Finished Act 1 (for the first time in months) on Nightmare as Druid/Ranger. Liked the tuning in general. I actually ended up using the tavern a few times this run, though I didn't need to stoop to potions. Mormont by far was the hardest fight (took at least a dozen tries to figure out the right strategy), but definitely doable.

Couple things though with the trial page. (Yes, I have a code that I'll enter now, but first...)

The very first screen showing off the amazing artwork in act 2 looks slightly less impressive than I expected: The line "So many questions, and there is only one way to find it out..." should be "find out" (no "it").

I clicked "Maybe Later" and found your new, more aggressive marketing strategy. Apparently previews of the full game aren't enough. If someone refuses to buy at the end of the trial, you flip out and crash their game.

Sidenote: I had some issues with your store last night, but it's hard to get detailed instructions to reproduce without accidentally buying the game again. Namely, when I filled in my info, it had a fit that I didn't log in and sent me a cleartext password via email so that I could log in and use the exact same billing information (except I had to fill in half the fields again). No way to check out as a guest? Also, the SotW store page doesn't list the difference between the normal and deluxe editions.

On the activation page:
Title should be "One-time activation" (hyphen).

Text should say "and press the enter key. Note: make sure you're connected to the internet!"

"Please type:" is a weird label. Shouldn't this be something like "Email/Code:"? Also, I don't think there's any reason to pre-fill this with "none" since I have to delete it before entering my key.

No "Activate" button? I almost clicked the "main menu" button before I checked and found out I had to press enter.

I spotted a few typos on item descriptions when I was in the Act 1 store and didn't write them all down. (So testers, if you see any typos, help note them since some items don't always appear!)

What I could catch on a reload:
- "Amethyst", "Aquamarine", "Agate", and "Ruby" aren't capitalized, but all the other items seem to be. Basically, check all the gems.
- Aquamarine's and Agate's description should say "...to make a few gold."
- I think Ruby's description should be a "large sum" or a "fair sum" instead of "good sum", but not sure if that's just me.
- Potion of Minor Restoration - you say "HPs" here, but I think "HP" would do and would match the text everywhere else.
- The ruined pelt should probably say "poor condition" instead of "bad condition".

Thanks for the grammar/typos fix and yes I removed a background forgetting that I used it in the buy scree I've now used another one still present in the game.

Ah this is new. I submitted report to Ren'Py coder, since the command I use is nothing special and was working in previous versions!

Yes, I need to explain in the game page the differences between normal/deluxe since right now is confusing. As for your store issues I can indeed test as guest myself, going to try now!

So I completed nearly all the quests but Rowinda's, and when I get the " Go see your hometown " quest, I click on the arrow and it ends up flipping me a " don't have scene 22 " something, was this mentioned earlier? I can't really send anything now because I'm currently on the phone, cheers.

The scenario I tried:

1. I've previously bought other games from your store (but it was a couple years ago, so I don't know if you've changed stores since then).
2. I selected credit card.
3. I saw the thing about logging in and decided to check it out, not remembering that the password is different between store and forums.
4. I got an incorrect password error after trying the wrong password twice.
5. I gave up on logging in and just filled in all my credit card info. The email address I used is the same as the one I used for your older games.
6. When I clicked to purchase, I instead got a page saying a password had been sent to me, even though at this point I wasn't trying to log in.
7. Some cleartext number password was sent to my email address.
8. Clicking purchase again without logging in just sent another email to my address with the same password.
9. Logging in with the password worked, but undid half my information. (It cleared the month but left the date on the card expiration field, for example.)
10. Purchasing this time actually sent me an order confirmation, but I had to click the button twice (this might've been my trackpad, not sure).

During all this, I wasn't sure if I was buying one copy or four copies of the game from all the "purchase" clicking, but fortunately only one copy was charged.

You finished the act, the only thing you missed is the "next act not ready yet" message, although you should have seen that if you had the latest build.

Will ask BMT about the store issue, my guess is that since you failed the password two times somehow triggered the "resend password" thing. Will let them know.
And yes if you see an error at end of act 3 means you're playing an old version, but you're not missing anything

Error during the second conversation with the barkeep about the riddle.

Old version, pls update (check the version number in the error message itself, is 0.8.26)

Ran into something weird. Not sure if it's a bug but this is in Act 2 after doing Chalassa's quest and now I'm wandering around town doing some shopping and some random battles. After I'm done, I try to go back to the Arena but I'm not allowed to because my twin says that more exploration needs to be done. Am I missing something at this point?
