In some of my saves, the game returns to the beginning, in others an error appears. I tried to restart the game and I get this message after talking to the owner of the cheapest inn (the same thing happens to me in another save)
Fixed the error, was changing some stuff and accidentally broke it lol.
About the saves... it may break if you save at the state page or if you enter stat page, leave it and save then without advancing to a new page/making a choice. I'm working on locking the save function during these times, but for now there is nothing I can do =(
Hii! I've encountered a bug in the new version where when you attempt to save (while playing in browser) and then load back to said save, the game immediately freezes. After refreshing the website, the game resets, your save is still there, however the same bug happens when trying to load again. It seems to do the same when downloading it, however when you download it, the game will not acknowledge your save and will not load it.
Did you save during stat page / after you opened stat page and haven't clicked 'next page' or made a choice?
Sadly due to how stat page works in CS, saves tend to break if you do so. I'm working on trying to prevent you from saving during these moments, but it'll take me some time
I saved during a choice, so thats probably why. I tried again after restarting the game and the same issue still occured. Thank you for the reply!! ^^ also I'm not sure if this only happens for mobile as that's what I'm using.
A great start to something that could (have) be(en) terribly ambitious. The sheer amount of world building done to create a background of characters, places, factions, artifacts and relations which never appear but are mentioned in passing, is enormous. Unfortunately, it also suffers from some serious flaws:
Given CoG's bizarre obsession with not wanting to make ChoiceScript user-friendly, a back-button and the ability to export saves were always pretty much out of the question.
<SPOILERS>
The game isn't consistent about whether Tigress is from the East or from the West.
If you hope that Tigress is okay after getting injured during the Outer Disciple tournament, the game says you can challenge Long Wyoung. But if you then go to the Arena Administrative Building, it says you can only issue ranked challenges, not personal ones.
The game tells you the Ro Hui/Hyi is the "Mistress/Little Demon Queen", but then doesn't give you any options acknowledging this (You can only either go along with them apparently without recognizing them, or you can express disinterest in the disciples' lives without recognizing them).
</SPOILERS>
"There is no right and wrong. Justice is upheld by man, and fairness is a made-up concept for the weak to soothe their aches."
Ooh yikes. Methinks somebody's been hitting the Nietzsche, Foucault and Le Guin a bit too hard. Quick repeat after me:
The Dao that can be spoken of, is not The Eternal Dao. The Name that can be spoken of, is not The Eternal Name.
I'm pretty sure the match with Long Chen's brother just hasn't been implemented yet. Not exactly a flaw.
When does the game tell you that Ro Hyi is the Little Demon Queen? MC is only suspicious about their mask in their initial meeting but realizes something was truly wrong when they encounter the pile of corpses in the cave and sees Ro Hyi among the list of dead disciples. I might be misremembering this detail though, perhaps the game did namedrop her true identity.
If the game tells you that you can now challenge Long Wyoung, while you can't actually do so in the current build, then I would call that a (small) flaw in the current build, since that line could have just been commented out until it gets updated.
If you pass a check (INT iirc, but I'm not clicking through the whole game to make sure :p) with the correct degree of success, when she tries to convince MC to follow her to the cave, then MC lists several similarities between Ro Huy/Hyi and the "Mistress/Little Demon Queen" (e.g. androgynous, wears mask to hide deformed face, etc.). So that comparison strongly suggests to me that MC recognizes her suspects her identity.
The save function in this is very temperamental, as others have said when you go to the info screen for Characters the Save data gets stuck inside that menu regardless of if you saved in that menu or not. Meaning whenever you load the game you will load in that menu and never be able to get out of it, essentially breaking the game.
This has happened multiple times to me now and it's very aggravating. I can't keep restarting the game all over again just because the save system is broken so I'll just wait until the game is much further along that it currently is in development in the hopes it gets fixed x-x
Or you can just try to be careful of when you save and try not to use the character menu alot🤷🏽♂️cause i doubt its gonna get fixed any time soon since its a problem that happens on other games to
I dunno if the comment is meant to be rude or not but it's coming across that way.
I was already being careful, as I said it's happened multiple times across 4 different restarts. It doesn't matter how long I wait between changing screens the saves will break no matter what. I could've saved over 5+ mins ago and it will still do it.
If it's a problem with the program itself and will never be fixed, fine. I'll just wait until the game if finished so it's stable, it's what I was going to do anyway if the issue persisted in future versions.
Is there a way to export save data? Also when i load, it went to relationship menu, tried to return to game, still in menu section. Cannot resume the story
hiya not meaning to bother but i must know is it even possible to beat the arrogant prince Tang Ruo in the tournament with trash talent? and when i say beat i mean survive till our body push pass limits to ascend to houtain level. anyway great game will keep trying with trash talent either way cause underdog love from me!
I think probably you need to at least 8 agility & constitution + 3 perception, so you need at least 20exp in the beginning, which, thankfully you can get even with trash talent.
With those you should be able to survive the previous competitions & advance to Tang Ruo, after which I think you’ll be able to endure.
When he tries to hit your leg, it won’t break, after that when you wants to hit you again you lean away from it, then you say you won’t surrender, yada yada yada. You get the gist of it.
I haven’t tried it so I don’t know.
Battle sense would probably also be good to have, if possible.
Well thanks so much for pointing me in right direction! so hard to believe but i managed to beat Tang Ruo with trash level talent in the tournament! but the combination i used was strength 3, agility 8, constitution 1, vitality 10, perception 1, and i used 22 exp and 5.5 points to to get that plus regeneration and good-looking plus ambidextrous. used random checks and saved the robes special ability fathers love for Tang Rou and boom won 1st place so nearly gotta get a perfect in the first two fights and then semi perfect in final fight Really Really lucky and a little of save scumming! idk other combinations tho. (didnt believe it myself so did it again before i comment peace and love)
Awesome, I tried a couple things but got tired tbh, I might end up using your method some time.
I already got as far as the game goes rn but next update I’ll probably start over, in which case, I also really like underdog characters so I’ll probably make one of those.
I adore MCs who have trash talent but then become better than everyone & OP & all that.
I made my current character a woman, called her Wu Xiu, & mainly been making her a very neutral very honorable type who is polite, seems sweet, but is cunning.
Once this game is complete & there is a lot more content I’ll probably start exploring a lot.
I’d love to make multiple different characters with very different personalities.
Btw, I’d also recommend trying out Uroboros, there is only one chapter out & its on itch. Its not really related to this game in any way nor similar but I found it fun.
i cant save my game cant delete i cant do anything basically i cant save or load after a mistake i do so once my character dies i cant load the save it says Error: Bad slot-has Smplugin been included? it happens on the Web version of the game which was the only thing that made me quit the game since i cant load or delete a save that is not working at all but the game by itself is good i dont know if its only me with this problem hope its fixed
Best solution is a download. On device saves don't disappear unless the end user screws up, many end users (myself included) don't bother with anything that we can't download for exactly that reason as well as a dozen others.
I have a question in what sense is the library, arena, etc. A free roam if the story advances based on days and time progression? Or can I still continue playing the game after I've finished all the events in the current update
Great game, keep it up! I'd like to see more updates in the future. I hope you'll be able to keep making more content for this game. I really like it! : 3
Edit: Please Implement or somehow apply free roam to the game please if only it is possible and not too bothersome for you
i waited a bit to actually play and i started yesterday but i had been following this game by some time now to actually play something better than a small demo otherwise i will get anxious if the game is really good edit im playing and its very good
there's a suggestion from me, add curvy body(big bossom and bust) from character creation which increase charm also i wanted to ask this is there NSFW stuff or being planned?
Damn, sorry it took me this long to answer this. Must've missed the notification ;( No, no NSFW stuff as I'm not big on the erotica-writing and the like.
Man, I really want to see the continuation of this.
Maybe there could be some "fortuitous" encounters ; ) or maybe dangerous situations you can opt out of like secret tombs that give the chance to aquire something if you solve a riddle, make the right choices or solve a puzzle; you could get some martial arts, artifacts, or a simple upgrade to your atributes.
It's just a sugestion, what you have done to this point is really cool and I would love to see what it leads to.

Amazing game. It was fun and can't wait for more.
Well aside from the bugs and reducing few free roam places
It was fun as always
CAnt w8 for the next season

Maybe you had random rolls on
Made it available for download =)
Which tattoo do you guys think will have the most impact in future fights?

recognizes hersuspects her identity.I actually cooked up a feature to export saves now! Very experimental, but it seems to work for now
That's awesome, thank you!
I screamed when I saw this. I haven't played it yet in itch, except for dashingdon... and I'm hella excited to see what this is!!!!!
That was...interesting end...

Sorry if i came across that way i was just trying to give a helping hand cause the issue your talking about doesn't happen to me that often.
It only happens to me if I open the menu and save while on the same page.👍🏽
Is there a way to export save data? Also when i load, it went to relationship menu, tried to return to game, still in menu section. Cannot resume the story
Make sure to not enter the menu section whenever saving or else when u load the save it will take u to the menu where you'll be stuck
Am i able to reach middle houtian before I talk to the talking panda?
(spoilers)
If you're on good-to-neutral terms with Mei, she'll give you a certain task where you'll have to kill someone.Agree to help her out with her scheme, and she’ll give you a pill that will let you break through to middle.
Very well written game,i'm eager to see the future of it
Are there any other opponents to face in the arena besides the old man?
hiya not meaning to bother but i must know is it even possible to beat the arrogant prince Tang Ruo in the tournament with trash talent? and when i say beat i mean survive till our body push pass limits to ascend to houtain level. anyway great game will keep trying with trash talent either way cause underdog love from me!

Game has been updated
https://dashingdon.com/play/nickydicky/path-of-martial-arts-the-beginning/mygame/
Okay I gotta stop replaying this, I'm getting obsessed here 💀
Understandable though lol, It is fun.
I made my current character a woman, called her Wu Xiu, & mainly been making her a very neutral very honorable type who is polite, seems sweet, but is cunning.
Once this game is complete & there is a lot more content I’ll probably start exploring a lot.

Btw, I’d also recommend trying out Uroboros, there is only one chapter out & its on itch. Its not really related to this game in any way nor similar but I found it fun.
Interesting concept
Is this being continued?
I loved it.. can't wait for The next update. 🥰💖
i cant save my game cant delete i cant do anything basically i cant save or load after a mistake i do so once my character dies i cant load the save it says Error: Bad slot-has Smplugin been included? it happens on the Web version of the game which was the only thing that made me quit the game since i cant load or delete a save that is not working at all but the game by itself is good i dont know if its only me with this problem hope its fixed
You can use think link, saves work fine here ;)
I'll see what I can do about the itch io version though
https://dashingdon.com/play/nickydicky/path-of-martial-arts-the-beginning/mygame...
Thank you, it works. i will start playing again today, there are many things i missed out after that bug appeared for me. =D
No clue what a "think link" bs is.
Best solution is a download. On device saves don't disappear unless the end user screws up, many end users (myself included) don't bother with anything that we can't download for exactly that reason as well as a dozen others.
Good luck, though.
Yeaahhh.... tried the link, but still no download. Not gonna waste anymore time on crap I cant save.
I'm out.
you might want to update it here too.
I will, probs tomorrow though. Itch io updates are delayed by 2-3 days, so that I can fix all the bugs first
I really enjoy this game 😺
It would be nice if there was a option to spend time with "the love interests" and make your relationship with them grow :)
Thanks ;)
Apk? My save file deleted after browsers closed
No can do, sadly ;(
Choicescript doesn't include a save feature. You can try the dashingdon version, it should have persistent saves
For some reason i cant save
And it say something is missing
(the deleted replys of similar timing are me trying to add a screenshot)
Should be fixed, I think.
The ONLY fix is a download, all other solutions wipe everyones saves every time you update it.
Technical limitation, it just is what it is.
I love this game and appreciate u and all the work u put into it while giving 5 star service keep the amazing work up❤
what changed?
Oh damn, my bad, I forgot to publish the devlog haha. +20k words and 3 new events =)
yay
Can u please post version 3.0 on dashingdon I'd appreciate that🙏
Posted the link to dashingdon in the description. It's constant and will work for all updates =)
I have a question in what sense is the library, arena, etc. A free roam if the story advances based on days and time progression? Or can I still continue playing the game after I've finished all the events in the current update
Answered it on tumblr, haha!
Thanks! :3 I just finished your game btw and it's really good even if it's just the demo it got me craving for more lol
The Discord Invitation link is expired just letting you know @NickyDicky
Fixed it, thanks!
Great game, keep it up! I'd like to see more updates in the future. I hope you'll be able to keep making more content for this game. I really like it! : 3
Edit: Please Implement or somehow apply free roam to the game please if only it is possible and not too bothersome for you
i waited a bit to actually play and i started yesterday but i had been following this game by some time now to actually play something better than a small demo otherwise i will get anxious if the game is really good edit im playing and its very good
Can you please give us the option to continue our current game?
What do you mean by 'continue' our current game exactly? As in give you 'free roam' time after the current timeline ends?
Yes.
what a refreshing story tagged adult game.
there's a suggestion from me, add curvy body(big bossom and bust) from character creation which increase charm also i wanted to ask this is there NSFW stuff or being planned?
Damn, sorry it took me this long to answer this. Must've missed the notification ;(
No, no NSFW stuff as I'm not big on the erotica-writing and the like.
Man, I really want to see the continuation of this.
Maybe there could be some "fortuitous" encounters ; ) or maybe dangerous situations you can opt out of like secret tombs that give the chance to aquire something if you solve a riddle, make the right choices or solve a puzzle; you could get some martial arts, artifacts, or a simple upgrade to your atributes.
It's just a sugestion, what you have done to this point is really cool and I would love to see what it leads to.
Fortuitous encounters are a must hehe.
Thanks!
Is there a way to save the game cos whenever i exit the browser the saves get deleted
You can try this link for now (CoG version). I'll try to cook something up in the future updates for this version. Sorry took me so long to reply ;(
