I'm also doing my own remake of Nightfall Incident with improved graphics! would love for you to join the community and play the demo here: https://superessence.itch.io/nightfall
I loved playing this game growing up and have been trying to play it on shockwave players for the last 8 years or so. I am ecstatic about the prospect of there being a sequel to the game that got me hooked on turn-based strategy. However, I can't, in good conscience, buy this without evidence that there's a sequel in the works. There have been many bug comments, but no edits made for the last three years, so I'm wary. If you could give me some kind of kind of reassurance that there's definitely more to come, I'll purchase it the minute I get the notification.
After beating the first Level 4 Node and encountering WINTERMUTANT, player dialogue menu does not populate after selecting "WHERE IS IT?" in response to WINTERMUTANT informing player about finding "ANOTHER SECRET STASH!" Player can bypass bug if they select "WHAT DID YOU FIND?" instead.
The way that the game currently works is that, once you've collected a [c] credit square, the game remembers this and won't let you collect credits from it ever again. My patch makes it so that you can collect credit squares over and over - as many times as you want. This way you can grind for credits by playing the same node over and over again, which IMO is a necessary and important mechanic to have in this game. (IIRC the original game had this mechanic.)
r_tsang's solution is clever, and it helped me a lot in reverse-engineering the game's code, but it's a little inconvenient: You have to manually run the code and then refresh the page every time you want to farm a node. My solution should work seamlessly: As if the game had been designed this way from the start.
I've 100%-ed the game with this patch and never ran into any issues, but please let me know if you run into anything, and I'll see if I can fix it.
Imagine not giving a few bucks thanks for the hard work someone put in to recreating a beloved game that we couldn't play for years and years because Flash is dead.
Hello! I really enjoyed this game when I was young and I'm really happy someone took the time and effort to rebuilt it. Unfortunately I have no credit card so I can't buy the game. Is there any other way to proceed ? I have a Paypal account.

Any chance we can get an update to fix the softlock issues?

Is this the sequel you were talking about?

Or it might be by someone else?
That one is a pretty interesting game! i'm also making a sequel myself. If you want to play the original you can use Flashpoint which works great.
Found a bug for you.

I made a patch that lets you grind credits from nodes. You can download it here.

Imagine paying $5 for a free game developed 2 decades ago by different people. Is this even legal?
You can just play the original with Flashpoint and IntegerScaler.

While unfortunate, this is literally you:
