How often does this game get updated?
How do I open the path to Prostigous Canyon so I can continue to Sorditudo?
I am so sorry for replying so late. If you have a pick ax in your inventory (if not, equip it) and you should be able to remove rock based rubble from paths. I believe that I adjusted it to not require it to be equipped due to feedback, but that required changing it for every instance so some might've been missed. I hope that helps, otherwise let me know.
Hey your game is amazing but I came across a problem. I don’t know how but when I revisit the loading dock at Buford place and it won’t let me go back out, I only made one save file and I really don’t want to start over again. What should I do? Pls help me
Hopefully, all the updates Nathan (Landship Scorpios) has been doing has cleared up all those sort of issues now.
We just discussed your game on our podcast! Come check us out!

OH MY GOD! Guys, I cannot say enough how nice this was. I laughed so hard! Thank you so much. I'm sorry the game is so big! I'll have to get my butt in gear and finish the walkthrough.
I caught a shield bat, put it into the zoo, accidently caught another one and now can't empty my cage and unable to catch anything else because it keeps telling me my cage is full.
Okay, I just found that I can sell it thanks to the new update. I am heckin loving this game.
Thank you so much! I am so sorry, I was told it was a little challenging of a game and has a few "not so clear" stuff in it. I hope it's easy enough. I highly suggest getting the Travel Journal and SAVE OFTEN!
Let me know if you are having trouble. Explore and talk to many people if you are stuck. I'm working on a walkthrough now in case it gets too tough.
Thank you so much.
This game is absolutely fabulous and I find it so hard to get into any game or get over it quickly. I can't seem to put this game down. Its amazing. I can't wait for the walk through but the challenge alone I think is what keeps me hooked.
I'm also addicted!
But my cage is full and I can't drop it off at the zoo or sell it at the Vibranni Market in the Mayberry District, and I'm not sure if I'm missing something. What should I do?
Hello. I'm sorry about this. What is your cage full of? Click on the Cage item in the Key items section of your menu. When you activate it, it should tell you what you have caught.
You should be allowed to sell Extra Skuttlekovy and Scorpions in the Vibranni Market. There's a man in Gearford Saks district you can give a Scorpion to in order to complete his mini-quest and gain access to his tent. If it's a bat there's a man in the very north of Gearford Saks who will buy the extra bat from you.
These are all the instances currently in the game. The Vibranni market got scaled down but I do eventually want to add a lot more instances of being able to catch doubles of animals and turn them in to various locations for quests and money and etc. Maybe for another time. . .
I'm playing version 8 (mac) and… I can't change my character name. Also, how do I get a bigger cage for that scorpion?
The back/cancel button ( keyboard button 'X' or Gamepad 'button 2') will erase the "Player" on the naming screen. You can't rename yourself once you choose your name.
Hello. Ensure you have the latest build.
Now, you need a cage upgrade before you can start catching the Scorpion. There may be something in your Journal or Travel Journal that can help point you in the right direction. Going further in the main story should unlock the next cage upgrade.
There is currently not a renaming option. However: I think that would be a great idea. I never considered it. I will look into this for a future build.
In versions 8 and 9, I see nothing in my journal moving the plot forward.
Please update to the latest version, also I moved the "Journal" of Hubert Ward and the "Journal" of the player. Chances are if you are stuck you need to go south to the Rowe/ Horne Districts and go to the Fortress Industries HQ by the docks.
I also HIGHLY recommend buying the Travel Journal that way you can basically check your quest log on the go and that will help cut down on confusion. If that still hasn't helped then I am currently working on a walkthrough, I'll try to get a walkthrough that at least gets you out of gearford ready as soon as possible.
Ooh, there's a new release out! Thanks!
If Fortress Industries HQ is where I think it is, the door won't open. Am now running version 10.
Hmm... Still in the begining of the game? It should be a blue building next to the docks. One moment. I can better explain it with more time but:
This video might have me doing this section of the game. Let me know if this helps and I'll double check to see if this is a new bug. Shouldn't be.
