Free Cities: Origins

How do I adjust text speed in the game?

You can adjust the text speed in the settings menu or click through it using left click to speed up the text.

How can I save my game if I encounter an error (locations.get(...) is null)?

This issue is fixed in the next version, but you can currently use the save hotkey 'S' instead of the save menu to avoid the error.

What are the current development plans for character portraits?

The game supports vector art and is developing WebGL portraits which offer better viewing angles, different poses, and zooming capabilities.

Why does the first phase of the game feel like a long introduction?

The initial phase may seem lengthy and unengaging. To improve player retention, consider making the main mechanics, themes, and goals more apparent within the first few minutes to keep players interested.

Why is this game called 'Free Cities: Origin'?

Given significant differences in theme and gameplay compared to Free Cities (e.g., lack of focus on slave sexuality and advanced technology), it might be better to change the name to avoid misleading expectations.

How do I make text selectable in the game?

How do I check on the economy in the game?

Click on the barracks on the maps to access the economy information.

Why is Shintani not asking me to leave yet?

Shintani might be mentioned regarding the Barracks but has not asked you to check out the economy, so the 'Leave' button remains greyed out. He may require further interaction or conditions to change.

What is causing slaves' willpower to increase unexpectedly?

Assigning a slave to Serve You or be in a submissive role after influencing their willpower to Very Submissive can cause an unintended increase in willpower. This appears to be due to the mechanics where if the willpower was already below 40, it increases until it hits that bound.

Why is there no response when I ask Shintani for help?

Asking questions related to helping or interacting with Shintani might be in-progress options and not yet implemented. The text does not strikethrough, indicating they may still be under development.

Why can't I access the Inventory/Diet options for slaves?

Access to Inventory/Diet options is currently unavailable as these features are likely work-in-progress (WIP).

How do I change a slave's assignment?

Inspect the slaves to open the window where you can change their assignments.

How do you skip the zoom gate?

Zoom out until your height width are greater than required. If that doesn't work, contact me via PM.

Can I mod the game to add custom portraits for characters and slaves?

How do I adjust the game window size on a 1080p monitor?
