Hey Panda, not that I don't trust your AVN Seal of Verification but I need a version that won't trigger Microsoft Defender. My PC and I have been through a lot of hacks from clicking "Run anyway".
That message is completely normal for any indie game or (A)VN. Windows shows it whenever an .exe isn't signed with an expensive code-signing certificate, so it labels the creator as "Unknown Publisher".
You basically need to trust the developer you downloaded it from, which is why leaked or early-release builds from random websites can be risky. Sadly it is very easy for someone to inject bad stuff into an .exe. If you grabbed the game from my official itch, Patreon or Substar pages, it's 100% the clean, original build from me, which is safe.
Adding an official publisher signature would require a yearly certificate that costs up to 500€, and for a small solo dev like me that's just not realistic.
TLDR: Don't worry, the warning is expected, harmless, and simply Windows being overprotective (at least for my game). Thank you for checking to be safe!
You're the first person to actually give me useful insight on this. Thank you Panda. Wish more creators were as honest as you. I'll give you and your game a shot.
Сохранения не пропадут, если у вас всё ещё установлено приложение (на Android) или вы не переустанавливали систему на ПК. Вы сможете продолжить игру с конца 3 главы!
aight, im actually speechless, the story? AMAZING, thr characters? GREAT, like i was js looking for games to get off to, then got hooked with the title and the overview, hell i even skipped some sexual scenes, i finished it in like 3 hours i think, fav characters are the Twins and Jade, not alot ik, but im really picky with stuff like that, plus im also not rly into milfs.
i have some questions tho
1.) When MC had sexual interactions with Naomi, he always thinks its a dream and forgets abt it afterwards, is that due to his concussion or is it smth else in the future chapters?
2.) Are we able to choose our love interest?(even so id still choose Lucy ngl) or do u plan on not adding dating mechanics?
Happy to hear that you enjoyed it so far, thank you very much! You skipped sex scenes, that's a first one for sure! :D
Lemme ask your questions: 1. When you talk with Naomi later and she doesn't mention anything, then it was actually just a dream. (Not sure if you dislike spoilers, so let's keep it at that)
2. You'll be able to choose whoever you want in your final harem. Not sure how much branching this will require in the end, but if you lose one path with a girl, they're out. It is a basically harem by choice. Actual dating with LI depends on their personality, some chars totally want to go on dates while others might not be interested in those things and more into actual using time for... things.
Mhm, then they didn't forget about it. It was mentioned in Chapter 2 and she also reacts differently to him in Chapter 3! Dominant route is basically the route where you had sex.
Seeing that some other big games are about to release in December/January, I'll put my game behind them since I'm also just half-way with the rendering process as you can see in my dev logs :) It will definitely take some time since I also have quite some stuff going on irl at the moment. I can only continue to give it my best.
Hey guys um... new to this but it won't open once downloaded for the Mac version. I tried a while ago but it refuses to run. I have downloaded it and extracted it but it still won't run. When I look at the toolbar it looks like it simply appears and disappears almost like it closed itself.
Great game, I have so many good things to say about this game, the visuals, the characters, the story, it's all incredibly appealing and makes this game great, that clicker thing is really cool, I was amazed and incredibly amazed to notice how much Panda amazes you with attention to even the smallest details, not to mention you can turn functions on and off in the phone's notification shade. I really like the main character's personality, the game has a lot of funny moments, cool inserts and references, and Panda, I've never seen so many development logs with thoughts and ideas for a future update for a game. This shows how respectful the developer is to the fans of his game and allows them to stay up to date with all the work, and also demonstrates how important the game is to the developer himself and how involved he is. Thank you Panda for all your hard work, I'm looking forward to the next chapter with incredible impatience. P.S. It may have turned out to be too extensive, but I wanted to show the full range of feelings I experienced from the game and, in general, don't judge me too harshly, I used a translator for this.
Hey there, don't worry about it, it's perfectly understandable! Thank you, I'm happy to hear that you enjoy the game so far! I'm adding more details and everything to make the world feel more alive and realistic. Otherwise it wouldn't just feel right to me! Since the development takes long it's also only natural to keep everyone who's interested up to date :) Sharing my current struggles, the process and everything with the players is something I like to do. I'm giving it my best, so you guys can enjoy the next Chapter as well! :D
oe mano, pero mi pregunta es que si el persona o mejor dicho el protagonista que tiene algún poder para una futura historia o son visiones, pero si está demasiado buena ya no puedo esperar para ver como quedo
Looks great and the story thus far is pretty interesting. I was just wondering if you did the models entirely yourself or if you started with a base model and worked from there?
Also curious what programs you use in your development pipeline.
Thank you! Everyone starts with a base model and we've to work from there, but the variety of characters shows how much you can achieve even with a base model.
I use a lot of programs, for example renpy, vsc, photoshop, neo v2 and something like notepad++, command line, even visual studio 2022 for developing the translation tool.
Thank you very much for the overview of your programs! How would you recommend someone begin their learning path as compared with how you started your foray into development?
Thanks for answering him Scarlett! :D Exactly what I'd have written as well, working hard on it, also depending on releases of other games, I'll try to not intervene with other big game's release time frames.
Termine el capitulo 3 anoche.. Solo puedo decir que tiene muy buena pinta y me encanta la idea de ver el desarrollo de personajes, De momento la idea mia es seguir la Ruta de Anya, aunque estoy curioso de saber si cada final de capitulo tiene diferente final segun la ruta de cada personaje, así que en breves creare un save nuevo para comprobarlo,
La historia tiene una pinta muy interesante me da curiosidad saber que le paso a Lilith, Espero que la historia no se vaya por el lado de violacion y/o prostitucion.. es algo que no lo veo como para un juego por mas +18 que sea el juego, pero fuera de eso lo que hay hasta el momento esta bueno y si es recomendable,
¡Gracias! ¡Me alegra que te esté gustando hasta ahora! No habrá ningún tipo de violación ni prostitución de ningún personaje romántico en mi juego, no te preocupes por eso. Estoy trabajando duro en el Capítulo 4, ¡mantente atento a los dev logs para más información!
Hey, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what, but whenever I load my save I am missing all the phone backgrounds I unlocked in previous play sessions. Is there a way to fix this? I don't play in the browser if that means anything.
Hey, that's a rather interesting bug. Usually your unlocked phone backgrounds are saved in the persistent file. Someone had that issue before because they were missing permissions to write to said persistent file. Can you check the folder "%appdata%/Renpy/BetweenHumanity-1679746291" if there are files and if the persistent file is maybe like 500+ KB in size.
Exactly, there should be all the stored variables. What size is the file? And are your save games stored at that spot too?
When windows has trouble saving anything at that location, then it would explain why you won't have unlocked phone background except the custom and default ones.
Did you by chance exported it from the web build? I noticed that sometimes the export function gets interrupted and doesn't export everything. 25kb for the persistent file is way to small, it should be at least 100+kb
hello, i have reached chapter 3 at end and saved because it say to save, then i redownloaded it and kept my save file, then i continue to load but then its only chapter 3 it ended i could not do chapter 4, what to do?
Hi! Thank you very much, happy to hear! :) Very nice that the Spanish translation works well, my efforts in making a translation tool seem to have been worth it!
I just downloaded the game and I’m really enjoying it so far. However, I was wondering if it might be a mistake that the French translation is labeled as humain ? Because, without wanting to be rude or downplay the person’s effort, I can guarantee it’s not natural French. There are basic phrasing, wrong word, verb tense error and linking errors that strongly resemble Google Translate from English to French or a poor AI translation, it’s immediately noticeable to a native French speaker. I find it more enjoyable to play directly in English , again sorry if I appeared rude.
Hey, happy to hear that you enjoyed it so far! The french translation was actually done by people, no AI. Was it noticeable in every Chapter or only in Chapter 3? Pointing out that a translation isn't correct, is not rude in my opinion so don't worry. :) I'll look into it later.
I played the first part of the game in French but switched to English because it was smother to read so i can't really talk to much about chapter 3 but the French version often felt a bit unnatural sentences were sometimes oddly structured, words were out of order, and the mix of formal and informal language didn’t sound right. It had that “Google Translate” vibe, even though the meaning was still perfectly understanble
first in the optional briefing at the very beginning, and at one point a whole word seemed to be missing (I’d have to reread the chapter to be sure). I did saw similar issues in the other chapter while taking a quick look , but those parts "problem" felt more like literal, word-for-word translations from English to french.
The issue is just the phrasing , sometimes it sounds strange or slightly off but maybe it's just that i am to strict in my style. Anyway thanks for the reply, looking forward to seeing what you do next
It's the same for some other languages, hence why I only work on the English main language :D makes it easier overall.
I forwarded it to the translator, let's see if there will be any changes or not, can't really promise anything here, except overhauling it with AI. Hire a company to fix it costs way too much for the amount of people who would use the translation in the end.
Hi! Between Humanity has got to be one of the most fun games I have played recently! I love that its not just porn, and the mystery of Lilith really tickles my fancy. Theres no doubt ill be coming back. Every. Single. Update. I also really liked the fact that you can only decide you want to fuck Naomi in real life on the second playthrough (or maybe my game just glitched lol) and Im curious as to whether this function will be in future updates? I alo reallyyyyy love Anya and Amber. Anyway, lots of love, and I'll deffinately support you on patreon as soon as i have some money <3
edit: kind of strange. i was on my third playthrough cuz i wanted to see if there were more options, and it didnt let me choose "Fuck yeah!" for Naomi... is there a prerequisite to say yes?
Hey there! Happy to hear that you enjoyed it so far! Yeah, I try to tell a story and add the adult elements where I see them fit, that's more to my liking. You don't need to play a game to watch porn :D but finding story intensive games with adult elements is kind of rare imo. The Naomi choice has prerequisites, yes. You need to flirt with her in the early game stages to achieve that, otherwise she won't accept your advances (as solved in Chapter 2). Always glad to receive support, so I could maybe one day invest more time into the game beside working on my day job every day, so appreciate it, thank you! :)
Hi, I played Between Humanity for the first time last week and love it. My favourite characters are Anya, Amber, Naomi, Jane and Claire. I have a question and hope it happens: Is there a scene in Chapter 4 where you fuck Claire and fuck Jane? I find both of them incredibly hot and just the idea alone turns me on, especially when you look at their relationships with my avatar. I would also love it if you could fuck Amber and Anya.
Hey there, happy to hear that you love it so far! I keep the story rather realistic and since Jane and Claire don't even know each other, that would be rather impossible to pull of, even though MC doesn't even have come close enough to any of them to go that far with both :P You'll have to wait for a couple more chapters for those things to happen.
Ah gotcha, I won't spoil the game's future contents though, sorry :)
I can't say yet, since even I didn't play through all four chapters yet, I'm still working on the renders for 0.4. But I would say Chapter 1 to 3 takes roughly between 5-10 hours, highly depending on your reading speed. If you skip through parts it will obviously be faster, but if you read everything it's a nice long ride.
Hey! I have an idea for a scene with Claire: The next time they go swimming and she showers in the boys bathroom, the MC doesn't leave, but goes into the changing room with her and starts fucking Claire. She's completely surprised but doesn't mind, because she wants it anyway. And that way, not only does a teacher-student relationship develop, but also a sexual relationship. And then the two of them always have sex after swimming or maybe even after class. Of course, the whole thing could also happen between Jane and the MC.
Hi! Sounds not like something Claire would easily do, I tend to keep my novel semi-realistic, so a teacher-student relationship is by default permitted and Claire wouldn't dare to approach something like that at all. Either they need to get to know each other better for it to happen naturally or something unexpected needs to happen, who knows. :) But don't worry, something is planned for sure, since Claire is a LI and therefore there will be a relationship at some point! ;)
hey i played the web version, and exported a save file to continue on after i left because i decided it was worth downloading (great game so far btw props to you!!), and i was wondering how to import the saves into my newly downloaded game?
Hey! Happy to hear, thank you very much!! I quickly copied this from my Discord servers FAQ:
• To get your save games from the web version to the pc or android version, you need to first export the saves from the web build by clicking on the three lines at the top left corner. Once downloaded, you need to extract them into the following folder (for PC: %appdata%\RenPy\BetweenHumanity-1679746291 | for Android: /Android/data/com.dbpanda.betweenhumanity/files/game/saves). If you have troubles reaching the saves location on android, I use Cx file explorer to navigate to the location.
hey there thanks for the awesome and quick response!! amazing to see how devoted you are to this im very glad to see! sorry i am on mac rn so how would that work for mac? apologies if im slow also im not in the discord thats why. sincere apologies and my greatest thanks :)
hey sorry again but i dropped the save file i extracted into the BetweenHumanity file and it still didnt load in my saves. was this the right place to put it?
in my downloads, i have the game which i extracted, i put the save file inside the game file, but it doesnt work. am i doing something wrong? sorry 💔
How do I open the menu. I’m on phone and after the start of the tutorial the menu button disappeared. I was able to save in a phone call but that was it
Did you try to restart the game and check if the buttons are back? I have no clue why they would be gone. I do have a button on the bottom to hide the ui, but once you touch the screen, they should come back as usual.
can anyone send me the discord link in dms? (yes i’m from iOS), my username is crash_tv, btw just finished the game and it was amazing, please make the 0.4 i can’t wait!
Hey! Beyond Humanity is a SFW prototype version, if enough interest is shown, I'll try to add the additional chapters which already have been released for Between Humanity, but obviously remove any NSFW parts. It's the same story, a prequel to Between Humanity might be a bit too boring for most, since it would only/mostly be slice of life.
Ohh okay I see I see. Yeah, I remember now. I respect tf out of you doing what you can to reduce AI usage. I don't necessarily hate AI, but it's good to avoid it when you can. Especially nowadays where it's absolutely everywhere. Thank you for fighting the good fight, Panda 👍
It would just cost too much to get custom made Pandalorian pictures for the amount of time I displayed them and I didn't want to not show something on the screen, but I understand people who dislike it, since some rely on their creative jobs.
Ohh okay, I see I see, (man I gotta get a less repetitive intro 💀) That makes sense. I'd rather see AI than nothing at all, lol. Even still, I'm glad you're slowly trying to replace the AI with, well, not AI.
Hey there, thank you! For the AI topic, I could add an AI toggle to just display black images on the screen instead? It was used for a couple of TV images, Pandalorian for example, since that doesn't really exist anywhere to download it from. :D
Other than that, I reduced the amount of AI usage after 0.2, so in 0.3, I don't think there is any? Up to this point 99% of the renders and the music are made without ai (as far as I can tell), though.
Ah, that makes sense why I'm only seeing it now, lol. That's really cool! AVNs are spreading to Newgrounds! Hope BH becomes just as successful on there, too!
Oh damn... I hadn't thought about that aspect. But that's true. Damn...
Well, I'm guessing then you're either gonna release chapter 4 in November or January, because I'm 90% sure Eternum 0.9 and (possibly) MBiML chapter 2 are both set for December releases. Eternum 0.9 most likely, MBiML I'm just guessing. But, that's where it seems to be headed. So, I'm guessing then BH is gonna be not in December?
I'll probably not finish the current scope in November, just not enough time every day after I'm done with my main job. If most other games release in December, then I'm doing for a January release. It's still quite a bit of animation work as well, which is the most difficult work.
Thinking about replaying this game. It's been a bit, hasn't it? I gotta refresh my memory before chapter 4 comes out! I can't wait to see my boy Mike again! I'm overdue for solid replays of a good few AVNs, actually. 😅
Oh also to DebatingPanda, sorry I stopped commenting here and shit. I mean, I know it doesn't matter, but, I just feel like a dick after talking all the time about how much I love this game, and then going silent on it. I had real reasons for not being as active as I used to be, but I still feel bad. So, I'm sorry. If it's cool I wanna start being more active on this page again!
this is gonna make me look really stupid if you reply and it turns out you dont even remember me lmaooooo
Thanks for understanding! It's a huge weight off my shoulders. Truly.
And yeah, it is good to replay, so that's what I'll do, haha. Thanks! And take your time with chapter 4! Don't rush it or push yourself too hard. We're a patient people. :)

非常感谢！以后我会想办法加上这些功能的！
Unknown publisher. Please release a verified version.
Unknown publisher? Impossible. I, DebatingPanda of the Pandalorian Order, hereby bless this build with the ancient AVN Seal of Verification™. Done.
Hey Panda, not that I don't trust your AVN Seal of Verification but I need a version that won't trigger Microsoft Defender. My PC and I have been through a lot of hacks from clicking "Run anyway".

You're welcome, I hope you enjoy it! :)
И у меня есть вопрос после выходя следующей главы придётся начинать заново или можно будет продолжить дальше и еще пропадут ли сохранения
Сохранения не пропадут, если у вас всё ещё установлено приложение (на Android) или вы не переустанавливали систему на ПК. Вы сможете продолжить игру с конца 3 главы!
Здравствуйте я хочу пожелать вам удачи , сил, терпения, чтобы не что не ломалось ,чтобы все получилось как вы хотели
Спасибо большое! Мне очень приятно. Спасибо за ваши пожелания, пусть у вас тоже всё получается так, как вы хотите.
aight, im actually speechless, the story? AMAZING, thr characters? GREAT, like i was js looking for games to get off to, then got hooked with the title and the overview, hell i even skipped some sexual scenes, i finished it in like 3 hours i think, fav characters are the Twins and Jade, not alot ik, but im really picky with stuff like that, plus im also not rly into milfs.
i have some questions tho
1.) When MC had sexual interactions with Naomi, he always thinks its a dream and forgets abt it afterwards, is that due to his concussion or is it smth else in the future chapters?
2.) Are we able to choose our love interest?(even so id still choose Lucy ngl) or do u plan on not adding dating mechanics?

Mhm, then they didn't forget about it. It was mentioned in Chapter 2 and she also reacts differently to him in Chapter 3! Dominant route is basically the route where you had sex.
Just finished playing through 0.3 again and I absolutely adore the story so far. The phone backgrounds are great.
Thank you very much! :) I'll add more in the future!
Glad you still like it, thank you! :))
Hey i was hoping you could help me out with larrissa it seems no matter what I do I can't find her
Hey, there is no content with Larissa as of version 0.3. I'm focused on other characters currently.
I am just wondering if the update would be out in January not try to rush you just try see if it might be out within the next month or so ?
Seeing that some other big games are about to release in December/January, I'll put my game behind them since I'm also just half-way with the rendering process as you can see in my dev logs :) It will definitely take some time since I also have quite some stuff going on irl at the moment.

Thanks just curious
Hey there, sorry to hear that it's not working. Is there any log file next to the executable? Can you check if there are any errors logged. Thanks!
Hey there, don't worry about it, it's perfectly understandable! Thank you, I'm happy to hear that you enjoy the game so far! I'm adding more details and everything to make the world feel more alive and realistic. Otherwise it wouldn't just feel right to me! Since the development takes long it's also only natural to keep everyone who's interested up to date :) Sharing my current struggles, the process and everything with the players is something I like to do. I'm giving it my best, so you guys can enjoy the next Chapter as well! :D
Is Beyond Humanity the SFW version of Between Humanity?
Hey there! Yes, that's correct :)
oe mano, pero mi pregunta es que si el persona o mejor dicho el protagonista que tiene algún poder para una futura historia o son visiones, pero si está demasiado buena ya no puedo esperar para ver como quedo
¡Hey, muchas gracias! El futuro lo dirá, no voy a spoilear nada relacionado con la historia :)
Looks great and the story thus far is pretty interesting.
I was just wondering if you did the models entirely yourself or if you started with a base model and worked from there?
Also curious what programs you use in your development pipeline.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Everyone starts with a base model and we've to work from there, but the variety of characters shows how much you can achieve even with a base model.
I use a lot of programs, for example renpy, vsc, photoshop, neo v2 and something like notepad++, command line, even visual studio 2022 for developing the translation tool.
Thank you very much for the overview of your programs! How would you recommend someone begin their learning path as compared with how you started your foray into development?
Looking forward to your next updates!
Quick question: When are you planning to release Chapter 4?
Well depending on development- could be either in December or next year for sure. Hope this answers your question
Thanks for answering him Scarlett! :D Exactly what I'd have written as well, working hard on it, also depending on releases of other games, I'll try to not intervene with other big game's release time frames.
Termine el capitulo 3 anoche.. Solo puedo decir que tiene muy buena pinta y me encanta la idea de ver el desarrollo de personajes, De momento la idea mia es seguir la Ruta de Anya, aunque estoy curioso de saber si cada final de capitulo tiene diferente final segun la ruta de cada personaje, así que en breves creare un save nuevo para comprobarlo,

¡Gracias! ¡Me alegra que te esté gustando hasta ahora! No habrá ningún tipo de violación ni prostitución de ningún personaje romántico en mi juego, no te preocupes por eso. Estoy trabajando duro en el Capítulo 4, ¡mantente atento a los dev logs para más información!
oye para cuando tiene la siguiente parte del juego está muy bueno y lo quiero terminar por completo o para cuando ya lo terminas
¡Gracias! Me alegra mucho que te haya gustado! La siguiente parte está en desarrollo, todavía tomará un poco más de tiempo, pero va muy bien.
Hey, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what, but whenever I load my save I am missing all the phone backgrounds I unlocked in previous play sessions. Is there a way to fix this? I don't play in the browser if that means anything.
Hey, that's a rather interesting bug. Usually your unlocked phone backgrounds are saved in the persistent file.

Can you check the folder "%appdata%/Renpy/BetweenHumanity-1679746291" if there are files and if the persistent file is maybe like 500+ KB in size.
I have a file named "persistent" in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\BetweenHumanity-1679746291
Is this the file you're talking about?
Exactly, there should be all the stored variables. What size is the file? And are your save games stored at that spot too?
When windows has trouble saving anything at that location, then it would explain why you won't have unlocked phone background except the custom and default ones.
Sorry for the late reply.
The file size is 25kb and all my saves appear to be in the same place.
Did you by chance exported it from the web build? I noticed that sometimes the export function gets interrupted and doesn't export everything. 25kb for the persistent file is way to small, it should be at least 100+kb
hello, i have reached chapter 3 at end and saved because it say to save, then i redownloaded it and kept my save file, then i continue to load but then its only chapter 3 it ended i could not do chapter 4, what to do?
Hey there, Chapter 3 is currently the end, I'm working on Chapter 4 at the moment!
Hey, I love the game! I can't wait for the next chapter, and the Spanish translation is very well done.
Hi! Thank you very much, happy to hear! :) Very nice that the Spanish translation works well, my efforts in making a translation tool seem to have been worth it!

Is there a Chinese version of the user manual?
Hey there, you're referring to the walkthrough PDF? I'd advice to use the walkthrough mod, there is only an english walkthrough.
Hi! Between Humanity has got to be one of the most fun games I have played recently! I love that its not just porn, and the mystery of Lilith really tickles my fancy.

Hey there! Happy to hear that you enjoyed it so far! Yeah, I try to tell a story and add the adult elements where I see them fit, that's more to my liking. You don't need to play a game to watch porn :D but finding story intensive games with adult elements is kind of rare imo. The Naomi choice has prerequisites, yes. You need to flirt with her in the early game stages to achieve that, otherwise she won't accept your advances (as solved in Chapter 2). Always glad to receive support, so I could maybe one day invest more time into the game beside working on my day job every day, so appreciate it, thank you! :)
Hi, I played Between Humanity for the first time last week and love it. My favourite characters are Anya, Amber, Naomi, Jane and Claire. I have a question and hope it happens: Is there a scene in Chapter 4 where you fuck Claire and fuck Jane? I find both of them incredibly hot and just the idea alone turns me on, especially when you look at their relationships with my avatar. I would also love it if you could fuck Amber and Anya.
Hey there, happy to hear that you love it so far! I keep the story rather realistic and since Jane and Claire don't even know each other, that would be rather impossible to pull of, even though MC doesn't even have come close enough to any of them to go that far with both :P You'll have to wait for a couple more chapters for those things to happen.
I don't know if you understood it that way, but I was referring more to whether the MC fucks one of them.
Another question: How long is the chapter? How many minutes, hours or days will it take me to play through the fourth chapter?
Ah gotcha, I won't spoil the game's future contents though, sorry :)
I can't say yet, since even I didn't play through all four chapters yet, I'm still working on the renders for 0.4. But I would say Chapter 1 to 3 takes roughly between 5-10 hours, highly depending on your reading speed. If you skip through parts it will obviously be faster, but if you read everything it's a nice long ride.
Hey! I have an idea for a scene with Claire: The next time they go swimming and she showers in the boys bathroom, the MC doesn't leave, but goes into the changing room with her and starts fucking Claire. She's completely surprised but doesn't mind, because she wants it anyway. And that way, not only does a teacher-student relationship develop, but also a sexual relationship. And then the two of them always have sex after swimming or maybe even after class. Of course, the whole thing could also happen between Jane and the MC.
Hi! Sounds not like something Claire would easily do, I tend to keep my novel semi-realistic, so a teacher-student relationship is by default permitted and Claire wouldn't dare to approach something like that at all. Either they need to get to know each other better for it to happen naturally or something unexpected needs to happen, who knows. :) But don't worry, something is planned for sure, since Claire is a LI and therefore there will be a relationship at some point! ;)
hey i played the web version, and exported a save file to continue on after i left because i decided it was worth downloading (great game so far btw props to you!!), and i was wondering how to import the saves into my newly downloaded game?
Hey! Happy to hear, thank you very much!! I quickly copied this from my Discord servers FAQ:
• To get your save games from the web version to the pc or android version, you need to first export the saves from the web build by clicking on the three lines at the top left corner. Once downloaded, you need to extract them into the following folder (for PC:
%appdata%\RenPy\BetweenHumanity-1679746291| for Android:/Android/data/com.dbpanda.betweenhumanity/files/game/saves). If you have troubles reaching the saves location on android, I use Cx file explorer to navigate to the location.hey there thanks for the awesome and quick response!! amazing to see how devoted you are to this im very glad to see! sorry i am on mac rn so how would that work for mac?
apologies if im slow also im not in the discord thats why. sincere apologies and my greatest thanks :)
Thank you, I try my best! :) MAC should be this location: $HOME/Library/RenPy/BetweenHumanity-1679746291
hey sorry again but i dropped the save file i extracted into the BetweenHumanity file and it still didnt load in my saves. was this the right place to put it?
in my downloads, i have the game which i extracted, i put the save file inside the game file, but it doesnt work. am i doing something wrong? sorry 💔
All good. You need to extract the .zip file into the save location. So you have your ".save" files right inside the folder.
How do I open the menu. I’m on phone and after the start of the tutorial the menu button disappeared. I was able to save in a phone call but that was it
Did you try to restart the game and check if the buttons are back? I have no clue why they would be gone. I do have a button on the bottom to hide the ui, but once you touch the screen, they should come back as usual.
can anyone send me the discord link in dms? (yes i’m from iOS), my username is crash_tv, btw just finished the game and it was amazing, please make the 0.4 i can’t wait!
Thank you very much! You can find the link on the itch page as well, here you go: https://discord.gg/VFq9HSr93E
so beyond humanity was just a prototype for this one? would be interesting if the author doesnt explore the past and just makes that a prequel.
Hey! Beyond Humanity is a SFW prototype version, if enough interest is shown, I'll try to add the additional chapters which already have been released for Between Humanity, but obviously remove any NSFW parts. It's the same story, a prequel to Between Humanity might be a bit too boring for most, since it would only/mostly be slice of life.
Any pregnancy content in this game?
I think there will be the future. Dunno for sure tho 🤷
Like insanity said, there will be in the future, it's still too early for that at the moment though :)
Fun game but the use of ai really takes me out of it. Was it just used for the tv images and the like or was it more involved in the game?
What parts of the game are AI, if I may ask? I've played Between Humanity a lot of times, and never noticed any AI. What was AI?
Check my reply :-P
Ohh okay I see I see. Yeah, I remember now. I respect tf out of you doing what you can to reduce AI usage. I don't necessarily hate AI, but it's good to avoid it when you can. Especially nowadays where it's absolutely everywhere. Thank you for fighting the good fight, Panda 👍
It would just cost too much to get custom made Pandalorian pictures for the amount of time I displayed them and I didn't want to not show something on the screen, but I understand people who dislike it, since some rely on their creative jobs.
Ohh okay, I see I see, (man I gotta get a less repetitive intro 💀) That makes sense. I'd rather see AI than nothing at all, lol. Even still, I'm glad you're slowly trying to replace the AI with, well, not AI.
edit: spelling
Hey there, thank you! For the AI topic, I could add an AI toggle to just display black images on the screen instead? It was used for a couple of TV images, Pandalorian for example, since that doesn't really exist anywhere to download it from. :D
Other than that, I reduced the amount of AI usage after 0.2, so in 0.3, I don't think there is any? Up to this point 99% of the renders and the music are made without ai (as far as I can tell), though.
I didn't know you were on Newgrounds, man! That's awesome! I hope your page there grows like this one has!
Thanks! Yeah I made that page a while ago when I had just released 0.3.1 :)
Ah, that makes sense why I'm only seeing it now, lol. That's really cool! AVNs are spreading to Newgrounds! Hope BH becomes just as successful on there, too!
👍👍👍
yo when is the new update coming really liked the game
Hey there, new update is planned to come out until the end of the year!
Yoo imagine if BH chapter 4, MBiML chapter 2, and Eternum 0.9 all came out at around the same time. That'd be fucking AWESOME! ✋💯🤚
I would delay BH for the sake of it, otherwise I just go under the radar which wouldn't be good at all :(
Oh damn... I hadn't thought about that aspect. But that's true. Damn...
Well, I'm guessing then you're either gonna release chapter 4 in November or January, because I'm 90% sure Eternum 0.9 and (possibly) MBiML chapter 2 are both set for December releases. Eternum 0.9 most likely, MBiML I'm just guessing. But, that's where it seems to be headed. So, I'm guessing then BH is gonna be not in December?
I'll probably not finish the current scope in November, just not enough time every day after I'm done with my main job. If most other games release in December, then I'm doing for a January release. It's still quite a bit of animation work as well, which is the most difficult work.
Thinking about replaying this game. It's been a bit, hasn't it? I gotta refresh my memory before chapter 4 comes out! I can't wait to see my boy Mike again! I'm overdue for solid replays of a good few AVNs, actually. 😅
Oh also to DebatingPanda, sorry I stopped commenting here and shit. I mean, I know it doesn't matter, but, I just feel like a dick after talking all the time about how much I love this game, and then going silent on it. I had real reasons for not being as active as I used to be, but I still feel bad. So, I'm sorry. If it's cool I wanna start being more active on this page again!
this is gonna make me look really stupid if you reply and it turns out you dont even remember me lmaooooo
All good :D no need to feel sorry. Everyone has their reasons for taking time off sometimes!
It's always a good idea to replay a game before a new chapter drops, heh. Chapter 4 will still take a while though, so no hurries. :)
Thanks for understanding! It's a huge weight off my shoulders. Truly.
And yeah, it is good to replay, so that's what I'll do, haha. Thanks! And take your time with chapter 4! Don't rush it or push yourself too hard. We're a patient people. :)
Take care of yourself, DebatingPanda! Later ✌️
Thank you! Take care of yourself too, gonna work hard to deliver a good 4th Chapter! :)
Looking forward to it 💯
