darn shower thoughts... wouldn't it be funny if after you unlocked it... that if in the main game modes... if you launched yourself high enough like absurdly high you get to play the space minigame for free
Hello, I've been playing your game since 3.0 version, today I just donwloaded the 5.0 version and I was about to play, my pc turn off because of low battery, when i turned it back on, I closed the game for safety, then when I wanted to play the game again, the exe file that opens the game wasn't there
I've tried to re-extract the game from the Winrar and this appeared on my screen:
update: I've tried to reinstall it then i extracted the file from the donwloads part and it worked, now I have to start all over from the scratch but it doesn't matter, I can speedrun it, keep up the good work dude :)
update 2: hello, I have bad news, remember the issue about the exe file that runs the game disappears from the file that I've mentioned before? It happened again, please I really need your help now, I don't know what is going on, this issue didn't happen to me on the previous versions :(
Final Update: Hi, while I did what you told me to do, I found the main issue, all along it was my blasted antivirus that was manifesting itself, that was the reason why the exe file was vanishing every time, now that the issue has been found, I made some configurations and on the "exceptions" part of my antivirus I've added the file that i have created that includes the whole game file, so now it's marked as "safe to play", now I'll head back to speedrunning all the achievements that I had before, thanks for the help anyways :D
From now on, I'll be posting my records by the time I start the yeeting time
bruh its 3 am i cant let go of this and im not even a hololive regular watcher or even remember activelly watching a stream, this just so good and im so endeared by everything ah so good
There should be something to enhance the playability of the 'space' stage, as it is very repetitive and doesn't offer any advantage for extending gameplay... it would be nice if there was something more exciting. Here are some ideas I thought of: asteroids of different sizes and positions (which would give different points based on their size), a points increase based on the duration of the game (like a 10% increase every 10 km), and a final boss (!!!) at a certain distance (like at 60 km).
Space was thought as a side minigame to spend excess Hope Stones and do some rng rolls to eventually get the upgrades. It's not meant to be a full game on its own. However, I'll see if I can expand it a bit in the future to make it more enjoyable.
I don't know if I'm the only one, but the game is completely bugged out on browser. It loads completely, I get the Unity sign and your logo, but after that I get a black screen. I would love to keep playing your game, so I hope there is a fix to it! Thank you for all the effort you keep putting into it.
I'm using Google Chrome. I've always used Google Chrome to play on Itch and this game, but this is the first time the black screen shows up. I tried the CTRL + F5 combination, but after loading again it still shows black.
The browser console doesn't show any error messages.
I cleared the cache by going into Chrome settings and it worked! However, I did lose my save data.
I'm sorry about your savefile! Hmm... at this point I can only think that the savefile somehow got corrupted and the game gets stuck waiting to read a value it never finds. I'll check the save file loading code and see if I can add some safeguard against unexpected corrupted data.
Edit: One more question: When the game got stuck on the black screen, was it before or after it shows chibiRyS downloading screen?
There is just one thing that would make it perfect: usually in this type of game, it’s possible to upgrade the 'launcher' by increasing its strength, accuracy, and the height of the launch platform, allowing you to reach higher speeds and greater distances more quickly as you level up.
I’m tired of hitting bae 70% of the time right after the launch! :-D
I decided not to include upgrades to the initial launch because its effect on the overall score is minimal.
I think the launcher games that give the option to upgrade the initial launch only have the player interact at the start of the run and the rest of the flight is mostly watching things happen and pray to be lucky. This game is different. The character boosts you get along the way as well as your own boost strategy are what determine your final distance.
Oh and Bae right after the launch is intended. However, when you retry, she should be in a different spot. :)
Buenas, descubrí recientemente varias cosas: He notado que algunos objetos no tienen su descripción total: Kiara en el yeeting gym, que no sale que tiene un 80% de probabilidad de darte el "Renacer" También la nueva actualización del Lucky Dice Max no tiene la descripción de el mayor spawn, no aparece en la Oficina de investigación y me parece que tampoco en las partidas. Y un BUG enorme en el modo del espacio, cuando te quedas sin combustible, si le das a Pausar y luego a Continuar, te deja seguir jugando
This update is awesome and I especially enjoy The Cell. Sadly I can't say the same about Space mode. The mode is fine gameplay-wise but feels unrewarding and demotivating currently. Progressing is extremely slow. I imagine that is the point considering the powerful permanent upgrades to gain, but the amounts and frequency at which you gain points make it hard to want to play it. Prior to writing this, I did 3 runs which lasted between 4-5 minutes each, and only gained 30 points. Comparing that to the final upgrade needing 8300 is demoralizing especially considering this mode has a buy-in to play it.
I think the asteroids dropping some amount of points when broken will go a long way towards feeling like you are still progressing if your luck with Sana isn't great.
Otherwise, the game is great and it has been my favorite way to idle since you released it on mobile. I'm glad you are continuing to update it after so long!
I agree that currently Space mode is very luck based and not much progress is felt if the player has a bad rng. I think your idea of having asteroids drop points could help. Maybe every X asteroids you get 1 point. I'll do some testing and see what number I come with.
The high cost of the final upgrade is because these are supposed to be "end game" upgrades and should take a relatively long time and multiple play sessions to obtain them. On the other hand, the first couple of upgrades are much cheaper to allow more players to access them (relatively) quickly. I think in my tests I unlocked the first one in less than 2 hours of "spacing".
I've seen a player already unlock the 3rd upgrade and it's been less than a week since the update dropped, so I guess they play Space a lot more and/or are luckier with their wheel spins. XD
i don't watch hololive, but it was still pretty fun! i wish you could disable the animations/cutscenes when interacting with the characters, though... does get annoying getting interrupted every second when going at really fast speeds.
Hmm... I think the animations are the charm point of the game, but I see why they can get annoying in certain moments of the game when they trigger very often. I'll think about adding some kind of setting to disable them. No promises, though!
Hello, I enjoyed the game's 4.0 update, but the new update doesn't seem to be loading. It fills the little loading IRyS then turns to a black screen. If I fullscreen with the black screen, it just shows a completed loading bar but doesn't do anything. (I've been on the screen for an hour now.) playing on browser if that helps. Thx in advance
That's unusual. Could you provide more details to see if we can find the problem? What browser are you using? CPU model, Memory and GPU will also help.
Also, have you tried forcing refresh with a clean cache? Usually is CTRL+F5
A screenshot of the browser console can also help me understand where the problem may be if there are any error messages showing there (usually in red).
It is available but it's being deployed progressively, not for all devices at once. If I don't see any stability issues in a few hours it should go to everyone later in the day.
Hi, I was curious (and sorry if this question has been asked alot) but is there any plans to put this game on steam. If there is, would be be under the Holoindie brand or under your personal brand. Thank you for the game and your time.
I don’t know if this is a Delivering Hope issue or an itch.io client issue, but after the update, hitting “launch” gave two identical buttons to click on. One launched the old version and the other launched the new version. I couldn’t see any way to hide or otherwise disable the old version, and even renaming its folder didn’t help. Finally I had to rename the old .exe (to not be an .exe anymore). Don’t know if this is the expected upgrade experience and it seems important given the warnings about not using the old version after the new one.
That sounds like an itch.io client issue to me. I haven't used it, so I don't know how it works, but maybe there's a refresh button somewhere? Or maybe it needs to be restarted to "forget" the old version.
About the save file corruption warning, it's mainly for versions 3 and earlier. Version 4 and 5 have some additional mechanisms to prevent corruption so it shouldn't happen.
I did try refreshing/restarting before that — it didn’t change anything, though. Not sure what the client expects from games to handle this situation, other than possibly having different names on the .exe, since it does show the file name and size on those two buttons. Maybe they expect the names to contain the version number, and they rely on the user seeing that?
Hey! I was playing your game as part of the new 5.0.0 update! I wanted to say that you did an amazing job adding the new content for things like Jailbreak mode and Space mode. I had a couple things I wanted to point out that I was thinking as a bit of a QA brain.
First of all, I wanted to point out a couple bug I was able to find. In the potions menu when you select to play standard mode, if you try to hit the X in the upper right, it doesn't close the menu out sadly.
Secondly, There are some times where in space mode even while "Sana's Beeg Wheele" is spinning or such, Ame is still moving. As a result, you can end up getting bumped by Ame in this and crashed into meteors.
Lastly, This isn't a bug but... I feel that there is a lack of like...knowing how far along I have gotten in space mode? Could there be something like an altitude tracker added or something of the sort that way i can tell how far I've gotten each time?
- I couldn't repro the X button one. Maybe some additional details will help figure out what's happening. Does this happen on the web version? If so, what browser are you using? Are you using mouse and kb or controller? Do you have a controller plugged in while playing (even if you don't use it)?
- I'll fix this in the next patch, thanks for reporting.
Thank you for the distance suggestion for the Space mode. While the goal of this mode is not to fly far, but to obtain as many points as you can to unlock the rewards, it could be interesting to add some way to keep track of how far you've gone in space. I'll think about it.
To explain further on the X button one, I dont play it on the web browser. I use mouse and keyboard to play the game of course, and no I do not have a controller plugged in.
What I exactly do is i boot the game on window 11, click play, select standard, and then try to close out of the potions menu. I have attached a gif about what that looks like. If you look closely at the bottom of the potions menu you can see how there is menus closing BEHIND the potions menu, but not the potions menu itself.
If there are further details you can think of me sharing id be more than happy to do that or meet up with you sometime.
Very interesting... I wonder if it's a Windows 11 specific issue. I can't seem to repro it on my Windows 10 machine, unfortunately.
Does it also happen when you play in the browser?
The GIF is very useful! I analyzed it frame by frame and I can see the "start" screen go up and then down in the back. I have a potential suspect for this issue but I'm not 100% sure since I can't repro locally.
From testing, it seems that the issue is NOT reproducible on browser actually. Which is very strange honestly. I also saw you put up an update for 5.0.1 and i decided to download that and test it there as well. It ALSO still happens on the downloaded version for that.
Yeah... I do have a windows 10 machine actually as well, its an older pc but it should work. Do you want me to test the same download on that machine? (Its not as high spec wise but it should be able to run the game)

Hello, I've been playing your game since 3.0 version, today I just donwloaded the 5.0 version and I was about to play, my pc turn off because of low battery, when i turned it back on, I closed the game for safety, then when I wanted to play the game again, the exe file that opens the game wasn't there
I've tried to re-extract the game from the Winrar and this appeared on my screen:
C:\Users\usuario\Desktop\Delivering Hope v5.0.4 WIN.zip: Cannot create C:\Users\usuario\Desktop\Delivering Hope\Delivering Hope.exe
! Acceso denegado. <---- Access denied
please help, I want to play the new update :(
update: I've tried to reinstall it then i extracted the file from the donwloads part and it worked, now I have to start all over from the scratch but it doesn't matter, I can speedrun it, keep up the good work dude :)
I'm glad you managed to fix it. :)
update 2: hello, I have bad news, remember the issue about the exe file that runs the game disappears from the file that I've mentioned before? It happened again, please I really need your help now, I don't know what is going on, this issue didn't happen to me on the previous versions :(
Try extracting the game files in a different folder.
For example create a folder in C:\Games\ and extract there.
Final Update: Hi, while I did what you told me to do, I found the main issue, all along it was my blasted antivirus that was manifesting itself, that was the reason why the exe file was vanishing every time, now that the issue has been found, I made some configurations and on the "exceptions" part of my antivirus I've added the file that i have created that includes the whole game file, so now it's marked as "safe to play", now I'll head back to speedrunning all the achievements that I had before, thanks for the help anyways :D
From now on, I'll be posting my records by the time I start the yeeting time
beginning here with this ;)
My Baeless mode record
very fun game!
pretty good
What's the Gacha Mode Record? Here's Mine.
All I did was memorize the placement of the powerups in the main game...
Took a while, but it was worth it.
Spoilers ahead, here are the icons for all the fusions as of 5.0.3:

No I will not
Cool seeing this grow so much (i dont even know what the bonk is a vtber).
bruh its 3 am i cant let go of this and im not even a hololive regular watcher or even remember activelly watching a stream, this just so good and im so endeared by everything ah so good
I'm glad you're enjoying the game. :)

Space was thought as a side minigame to spend excess Hope Stones and do some rng rolls to eventually get the upgrades. It's not meant to be a full game on its own. However, I'll see if I can expand it a bit in the future to make it more enjoyable.
A simple feature to develop, in my opinion, would be the ability to choose the number of stones to use. For example:
She is Shiori Novella from HololiveEN Advent
ty bro enjoy this gif (edit its gd)

Hello!
I've seen reports of something like this happening to other people, but I need more info to try and find a way to fix it.
What browser are you using? Have you tried clearing the cache and refreshing? (usually done by pressing CTRL+F5)
Does the browser console show any error messages?
I'm using Google Chrome. I've always used Google Chrome to play on Itch and this game, but this is the first time the black screen shows up. I tried the CTRL + F5 combination, but after loading again it still shows black.

Edit: One more question: When the game got stuck on the black screen, was it before or after it shows chibiRyS downloading screen?
Thank you so much!
No problem! Losing the savefile is alright. It's just an opportunity to play the game all over again.
The game got stuck after every chibiRys downloading and loading screen.
Update: The game broke again. It breaks at the exact same point after every loading chibiRys as last time.
Hmm.. at this point I'm suspecting it is your PC.
Could you provide the tech details? CPU, memory, OS version, language
Thank you.
Great game! Very fun and well-crafted!

toss the turtle has both start boosts and options along the way such as... shooting the turtle with a gun.

Good job with all the add content!

I still haven't decided if I'll publish the game to Steam.
However, if I do it, I think I'll be publishing on my own, not under holo Indie.
thanks for the info, keep up the great work
Absolute perfection.
