... Or he can just either do that once, then go straight to the lone tree on the deepest forest screen every subsequent time, or just go straight to the lone tree on the deepest forest screen.
That's true, but I figured this would make the logic behind the quest easier to understand, and also make finding the tree trivial.
To be fair, considering it's an RPGM game and I missed the Detect spell mentions somehow, I thought there would be an entity visibly moving/idling on the map
It's been so long since I last played (August 2022) that I forgot the game wasn't finished (?)
Usually, that's how it goes, but often there are puzzles or puzzle-like elements to the quests (I generally dislike pure combat content, and I didn't develop the combat system enough, so I didn't add too much of it in isolation).
The game keeps chugging along with its monthly updates, which both makes me happy (in the sense that it's doing well and I am still polishing it while having fun) and disappoints me bitterly (I really should have finished the game by now). In more than 2 years, we got a lot of new content, that's for sure.
Is there any plans for the game to be finished this year or will it still be awhile
It should be finished this year. I'll do it even if I have to cut some of the planned content, it's reaching the point where it's not healthy for the game either to keep adding stuff.
That option isn't available yet, sorry. I should probably remove it until I add it in (assuming it doesn't end on the chopping block for the 1.0 release).
Do you mean if there is a replay room? The answer is no. I didn't plan for it in the beginning, and now it's too much work to implement it properly. If you mean mechanically, inhibitions are the biggest limiting factor, but you can easily lower it by drinking. Some scenes require you to have a specific trait and there are also a few mutually exclusive paths (if you find a certain secret, it's possible to undo some of the paths, so this isn't as restrictive as it first looks).
If you just want to see the full gallery, there is a way to unlock it in the debug tool ("travel sphere" in the key items): Interact with the NPC in the bottom left corner, and he should give you the option.
I mean freedom in the game, if you can do what you want, for example doing repeated missions to level up, working, going wherever you want, etc... Or if everything is tied to the story, meaning that the more you advance in the story, the more things you unlock.
There is a fair amount of content that isn't tied to story progression (all the jobs are practically their own thing, several romances/paths are similar, etc.) however there are some things that only become available if you progress through the chapters (like becoming a noble, for example). Also, some characters or factions have stakes in certain quests, and so playing through them might provide unique encounters or scenes during those quests, depending on where your loyalty lies, so there are "incentives" to progress the story and unlock more quests (quests ARE tied to progression through the chapters).
How did the event re-trigger, exactly? After speaking with the twins at work, re-entering your house, something else? It definitely shouldn't have happened twice. Also, could you perhaps send me your savefile?
Sorry I should have mentioned how it triggered. I tried to do a dance training session with them which to my understanding is how it normally triggers. It's been a while since I last did anything with them while I did other side content.
Thanks for sending me the save file. I figured out the bug, and it will be fixed in version 0.9.22.
Awesome, glad I was able to help. I have another save elsewhere in the game with the same quest progression I can play from instead.
