This is a pesky bug that has been popping up that we haven't been able to solve yet. Apparently, on that empty screen, the choices ARE there, just invisible. (try clicking in the blank space and see if you can get to the ending). I am assuming it's a video driver issue. But I am unsure, I'm still trying to figure out what's causing it. I am sorry you are stuck. But thanks for the info. I'm going to try some more possible fixes for the next patch.
I've been trying to play through the new update and try out the romances, but I keep running into so many errors its almost unplayable for me. :( Is anyone else experiencing any errors?
For me, it seems to start early in the game around week 4 or so when some of my stats glitch to be super high. (Composure usually, but it also happened on Endurance). I didn't mind this at first and actually thought it was a bit helpful (lol) but then later in the game around week 7 or 8 (after I've chosen the romance path) it gets to a point where it will not load the next scene. I've tried loading from an old save, completely restarting pc and starting from an older save, and still it will get stuck. It was different points on the 2 routes I've tried.
I was able to play through the Arien route, but I had to completely start over after week 9. I'd thought maybe the old save files from the original build were causing the issue so I deleted the saves in my program files, and that's when I was able to beat the Arien route, but then as I tried to play through Grey's route it happened again. Any advice is welcome!
I came here for the same reason! After a certain point, the game became unplayable for me. The biggest problem is, as you said, the game refusing to load the next scene - the screen turns black, and even the roll-back option doesn't help. Every time I try loading a previous save, the game keeps being unresponsive. The same happens when I try tosave whenever I get the feeling the glitches are coming - suddenly I can't save, the UI stops working, and I have to close the game altogether. I read somewhere that the chosen electives might have something to do with this, but the game kept not working even when I changed them.
I'm glad you mentioned that! I forgot to mention the saves would glitch too so I couldn't use them. Yeah, I played completely differently stats wise for the 2 routes I tried and they both glitched like crazy. I also tried downloading and playing from both the app and from my docs folder. Same issues. :(
Hello! The initial stat glitch happened in about week 4 in my first playthrough, and in the second it somehow happened before the first meeting with the council. (I remember bc the council commented on it, and that's when I noticed the huge jump in Endurance points)
The black screen glitch was around chapter 9 I believe (when the MC ends up in the infirmary) and bc I spent so long trying to fix this one I know the next scene was supposed to be Arien mind blasting the boys bullying the MC. In Grey's route I never got to continue past the black screen, but I believe it was around week 7? I had definitely chosen him as the LI and had already done the hang out in the Autumn courtyard after the threatening note. These glitches are unique to this version, I played through Arien and Kai's route with no issues in the original. If I can help more, please let me know!
Forewarning I have just started the game and am only just completing the first convo with the headmaster but my only gripe so far is that it feels like the mc just accepts getting spirited away from their life like way too easily. Don't get me wrong, I get told I can do magic i'm down no matter what but ya know, could've had a whole life going on. However if this changes or there are options to voice issues with it further in the game then just disregard this comment :).
Hi there! The game is fully completed as of now. The new features that are coming are extras earned through the Kickstarter and requests from our players. And yes, those updates are still being worked on! It's taking a bit longer than planned, but it's still in the works!
Of course, you are welcome to wait for the new updates if you'd like, but the game is fully playable from beginning to end right now.
For those with Mac: I fixed the issue by moving application to Applications folder, then opened Terminal and put in code:
chmod +x /Applications/Mac.app/Contents/MacOS/TheRadiants
Then tried to run game, and it worked! <:D
I adore this game, the art, plot, and characters are very well done. My only complaint is the occasional glitch. For example, at/after week 9 if i try to choose astronomy as my elective it will say i chose it but when its actually time for it, it gives me zoology. Another instance of errors would be the backgrounds being slow to change with whats going on, I had finished one thing and it automatically said i moved to a different area (which is normal and fine) but the background didnt change with it. My last 2 concerns are a.) even after solidifying who was "most important to me" the game still gave me a singular scene with a different RO (the scene where Arien kisses MCs forehead after defending her) even though i was most certainly with a different character, & b.) at the end when i have to choose my path the game just freezes and i dont get to see the very end of the game (im referring to the last council testing/meeting). I love the game though, Greys my favorite :)
Hihi! I LOVE this game, and I've played it through twice now and am in the middle of my third playthrough. (Arien is my favorite, I love him so much, it's hard to try to romance the others). I HAVE discovered the console but none of the commands - any chance of those getting released for those of us who've played through a few times and want to be the most boss Oracle the whole way through when playing a Release Stress playthrough?
Hi! Try the solution here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1566070/discussions/0/3800526843213036679/
And let me know if that works!
Not bad, but kinda hurt my eyes with the sizing, the constant shifting of where the text would go. It's alot to take in.
Also I think the game suffered alot by choosing to be a management sim. I spent alot more time going through the management aspects than reading about the characters I was supposed to be invested in. It also didn't help that by the end i found out that the key really is to just spend all your time on one of the 4 categories so it felt like alot of bloat tbh.
I can say though I'm happy to see Dex as a future route because he was the most interesting character.
Wow - I love the game. Finally a game where I really like the genre -) Do you consider on adding VA, if the selling of the game goes well? Even if its only with "Sounds". I think it would add a lot the game. I kinda missed that. But even so, I enjoyed it very much and I am excited about the new routes. Thanks for releasing such a great game.
I really enjoyed this game. The art, characters and story are all incredible! I have a small question, I saw that it was planned in a future update to have a route for the headmaster I was wondering if you have an estimate date for the release of this route? I'm so excited to find out about the headmaster's route, I think he's one of my favorite characters.
