October SS Reward #2 - Ample Chests 0.3!

While the ghouls and goblins have been playing the streets, we've been deep in the code mines, hacking away at numbers and variables until they made some delicious gaming magic! Or at least a fun way to spend an afternoon.

----------------------------

UPDATE: New quick fix version 0.3.1 is out - use these files instead of the old links:

Download Links: PC | Mac | Android

One thing that has become clear is that old saves (from version 0.2) can cause issues with the game, so if you're coming from 0.2 we highly recommend starting a new game. (We put in a 'skip the intro' button to help facilitate a faster re-start of the game)

Bug fixes:

Thanks to everyone who let us know of the existing issues - please let us know if you're still facing issues with the new version!

-------------------------------

A mere one month after the release of Ample Chests 0.2 - we asked you, the patrons what you wanted to see in the next iteration. After some pretty resounding poll results we have crafted the next step in fleshing out this game from the skeleton we constructed last month.

We highly recommend players start a new game to enjoy all the new content that has been added. We included a skip button for the intro to get you into the game proper ASAP for this reason. As always with new release there may be bugs, so let us know any problems you have in the comments, DM or over on Discord.

The new content includes (but is not limited to):

With October coming to a close, I'd like to give a massive thanks to everyone who as a patron this month - and double thanks to everyone who voted in the polls. They gave the us direction that became the basis to what Ample Chests 0.3 ended up becoming!

The current plan for November is a new standalone animation - we'll let you know as the pieces fall into place!

October SS Reward #2 - Ample Chests 0.3! October SS Reward #2 - Ample Chests 0.3!

Comments

That should be fixed. Can you check that you have the latest version of the game 0.3.1 and aren't using an old save (sometimes that can bring over old errors).

Lady Grove

I don't know if it's just me or not, but once I want to go in the final island it says that I need to bring them to the Den of Depravity (even if tey're fully green)... I even tried to max 3 crew members but I still can't go Why?

Just Poli

Thanks for flagging that Ryan, we'll DM you some details.

B.E. Grove

On the android version, I cant access the building to recruit new crew. It comes up with an error message

Ryan

She sure does 😊 so I don't spoil it for others we'll DM you a hint.

Lady Grove

Does Simone have a Max Island? I can't find it.

Lord of Chronichles

So if I may offer a suggestion, can you give us a way to replay the special expansion scenes and please can you create some permanent reprecussions for it like an enlarged uncracked size and a larger cracked size potentially getting back up to that point?

V

Thanks for flagging that. We'll DM you for a little more detail and then we'll take a look. πŸ’ͺ

Lady Grove

i think i found a bug when swapping around crew members a bunch and now one slot is always filled even though it only has two people on my ship's crew. it force me to only use two crew members once the bug happened even though it says there's 3 when leaving the port.

Gangtie

Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoy our games. Always useful for us to hear what patrons think.

Lady Grove

I think the progression of the game is a little bit slow. (Maybe im doing something wrong). Like for when early game. You can get hit by storms and lose health before even unlocking the harbor for repairs. And even when you unlock it its kinda punishing when you dont have a lot of gold. And I also think for some characters the first "expansion" arent really that noticable in the first stage. (I have to say that I am into the hyper stuff, So that saying I wish the expansions would go much further on. But I understand that might not be for everyone.) And a little thing I strugled with is that its so much clicking for basic actions. Travel new Island, who's taking the idol. Wait, same question again, whos taking the idol?. And then the repetitive can be a little to much. Altough I do really enjoy the horny texts. Please note that I did really enjoy what I saw and really enjoyed the other games you guys have put it. But I kinda wish there were more expansions levels/ bigger sales and maybe the optimsation in the amount of clicking

AshWilliams1984

All ideas from patrons are welcome, can't promise anything but we genuinely do like hearing ideas from this community. There is definitely scope for some interesting things with the pirates.

Lady Grove

I know you're probably not going to have you this, but I have a a idea if you ever come around to this type of game again since you made special animations for the idol to max out the crew. Maybe at some point the pirates that you catch have a special animation where they go on the extreme side if this game ever gets updated again ex : your old crewmate get muscles but to big to move

Bigger is better

Thank you for spotting that, you are right and I have fixed it in the backend. 100% we read these things so many times that we just don't see it. At least this was an easy fix, its so much more annoying when its in a graphic.

Lady Grove

Another Text mistake I noticed when picking up Mixy from exploring she says "Ah, look who shoed up." unless you meant for her to sound a little drunk I'm pretty sure you're missing a "w". I can understand how it was missed though. I know I've read that dozens of times before I noticed.

Some Guy

Thank you, BE Grove worked his tail off to get the fixes out as soon as he could.

Lady Grove

I'm so pleased to hear you are loving the update, I love it too!

Lady Grove

Given how much we updated we recommend people don't use saves as they seem to be causing issues. We've added a skip function into the intro to get you into the game proper ASAP for this reason.

Lady Grove

Very pleased to hear that 😊

Lady Grove

Thanks for posting the update - I was suffering from the bug with the crew not being able to be added, so I'm thrilled that this is fixed!

daevadrain

looove the update, hoping to see more preg and lactation in the future... and emilie she's great

daevadrain

Damn this was quick. Great work!

Internal Disappointment

Not entirely sure what you're suggesting here - you can currently leave girls on islands and pick them up later - the only limit is that you can't leave them when going to port, which is structural to the game.

B.E. Grove

Good to know, I've got a new version being released shortly, hopefully it'll help with that.

B.E. Grove

Possible future update: Being able to leave a girl to explore an island and then retrieve them at a later time.

Sir Gallonhand

I've been enjoying the game but with everything done and trying to go to the final destination, the game says I can't head out without visiting the Den of Depravity. I've got everyone maxed out and all green but I'm softlocked out of the ending πŸ₯²

Raziel14085

Unfortunately our games don't work on iOS devices (though we wish they would Apple don't allow us to).

Lady Grove

I'm so glad to hear you've enjoyed the update. Currently there isn't but we're tossing around some ideas of how we could potentially add one in.

Lady Grove

The update is great!🫢 I've finished playing through it and I have to say I'm really taken with Fayde and her hourglass figure.😍😍😍 Is it possible to watch the special animation afterwards? I'd also love to see Lyra's cute butt grow that big more often.πŸ˜‹

Chef21xen

I downloaded it on my phone, it's an Apple app, but it won't open.

zinghipu

Yeah because the storms are out of chance without any warning, and I would like to have the chance to continue sailing with having 1 heart left on the ship, especially in the beginning of the game where you don't have any planks and you're trying to progress quickly towards unlocking Angry's Dock. The storms also sometimes hits you concurrently, it just doesn't feel very fair.

Billy

Always nice to see Change Deck getting some love, its been a while since we've given it much attention.

Lady Grove

I'm really glad you enjoyed the game. We're doing our best to take care of ourselves we promise πŸ₯°

Lady Grove

Good for Belle to have some competition 😎 glad you enjoyed the game.

Lady Grove

And I had zero glitches. The game ran perfectly. I have an Alienware Laptop that I play it on if that makes a difference.

PredFan

Just finished the game. It was fun. I can now definately say that Belle and now Simone, are my two favorite animated characters.

PredFan

Another text error I see is when Mixy is talking about the cows in her order. Ruby asks what she does exactly to witch Mixy replies Lactate, then Ruby follows up with "A norble profession, at least."

Some Guy

Messing with this and I have to say, storms are just flat out annoying. I get you are trying to justify the planks and ship health mechanic but randomly deleting a chunk of health is not a good solution. This is made worse by storms being active from the start, but you can't buy planks until further in. So your stuck relying on RNG for planks. As a suggestion if you really want to keep the storms. Maybe turn the storms into a minigame so you can avoid the damage? You could even reward players who escape unharmed with an item or something? Or, if you want it to be a hazard, give players a choice. If caught in a storm, players can choose to try and sail through the storm and risk taking damage (just use a random number generator to decide if they make it or not). Or hunker down and wait it out, triggering the idol on whoever is holding it

Metallix

I also have that issue too, and I think it's because when we open the port's menu, with the pirates that we captured being part of our brig, it counts as the pirates we captured as being part of our crew.

Billy

I may be one of many in this, but I keep having issues where the crew is going over max capacity, resulting in me being unable to have crew.

RainSound

With all the technical issues people are pointing out I figures I'd share a text one. In one if the conversations between Lyra and Ruby, Lyra says Captain check out this passage to which Ruby responds: No thanks, I prefer t' keep my eyes in the read world, not burried in books. I feel like she mean to say real world, also I'm pretty sure buried only has 1 "r".

Some Guy

i got the same thing any fixes

I haven't experienced the Emilie bug since the first time it happened but I figured I would try to break down what happened. Was playing on PC, had two explore able islands and the ship repair island unlocked. - The crew was Emilie 0/4, Minxy 0/3, & Lyra 0/4. Left port with Emilie holding the idol, she grew to 1/4. Explored the first island, the glitch happened where as soon as she was deployed it said complete. Collected my crew and treasure and set said for the second island. Hit a storm then she grew to 2/4. Explored thee next island without the glitch she hits another growth cycle bringing here up to 3/4. Left that island towards Port to unload and refresh the islands, hit another storm, this time the storm video played but the growth did not. After unloading I clicked to travel to the shipwrite island for a repair instead of asking who will hold the idol I got a message showing her affliction level was 4/4 would you like someone else hold the idol? I clicked Nar! After traveling I saw the clip of her growing from level four to level 5 followed by and on deck conversation where she didn't seem distracted at all. I fixed the ship and clicked to travel to the next island when the same message popped up showing she was 4/4 would you like to have someone else carry the idol. Again I clicked Nar! The ship moved I. Was hit by another storm and she grew again to what I believe was level 6 followed by an on deck conversation where she didn't seem super distracted. She had her elbows up and she was talking about visiting her family cause they'd never believe how big she got or something... I then tried to explore the island where I got a message she was Kracked and had to choose someone else.

Some Guy

By any chance are you operating on a old save?

Jason_X117

This happened to me as well but that was on my old save files when I tried to try out the new content without making a new playthrough. Simply starting a new save fixes that specific issue. Annoying to start over but that's the fix I discovered.

Jason_X117

Love the game, thank you but on android the bame crashes everytime I go to hire crew. When i get caught by the storms the game also crashes so I can't repair my ship. Haven't had any bugs upto now on previous versions but having to quit the cane or rollback alot more

Genesis1313

Happy Halloween everyone, and what a treat we have here. A fantastic update to the game and a lot of great animation. Hope Grove and Lady Grove take care of themselves. P.S will next months video be about NNN because if so hooooo-boy I loved the previous comics and vids, if not all good your content never misses.Love ya 😘

Jakcrash

Some Bugs I saw: - Like someone else commented, sometimes when you start exploring as soon as you get on the island it will say completed and you can collect a free treasure. - When I Upgraded Emilie to level four, after she was afflicted 4/4 I could travel to an island and select nar to if someone else should hold it and she would go beyond her level to 5 and even 6/4.

Some Guy

Love the game and the new characters! Storms randomly happening...not so much. Already had a few times where my ship has got hit by lightning on the way to get my ship fixed, sinking it. I get the last version had no reason to go to the docks to get your ship fixed, but this feels like an over correction. Still enjoying the experience on whole!

SquatchTeam6

I second this. The storm is v annoying πŸ˜…

trench-lust

I like that you added my suggestion for the storm mechanic, but is there any way to decrease the odds of it hitting? I've lost my ship 3 times before unlocking the island to buy planks, I have seriously gotten stuck in a storm 4/5 times I travel.

Some Guy

On Android I can't can't see the hiring crew at all. It's just a bunch of messed up texts of code and it's telling me to roll back or quit the game

Bigger is better

Great works guys im just wondering if you you thought about going back to Change Deck that was also always a blast

MrAnimeFan4Eva .

Same here. The last one isn't a bug tho, i think it's supposed to work that way: you either get the bounty or use them as idol bearers, one use each.

Tramaombre

Sometimes when you play the treasure mini game a glitch occurs that not only makes you instantly fail the game but also constantly makes the sound of the crane moving even after the game is over and it doesn't stop until you do something to trigger another sound (like giving a crew member the idol) sorry about any bad grammar English is my second language

Daniboy

Incredible work as always! The amount of extra progress made is amazing, really great work! Been playing for a couple of hours and i've noticed a couple of bugs, the main ones being... - This was the main one that prompted my comment. When i try to leave port to go exploring again and it asks what 3 crew (out of the 4 i currently have) i'd like to take with me, it will only let me select 2 but it says 3/3. Even with no one selected it says 1/3. I think it's an issue with capturing pirates. because i caught the first one, went to port, left again and the "select crew for this voyage" said 4/3. I kept playing to see if the issue would resolve itself did another round of exploring, was able to capture another pirate, returned to port, went the leave again and this time it says 5/3. So it seems like the captured pirates are being added onto the crew count. - Occasionally when I drop a member of the crew off at an island to go exploring, after doing so it will instantly say "Completed" without be having me to wait or go to another island and come back. To be honest this 'bug' is quite handy but i still thought i'd mention it as I know it's probaly not meant to do this. One last one I'm not sure if it is a bug or not, after catching pirate Penelope and having them hold the idol and doing their transformation they just disappeared from the brig. Not sure if i just missed some blue text on this one and that's supposed to happen. Playing on macbook if that helps. Let me know if you need anymore info :)

trench-lust

I don't know if you'll remember my comment from the 0.2 launch but I'm still having issues on my Pixel 6 Pro on android 16 even with 0.3s APK. Even tried another files app to install it and it's installing fine, but then still won't open 😭 really stuck now and was really holding out for 0.3 to see all this new stuff

Smileykids

Oh, did not expect this to come out this quick. You guys really cooked with this one.

M Gmo

I know the feeling, I hope the work hours fly by πŸ‘

B.E. Grove

What are the errors you're getting? Did you start a new game or loading from an old save?

B.E. Grove

What platform are you using?

B.E. Grove

Nooooo, I have to be at work for 12 hours!!! (T.T) WHYYYYYYY?!?!?

Redd

you have to start a new game, it will show up in the new game

Drunk Irish

The net in the shop, recruiter agency and ship repair option at the dock all cause errors.

RayMkV

when i interract with the new update i keep getting "an exception has occured" is there something i did wrong
