'm very glad I could help with finding bugs, will let you know if I notice anything suspicious again.

That is neat.

Got through the whole demo fine thanks to your help with fixing game-breaking bugs earlier. This is a really sweet and beautiful game with lots of potential, I'm eager to see the next update! Since I wanted to help more I've made a list of all the notable bugs I've come across:

- If you choose the negative path and enter the building earlier than you've been allowed to, you get the cutscene where the manager is surprised at you entering. Afterward when Rim tries to leave the building, the person tells him to wait for one more thing. Upon continuing after this message, the game pauses forever, as if another dialog was supposed to come but never does. I waited for almost a minute but nothing would happen and it didn't unfreeze either.

- Some key items don't disappear from your inventory after you give them to folks. Others seem to be in your inventory without any background as to how they got there.

- The text exceeds the box size and gets cut off on the right side for some dialogs. Here's an example screenshot of such a case: https://i.imgur.com/qd0EsbI.png

- After pressing F to interact with an object, you sometimes automatically get the prompt for interacting with an item as if you pressed G. Wasn't sure if this is a bug or intentional, but it feels overhand so maybe it can be disabled especially where not needed.

- Some generic objects (such as big trees and lamp posts) don't have the option to interact with them by using F while most do. This is a really insignificant one, just thought I'd point it out for conformity's sake.

P.S. It's rarer for me to find a dragon inherently cute and cuddly of all things, especially ones that aren't based on chibi cartoon anatomy. Rimentus found a way to do that though, he's always just adorable

Glad you enjoyed the demo and appreciate your comments. Yeah, shame the linux version is abit janky atm as that version was made in the midst of me implementing new things into the full game (the PC version of the demo uses [A] and [S] for interacting, no keyboard config option, and a few other things), but at the very least, glad you were able to make it to the end of the demo, which was my main goal. Stuff like interacting with trees and lamppost were present in the PC demo but i must've forgotten to re-add them into the linux one.

In either case, thanks for listing the bugs. I can definitely check them out and make the necessary fixes.

Well, I know what I'm doing this week!
