No.2711[Last 50 Posts]
lol recently set up a new homepage for his games, which naturally include .flow.
In addition to this, he also updated .flow to version 0.19.
Site:

Note: the little Sabi on the "top" page has a word balloon that says "Welcome".
No.2712
>>2711Anything new?
going to look into it
No.2714
>>2712Played for about an hour after it went live. Found 1 new area that was added to
the area before getting the handgun effect. It had a few interesting things in it, including a door I couldn't open and a street blocked by traffic cones. Not sure if the traffic cones means it's incomplete or if I need to do something to make them disappear. It may also just be a random event. I also have no idea what to do to get the door open. It might just be a faux door like the one in the apartments for all I know.I'm guessing there's more new areas I haven't found yet; there's 266 map files in version 0.18's data files, and 284 in 0.19's, so obviously there's still a few new things to find. I'll probably play a bit more if I have time tonight, hopefully I'll find a few other new things.
(Had to delete this as soon as I posted it because I forgot to put spoiler tags, whoops)
No.2716
This is pretty neat. I never knew lol was still updating .flow. Guess its a bad thing I deleted my copy and save files years ago.
No.2717
Is anyone else having trouble accessing the Monochrome Beach? I've tried 3 times now and every single time I get that god forsaken "Not Implemented" error that just keeps opening copies of itself. Each time I've had to Ctrl+Alt+Del to shut the .exe file with task manager.
Also, is there anything new in the Monochrome Beach area? 'Cause if there isn't, then this isn't really that big of a deal and just more of a minor annoyance.
No.2718
>>2717lol tweeted not to long ago that some major issues were found in ver.0.19 and to please avoid playing it.
Not entirely sure what they are as the tweet didn't say, but that's probably one of them. Assume a fix patch will be out soon.
No.2719
Guess I have something new to look forward to aside from 2kki.
No.2720
The game crashes with a "Not implemented area" if you try to access the city coast via the rainbow maze. Hopefully lol will put a patch out.

No.2725
>>2720Ah, thanks. Hopefully a patch will be out soon. I hadn't seen that tweet yet so it's good that lol is aware, because I also got another "Not Implemented" error when entering the streets leading to the Psychedelic City from the sewers. Since
>>2720 had trouble accessing the same map, I'm guessing it's an issue with the map file itself.
No.2728
The cause of the bug was found. A file in the music folder, namioto.mp3 appears to be broken. If you delete the file everything should run fine as is for now. lol will still be fixing the issue though, of course.
No.2729
Any clues on how to access the new events?
No.2730
oh man, there's a whole new area accessible from the alleyway where one goes to the asylum, dead hole, and the sugar hole.
it's this city-like (perhaps more alleys?) place with lots of lamps and blood. if you go a certain way you find an empty room with bloodstains and get jumped by a creepy blob when you exit. you then get transported to a maze, where you evade more creepy blobs (they transport you to the start of the maze). I didn't fully explore it, but if you go into a door, you exit the maze, and when sabitsuki walks out, her face is shadowed and the iron pipe effect is activated.
if you try to go back to the maze through the empty area, you instead see it's blocked off by cones, and beyond that, you see a kaibutsu attacking a corpse or a pile of gore.
it's deliciously creepy. I can't wait to see what else v0.19 has in store.
btw, if you want the handgun effect, you now have to traverse the city/alleys to get to it, since the dumpster it's in is now on the other side of the fence and not accessible via the asylum.
No.2731
I went back a second time to see if I could get into the maze again, but the area's still blocked off. (I'll try again a third time.) however, instead of seeing a kaibutsu beating up a bloody hunk of meat, I just saw a guy run offscreen.
btw, to get to the maze, from entering the city you go up at the first intersection and carry on right until you change areas. you should enter a transition room where the music stops and screen darkens as you go on; after that is the empty blood room I talked about. if it's the first time you go there, it shouldn't be blocked off, and trying to exit should trigger a creepy blob to catch you and transport you to the maze.
No.2732
I went back a third time, and the area is still blocked off; so I guess after you exit the maze, you can never go back there again. (unless it's a random event?)
this time, however, I saw nothing past the traffic cones. no kaibutsu, no guy, nothing. that one's definitely a random event; wonder if there's anything else that appears.
No.2733
in other news:
sabitsuki apparently has two new dresses, though I don't know if they're actually in-game or just in the files.
the weird white things in the school's third floor are still there, and there's still one blocking the doorway. I have no idea if it's become removable or not, though. maybe it's still inaccessible. maybe it will always be and we'll never see what's behind that door. oh well.
other than a graphical glitch on an NPC in the sugar hole restaurant, I haven't seen anything else new or worth noting.

btw, I went back to the new streets area (I'm tempted to say city but I don't really think it is a city.) to see if I could see anything new after the blocked area, or if it was unblocked again (I think the maze access might be a random event?). anyway, it wasn't, and there was nothing past the cones, but walking back to the streets I saw a creepy blob there that wasn't there before. it spooked me for a second. it doesn't chase you or teleport you or anything; just stands there.
credit to lol for the music in that area, also. it's /really/ creepy and does a good job of making my skin crawl.
>>2739how do you get to this new place?
>>2748yeah, same here. I've never been able to get the shady hotel maid event to activate at all, not even in past versions.
perhaps I should look around rpg maker…

all the predominantly female NPCs and interesting lack of male NPCs (smile and the doctor plus /possibly/ the kaibutsu (depending how you interpret them) are the only ones that come to mind) and general focus on "female" parts/organs plus this? sounds like sabitsuki is a lesbian to me
ANYWAY I was looking through rpg maker and found out two things regarding the streets area:
1. it seems you may be able to randomize the events you see in the bloody area by running around in the middle of the transition area before it, since there's an event that calculates the variables when you run over it and doesn't seem to be a one-time thing. I haven't tested this though so I can't confirm it works.
2. the "maze" isn't really a maze and the exit door is the only exit as well as only real event of interest, minus the chaser creepy blobs.
I'll keep looking for stuff.

so those two new dresses you can get at the underwater town. I've still no idea how to get to the underwater town, though.
No.2754
hmm, it seems the shady maid event in the sweet sugar hotel is connected to how much cake you've eaten at the sugar hole. so I guess if you eat a lot of cake, you'll be able to access the area with the girl statues. the previous event, the one with the maids standing over a bloody bed, seems to be gone (it's still there in the files, but is now inaccessible from what I can tell).
I also found the nightmare event (called 侵食, "encroachment", "erosion" or "corrosion") but still don't know how to access it.
I also found a glitch event in the FC world, but I don't know how long that one's been around for.
No.2755
the underwater village and the nightmare are accessible by the debug room, but I'm not sure about in-game.
No.2756
>>2755>>2753The village is in the Oreko area, the one that you access through the Garden world, from the nexus. The entrance to it is slightly from the right of where you start, underwater.
If you kill every guitar player in the village, including the one in the dress hut, The village turns very dark and everyone there comes after you, not even the Ghost effect will save you.

It was kind of amusing to see Sabi in her room, dressed in different clothing. A pity I fucked it up by using the computer. I wish it could be an effect instead of Yume2kki-like clothing
No.2761
So, the nightmare event seems to happen at random. But it apparently has something to do with you having all effects, and your erosion counter. Maybe. This is confusing.
No.2762
>>2759That file's been there for a long time. I believe it's one of the backgrounds for the deeper body areas?
Speaking of the body area, I was getting the viscera effect and, out of curiosity, decided to use the whistle in the room with the dead girl you get the effect from. The corpse squirms when you blow the whistle; it's pretty creepy.
>>2761Do you know which event in the game, in RPG Maker, has these details? I've tried looking around both versions of Sabitsuki's room, but haven't found anything that triggers the nightmare.
>>2758Only by cheating and modifying the game in RPG Maker so you can teleport to the debug room. Otherwise it's completely inaccessible.
No.2763
Also, something else I found out: you know the new dresses that Sabitsuki can wear? There are two female NPCs that wear those dresses: one on a hill found somewhere in the area with all the female statues and maids (accessible by the hotel) – she wears the pale dress; and one in that blocked off part of the apartment you only access by eating a million cakes – she wears the brown dress.
Food for thought.

No.2771
>>2767Eating at the bar and interacting with Oreko with the diving helmet on will decrease the erosion counter.
IMO I think it's a better tactic to raise the counter first (so you can get goodies like the Rust menu and the nightmare event) and then do stuff like eat at the bar, get the Orange menu, etc.
No.2773
Going to the new underwater village as Rust, there were two brown dresses, the white one was gone, plus she refuses to wear them.
Btw the bgm in the sugar maid area sounds like heavy breathing/moaning, if you keep listening to it.I was able to access the area with the erosion counter at its max, at least as Rust, by just interacting with the 3rd room's maid a several times.

I checked, and you can indeed randomize the event in the Streets by running around the transitional map before it. Said event-randomizer is around the left of the map where the screen darkens/lightens some more, a few tiles from the teleport.

Holy shit it's her!
[Effect added to the scene for ending foreshadowing.]
I've also got kidnapped and thrown into an alley by those creepy brown ghosts. When Sabi gets out of there, she has a gloomy face, and the iron pipe auto equipped.
Also, two things I've noticed that I'm not sure if they are from 0.18 or 0.19
-When you use the Dress, you can bow. Bowing in presence of maids make them bow too. (except chainsaw maid)
-When you use the plant effect, press shift to make plants grow out of you. BUT if you do that while it's raining (wate can), the plants and flowers GROW EVEN MORE! now you can't even move!
Also I now it isn't new, but, loli Oreko a cute.
One last thing, there's this door on the apartments, next to the flower-snow one, which I don't know if you can open?

>>2788>I've also got kidnapped and thrown into an alley by those creepy brown ghosts. When Sabi gets out of there, she has a gloomy face, and the iron pipe auto equipped.If you do this without obtaining the iron pipe effect beforehand, the game will give it to you after gloomy-faced Sabi exits the door, meaning there's now two different methods for obtaining the iron pipe effect.

There's a load of duplicate files in this version – I had previously assumed it was just my computer acting up, but apparently that's not the case. It seems to be for the files with Japanese names only (I may be incorrect, though). Hopefully lol will fix that up in the next version.
Speaking of the next version, I'm wondering if lol has any kind of surprise planned for .flow, seeing as next version will mostly likely be 0.20.

Another new area can be accessed by going to the underwater world via the Ghost Garden and going right, opposite to the way you take to the giant heart monitor
I think that's all of them. All the new areas have specific events and/or extras found in them, so be sure to explore

someone talked about dead hole event in theories thread
>>2609how do i get this event?
No.2830
>>2829There are two ways to get to the Dead Hole, one of which requires the Cat effect.
1. Go to the alleys where you access the hospital, Sugar Hole restaurant, and the Streets. Use the Cat effect to crawl under a fence. Enter the door behind Charlotte.
2. Go to the Orange Maze from the sewers and find the floating switch by the twintail Kaibutsu. Interact with it to get to the large room with various switches and a tiny test tube. From here you need to go to the southeast part of the room, to where the orange turns to blue, and interact with the switch there. Interact with the light in the next room.
An event with Oreko can be accessed by visiting the Dead Hole as Rust, using the second path via the Orange Maze.

Don't worry, it's not one you need to constantly wake up and go back in to the session for. Just head back into the room before, cross the middle, and come back. Sooner or later you'll get the event. Be sure to cross the middle of the bloodstained area behind the cones, though.
No.2891
>>2767if it helps, one (relatively) quick way to increase the rust meter is to go to the room in the red body where all those demons are and let them run into you, then go into another room, then go back and repeat.
if my math is correct, there are five demons in said room (three rust points each), so you'll get about fifteen rust points every time you visit the room. do it fifteen times and you got 250 points right there. won't even need to wake up or use the arm effect.
it's a bit tedious, but it worked for me when i tried it.
No.2893
>>2891There's also a bunch of red demons in the foggy room that corrupts when you hit a kaibutsu (I counted around seven IIRC, but I might be wrong). Downsides: kaibutsu, and the red demons get rid of your effects when they touch you, making it harder to avoid the kaibutsu.
