The Pill 0.4.8.1 Quick Fix

Quick update: I've tweaked the game very minorly, as my hope with "Have hopefully address an issue of an additional Luca appearing after the "All Aboard" and "Succubus" ending" sadly wasn't working for some people. 

While the commands were technically correct I believe the game engine was getting confused, so have implemented another way to solve that. If you've already played through these endings don't worry about the re-download unless you intend to play them again in the near future.

Downloads links have been replaced below.

One other thing I'm looking into is a patching server, so hopefully in the future these minor changes won't require a whole re-download.

-----

Hey all, thanks for all your feedback over the last day, I've compiled a bunch of bug fixes and repackaged the game. Unfortunately because I'm updating some asset files I've had to include the full package even though the changes are minor. So apologies for the download size.

For the android build, I have reduced the file size (<1gb) and pulled a smaller texture encoding for the vids and materials. Unlike the last one, this one properly works on my phone but as always with this version, your results may vary)

PC | Mac | Android (Experimental)

Full Quick Fix updates:

  • Fixed Luca endings not showing up on second time playthroughs

  • Made game compatible for different resolutions. In theory should now work with most resolutions without becoming unplayable, but I have specifically tested 16:10 and 21:9.

  • Updated the character select and gallery pages, just part of a slower UI graphic revamp.

  • Re-encoded Android version differently. As stated above, the new version is smaller but if it wasn't loading at all before it may still not work on your system.

  • Replaced an image in Party chapter that was clipping. (The blueberry leaking one).

  • Addressed an issue that would on ultrawide monitors have the sides of the background present when vids play

  • Have hopefully address an issue of an additional Luca appearing after the "All Aboard" and "Succubus" ending.

Let me know how you all go and if there are any continuing issues you come across.

How do I get the breaking boob achievement in the Luca chapter?

SPOILER WARNING to get here you have to keep telling her to go to the doctor after taking a vitality pill. She'll resist but eventually it'll trigger that reward for you.

On Android the expansion scenes a bugging out where the screen goes all staticy and does show the expansion happening! Please Fix!

B
B.E. Grove · November 3, 2022

Heya unfortunately this is why it is labelled as experimental, specifically for the videos bugging out on certain android devices (but not all of them). It's a systemic problem but I am lookin into it.

No problems here. Love the game/updates. Thanks from me and I'm sure all the fans 😀

Tristan McKenzie O'Meara · June 28, 2022

So, I can start up the game just fine. But pressing anything other than the Options or exiting the menu causes the game to straight up crash on my end. I can't look at my achievements, I can't load an existing game, and I can't start a new game. I dunno what to do.

What platform are you trying the game on?

Trying to play on Android. Galaxy s21 ultra. None of the videos work

Will this ever be available to play on IOS

B
B.E. Grove · May 16, 2022

Hi Mason. It is unlikely. Apple have a closed ecosystem and do not allow unregistered programs to run on iOS. They also have a policy of no adult material in registered programs. In short, it is unlikely The Pill, nor any other overtly erotic game will ever be on iOS unless they have a massive content policy change.

Great animations and I’ve had a good time playing, though I still have 2 achievements I’m missing. I think they are both in the Luca chapter they’re called “quite full” and the totemic ending. I’m not sure what I haven’t tried as all the options I’m seeing already have a check next to them.

B
B.E. Grove · March 30, 2022

Glad you enjoyed it. Both of those achievements relate to taking charisma pills then a vitality one. Can't remember the number of each off the top of my head. Good luck!

gwap23 · March 19, 2022

I like how you put in a fix for the "All Aboard" and "Succubus" endings, and those are the two that I cannot find! I feel like I might be missing a trick somewhere.

B
B.E. Grove · March 24, 2022

Sorry for the slow reply. Both of these are related to taking two vitality pills and then either a power or charisma one. Good luck!

Hello, I'm using a Samsung S21 and when I launch the app, it starts in a screen resolution much bigger than what I'm using, and I cannot find an option to resize it. It's pretty much unplayable for me :(

S
Sizehound · February 26, 2022

Also the 4.8.1 release works really well now on widescreen monitors. It should be noted for the achievements page it would be better if you grouped them by the character as its confusing on what is and what is not ending wise included.

B
B.E. Grove · February 27, 2022

The rewards have been added in chronological order, so the first bunch are Belle, the second Trish, the third are from The Party and the last batch are Luca. Though I agree it would be more clear if I further separated them out into individual pages. I'll make a note for that in a future patch. In the last batch section of Luca, what is the name of the achievement you haven't got for the 15th ending?

S
Sizehound · February 26, 2022

I'm having trouble finding the 15th ending. I went through each choice many times and all of the boxes are checked. What am I missing.

I'm having problems getting it to install... Again

B.E. Grove · February 27, 2022

I'm assuming this is on android? Are you getting an error or any sort of feedback when it won't install?

GKMoritz · February 24, 2022

Hey, is there an option to play in windowed mode or turn down the resolution (as i have a 4K Monitor and everything gets rather small on it) or any graphics/display options (Such as switching to the second display in full screen mode) ? I can not find anything like that but it would be cool and helpfull to have some of these options :)

B
B.E. Grove · February 27, 2022

You should be able to swap to window mode by pressing alt+enter on PC. You can also swap to another window doing this (you might need to restart afterwards to get the aspect ratio correct).

Bowser · February 24, 2022

It seems on the achievement page Luca’s section plays the giantess ending for several different endings

B
B.E. Grove · February 27, 2022

The giantess animation is the result of a couple of different paths (a bit like the portal endings). Are the animations you're viewing identical, or does she start slightly differently? And also what are the names of the animations?

Matilo · February 23, 2022

Everything about it is perfect and I love it. My only issues is that on mobile all cutscenes are just a black screen. Is it normal or maybe it's just my phone?

B
B.E. Grove · February 24, 2022

Yeah the videos on mobile have always been an issue, as the engine I use is a bit iffy when it comes to mobiles. I'm looking into a different type of video player, but haven't had a huge amount of luck so far.

androidspud · February 23, 2022

mostly fine for me on PC. sometimes after i load a save it shows the load save screen while video plays but i still hear the audio? . struggling to get the origin story and hourglass achievments

B
B.E. Grove · February 24, 2022

Yeah the loading screen is unfortunately a know issue, a re-boot of the program should solve that one. I'll fix that as part of a larger game update as it involves reformatting how the chapters work. The 'Origin story' ending relates to the power pill - taking two then stopping her from taking any more. The hourglass relates to an animation that plays after 1 vitality and 1 charisma.

TheMartianKing · February 23, 2022

Hats off to you as always god-king!!! I'm sure you can guess my favourite of the new endings lol I mean, the T&A helium combo?! How could it not be?! It is singlehandedly the best helium expansion animation I've ever seen man. Got all the floaty bits down so fluidly and her being lifted off by both buns and boobers was absolutely perfect! And I must say, I am loving the shrinking additions more and more! Amazing variety and the humour and easter eggs were fantastic! Can't wait to see what happens in the next installment! Also, couldn't get the juicy wobbler to pop for the life of me lol

B
B.E. Grove · February 27, 2022

Thanks TMK, glad you enjoyed the new additions ;)

Allan Ellsworth · February 23, 2022

it works great for me, except theres still a few achievements i cant get and ive tried everything

B
B.E. Grove · February 23, 2022

Which are the achievements?

A
Anthony Favoroso · February 23, 2022

My game still has no audio

B
B.E. Grove · February 23, 2022

It's possible to change the audio within the game itself - have you checked the in-game audio levels? (Options on the title screen or hit 'escape' in the game itself).

Im having a weird issue, my Mega.nz wont open in browser. Does anyone have fix for this?

I know that mega.nz is blocked in a few countries, which country are you accessing from?

norbert_beaver1 · February 22, 2022

this was the closest i got to success. but: not installed, or trouble parsing. i got so close, but: the android version for me doesnt work, not then, not now. i guess ill wait til the next update, perhaps an even smaller android download size

B
B.E. Grove · February 23, 2022

Sorry to hear that - what version of android are you using? And on what device?

N
Nah Sorry · February 22, 2022

Good job getting this out so fast, and I understand how different android devices can cause problems, however the issues have persisted for me in not being able to open the luca chapter without crashing or if I do, it crashes soon after.

B
B.E. Grove · February 23, 2022

Very strange that it only happens on the Luca chapter. It may be the pure size. One of the things I'm going to update in the future is have the levels load in pieces rather than all at once, which may help. What version/model of Android are you using?

C
Cheesewheel · February 22, 2022

So i have an issue on my samsung s21. All the animations are getting this weird static with 2 black lines across the screen but the animation plays behind it

B
B.E. Grove · February 23, 2022

Does this happen in the gallery as well as the chapters?
