Poking about the demo right now... quick question: was the 'silly stuff' meant to be bonus only? Because otherwise, it's showing up in the gallery when I investigate. It is truly hilarious though! I just watched Otto 'save the day'

Typos spotted (with spoiler tags, since unsure if some of them count or not):
Or is that not a typo, and Robert's meant to have an accent..? I never played the first two, and I just realized a lot more of the typos/grammar things seem to be in his speech than in anyone else's.

I noticed a little bug. It's not a big one, but I'm pretty sure that the game's not supposed to work that way. When you've just leveled up in an advanced skill and can't repeat that activity because your basic skills aren't high enough, the game won't let you rest. When I click the rest button, it tells me that I don't have the skills to do that activity (the same message I get when I try to train the advanced skill).

Also, when you get a Bad Ending for the various romances, is that because of your virtue/vice scores?

Some more typos at the Red Lantern:

Sometimes, the 'scarcely dressed' women should be 'scantily dressed' instead.

Ex:

"There were women scarcely dressed, but it was not nearly as provoking or cute as they said."

should be

"There were scantily dressed women, but it was not nearly as provocative or cute as they said."

Thanks for the typos, sleepykitten sent me a fixed version this morning but I had already uploaded the beta, so will check if she already made those corrections. I decided to make the silly stuff available for everyone
Will also check the rest bug and do an update probably tomorrow! thanks

Ah forgot, the romance failed depends only on the relationship. The virtues/sins influence only the profession endings. Let me know if you find the romances too hard to win. In theory if you pick ALL the right answers you should be close to the score of 90 (required to have a successful romance). Then with the random tavern events (those in which you can invite a character) you should be able to reach the 90 required points (they're not actually completely random, happens regularly). Of course some are harder and some are easier. John is one of the easiest since I considered him "canon ending". Sebastian probably one of the most difficult.
Anyway I might simply increase the starting value (right now is 10) to make things easier.

Comment: I splurged on the preorder anyway. Figure it gives me something nice to look forward to after exams.

Robert isn't native English, so his wording isn't perfect but it improves over time (since it's 3 years), so at the beginning there may be a word or two missing from his speech. >.>b Guess we can add that in the intro more backstory for Ebele/Robert to clarify a few things...

(When I was editing, wasn't sure how much to tackle Robert's sentences. Only a few seemed obviously fragmented, so I assumed that Robert, at this point, pretty much grasped English besides a few errors here or there. Didn't know if I should remove fragments, or make it more obvious English isn't his native language... Trying to find the best balance here. ^^;)

And I'll make those other corrections and send them to you, Jack, ASAP. ^^v

Sebastien is definitely hard. So far, I've not been able to get his score past 76 by the critical date, despite multiple attempts. ^_^' I found Morgan to be the easiest, in fact he's the only one I've managed. From my experiences thus far, I'd have to say that I wouldn't mind the relationship score starting a bit higher, but maybe it's just me having a difficult time.

All of the colony activities have a person who when invited along gives you +3 bonus except farmer... is that an error? I invited everyone along for that job and to most bonus i got was 2+ with Ebele. and Robert's the only person who doesn't have a job in which inviting him +3

Having a problem after I set the game to fullscreen on Mac, then quit. Tried to start it up again and the screen is completely black, and I can't do anything but listen to the opening soundtrack or force quit.

Tried reinstalling but it still opens back up in fullscreen mode with a nonresponsive black screen.

Found out how to fix it by pressing alt-enter, but I figured you guys would want to know about this anyway
