Kincaid Build 2022.03 *Hotfix 1*
Added 2022-03-18 20:48:02 +0000 UTCHi Space Adventurer!
You’ve waited long enough for this, so without further ado.. ^w^
New Quest Added: Help the village by fixing the broken water supply!
After a hard day’s work, a kobold would very much like to take a hot shower. But how can he do it if the water is not working?
Something is clearly wrong with the piping and I’m pretty sure the rivaling tribe is behind it all!
How to get the new content
Hint: Follow the piping system and find out where it leads you!

New Characters Introduced: Meet Ai & Kaha!
Also in this build we’re finally revealing the first couple of story bits!
If you want to see the cutscenes you will have to start a new save game from the beginning. Because of sequencing issues, the cutscenes will not be available in older saves.
But that is not much of an issue: The first cutscene is right at the start of the game, and the rest follow very shortly after.
So you could just start a new save just to watch the scenes if you wanted to. ^w^
Regarding Future Story Bits in Kincaid
As of right now, the cutscenes are pretty close to each other. This will change though with the upcoming rebuild of the jungle area, as we will space areas out differently.
One of the cutscenes in this game is a liiiittle bit on the longer side. That might not be up everyone’s alley but rest assured that we will try to keep longish cutscenes to a minimum. The focus will be on gameplay and “show not tell”, but some cutscenes and expositions will be necessary.
Once we have the hubworld and the tutorial mission that will precede the events of the demo, a lot of the exposition will be broken up and moved to different parts of the game.
Also note that cutscenes are currently not skippable. This will change in the future, as well!
And now… Have fun!
And again, thank you *so so much* for supporting Kincaid’s development. We hope you’ll have fun with the new content.
And let us know what you think of the content. ^w^
Warm regards,
Cookie & Bunny

2022-06-07 21:30:19 +0000 UTCOne request i'd like to add. Can we have a checkpoint after that first bit? I keep trying to figure out the mechanics and dieing and then having to replay so many unskippable cutscenes...

2022-06-05 23:15:40 +0000 UTChaha you're right, it was me dumbfounded. Its a minor UX issue, like a hint of whether a feature did exist but not unlocked yet or just didnt exist at all. a major issue of game experience. i know some of the obstacle should be hard and challenging, But during my way to obtain double jump item, the save point is too far from hardest part of obstacle (where rocks were falling), it just felt so agonizing haha (cant help but getting died too before got to the rockfall part, consider im not kind a hardcore fan of platformer like this, and again, just my perspective, no need to take it too much)

2022-05-19 23:24:57 +0000 UTChey quick question, how on earth do i do the first jump? am i just bad or is this unreasonably hard
Just Take My Money
2022-05-19 23:22:51 +0000 UTCNice. I love to see a health bar during a boos fight. ^.^

2022-05-19 17:14:38 +0000 UTCThat would be good. And I am liking more and more the idea of using the interact button to start a sex scene, as a reward for finishing a fight, rather than having to be loosing to see one. Would like to see that sometime in the new overhaul also. ^.^
GFHCDK76
2022-05-19 17:11:55 +0000 UTCNo, the double jump is still in the game and I haven't heard of anyone not being able to do it. That is odd. Did you collect the item and are unable to perform it?
Cookiedraggy
2022-05-19 15:10:44 +0000 UTCi cant do a double jump in this build? is this supposed to happen or did i miss something?
SnowFlurryCat
2022-05-19 14:58:37 +0000 UTCI'll add a health bar! It was an experiment from us to decide if we want boss healthbars or not. Seems like the majority of people would like to see it, so all bosses will have one going forward! ^^
Cookiedraggy
2022-05-19 06:04:14 +0000 UTCThat's a good idea! In the overhaul I will do area-based tutorials that disappear once you leave the general area where the hint is relevant. ^w^
Cookiedraggy
2022-05-19 06:03:39 +0000 UTCI'm a little stumped on the kobold boss fight, idk if I'm doing I wrong or if I'm getting really close each time, would there be a possibility to add a health bar? If not then just some tips on how to fight him properly.

2022-05-18 19:26:22 +0000 UTCThis is an observation form the start of the game. Some can't read as fast as others. So, when you have a hint popup, such as the one telling you to hit F to heal, the popup is gone, long before I can read all of it. The same with the map hint. It is gone, long before I can see all of what it's telling me to do. Would be great if they stay visual, after showing up, until you hit A or try to move. So you have all the time you need to read popups, like one can during cut scenes. This would be great for any slow readers like myself, who like to read everything in game I can find. Mostly if it's helpful to game play.

2022-05-10 15:34:45 +0000 UTCThat is odd. :/ I can only imagine that it is an overzealous anti-malware program that removes it. Try deactivating any you might have to see if it still happens, or add Kincaid as an exception. Nothing in the game itself would cause it to auto-delete itself.
Cookiedraggy
2022-05-10 14:54:23 +0000 UTCsure. like you said when i click the link it started the download, after it was done with the download i went and extracted the file as soon as that was down i open the file and click the application, my pc always gives me a warning for files that i download from online its more of a safty thing. i click run anyways as soon as click a error tab open say about i don't have permission to open this and the application deletes itself. i have tryed with the other build and it was the same other then the free demo one. if you like i can show you a screen shot of the issue in discord.

2022-05-10 14:34:28 +0000 UTCThat is strange. Can you walk me through the process? It should download the ZIP file. Then you need to extract it and run Kincaid.exe

2022-05-10 14:12:50 +0000 UTCi can't seem to open the app say i don't have permission to open it even tho i have subbed. even tryed dowloading the app again did not help

2022-05-10 10:43:29 +0000 UTCEach time there's an update, it always breaks the Heal ability causing me to need to delete my most complete run <~>

2022-04-06 08:03:12 +0000 UTCSome reason every time i punch a slime while its falling it crashes my game x.x
Netro
2022-04-06 07:34:58 +0000 UTCNope it hasn't been removed. Some areas don't have a map (yet), so maybe that is why.

2022-04-04 06:23:13 +0000 UTCumm i can't seem to open the map anymore is that taken out?

2022-03-23 05:24:25 +0000 UTCSkippable cutscenes is definitely one of the next few things I will implement!
Cookiedraggy
2022-03-23 05:23:53 +0000 UTCWhile I am actually decent at the game and greatly enjoy it, I did find something worth pouring some time into for folks who aren't familiar with the game's mechanics or keys. Some way to skip cutscenes is strongly desired given the lead in to the first save point. It's grueling to have to mash E and Enter to try and get through dialog as quickly as possible after dying twice and sitting through the entire intro more than three times to progress. This was really done in an effort to explore and refamiliarize.

2022-03-23 04:29:03 +0000 UTCI’m able to move during the cutscene when you enter the village after saving the Flyer in training and during the cutscene when you met the small slime looking for it’s missing half.
