I usually play your games on my laptop. But I tried to download the mobile version and play it on my phone. And strangely it's not compatible.. I thought it was because of my storage, but no. I think the mobile version is problematic on many devices.. I wish I could play it on my phone tho because it's simpler. But thanks for the update wolfstar. Sorry for the long yapping lol
Can someone help me? I have the following problem:
after the main character says goodbye to San after that part where he gets stuck and finds Dozer and Chuck in the bathroom, the game gives me the following error:
[code]
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

After that the game doesn't progress anymore.
Can someone help me!!!!!!
When I went to go check to see if there's an update to the game so I can clean the story and show me this and I try to every two days and it keeps showing me this and now I can't get it again I tried off the app but I can only get it off the website but they still prefer the app so I can check updates because I have problems with it when it tries to download on the website sometimes not all the time I do truly love this game
I was recently able to finish the patreon version I had, god, the quality of the visuals in the game are amazing, I'm really happy.
At the moment it's a good 4 stars on my list, however, I think it has a little “problem”.
Without going into spoilers. I love the character relationships and the scenes in Julian's mind are super fun, but I think there are times where it feels like the pacing is a bit “slow”. I mean, sometimes I feel like some things are just filler, they don't lead to anything or are just there to kill some time, conversations that are just redundant or explanations about things that don't really matter much in the plot. That there is no plot line to follow (apart from Sarge and Julian) makes everything else feel like just passing time in random activities, fun but still just that, activities without much importance.
I am aware that this is a work in progress and this could be fixed in the future. I just wanted to leave a little constructive criticism.
Congrats on all you have done. I can't wait to continue to see how Julian survives his work days hahaha.
If you have a phone with Android 14 (or higher I assume), you'll have to bypass normal installation with this guide: https://thedroidwin.com/app-not-installed-as-app-isnt-compatible-with-your-phone I used the 2nd method. I did a quick test but the vn works fine so far.
In a nutshell the latest OSs don't allow apps that are made for old Android versions. For whatever reason Android gives a vague error: "App not installed as app isn't compatible with your phone" if done by normal means.
I discovered this game recently, I'm liking the result, I hope they continue since they've been in production for almost 5 years, but one curiosity kkkk will we have hotter scenes in the future? be it from other characters, or even the main one?
But just a genuine question, do you intend to add sounds to hot scenes? Or will they just be animated scenes?
That's really a lot of dedication, I hope your goals are met lol because mine were and I'm looking forward to the future of the game, this game has been keeping me hooked for almost 2 weeks and I still haven't finished it lol I love long games like this that have an engaging story, I wish the best for you and for future updates.
Very interesting Patreon hehe
It's possible that this may be a download issue.
Something to try: restore the previous version, verify that it works, then attempt to save over the file with the new update.
Please let us know if this resolves the issue you're having. I am not well versed in APK files, and even less knowledgeable in regards to troubleshooting problems with Tablets.
The only way I can do that is go all the way back to you old old artwork file for wolfstar and I don't know about House of beef and I don't even know if that will work and I'm really sad that it's just having to do this because I hope fix a glitch a while back and wanted to know what all happened after it's been a while sorry for improper English my Google speech to text Goes Goofy a lot
copy/paste message, hope this works for you, good luck.
1) Possible issue with Google's Android operating system. To fix the “your device is not compatible with this version” error message,try clearing the Google Play Store cache, and then data. Next, restart the Google Play Store and try installing the app again. (source: People also ask "How do I fix the app isn't compatible with my phone?" on Google search )
2) Check for updates in Settings > System > Software Update to ensure your device has the latest software.(source: People also ask on Google search )
It's unfortunate, but this maybe a situation that cannot be resolved. The version of Renpy that I use to code is likely not caught up with the life cycle of apps and computer systems. There are some things you can still try:
1) Possible issue with Google's Android operating system.
To fix the “your device is not compatible with this version” error message,try clearing the Google Play Store cache, and then data. Next, restart the Google Play Store and try installing the app again.

2) Check for updates in Settings > System > Software Update to ensure your device has the latest software.
(source: People also ask on Google search )
Please let us know if either of these methods work. APK files are not my specialty at all; and I've no skills in troubleshooting anything that deals with phones.
There's a way to install the game on Android 14 phones. Make sure you have ADB installed. Here's the least bullshit guide to install ADB on Windows: https://theflutterist.medium.com/setting-up-adb-path-on-windows-android-tips-5b5...
Howlies Mig_Lscorpio,
Thank you so much for playing our game! We'll be sure to keep the free monthly content coming too! If you like what we do, you can become a patron here: https://www.patreon.com/Braford/posts
Patreon Version 1.71 update is coming soon! =3
Hi, apologies if this isn't the right place to ask this. But I tried downloading the newest update, but it wouldn't download. Whenever I tried it would give me this error message.
I really enjoy your games, but if this issue of not being able to download the game persists, I'll most likely have to stop playing and delete the game entirely. Which is something I strongly don't want to do.
Is there anything you can suggest that can help?
Howlies Ryujin,
we're sorry for any inconvenience you've experienced; apk troubleshooting is not a skill that I have. There are options to try out according to this link https://www.fonecope.com/there-was-a-problem-parsing-the-package.html
Please let us know if this resolves your issue or not.
