The Pill v0.3.0
The Pill v0.3.0 available here.
It has taken a while but the next Pill update has arrived and this one is all about Trish! Our plucky new gal comes with 6 new animations, 5 new endings and over 500 new lines of dialogue.
The update is a foundation package, so it's a little rough and ready. Expect to see some story arc choices not yet available (indicated by a N/A), some animations that will be revised and the occasional potato where there should be a carrot.
In terms of compatibility, while as far as I can see there's technically nothing that will stop it from working with previous versions I'd highly recommend everyone starting a new game to avoid data corruption. If you don't and have issues my solution is likely going to be "wipe it and start over".
Let me know of any issues you folks have but otherwise enjoy this new addition to The Pill universe. Though maybe left of centre I like to think Trish adds an interesting element to the narrative as a whole.

how do I actually get this game to work? I get 3 icons, one saying game, one says icon one says signature. When I click on game I get a message saying "The application “Game” can’t be opened."
I use a Mac. Forgot that bit of information. lol
I really hope the 'i still think you can go... bigger' button works soon 🙂 amazing job
Cheers, thanks soren. That button is indeed tantalising...
By jove, he's done it again! Lightning does indeed strike twice! Or as it seems, whenever you summon it, you gem! Awesome update! Can't wait to see what's next :D
Awesome, I'm glad you liked it!
I can't see trish, when i try to star my computer shut down the game, i have this error:[0820/182711.315:ERROR:http_transport_win.cc(175)]
That's a strange one. One possibility is that while the game doesn't need a connection to the internet, it does use basically an interactive website as its basis (with javascript etc). It could be if you have a firewall it could be blocking it? For a first step I'd say try rebooting the computer and seeing if that works. If not, see if your firewall is blocking it. It might also need to be run in compatibility or admin mode.
Absolutely loving this update so far.
Thanks! Glad you like it :D
Hi, I'm on Mac and I've had trouble getting Trish's plotline to start. I select her in the character selection and simply get a black screen. It seems as if its loading, but I'm not sure.
I've come across a slow loading issue on (particularly older) macs. On my old mac mini I use to test this it often takes over a minute to boot into Belle's storyline, and I know that people are finding Trish's to be slower still. Can you still boot into Belle's story in v0.3.0? I'm looking in to why this is but in the meantime what I've found rebooting the computer sometimes works, as well as closing and relaunching the program.
Hi. I cant seem to hear the voices. Do I have to turn them on somehow?
Hi Fornax, there currently aren't any voices in there - Belle's is in the process of being recorded and will be added to the next (non-hotfix) version.
just so you know when you take the second and third pills it auto skips the text and animations on trish that is
Hey Subply - I haven't come across that issue, could you give me a couple more specifics so I can try to recreate it? With the second and third pills are you talking in the BE or milk pill line? Plus are you starting a new game or loading from an old save?
bless your soul, i say it everytime but ur fr doing god's work
Thanks Joey :)
hell yeah
