To answer both of your questions (sorry I'm a bit late), stat checks aren't randomised. If you failed it once, going back and trying again won't change the outcome. I believe the only charisma check in the game requires you to have more than 1 charisma, so unless you choose the options that raise it specifically you fail the check.

Reflexes used to be the name for instinct, and if I've missed a section where the stat's referred to by that name I'd love to know what it is so I can fix it, haha.

Nope! Just taking longer than intended to update :)

Certainly! Slower than I'd like to, life likes to get in the way, but I am making good progress. Watch this space, as they say...

Really liked this! Excited to see more 😄

I do believe this has been fixed, so it shouldn't appear in the next update. Thanks for the kind words!

Yes, you'll be able to transition later on in the story!

You'll just have to press the back button until you're back to the game for now, haha. I'm working on implementing an improved system for the next update!

So my initial plan was to finish whole chapters before new ones, and it still is. Chapter 2 and 3 are a special case because I've spent so long on the former that I felt the latter needed to be pushed out at some point, even if Chapter 2 isn't entirely fleshed out; it's completable in a variety of different scenarios at this point, so I felt it was viable to include Chapter 3 as many players would be able to progress to it even with an unfinished chapter before it.

Thanks for this! It's all been fixed in Twine and will be pushed out in the next update :)

You don't! My apologies if the dialogue for being more closed-off has read that way so far. I'll take a bit more care to make things seem more balanced - I've just been playing reactions up for a (currently) young MC.

There are lots of options to do it in the prologue. The second option as you find the altercation is an instant kill, as are the second and third options for the option after that (there's a lot of branching here lol). 

If you choose to talk to the guy or throw him down first, there are also options that state MC's intent to kill him. You can't kill anybody else in-game--yet.

Good to know! 😆
I'll take any feedback that comes my way. I like knowing what people think.

If you're referring to the prologue, you have a few ways of going about things, from accidentally killing him to very intentionally doing it. It was an intentional choice on my part to make those options a little bit sadistic to show off the MC's deteriorated psyche at this point in their life. 

Thank you for pointing out the error! I'll take a look at it :) 

And I'm not sure if your last part is also pointing out an error haha, but you can swear the oath earlier. To get it in that moment, though, you do have to whisper it. I might add a silent option in that scene too, for less impulsive MCs. Thank you for the feedback and praise! It means a lot.

I've found this bug and fixed it. It'll be gone in the next update :)

I'll look into this, thank you!

There's an android .apk version available for download (albeit outdated at the moment) but I don't have the files for the game publicly available to download, sorry.

That's alright. Just click this link Bladeweaver and click the 'Ask me anything' button. You should be able to simply upload the images there where I'll be able to see them. You could also DM me if you make an account :)

I believe I fixed the instance where Callen had the wrong pronouns (you go girl?) in a previous patch so that'll be why you aren't seeing that, though I'm now looking at the other places you've mentioned.

Hi, please send me some screenshots of the places you're seeing this issue in a tumblr ask at https://bladeweaver-if.tumblr.com/?source=share

I've looked all over for instances where this happened but it seems I still haven't found them all, so having some idea of where I've gone wrong would be a big help!

In various ways 💔

I wrote it all quite seriously but seeing it all explained this way cracked me up a bit, haha. I'm happy you like the game so far! I put a lot of time into the revised prologue and it's good to know that work has paid off.

That's a great idea, thank you!

Thank you for the info. I'll look into creating some themes that are more friendly for colourblindness, as I'm not entirely sure if my readable themes are, well, readable for those with it either haha

That's no problem! It was implemented a while ago. Could you say a little more about which theme you're having trouble seeing the colours of links on, as well as your type of colourblindness? I'll try and do some research to make them stand out more in a new theme.

Thanks, I'll take a look at this section before updating. I think I caught most of it before but evidently there's still some parts I didn't manage to catch. 

You can use the back buttons in the sidebar to return. I'm going to improve this system in the future, where all submenus will open in a pop-up so you can just click them away to get back to playing, but this is the temporary solution until I get around to that. Sorry!

I've just put out a fix for this. Twine likes to remove the starting point for the story sometimes, so I had to fix it. Sorry! It should be fine now.

Thanks. I'll take a look at this once I'm back! For reference, does this still happen later into the game? This can also be an issue if you haven't restarted since the last update, since I changed the names of those variables specifically. 

Hey, I've just put out a hotfix for this, though it includes a few other fixes that mean you'll need to start from the beginning. Sorry!

Thank you 😄

I thought I'd let you know I've fixed these errors and the options for the routes you've taken should (crossing all my fingers and toes) show properly, now. Sorry for the trouble you had before!

Your first bug is something I thought I'd squashed a while ago, but apparently not. Thank you!

I'd try this first to see if it doesn't fix things. I can't currently test at the moment but will be able to tomorrow.

Thanks! I've identified the issue with your second problem, but am a little confused about the first. Is this the option where you say you like to draw to him?

Thank you! 😁

I pushed out an update to fix this. Thanks for letting me know :)

Thank you, I'll fix those! I changed my tumblr name a while ago and I'd forgotten to change the links.

Thank you very much for notifying me of these! Some of the later cycling choices had slipped my mind, I've now fixed those if you wish to replay them. I've also removed the repeated text from the other scene you mentioned, but unfortunately I'm not sure what can be done about your issue with the emoji not showing - if it's any consolation, it's meant to be a magic wand haha.

Thanks for letting me know about these! Very sorry. I'll push fixes for these issues later today.

Thanks for informing me of this. I'll have a fix out later today, sorry!

Hi, apologies! I made an error in naming my passages, if you reload the page everything should be fine now. Please let me know if not!
