Dusklight Manor Episode 9 - Released to Tier 2+

Hey everyone,

Dusklight Manor Episode 9 (also containing Episodes 1-8) is now available to Tier 2 and higher Patrons in PC, MAC and Android formats, along with the walkthroughs at this link : https://www.patreon.com/posts/tier-2-rewards-9588402 

Known issue : Saves from Episode 8 might not work, however earlier ones do work fine.  This is because some issues I had with the Android version and needed to make some changes. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The decision was made to release the update a day earlier than scheduled as I believe there is enough content and play time to wrap up this Episode. This way you can enjoy it during the weekend and not have to worry about being too busy with work.

This Episode brings new story developments, new encounters with the girls (depending on who you have a relationship with), a new face, plot twists, hot and heavy erotic scenes and more. We get to see Lizzie again so that's a big plus!

This Episode is also important because we broke a new record, the game so far has 2180+ hand crafted renders and animations. Each character was posed, lights adjusted, each camera placed with purpose and so on. That takes time and work but I think the end result is great, certainly much better than a cut-out of a character over a still and always the same background. The characters and the story deserve to come to life as much as possible and no amount of work is too much. Also, you as Patrons deserve as much as I can deliver and I never deliver an Episode that I believe is not good enough, even if that means going over the dead line.

That's all, I'll leave you to explore this Episode on your own as I will give no other spoilers.

Thank you for your support!

Have a great weekend a lot of fun playing the game.

Yes, there seems to be a problem with Episode 8 saves. Most likely because I ran into some issues while building the Android version and I had to make some changes. Earlier saves should work fine.

I ran into a bug nearly at the end of the new episode. "I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While processing text tag {/i} in u'You both start picking up flowers...{/i}'.: File "game/script.rpy", line 19613, in script n "You both start picking up flowers...{/i}" Exception: u'/i' closes a text tag that isn't open.

Sadly there was a problem with the Android version on Episode 8. I had to make some changes and I believe that's the issue that renders Episode 8 saves useless. However you can load earlier ones just fine.

Thanks, having trouble loading saves copied over though.... Maybe specifically only saves from episode8 - some older saves seems to work.
