Really glad to hear you liked it! I've been hard at work on the sequel and will share more news on social media and on here when the time is right! There is definitely a lot more of Jake in it :)
I know it sucks, I have no control over it. I've e-mailt Itch super multiple times about it. Best you can do is try e-mailing them too so there's much pressure for them to do the manual check.
Happy to hear you're looking forward to the sequel! I'm hard at work on it. In terms of the length it's a tricky balance between wanting a longer game but also not making people wait too long for the release. So my aim is to make it a bit longer than the first, but not massively longer.
最新版本已经上传到所有版本中了。你可能只是看到了一个隔离（Quarantine）提示，因为 Itch 自动进行了隔离处理。 The latest version is uploaded for all builds. You might just be getting a quarantine message as Itch has automatically done that.
Really appreciate you writing out your well thought out opinions and sharing them in such a clear and detailed manner.
A lot of your feedback points are definitely things that have come up multiple times in other people's feedback and are things I am trying to work on and improve for the sequel.
I like a lot of your suggestions and I won't give any spoilers but somethings you mentioned are getting implemented in some way.
Definitely appreciate the feedback on the writing and it's something that's definitely not one of my strengths, I'm originally an artist so am more comfortable on the making pretty images side of things but I will do my best to improve the writing for the sequel.
Thank you so much for reporting this bug! Surprised no one else had mentioned it after all this time, this has now been fixed and the proper audio plays, thank you thank you for letting me know! <3
Ah that's great that you figured it out! Even if it says it's older files past the quarantine, it's actually the latest update from what I've heard from other people.
是的，这就是《Heatwave》第一部的结局。之后不会再对《Sam's Stay》进行更新了，不过我目前正在全力制作续作！ Yes that's the ending of the first installment of Heatwave, there won't be anymore updates to "Sam's Stay" but I'm currently hard at work on the sequel!
Itch has currently quarantined the update automatically but if you manage to get past it you should be able to download the update even if it says the files are from before. Apologies for the inconvenience, I've emailt Itch about it weeks ago but no response.
It is in Itch's hands, there is nothing I can do about it sorry. Others have said that if you go past the quarantine and download the files, even though it says it's the old files. You'll actually get the latest update.
It is a feature I created for the sequel and then thought I may as well port it over into 1.1. The feature will be expanded upon in the sequel but not set in stone yet in which way.
No news, I emailt Itch support but no news. Some people have said that even though it says it's the files from 3 Months ago that if you download it you actually do get the latest update. Let me know if that works. Otherwise emailing itch support might help out some more pressure.
Ah sorry for not getting seeing your message earlier but glad you figured it out. For anyone else wondering it's inside the individual achievements screen for each character (got to click on one)
The save files are typically held in two places on our computer, within the saves folder inside the main gamefolder but also in %appdata% , so you should be fine to delete the current game folder completely and unzip the new one in the same place. You can also just unzip the new folder in a different place and nothing would require deleting. Your saves should automatically show up, if they dont you can copy the saves folder over from the previous game. Hope that helps,let me know if you run into any issues.
Appreciate the feedback, and understand some of the AI voices may have been more to people's taste for certain characters and scenes. For now it is not planned to put any AI voices back in.
The Itch system automatically quarantined the update which I would guess is the cause of this issue. I've emailt Itch support but they're not the fastest to respond. You could try e-mailing Itch support as well to maybe get it resolved faster. The files are definitely there so there isn't anything I can do from my side.
This is a free update so no need to purchase again if you've previously purchased it! The files were put under automatic quarantine by Itch and I'm not sure how quickly they'lll resolve it. Some people have said if you skip past the quarantine message and download the files, even though it says they were uploaded 2 months ago that they're still the new files?
This is because Itch's system automatically quarantined the new files. I have e-mailt Itch support and hopefully they will remove the warning soon. 这是因为 Itch 的系统自动隔离了新上传的文件。我已经给 Itch 客服发了邮件，希望他们能尽快解除这个警告。
