Hello everyone!

I'm very happy to release the 2nd chapter of FinDinG Buddies

Also, after some requests from you, I am also releasing this version to Android. Please let me know the performance of the game on your phones, I only had the opportunity to test it on one device. The game is heavy with a lot of videos, so be aware that it might not perform well on some devices. 

Together with the new chapter, there were also some improvements to the whole game, here are some of them 

  • Added a choice on the toilet scene
  • Visual improvement on choice system
  • Implemented response time
  • Improvements in background audio 
  • Optimization on images
  • HUD improvements
  • Improvements in voice acting 
  • Fixed some subtitles

Hope you will have fun playing it, please let me know your thoughts and what you expect from the future of the game.
I'm slowly dedicating more time to this project thanks to your support and our patrons, so you can expect better quality, more gameplay time, and new releases in a shorter time

Thank you all for your amazing support, I have no words to describe how happy I am

Love you all <3

Hi man,

Really good game. I got chapter 1 on my computer. Now that you released chapter 2 on Android i was so happy... but i unfortunately got a major problem that doesn't allow me to play. I am using a Samsung Z fold. If i open the phone and open your game, I'll get the menù page as the picture attached. Which means i don't even have the options to click on, which means i can only close the game as i cannot play it 😓.

i hope you'll get a fix for this issue. Carry on with your great job otherwise man.

I loved the new chapter, although was sort of short. But I understand that this VN have a lot of cinematics and very well done details that makes it worthy the wait.

I'm been liking the story so far. The AI voices are better and the graphics too. I liked the time options, good call.

But, what I loved more than everything is the Teacher. God, what a handsome man. I want more of him in the next updates.

Hugs.

hi, i'm having problems with this version. game gets stuck after the promise choice. picking "promise" causes the dialogue to just stop progressing, i could reverse it with mouse wheel, but after choosing "stay silent" game completly stops responding, reversing with mouse wheel doesn't work, can't go to the menu.

also i'm playin on 1680x1050 resolution and the game is silghtly cropped on the sides, would be greatful for a fix.

Hey, thanks for your report.
About the cropping, the images are 1920x1080, they will not adjust well with a different aspect ratio rather than 16:9. Every other text like subtitles and menu, should adjust accordingly to your resolution. Maybe I can add the logo from the menu as a text also, currently is just an image, it doesn't adjust. 

I think the game didn't freeze on this part you mentioned, if you still can hear the sound, it definitely didn't freeze. Also, you can try to press backspace and check if the pause menu appears. 

There is just a pause of 4 seconds and then, a hidden load to the video and the next scene, so it may take a couple of seconds to load it, depending on your hardware.

But Ill check it if there is anything that can cause this issue 
Thank you

thanks for the reply.

i had the game on a flash drive and that somehow blocked the video from loading. the first video loaded fine so it's kinda weird.

edit: ok turns out that flash drive wasn't the problem. the game can only load one video, i have to save after it, quit and restart the game and load the save to see another video and so on. but the bus scene seems to have two videos after one other and i'm stuck.
