Hey everyone,

I just updated itch with the new release. I play-tested it all day long, and, while I'm pretty sure most of the game-breaking bugs are corrected, I'm nearly certain I'll have to release an hotfix in the next few days. The game is gaining deepness and complexity, and, while it's a good thing, it also mean I cannot expect to detect every bug alone. 

On another note, I'm pretty happy with the result from afar,it match what I viewed as a level. But I'm pretty sad about the level of polish. As always, I would have liked to make a better job at polishing every nook and cranny, but it's simply too time consuming. I could have spent at least one more month just polishing and adding details. 

I also hope I got the balance right. The level is pretty long, I wouldn't say challenging (because the AI is quite stupid for now, that's another subject) but it can take a long time to figure out how to progress. I'll be very interested on feedbacks on that point. 

As usual,you can find the latest build at the usual link on itch (https://abdlsparrow.itch.io/the-pacifier-project-minor-releases/patreon-access ).

And here's the changelog :

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Technical:

Improved the scene loading. Run the game in low setting before getting to an heavy area (school, hsopital) to ensure it fully load.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Know bugs and issues:

The orthopedic door might not open when you push the button the first time. I didn't found the root cause but for what I've tested, clicking the button twice always work. So remember to double tap that button when you get there, it will save you some time!

See this link to look at the bug list. Remember to go here if you're unsure on how to report a bug.


So that's it ! I'll say it again, due to the complexity of the build, I'm expecting to release an hotfix in the following days. After that I'll get back to work ! The next update will put an end to the diaper secret club, and that'll be far lighter. I'll aim to release it for christmas, along with some other small things. 

Have fun with it !

Hoshioni

ABDLSwallow

The ceiling skill should be pretty low,don’t worry. Wanted to try something a bit different,if this is too hard I’ll adjust it.

Hoshioni

i did the spooky house where do i go from there? also is there a discord or wiki

ABDLSwallow

If you accepted his help,go meet with Jason in your house’s back room. He will lead you from there.

but how to i get in the back room there's boxes blocking the key

ABDLSwallow

In the mansion,you have a semi hidden room where you can find an item required to push crates.

cool update, love the atmosphere the hospital wards gave. and playing through the level was pretty straightforward and fun. my only issue was performance my fps tanked when i entered the hospital.

john n

also if you load a save when your in the hospital you get spawned underneath it

ABDLSwallow

Indeed, this is an issue. I'm still working on optimisation to try to free some memory. Did you try putting the graphical setting in very low?

john n

Yes it gets a little better and it's certain areas worse than others the green lab area was one of the worse

ABDLSwallow

Yes, this is because there's a lot of flickering lights. I'll look into ways to optimize it.

john n

Also love the the ddr mini game I would love to see more mini games like these adds a lot of fun

Raven Night

Three questions, first is there any way to start the hospital stage without doing the hunted house first? Second, where do you find the scissors to open up the clothing store? Third, where do you find briefcase for the guy next to the supermarket?

john n

1. you need the purple vial which you get at the end of the haunted house to start the new area. 2. you find the scissors in the haunted house. 3 briefcase is near the playground area near your house you do need the push ability to get to it

Raven Night

thanks for that, also someone in the neighborhood says there are looking for a watch where is that and do I need to find it for the hunted house or is it not required, finally where do you get the push ability?

john n

Hmm I don't know where the watch is sorry. The push ability is in the haunted house, once you get past the 3 ghosts that ask you questions there is a switch hit the switch and travel back the switch has opened a room

ABDLSwallow

The watch is behind a tree near the pond. It’s totally optional,don’t worry.
