That is so much information to go off of thank you, here is the solution to your problem.
step one, what device are you playing on.
step two, try multiple ways of installing.
Step three, Don’t use a 3rd party app.
Step four, if on ChromeBook Use the terminal to install.
If all else fails, give up and go home, It just wasn’t meant to be.
Ok. I am having a problem. I tried downloading the public version for PC, but it says that the zipped folder is empty and I can't extract it. Was this some April Fools' prank orr..
I'll check it out (I think we spoke via discord), but most likely I will just update the public version in a day or two with version 2.0.9. It contains a boatload of improvement, fixes and QOL improvements.
I have the same problem...from what I read it is because the .apk is over 2GB and almost every android device has upper limit for installing .apk set as 2GB...from what I heard some devices have not this problem, but it could be that the manufacturer of the divice got rid of this limitation (but I might be wrong in this assumption)
All android devices have a 2GB limit for apk’s but you can change that limit by going into your developer settings. you can not change this limit if you are useing a 3rd party service. on ChromeBook it is much simpler to change the limit, just simply change your linux storage, it sets it to 5GB default and will ask you to change it on set up. on phone/tablet it is more complex. do not come back to me for help, I just hate how everyone does not know how to use Android. It’s not that hard, like how old are you? 60?
i have the latest verision of the game (free one on steam) and it seems that the game just ends for some reason when i rest or sleep before i even finish everything. like im 8/20 or something on mai and have not even fought the wind dude yet.
so i wanna support you game i played it on steam and i realy like it i have one problem i am dutch and i use paypall too buy game i dont have a credit card can i pay you in other way goes i realy wanna have the game in the last version avaible
oo oke well then i am sad too hear that goes like i said i cant realy get the game then goes i dont own a credit card so i understand is there maby other ways too get the game like with steam or maby patreon or something thanks for reply back by the way
So far it’s a fun game, but I have to say I’m feeling a bit lost and like there is a lack of guidance. For one, I’m still not sure what specifically lets me have a breakthrough (if it’s based on stats or purely on the amount of Qi I have.) Events are also a bit too lose. I keep seeing stuff being referenced that hasn’t happened yet when just chatting with characters, and I don’t even feel like I’m pushing relationships hard.
Hello! Thanks for the feedback. Most of those issues are related to a public version that hasn't been updated for a bit - for example out of order events. Those events are fixed now (project wise - they have been for months ) but typically occurred when players didn't progress with their breakthrough beyond a certain date. As far as requirements for breakthroughs, eventually you come to learn the specifics of what's required for each - but the early ranks simply require you to have enough qi and then to convert it (via the meditation screen).
If you have any questions about other aspects of the game, you can view the in game help menu. It explains info about the game's various aspects.
Ah, thank you for the explanation. I will probably grab the up to date version then if it’s such a big difference. And yeah, I was probably a bit confused because there were so many things to learn and I chose to play this game late at night. So I was a bit slow to pick up on those things.
My Big Little Brother it seems that i can not progress in the game even tho my forest is already lvl 7 but when i talk to mai it does not progress pls fix TT
Hello! You should try doing various things (for example, unrelated stuff to combat). Sometimes you just need to trigger other events. As far as fixing the game, I actually work on it constantly - I just haven't updated the public version (yet). Hopefully soon. The version you're playing *does* allow you to progress beyond the point you mention. (At least, if you're playing an official version of the game.)
Hi my big little brother, i need help with the stat percentages. I understand that, the stats decrease after each rest and each stat chi infuse. However, the stat won't increase anymore after hitting 0% once. Is that a bug? Thank you for the game!
I noticed this as well (currently playing through the game and preparing for the next chapter). I'll look into it and once I sort it out, I'll update the versions of the project.
I've noticed that the counter doesn't update properly until you train a certain amount. You should still be accumulating bonuses, but for some reason it doesn't display properly. Should be a simple fix - I'll try to sort it out soon.
Is it possible to ask for a walkthrough? I'm not gonna lie the first time I played this game a few months ago I got absolutely lost and didn't know how to progress after fulfilling the requirements for the first qi gather quest.
It's on my list of things to do, however as a solo dev it's fallen behind on my priorities. There are some in game prompts to explain next steps, however.
Hey I'm having a really bad time understanding the first quest which is convert 1,300 qi. But I have converted 1,300 qi and the quest doesn't change is there something wrong, btw those are the things I tried
Talking to mai
Going all over the place
Please tell me what's wrong. If is a bug then please how do I fix it?
I've been keeping late nights, so sorry for the late response. You need to have 1,300 converted qi - then use the option to Convert Gathered Qi again. This will trigger your breakthrough. In later versions, it will be fixed so that the button shows "Breakthrough" instead, but for now that's how you trigger each Breakthrough.
Oh thank you, but also that's why I'm still in emerald rank also rn I have the free versions, I don't really want to pay for it, but I know if there's a new version the old paid versions will be free. Thank you
It's a bit difficult to improve the forest's level in the current public version, but basically just gather, do battles and raise the environment's level by feeding qi into it.
I just noticed it. You're not the only person this has happened to. You'll need to buy the game at ATLEAST 9.09$ (current price after the 30% off). I'll start the refund process, but it does take 5-10 days to go through. Edit : Refund is done.
When you go to purchase, it's set to 9.09 by default, so unless you change it manually it shouldn't cause an issue. I've already refunded both amounts.
How does the fight mechanics work ? It just feels like I'm pressing some stances and they work only based on luck (I'm sure that's not the case and I'm just bad)
For the hpc version for android not running, have you thought about making two files one for the apk and a separate for assets (that would need to be installed manually)?
Ren'py packages the files , the bulk of file size comes from visual assets. The only real way to lower the file size at this point is to decrease the # of images placed into the game. I've already condensed them as much as possible without sacrificing visuals. There's not much I can do at this point and the game will only grow in size with development as well.
It describes having the game code as the apk and installing the game assets separately in another folder, though I'm no programmer this may help for making the game easier to run and update across all versions
You should consider joining the discord, I may be able to respond in a more timely fashion. To answer your question, you can craft items to give to Mai, Yenay or anyone else. These boost their affection.
All Patrons get access to the game, just at different times - you can check out the Patron benefits to learn more. If you're thinking to sign up to the cheapest version of being a Patron to get the full game, you *could* do that but it's also kind of pointless in some aspects.
If you acquire the game on itch.io, it's a single time purchase for all updates in the future - therefore it makes more sense to purchase here if you only want to pay once. Especially since, with each new release, the price on itch.io increases a bit.
The Patron page has more benefits associated with it, such as weekly giveaways, patron exclusive giveaways and some other things as well - none of which you're eligible for with the lowest tier, short of playing.
Any indie game / android file over 2 GB will give this error due to built in security features. You'd have to try using joi play to run the file. If that doesn't work, consider playing on PC.
I'm a bit confused. After some bonding I get the "consider becoming a patreon" pop-up, does this mean the scene is for patreons only or is this just to remind that patreon supports you?
I had black background that remind me that I can be a Patreon. It looks like that shows up at Events that could give me a lewd scene, that's just my speculation tho. So I was wondering if more scenes are behind a patreon wall :3
Ah ok. Maybe in response to your question I should just explain how things work with the project. It's not exactly accurate to say "pay wall", because what you're playing is a past version of the game, not something designed to lock away content.
The most recent versions are released to Patrons or those who wish to support project development. Naturally, as a result, they don't have to worry about seeing messages like this.
Eventually , at some point in the future, today's "latest version" will become available for public, while new content will be available for supporters.
Will the Public version of this game continue to be updated? I used to play a while ago but came back to see that you have to pay for the up-to-date content. I'd rather not download it at all if thats as far as it goes. Thanks!
Hello, to answer your question - nothing's changed with how I release content for this game. I've always updated the public version after new content comes out and it's always been 2 versions behind. The difference is that in the past, I'd sometimes release public versions of the game early.
There's always been an option for people who want to support the project. I don't plan on changing that as the people who *do* support the game are directly responsible for more content creation. Without them there would be no Heavenly Peaks.
does the game really end when you go to the academy? I bought the full game at 2.0.8, but the story ended before I ever got azure???!!! that was where development was a year or more ago. Is something wrong with my game?
You can acquire Azure rank through your own actions. To learn how, speak to Guobei after her 'Forecast' has been extended to you. She'll reveal the requirements. As far as development having been at that point more than a year ago - that's not possible. 2.0.8 was released a couple of months ago.
There's nothing special that you have to do to acquire Azure rank other than meet the requirements and then convert your qi. At that time you will be able to breakthrough. Also, I'm going to delete your message due to spoilers - nothing personal.

I checked this out on Steam and it's quite enjoyable! Aside from a scene taking place out of order, my only real nitpick so far is the grammar/spelling mistakes. E.g. Ellipsis being ".." instead of "..." and the lack of proper spacing being by far the most noticeable offenders. Regardless, good luck with the game and congrats on the Steam release!
Winning fights will increase the ambient qi you have. You can choose to either absorb it or infuse it into the Zone you're currently in. This will level up the zone.
So it takes 3 food energy to gather 1 food that gives 1 energy back? The game is actually unplayable or the "tutorial is ass" .
edit. so apparently after going into the data and restarting resting gives it back now. it wouldnt even let me rest beforehand saying i need sustenance
I think I understand where you are. Essentially, you can recuperate while meditating. This will restore your health and qi. This is a bit different from sleeping or resting.
Resting (outside of meditation, from the bed menu) is how you recover.

I just purchased the game, after finishing installation it's says: "App appears invalid"?!
That is so much information to go off of thank you, here is the solution to your problem. step one, what device are you playing on. step two, try multiple ways of installing. Step three, Don’t use a 3rd party app. Step four, if on ChromeBook Use the terminal to install. If all else fails, give up and go home, It just wasn’t meant to be.

I'll check it out (I think we spoke via discord), but most likely I will just update the public version in a day or two with version 2.0.9. It contains a boatload of improvement, fixes and QOL improvements.
I installed 2.0.8 PC and I can't talk to Mai in the hut after the spying on the green enemy in the forest
figured it out
Oh, somehow I missed this. Glad you sorted it out though. I think I've fixed that particular issue in the coming update.
I've tried installing
HPC 2.0.8 {Android} version, but it keeps saying "App not installed since package seem to be invalid". Public version seems to be working.
I have the same problem...from what I read it is because the .apk is over 2GB and almost every android device has upper limit for installing .apk set as 2GB...from what I heard some devices have not this problem, but it could be that the manufacturer of the divice got rid of this limitation (but I might be wrong in this assumption)
How do you fix that
All android devices have a 2GB limit for apk’s but you can change that limit by going into your developer settings. you can not change this limit if you are useing a 3rd party service. on ChromeBook it is much simpler to change the limit, just simply change your linux storage, it sets it to 5GB default and will ask you to change it on set up. on phone/tablet it is more complex. do not come back to me for help, I just hate how everyone does not know how to use Android. It’s not that hard, like how old are you? 60?
i have the latest verision of the game (free one on steam) and it seems that the game just ends for some reason when i rest or sleep before i even finish everything. like im 8/20 or something on mai and have not even fought the wind dude yet.
Sounds correct!
What's the issue you're having?
so i wanna support you game i played it on steam and i realy like it i have one problem i am dutch and i use paypall too buy game i dont have a credit card can i pay you in other way goes i realy wanna have the game in the last version avaible
My apologies, just saw this. Stripe is the only other payment processor I use, because Paypal does some shady business. XD
oo oke well then i am sad too hear that goes like i said i cant realy get the game then goes i dont own a credit card so i understand is there maby other ways too get the game like with steam or maby patreon or something thanks for reply back by the way
Understandable, thanks for your support / interest, regardless.

How to change languages or add translations?
This is something I haven't had the chance to do just yet. Another thing to add to my long list of TO DO's

I am sure I already triggered the refund when it happened, you should have it back in a few days (it takes up to 10).
how do you "search for traces of the creature" i keep gathering but it doesn’t do anything
It's a bit difficult to improve the forest's level in the current public version, but basically just gather, do battles and raise the environment's level by feeding qi into it.
ok thx great game btw
Np
Is the game still getting public update
Yep!
I just noticed it.
You're not the only person this has happened to.
You'll need to buy the game at ATLEAST 9.09$ (current price after the 30% off).
I'll start the refund process, but it does take 5-10 days to go through.
Edit : Refund is done.
thanks it starts at just $9
Also are you refunding both?
When you go to purchase, it's set to 9.09 by default, so unless you change it manually it shouldn't cause an issue.
I've already refunded both amounts.
thanks
can i get a refund for the 9$
Refunded it hours ago, but it generally takes 5-10 days to show up in your bank account.
how do i unlock the event in the middle row all the way to the right? ive played through all the content so far but im missing that one somehow
If you haven't unlocked it so far - then it's not accessible currently.
i bought the game full price a while ago hope that money helps at least a little bit.
How does the fight mechanics work ? It just feels like I'm pressing some stances and they work only based on luck (I'm sure that's not the case and I'm just bad)
Is the end of vigroth fight all the content you have for 2.0.8? running on mac OS. I just got a end message see you at the academy
How do I unlock bonding? I have Mai to 100% affection and theres no option for bonding.
The only options that I have are either to gift or talk
Just advance the story a bit more.
Speak to Syphii.
For the hpc version for android not running, have you thought about making two files one for the apk and a separate for assets (that would need to be installed manually)?

For what im referring to Here is an article for an android build from another game .
Lucky paradox android build
It describes having the game code as the apk and installing the game assets separately in another folder, though I'm no programmer this may help for making the game easier to run and update across all versions
Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into it.
hey i havent played in awhile how do i break my bottleneck?
Hello, just continue progressing the story. Bottlenecks reset as you breakthrough.
thanks for that i was abit confused but i have another question i would like to ask how do i get the 90 affection for the treatment?
You should consider joining the discord, I may be able to respond in a more timely fashion.
To answer your question, you can craft items to give to Mai, Yenay or anyone else. These boost their affection.
Does 2 $ patreon have the patreon version of the game or is it just to support ?

I had black background that remind me that I can be a Patreon. It looks like that shows up at Events that could give me a lewd scene, that's just my speculation tho. So I was wondering if more scenes are behind a patreon wall :3
It's probably better if you show me which scenes , you can take a screenshot by pressing 'S'.
This. and another one. They come when it feels like a scene should come but then this pops up and then nothing. I was just wondering.

Thanks for the heads up. If you could, report it as well. I've already done so but there's no telling when / if it will be seen.
That looks like it could also be malware to damage someone's computer based on the file size.
reported as soon as I saw it.

No paypal? Kinda weird my guy
It's against paypal's TOS to sell anything with adult content in it.
It has less to do with me and more to do with them.
I've seen plenty of games on itch.io use paypal for their primary payments
I know what other games do - it's just against Paypal's TOS. I have no desire to bother with it.
I have recipe but i don't know how make alchemy
The crafting is on the left side of the Hut. Once you meet Yenay then you will be able to craft at any time.
i dont know how to breakthrough out of the emerald spark
Hi, you just need to progress the story further as it's a story event.
Hope that helps!
Yep it did
The gallery is all still images instead of animated. Is this normal?
Yes, that's normal for the image gallery.
So it takes 3 food energy to gather 1 food that gives 1 energy back? The game is actually unplayable or the "tutorial is ass" .
edit. so apparently after going into the data and restarting resting gives it back now. it wouldnt even let me rest beforehand saying i need sustenance
