Hello! Orange! I am from China.Because of the translation problem,my little friend and I have a question to ask you, is Marina male or female? My little partner and I have been arguing about this issue all the time, because you suggested that marina's gender is male in many places in this game, but I always insist that Marina is female, and I look forward to your reply.
Hi Orange, I'm a transfem person and I can't express how much I have related to Marina!!! It would be awesome if she were canonically transfem (but no pressure!).
Glad to hear! If someone really connects with one of these characters, it always makes my day for sure. Marina is probably my favourite character of the whole cast too.
As for making it canonical - I think it more or less is canon already. I mean how else would you read the info presented in the game? I've heard some people argue that she just dresses like this in this moment in time, but Marina's ending shows clearly otherwise. If the game was set in any more modern setting, I wouldn't mind labels, but I don't think in the 40s they had modern identity vocabulary. Besides I kinda like how it is presented in the game currently. It's not emphasized or understated, this is just how Marina is. Hope this is understandable and doesn't feel like a cop out, as I'm certainly not trying to brush it aside.
Thank you! I can assure you you don't sound like you're dodging the matter, in an ideal world that is perhaps how representation would be done, casual and not something with high debate ground. Some people are unable to perceive the trans coding of the character or are unwilling (because of their weird obsession with "femboys"). I am really glad my introspection on the character are not in vain!
I wish you best of luck in your future projects, be it F&H or not! I am in love with the world you've created and how it developed! Best of luck!!!
Just wanted to chime in to say that I also really appreciate this sentiment and the overall tact you took in writing her; modern vernacular on the matter wouldn't feel appropriate, but era-specific ideas and terms about it also wouldn't be right either for any number of reasons. In taking your own line and founding her circumstances in the lore of your setting, you managed to make that part of her story very impactful for her life, while it is not at all heavy-handed; she's well assured of who she is, while all the same dealing with a lot of complex feelings about the impact the matter may have had on her family. 'This is just how Marina is', it's just one facet of her character and a personal one, and I appreciate that approach to writing such a character immensely.
Ahem, anyway! I just finished my first ending of the game last night (as Marina), and wanted to come here to say something in thanks, at least. I've managed to spread the festivities to a few good friends of mine too who are enjoying their time with the game a lot as well, currently. Thanks so much for your work on this, and I hope your future works are fulfilling for you whatever they happen to be in!
As one final aside, though... I am still very much in the process of exploring the game, but I do just have to ask (and needless to say you are under no obligation to answer!), is there actually some information if not closure as to what happened with Marina's mother currently present in the game? I have yet to find anything, and I'm wondering if I missed it, or if it was more just implied by other events, or the like, since that was part of her opening motivation. Just something that's been gnawing at me!
For the record, trans terminology did very much exist in the 1940s, although the commonly used term would have been transsexual, not transgender. Not only did terms exist for trans people, medical treatments like HRT existed too. Germany actually had a transgender clinic that was destroyed by the Nazis in the 1930s where trans patients could have received hormones and other care.
hello again Orange a lover of your Fear and Hunger games and just curious on predictions. I’ve been seeing your current latest arts on Twitter and each look awesome, especially Marina. I am not expecting a free copy I just can’t wait for this great sequel to an already great horror game. Keep up the great work, have fun, and don’t stress yourself out.
Of course I'd love the game to leave a lasting impression to most people, but since I don't hear anything from the vast majority of people who bought the game, I wouldn't know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm sure there are plenty of people who thought the game was just alright, but wouldn't consider themselves fans per se. Then there are the occasional bad reviews and ofc I'm sure there are fans who pirated the game, so they're not exactly customers. If people give the game a fair shake, that's all I can ask really.
Hi Orange, I really enjoy this game. But I found I am unable to open the Mac version after I upgraded my system to Big Sur. My MacBook says I don't have the permission to open the game. Would you like to have a look on that problem? ^ ^
Bit of advice for post content, since you did quite a bit for F&H 1. Randomizer, for both normal and key items. It completely changes the feel of every game.
The issue would happen in other occasions as well but it was fixed. then, after a while, I also found out what you just described (about 8 months ago) but to me it only happened if I tried to enter the mirror world "after" the first time. meaning in each playthrough, entering the underground other world was fine the first time (when you had to) but it gave me the black screen every time after I got the key, and not only THAT specific other world, but every other world in the demo after that. I am sorry to say that we still didn't have any update on the bug ever since but I do hope Orange fixed it in the full version ^^
Hello, hello! Have a happy new year and don't stress it. everyone got held back for reasons the past year! We'll be patient as we are with santa! in the meantime, did you happen to update any mechanics in the demo? If yes, would you like me to do a couple of more speedruns for any possible new bugs? |Edit: I know it's not my business but I do love the game and if I can help you spotting them bugs I'd be more than glad to help! besides, I am looking for an excuse to do another speedrun but there is nothing left for me to explore so all I can do is look for bugs till the full release xD
Hello, I heard sometime ago that full version gonna be released in december this year, is this true? If not, can you tell an ETA? I enjoy first game, and arleady beat a demo 3 times.
For some reason I don't have the right to send a message in the discord channel, so I'll just gonna left this cry from the my heart right here. Hello. Came here to share my feelings about the game, it's truly a masterpiece. I can't describe that gorgeous stunning and shocked fear I've got. I can't compare it with anything I played before. And I'm waiting so much for a full version of a new game, and will pay any price the Author will set. The graphic here deserves special attention. So, please, if anyone can share to me the full sizes pictures that stands on the main menu of a both game (without parts of menu interface and naming of the game), you will make me the happiest person in the world. Please, help me to get this radiance, so I'll be able to worship it like a god. (P.S. My English is petty weak, I never try to discuss with some other people on English, so please forgive my dumb mistakes anyway.) Thank again. Love you.
Hi! Really glad you like the game! I have been asked about the full resolution version of that picture a couple of times now . I think I'll have to upload it soon because of the public demand : D I've just been meaning to work on it a little bit more to finalize the picture first. (there are some minor things that bother me in it)
I will wait as long as it takes. It's really worth it. I'm also will be very glad, if you can share this pictures with the name of the game on it. So I can hang it on the wall like a poster. Just understand than i need it as well. I want my friends to know where this splendor comes from. The version without the title will be only for my personal admiration. >:3 I hope that you will not be embarrassed by this request. Waiting for it so patiently also with trepidation. Thank you.
I just want to say this game is so good. There is a bug that kinda corrupted my game but it's still playable if i close it and open it up again. This bug involves going into the tunnel then teleporting a place that looks like the workshop (i forgot it's name) then getting out by climbing the ladder. This results in me getting a blackscreen but I am still able to hear audio and look in the menu please fix this bug.
You have to steel your heart and be ready to die a couple of dozen times till you get the flow of the game :P the first game used to be much more unfair (only recently the lucky coin was added to the first game as well, to help the players). I had to die SO many times before I find a nice strategy for this game. the one thing I can suggest is, try to loot whatever you can loot without endangering yourself and kill only whoever is necessary until you get a second party member. Another thing that helps is saving BEFORE interacting with libraries because loot gets reset with reloads and the game doesn't have that many books in it yet. That way you can reload until you get books that you need.
Just made this account to say that i love everything about F&H, i had gave up on horror games until i was introduced to it last year. I can't stress enough how much i waited for a deep, brutal, compelling and lovecraftian experience such as this. For me, F&H is as good as dark fantasy gets and i am very excited to see what comes next for Termina, which i'm loving so far.
I'm not on the discord server cause i'm antisocial as f*ck so i'm posting this here. Keep up with the good work.
One of the best RPG Maker made games I have ever seen. The visuals are amazing, it fits the whole theme of the game. I love how you choose the branching paths to where you actually lead to and progress in the game. It adds lots of replayability.
hey orange. i found your games upon Neco the Sergal and have had a blast playing the first! hopefully the 2nd release comes as soon as the first did! cant wait to see the ultimate climax of the festival!
I want to say first and foremost that I made an account just so I could praise this game and the one that came before it. I am in your discord server but I fear that posting there would leave my praise lost in a sea of random memes.
I play this game often and any time my friends see me play it at least five to ten of them jump into discord to watch me play it.
I see the influences you have taken and I see your own individuality and it is pretty much everything I have ever wanted in a horror game. Granted, the RNG is very punishing in the first game, but I think that this one is more serviceable to a wider audience and has really refined everything that was great about the first game. I pray that more people will be able to play and digest the deep lore to this game. I have been slowly playing both titles for months and the slow burn has made this game a lasting memory for me.
For those who are just getting into it, BE PATIENT. You aren't meant to get everything done in one run. In fact, you will want to do a multitude of playthroughs because you will learn something new every time you play it, and that is a fact. You get the most out of this experience if you are ready to learn more lore, or are interested in strategy and figuring out what you can do better the next run. This game, to me, feels as though it's about the journey.
To call it a love letter to Berserk, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls does not even do it justice. I feel as though in Termina you have really found the game's own identity. I am completely obsessed, and this game really sparked my muse for writing and drawing horror again. There is so much beauty and humanity in the macabre.
I look forward to future updates. Thank you, Orange, for all of your hard work over the past years.
Thanks so much for the nice words! It's always nice to hear. The game is very niche and the crowd playing the game is small, but it's so cool that the few people who play the game find it worth their time.
You are right that these games (the first one even more so) are made for multiple runs and replayability in mind. It always pains me to see people trying to do perfect runs and get everything just right when these games really aren't made for that. I think it just adds to the frustration very easily that's all, I don't mean to tell people how to play their games ofc. Ultimately I think I should come up with better ways to encourage playing the game differently. Just rolling with the punches and all that. but yeah, just like the game, the development too is a journey and let's see how these games shape up!
Hey everyone! I recently finished up my playthrough of the demo so here's a link to the Playlist. It includes both the current and previous builds. Enjoy!
Got it! Thanks for the info because I was about to look around the whole place and interact with every woman, alive/dead or boss, to see if it belongs to them xD
Congrats, the game is looking great! I noticed a few typos, but I am guessing those will be taken care of later.
I got a bug of sorts: when playing as Daan, right after recruiting Marina, I went to the west wagon to see the little scene with Samarie. She wasn't there, but the door looked like it was open, When I tried to interact with it, the text said it was locked.
Have you ever thought about having female ghouls as an option? That lady in the bridal dress would make a badass one.
Can I make one suggestion? When you read books time still flows which can cause hunger to increase and sanity to decrease so is there anyway to stop this or decrease it or is it just a side effect of reading books? I love the lore and really like the longer lore books like Alll-Mer's skin bible but if its going to tank my stats I might have to pass on reading them in certain situations.
huh.... I let my party members die of starvation twice, just to see what Per'kele says on each number possible in the demo, and that didn't happen to me. must be a rare one, good find!
I'm guessing you are playing v2.3? There was a bug in spawning the dead bodies (as well as some other sprites) because I updated some of the systems. It should be fine now in v.2.4 as long as you first transition to another room (there is a version fail safe in map transition) If it still happens after that, let me know!
Somehow my game got bugged and whenever I use heroin (doesn't matter which character) the screen goes black and that's it. I can hear my footsteps walking around but I just have to restart. it doesn't matter in which area I do it...it's weird because in the same game I could normally use heroin and I dunno what triggered this. It has affected all of my saves, even older files in which I could use heroin.
EDIT: It happened after I made Levi take heroin and, while he was doing the injection animation, a bobby engaged in combat (enemies take a bit to come to a full stop when the animation starts). after I finished combat, the character models became invisible while on the field and, after I reloaded to fix that, It would completely go dark when I tried to use heroin (even when I completely closed the game and restarted it)
EDIT 2 : I watched the experience of a youtube creator trying the new classes. He also had 2.3. The glitch of blackness happened to him without the conditions that I mentioned in the first Edit of this post. That means it's probably not what triggers it. He gave Levi the heroin right in front of the mayor, game went black, he talked to him, text and dialogue options were visible, he started the fight, he won the fight, game returned to normal. so it gets fixed after an encounter, I guess?
It's a weird glitch. By using heroine I can trigger the black screen. If I start combat and win, my screen will no longer be black, but the party is invisible and I can't open my menu.
However this isn't the only way I've found to make the party invisible, sometimes just fighting enemies inside the old city will trigger the invisible party glitch. I haven't found a way to fix the invisible party glitch personally.
This guy gets the blackness glitch, fights the mayor and afterwards the party is visible (it's near the end of the video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o5Y8WeZUqQ maybe invisibility chance after combat is 50/50
Thats actually because I cut to a previous save then fought the boss without using heroin. When I use it though same things happen and I can't open the menu either.
It should be now fixed in v2.4. I updated some of the base systems in v2.3 and there was one attribute that only got set in the beginning of the game, if you continued with a save from an older build, that attribute was never set. In v2.4 I made a fail safe if you transition to another room, this way the attribute is set.
-Is it supposed to be eternal night after the night of the third day? -2 of the bobbies die forever, I dunno if that is intended because every other bobby gets up. The two that die are, the second bobby of the first screen in the city (His head gets automatically cut for some reason) and the other one is the first you encounter in the area with the shooter on the truck. -Sometimes, when you kill the first priest you encounter after you pick up the keys of the church and the sewers, the second encounter appears already dead. This is random. And another little question. can the riddle you can find be solved at the moment? If not I will jsut leave it for the full release. Something something, golden in the morning. It's like a crossword
Bobbies can be perma-killed quite easily. Those two bobbies are just glitched that when they die their head is removed. I won't spoil how to kill Bobbies since it's quite the experience repeatedly killing the same Bobbies before they finally wear you down and kill you, repeatedly, to figure out their every weakness. Though I will inform you about one weakness/strength.
Bobbies heads are not vulnerable in combat unless both the legs are destroyed and you've used the talk action to ask them why the law is in effect and that they serve and protect the people.
After doing that the head will be vulnerable to attacks but it won't display the vulnerable mark when it's vulnerable.
I figured out what perma kills them ^^ also, my strategy with bobbies is take out arms then go straight for the body xD I am a simple man! (Of course I use a full party for that)

I really like the art style of this game! Which software was used to develop this game?
Happy you like it! It's made in RPG Maker MV.

My little partner and I have been arguing about this issue all the time, because you suggested that marina's gender is male in many places in this game, but I always insist that Marina is female, and I look forward to your reply.
Hi! It's a highly debated topic for sure. In the game she is referred with 'she' and 'her', so I'd take that as female.

hello again Orange a lover of your Fear and Hunger games and just curious on predictions. I’ve been seeing your current latest arts on Twitter and each look awesome, especially Marina. I am not expecting a free copy I just can’t wait for this great sequel to an already great horror game. Keep up the great work, have fun, and don’t stress yourself out.
How many of your fans are your customers, one would expect the numbers to be closely aligned no? I would hope they were the same.
Of course I'd love the game to leave a lasting impression to most people, but since I don't hear anything from the vast majority of people who bought the game, I wouldn't know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mac and RPG Maker games are in a constant war. You have to manually give the folders the rights.
Hi guys im starting a playthrough of the demo attempting not to die once i kinda suck but check me out if youd like too
Bit of advice for post content, since you did quite a bit for F&H 1. Randomizer, for both normal and key items. It completely changes the feel of every game.
I wonder what sexy actions you are planing to add to Termina. The original F&H had quite of bit of it))
The issue would happen in other occasions as well but it was fixed. then, after a while, I also found out what you just described (about 8 months ago) but to me it only happened if I tried to enter the mirror world "after" the first time. meaning in each playthrough, entering the underground other world was fine the first time (when you had to) but it gave me the black screen every time after I got the key, and not only THAT specific other world, but every other world in the demo after that.

It used to happen randomly after some battles or, if an enemy miraculously touched you and engaged combat while the heroin animation was happening
Hello, hello! Have a happy new year and don't stress it. everyone got held back for reasons the past year!

How come you cannot shoot Needles on the field (he's immune), but during combat I can blast his head off if I'm lucky enough to hit?
I just want to say this game is so good. There is a bug that kinda corrupted my game but it's still playable if i close it and open it up again. This bug involves going into the tunnel then teleporting a place that looks like the workshop (i forgot it's name) then getting out by climbing the ladder. This results in me getting a blackscreen but I am still able to hear audio and look in the menu please fix this bug.
i feel like there should be more craftables in this game, like a nail bomb makeshift shields etc
This game reminds me of Silent Hill a little, also Bloodborne. My anxiety doesn't let me play it after a few minutes though...
You have to steel your heart and be ready to die a couple of dozen times till you get the flow of the game :P the first game used to be much more unfair (only recently the lucky coin was added to the first game as well, to help the players).

Is there supposed to be only darkness when you enter the maiden forest? If no, any hints on how I make it so I can see what's going on? Thank you
hmmm, it appears the "darkness" bug is still around. I had Darkness when I revisited the maintenance tunnels for a second time
Just made this account to say that i love everything about F&H, i had gave up on horror games until i was introduced to it last year.

I defeated the janitor in the prologue, got even a bonesaw to cut off his head, but in my inventory it turned into the woodman's head. Is this a bug?
Can the "Cameo" accessory be used in anything in the demo? If it can, I might go on a hunt to find that :D
Maybe it's better to not spend too much time worrying about that item just yet...... : P
Got it! Thanks for the info because I was about to look around the whole place and interact with every woman, alive/dead or boss, to see if it belongs to them xD
I like the game idea. Keep up the good work!
Congrats, the game is looking great! I noticed a few typos, but I am guessing those will be taken care of later.
I got a bug of sorts: when playing as Daan, right after recruiting Marina, I went to the west wagon to see the little scene with Samarie. She wasn't there, but the door looked like it was open, When I tried to interact with it, the text said it was locked.
Have you ever thought about having female ghouls as an option? That lady in the bridal dress would make a badass one.
Can I make one suggestion? When you read books time still flows which can cause hunger to increase and sanity to decrease so is there anyway to stop this or decrease it or is it just a side effect of reading books? I love the lore and really like the longer lore books like Alll-Mer's skin bible but if its going to tank my stats I might have to pass on reading them in certain situations.
I second that. I find myself just spamming through the info of books at times just to conserve some hunger and mind
Yeah this has been very requested feature and makes total sense. I'm on it!
Thanks and can't wait to play the full game!
Party corpses will often not spawn properly after their deaths.
Such as if they die from starvation, there corpse will not spawn.
huh.... I let my party members die of starvation twice, just to see what Per'kele says on each number possible in the demo, and that didn't happen to me. must be a rare one, good find!
I'm guessing you are playing v2.3? There was a bug in spawning the dead bodies (as well as some other sprites) because I updated some of the systems. It should be fine now in v.2.4 as long as you first transition to another room (there is a version fail safe in map transition) If it still happens after that, let me know!
Samarie(Dismorphia) has the Janitor's voice lines if you talk to her in combat.
Yup, that was an oversight! I fixed it in v2.4!
Somehow my game got bugged and whenever I use heroin (doesn't matter which character) the screen goes black and that's it. I can hear my footsteps walking around but I just have to restart. it doesn't matter in which area I do it...it's weird because in the same game I could normally use heroin and I dunno what triggered this. It has affected all of my saves, even older files in which I could use heroin.
EDIT: It happened after I made Levi take heroin and, while he was doing the injection animation, a bobby engaged in combat (enemies take a bit to come to a full stop when the animation starts). after I finished combat, the character models became invisible while on the field and, after I reloaded to fix that, It would completely go dark when I tried to use heroin (even when I completely closed the game and restarted it)
EDIT 2 : I watched the experience of a youtube creator trying the new classes. He also had 2.3. The glitch of blackness happened to him without the conditions that I mentioned in the first Edit of this post. That means it's probably not what triggers it. He gave Levi the heroin right in front of the mayor, game went black, he talked to him, text and dialogue options were visible, he started the fight, he won the fight, game returned to normal. so it gets fixed after an encounter, I guess?
It's a weird glitch. By using heroine I can trigger the black screen. If I start combat and win, my screen will no longer be black, but the party is invisible and I can't open my menu.
However this isn't the only way I've found to make the party invisible, sometimes just fighting enemies inside the old city will trigger the invisible party glitch. I haven't found a way to fix the invisible party glitch personally.
This guy gets the blackness glitch, fights the mayor and afterwards the party is visible (it's near the end of the video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o5Y8WeZUqQ maybe invisibility chance after combat is 50/50
Thats actually because I cut to a previous save then fought the boss without using heroin. When I use it though same things happen and I can't open the menu either.
ooooh, my bad then!
No problem! Sometimes I forget to mention certain cuts i make😅
It should be now fixed in v2.4. I updated some of the base systems in v2.3 and there was one attribute that only got set in the beginning of the game, if you continued with a save from an older build, that attribute was never set. In v2.4 I made a fail safe if you transition to another room, this way the attribute is set.
Thank you so much for the update!
-Is it supposed to be eternal night after the night of the third day?
-2 of the bobbies die forever, I dunno if that is intended because every other bobby gets up. The two that die are, the second bobby of the first screen in the city (His head gets automatically cut for some reason) and the other one is the first you encounter in the area with the shooter on the truck.
-Sometimes, when you kill the first priest you encounter after you pick up the keys of the church and the sewers, the second encounter appears already dead. This is random.
And another little question. can the riddle you can find be solved at the moment? If not I will jsut leave it for the full release. Something something, golden in the morning. It's like a crossword
Bobbies can be perma-killed quite easily. Those two bobbies are just glitched that when they die their head is removed. I won't spoil how to kill Bobbies since it's quite the experience repeatedly killing the same Bobbies before they finally wear you down and kill you, repeatedly, to figure out their every weakness. Though I will inform you about one weakness/strength.
Bobbies heads are not vulnerable in combat unless both the legs are destroyed and you've used the talk action to ask them why the law is in effect and that they serve and protect the people.
After doing that the head will be vulnerable to attacks but it won't display the vulnerable mark when it's vulnerable.
I figured out what perma kills them ^^ also, my strategy with bobbies is take out arms then go straight for the body xD I am a simple man! (Of course I use a full party for that)
Yeah it's eternal night in day 3. I plan on having something else later on, but for the demo this will have to do...
aah, ok! At least I know it's not a bug ^_^
