Hades is so perfect, just always in everyway all the time.

I did have a weird thing during my Hermes route where at the end when visiting Hekate she mentioned me apparently talking about being interested in her but Im certain I never had a conversation like that with Hermes so I'm unsure what happened there.

Also I would like to petition, once we gain dominion over wine, to turn the wine on Olympus or just Zeus' private stash to vinegar.

How did Hades handle judgement before the three judges died? Cause isn't Minos one of the judges?

The bug in question should now be fixed on fresh saves (because it involved changing the value of a variable in the startup file) at this point, but please let me know if it isn't.

As for the judges bit, it's a rotating position. There are three at any given time, but most of them don't want to do it forever, so they eventually rejoin the circle, so to speak, and someone new is appointed in their place. Before mortal spirits were judges at all, Hades did the judging himself.

Turning Zeus's wine into vinegar would be pretty hilarious, honestly. Petty vengeance is the best vengeance.

hi there! i'm having a grand time playing the new interlude, but i thought you might like to know that [spoilers for anyone who hasn't played yet] when you're asked to be chief, no matter what you choose everyone reacts as if you've refused. it looks like the *goto howabout command wasn't indented so that it just affects the last option?

Yeah, that was an oops on my part, heh. Thanks to everyone who reported this bug; it should be squashed now!

I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen, but I tried to choose the "I'm prepared" choice for Iasion's trial but I'm getting an error message that reads "08chapter line 9049: Non-existent variable 'iasion_trial' "Is it something I'm doing wrong on my end?

Not at all, anon. Thanks to you and everyone else who let me know this was happening; it should be fixed now. If not, of course, do please write in again. :)

Hello i want to report a bug when using the cp 6 skip.

"Aidoneus," Hades replies, touching his hand to his chest, then gesturing to you. "This is fakename."

Other than that, cp 8 was lovely :)

Thanks, anon. I've added a question in the chapter skip feature that will let you set whether or not the PC used a fake name there, and Hades should now introduce them with their real one if they didn't.

Hi, congrats on the new update I loved ......all of it. Particularly how dad helped my hopelessly clumsy MC to try and be stealthy, the whole thing had so much comedy potential and was witnessed by STYX of all people! My poor MC will feel so judged later... I noticed a bit of an inconsistency in MCs magic though. Mine was just fine flying in a bubble when she was on her way to Laüs with a shapeshifted Deira, but when choosing to rescue hostages and flying over the Acheron, somehow Hekate has to pull their weight and they suddenly can't fly anymore....

Poor Hekate always picking up the slack. Much love and endless snack supplies to you. Double thank yous for the community garden, as this is something I've been fantasizing about before the update and it came through and my awkward mom Demeter was there as well, being precious and cute! I almost wanted another chance to introduce her to Makaria there, bc I didn't want to spring it on both of them last time on the river shore, but it was already a very cute scene! And the first time MC chose NOT to use their magic to reinforce the growth. Because it would have felt like cheaping everyone's efforts somehow... I also like Kronos being muted (so satisfying after all this bluster and boasting) and his absolute disbelief that he'd be moved to Tartarus as if there were CONSEQUENCES for his actions. Go see how your fellow Titans have to deal, old timer! I am now giddily looking forward to ch8, but you've given us so much to ruminate on during the wait that I can find the patience for it to be polished rather easily. Will be replaying a lot.

Huh. The flight thing is very unexpected. I think no one is currently supposed to have that set to true (because the creator doesn't cover it), so the first result is actually the more surprising one. I'll have a look and see if I can figure out what's going on.

Anyway, I'm so glad you enjoyed! I've actually been working on the chapter so long that I kind of forgot how much stuff was actually in it. A lot of the little scenes, like everyone working on a garden and trying to stealth around with Iasion, were honestly some of the most fun to write. :)

hi at the end of the new chapter when you’re hanging out with hekate after suggesting she see hypnos to help with her problem i got this error and couldn’t progress

06chapter line 5774: Invalid expression, expected CLOSE_PARENTHESIS

Cheers, anon! Should be fixed now. Looks like I accidentally made an error in the process of fixing another one. As one does.

[chrysanthemumgames]

03chapter line 3009: bad label chap3hades

theres an error on the demo?

Huh. Not sure how that's happening, because the label works perfectly well in my files and qtest isn't picking it up. I just went ahead and replaced chapter 3 with my version, so hopefully that'll fix it for you.

Sorry about that one, anon!

I think I found some sort of bug?

In the beginning I picked "To mostly live in the Underworld, but have visits to Olympus." but later it's sometimes said that my MC lives part-time in Olympus as if I had chosen the splitting time option instead. There also was a reference of "sometimes" all friends living in the same place, but one month of visiting rights don't really feel fitting for that sort of reference ...?

Thanks, anon! I did catch a couple instances of this, which I fixed, including the specific one you mentioned, but if you see any other particular places where this doesn't feel quite right, please let me know. Generally, the more specific, the easier it is for me to find and adjust.

Hopefully, I got them all, though. :)
