Or maybe he meant he's gonna face some internal conflict or something with another person? afaik FOBS is a one man project not two man, because he did faced some conflict in the making of succubus affection which he worked on disgruntledly iirc.

I played the remasterd version. I captured all the girls en got all treasures. Then I saved the game by touching the green orb. When I reopend the game, I suddenly lost all progress. The game is a masterpeice but the save system still sucks.

You probably pressed the wrong button. The second button is a "load game" button, the first one is "new game". If you're playing the March build, you likely forgot to change the language (which was the third button) on the title screen so that you could see that clearly. Your frustration is understandable, but make sure it isn't user error before you blame the game.

How should I modify the archive in this situation？

As I said in the second part, you don't. The archive is made in such a way that you literally cannot edit it without some intense tech-guru knowledge and skill. What I meant by "do the things yourself" is playing the game. Playing the game or downloading someone else's save file are your only two options. I would suggest the former since it's a really good game, but I can't stop you if you choose to not do so.

This is why I asked, because none of the solutions here nor ones that I could think of make enough sense to be worth mentioning, especially not the way it was presented to begin with.

How do you install the new March Build? The file was missing some dll files. It may be on my end. Can someone help me with the installation?

Ah, the classic GameMaker C++ issue. Not to fret, we've discussed this issue before and I posted a fairly reliable solution that should work 90% of the time.

Also, to anyone running into the dll issue, while I'm not perfectly in touch with tech to know the exact fix you might need, I was taught a bootleg fix by someone a few years ago. (If I could thank them directly again, I absolutely would, but I can't for the life of me remember what game it was that the fix was for. I think it was Buzama...?)

You must be registered to see the links

Instead of downloading the C++ files directly, what you can do is download this game above, The Legend of Jump Jump, that's also made in Pixel Game Maker MV. It will allow you to play this and any other game in PGMMV in the future, because the problem shows up in all of them if it shows up in one. When you run the installer for Jump Jump, it'll automatically check if you have the C++ files it needs to run and install/update them if it can't run. It's super useful and kinda strange how no one else has done it, but eh. It is what it is. Anyway, the files it'll install or update are the same ones needed to run any other game in the same engine, so you should never run into this specific issue again after you download it. You can safely delete Jump Jump after it has installed without losing the C++ files, but it is a fun game, so you should try it anyway.

Best of luck to all of you, and I do apologize if this no longer works somehow.

Though an important step to take before following the advice above is to find anything that looks like the stuff in the screenshot below. Any method of installing the C++ files will fall flat if you try to do so without deleting the ones you have already because the overlap will break things even more, or just cause the download to just not work overall.

i was waiting for the horror themed one until he just dropped it out of the blue

Not dropped, finished the animations for it.
Someone else is doing the coding.

Everyone else is most likely going to be a capturable monster/boss.

In the first 2 versions there were enemies that are not capturable like that red cone thing with white arms or that blue rope white tiger thing.
They were more like insta game overs so maybe there are/will be some monsters/enemies that can't be captured period; who knows?

Also, additionally, he's already added new enemies if I remember correctly, so consider that question answered.

Returning Characters:
White Bunny, Blue Slime, Ant, Mushroom, Kappa, Forest Dweller, Yamabiko (white kimono with double ears), Mashira
(also cat mage as of march builds new area teaser)

New Enemies:
Cat at gallery entrance, Short-stack/Green Harpy, Mush/Mash (I'm coining them as "Potato"!), Fenrir, Honey Bee, Orc (gate keeper), Orc (petite)

Unreleased Concepts from various debug/test builds/demos:
Sheep Plant Symbiot, Petite Tiger, Seiran (Dessert teaser area):

I'm very happy to know that this game is still alive

Revived

yes but the same thing that happened to succubus affection is going to happen to him.yes but the same thing that happened to succubus affection is going to happen to him.

While I'm also curious to know what supposedly happened to SA I'm also wondering why you said that twice in one post?

I played the remasterd version. I captured all the girls en got all treasures. Then I saved the game by touching the green orb. When I reopend the game, I suddenly lost all progress. The game is a masterpeice but the save system still sucks.

Main Menu has 3 options from top to bottom, New Game, Load/Continue, Language.
You probably just hit new game by accident.
Also saves do not carry over per version so you need to do everything over again next month.

You probably pressed the wrong button.

... ._.
afaik -_-

It just occurred to me, after looking at the title screen of FOBS again and, out of curiosity, checking the original title screen, the official title of the newer version that's being currently developed is Forest of the Blue Skin R. Which is hilarious, but I'm disappointed in myself that I managed to NEVER NOTICE THIS.

Well， thank you anyway. However, my technique isn't good enough to finish the game even following the instruction.Sometimes I can be amused by my own stupidity

Fair enough, honestly. I'll grab my save file in a little bit for you to use, but if you do genuinely want to get better, I suggest practicing against less powerful monsters to get used to how the game works and improve your fundamental skills. My first suggestion for that purpose would be the Ant Girls. They're not incredibly difficult, but memorizing their tells and preparing accordingly can help you in the long run. (Also, if you do take this route, I can give you small checklist of monsters to practice against if that helps.)

I did not make such errors, but I will try again and I will only choose English.

 

[Supreme Dumbass of Thyme]

I did not make such errors. It's the fault of the save system.

Then I'mma be real with you, that's a very unique issue. If you pressed the second button, Load Game, and couldn't load your previous save data, something messed up on your end that hasn't been an issue for a while. Could you recount the exact process you went through from saving to reopening the game?

Oké I will explain what I did in steps.

Step 1. Before I begin the game. I choose to play in English. During the game I saved quite often.
Step 2. Before closing the game I saved.
Step 3. I closed the game.
Step 4. immediately I reopend the game.
Step 5. I choose Japanese.
Step 6. I replaced the game in another folder.
Stap 7. I checked my save file and lost all my captured, items, money and achievements.

That's what happened.

Hold on a minute, why did you choose Japanese?

Edit: After asking, I did check if changing the language was the issue, but I've found nothing. I'm genuinely confused about how you lost your save. Though I guess there's the possibility that the folder it should be in doesn't exist, hence why it could not be found/read.

oh i see, so its just a matter of time when it actually gets released
tbh that one had a ""gallery"" and it was all automated so i hope that gets changed (and i also hope that ""gallery"" was a placeholder)
i remember an area where all (if not most) enemies was just standing there doing nothing, that's what im talking about
i stopped bothering eventually because i was just spoiling myself before the thing was even out

 

[Slade_Wills]

is there no next area other than forest? entrance is blocked by a wolf girl i think

 

[a+amvort]

Someone got an Idea for functional software that could extract animations of the old shiro no yakata and the new FOBS ? I remember someone redoing a shiro no yakata animation but he/she deletes his mega folder with

What happened to Succubus Affection? And why are you so sure it'll happen again when Zell wasn't even the dev for that one? (He was the artist, but all the coding was someone else's doing.)

I mean that in the end it will be "forgotten", it will not be possible to revive it due to lack of content or mods will not be able to be created, but the game is still in progress so maybe everything I say will not come true (hopefully)

 

[XThe_josh]

what? but wasn't succubus affection already complete?

Yes, but if it weren't for the fact that they are going to make a sequel, the game would be more dead than I know why in that game you can't do anything else when it's finished and you can't create mods for that game either.

I mean, I guess? The game is still highly regarded even without mods being made for it. It's completely finished, so it doesn't necessarily need to be alive. If FOBS gets the same treatment, sure, it'll sting, but it'll still be a solid, complete experience either way.
