yeah you're not wrong, Caz previously mentioned that he had forgotten about the buffs, so they weren't included in episode 5. They'll probably be reintroduced in Episode 6 so long as either Caz or Posty don't forget again

Thanks a lot, I was finally able to find the last two I needed!

No Shinies are not shiny locked in this game, and I believe the chance is 1%.

So I was searching through my bag and found that I have the Red Piece, Yellow Piece, and Purple Piece. I read that there is also a Green Piece and a Blue Piece. Does anyone know where I can obtain them/what I need to do to obtain them? Thanks for any help!

If I recall correctly, you're supposed to go back to your mansion.

First of all, you're posting that question in the wrong place. Posty previously mentioned that any more questions regarding where to find things in the game should be asked in Discussions, not in here, or the thread will be locked, and we don't want that to happen. But I also don't want to be a dick, so I'll help out but if you ever need help on where to find something or where to go in the game in the future, I kindly ask you move it to the Discussions section.

5.0.5 is the latest patch, if you're playing on that patch and the problem still persists then Caz or Posty are your best friend, but it SHOULD be fixed in 5.0.5.

It's been fixed in the latest patch, I believe.

When you get to Blackview City there should be a house marked with a triangle relatively close to the entrance. In there, the name rater can be found.

Ah, I remember an old post from a while back saying that it could be a possibility for the future, but I guess with the protagonist being silent it doesn't really help. I would assume the plot just doesn't align with romance either. Although its not in consideration right now, is there a chance the idea will still float around? I would respect the decision to down right not involve romance in the game though, since it's hard to pull off correctly and can be kinda cringey if done wrong, if that's the case.

Surfing on any body of water in Addenfall Woods changes the BGM from the calm and serene theme of the forest to the BGM that plays when the Black Foxes initially raided the woods. Exiting and re-entering the woods reverts the BGM back to the correct one that should play, and aside from that, nothing happens at all. Just a weird (bug?) Thought I'd put it in here since nothing about it really affects the game, its just the background music.

its gonna come out some time next week broski

I predict tomorrow or the first tbh, highly doubt a release today
