-==== When will you release bonus art, extra animations, or anything I can put on my phone? ====
+For questions related to the gallery, refer to the FAQ in the [[gallery#considerations|Gallery Page]].
-We will occasionally release [[https://www.patreon.com/FullFrontalFrog?filters[tag]=bonus%20art|bonus art]], typically in the form of animations. These may be taken straight from the game or they may be standalone works. There is no schedule for releasing these works, but we will update you all when there is something new to share with you!
+==== What genders are present in the game? ====
-===== Patreon =====
+Act 1 currently features 51 interactable characters, split between Enemies and NPCs. Out of all of these, 50 of them are male with only 1 of them being female: [[Kaylee]]. Though there are still some female characters in the backgrounds of some locations, the player can’t interact with them.
-Please read the Full [[https://f.ff-f.co/pfaq|Frontal Frog Patreon FAQ]]. Also, [[https://www.patreon.com/posts/please-read-31718667|read this message]] before pledging. Thanks for your support!

+==== I'm missing the romance NPC achievement. Help? ====
-===== Further Fun =====
+If you played a development version of OSH before the Act 1 launch, some dialogue flags were reset because dialogue was changed or expanded upon, and you may need to return to those NPCs to speak to them, even if they are already romanced (swooned).
+==== Where can I report a bug? ====

+===== Team questions =====
+==== Who makes up Full Frontal Frog? / Who’s making the game? ====
+//Oh So Hero!// is developed by [[https://ribbit.fun/team|Full Frontal Frog]] 🐸, a tiny game studio based in the United States. The studio has two full-time leaders/creators—Ket Ralus and Red Emption—as well as ten or so part-time staff to create additional art, support operations, and handle QA. In addition, we have about a dozen localizers, and many backers and past contributors who have made this game possible!
+**[[Ket Ralus]]** is the game's Executive Director and Programmer. He is in charge of game development and team direction, and is CEO of business affairs. He writes all of the code needed to make the game function. He occasionally contributes to the creative aspects as well.
+**[[Red Emption]]** is the game's Creative Director and Chief Animator. He is the original concept creator, and is responsible for gameplay design, character design, character animation, 3D background art, story and dialogue. Just about everything you see in the game is his doing!
 ==== Who is the Full Frontal Frog mascot? ====
-[[https://ff-f.co/francis/|Francis]] is the Full Frontal Frog Mascot! 🐸 Ribbit~
+That would be [[Francis|Francis the Frog]], the dapper gentlefrog, Ribbit~! 🐸
-==== Where can I hear the Oh So Hero Original Soundtrack? ====
+==== Are there additional goodies beyond just the game? ====
+//Oh So Hero!// does go beyond the game!
+We have active social media that can keep you updated on the future of the game, share some unknown trivia and easy-to-miss details, and is a great place to interact with us! Find us on [[https://x.com/FullFrontalFrog|X]] and [[https://bsky.app/profile/ribbit.fun|Bluesky]].
+We also have comics you can read that take place in the world of //Oh So Hero!// You may find information about them on [[https://ribbit.fun/comics/|Full Frontal Frog’s Comic webpage]].
+Finally, for the juiciest details on game updates, and some additional art like wallpapers and even additional sexy animations, you may support us on [[https://www.patreon.com/FullFrontalFrog|Patreon]] and [[https://subscribestar.adult/FullFrontalFrog|SubscribeStar]] to get them as well as some additional rewards!
+===== Game Update questions =====
+==== What's new with the most recent versions in Oh So Hero? ====
+The game is updated on a regular basis. It often includes small quality-of-life fixes but may also include new animations or even brand new mechanics! Stay tuned to our socials on [[https://x.com/FullFrontalFrog|X]] and [[https://bsky.app/profile/ribbit.fun|Bluesky]], or the store page you bought the game from to know when the game is updated, and then check out the [[changelog]] page for a rundown on what each new update brings!
+==== What will future updates include in Oh So Hero? ====
+The future of the //Oh So Hero!// world is bright! The direction of all three acts will lead you into new locations with sexy new characters~
+Of course, the players' voices are always heard and we keep these opinions in consideration to tune systems or even add new features based on what our community is saying.
+While some may be kept a secret to surprise you later, there are some exciting developments out there in the public that you may check out to know what’s coming. For the most detailed information, you may check out the [[development|Development Roadmap]].
+==== When will the full game of Oh So Hero! be completed? ====
+We plan for //Oh So Hero!// to have a total of three acts. Act 1 is complete, but Act 2 and Act 3 will each take several years of development. Because we are creating new mechanics and features we have not done before, it's not currently possible to determine a more precise estimate. Nevertheless, we will be updating our backers on [[https://www.patreon.com/FullFrontalFrog|Patreon]] and [[https://subscribestar.adult/FullFrontalFrog|SubscribeStar]] with each step of our progress!
+==== Can you redo/remake/update the old animations? ====
+Time is limited and we need to focus on developing new content for Act 2 as well. If we were to split our attention and revisit old content, it would really slow down the publishing of fresh, new content. We might still revisit some old art and animations to better fit with newer work, like after the completion of an act or another similar milestone, but this will happen at our discretion.
+==== Will there ever be multiple player characters, multiple outfits, etc.? ====
+Due to the nature of the hand-drawn in-game sprites and animations, it’s not as easy to add these character and outfit variations as it may seem. Even a small change like a shirt or a hat can prove really time-consuming as it implies the update of every **single** animation in the game to include the change.
+Due to this, we prefer to focus on new animations, interactions with other characters and other mechanics of the game rather than focusing on these variations.
+==== Can you make the game easier or harder, or add difficulty options? ====
+Act 2 will build towards an experience that will satisfy more casual and hardcore players alike. The exact implementations we will use are still to be decided, but we have many ideas in store. Act 1 has also received difficulty adjustments after its launch, and will continue to do so at least through v1.12 (possibly further).
+===== Supporting us =====
+==== Can I draw fanart or write fanfiction of the characters in Oh So Hero? ====
+Of course! We love seeing fan works of //Oh So Hero!// Please share it with us or tag #OhSoHero so we can admire your creations! We may even ask your permission to feature it (with credit, of course~).
+==== Is there a way I can support the development of the game? ====
+First, thank you for wanting to support us! Ribbit~! We appreciate the thought, and the Full Frontal Frog team that brings you //Oh So Hero!// has both [[https://www.patreon.com/FullFrontalFrog|Patreon]] and [[https://subscribestar.adult/FullFrontalFrog|SubscribeStar]] pages that you can pledge at to help fund the development of future updates and acts!
+Your support will be rewarded too! Our supporters get sneak peeks at what future updates will bring, the new characters that Joe will meet, and the new locations he’ll traverse. Additional rewards include a brand new comic that takes place between the acts of the game, bonus art featuring characters from new, sexy positions, and you’ll also get access to our community Discord server where you can hang out with other players and even interact with the members of the development team themselves.
+==== How does the Oh So Hero credit reward work? ====
+After pledging $20 USD in total (meaning you can chip away at this amount across different months), you have the option to be included in the credits of //Oh So Hero!//
+Supporters from [[https://www.patreon.com/FullFrontalFrog|Patreon]], [[https://subscribestar.adult/FullFrontalFrog|SubscribeStar]], and even [[https://ko-fi.com/FullFrontalFrog|Ko-Fi donors]] will have their lifetime pledge amounts added up (the total amount they’ve supported us with), and those with the higher amounts will appear first in the credits!
+[[https://f.ff-f.co/oshc|Use this form if you meet the pledge requirement to submit your information so your name can appear in the credits!]]
+This is a lifetime reward, meaning your name will stay in the credits even if you stop pledging.
+If you don’t see your name in the credits, you may have submitted your entry too close to a build being finished, or some information could’ve been messed up. In any case, you may [[contact]] us so we can get it resolved!
+==== Is there a Discord community server for the game? ====
+We do have a community server for players of the game! It’s a small hub for players to interact with one another, share experiences and keep up to date with updates straight from the directors of the game themselves.
+This server is open to all our supporters from [[https://www.patreon.com/FullFrontalFrog|Patreon]] and [[https://subscribestar.adult/FullFrontalFrog|SubscribeStar]] platforms. Supporters from either page can link their Discord accounts to the platform and immediately gain access to the //Oh So Hero!// Discord server.
+Once inside, don’t forget to check the #🌈readme channel for useful links to get your supporter rewards and know your way around the server!
+==== As a supporter, do I get a key for the game? ====
+Sorry, but supporters won’t get a game key as part of the rewards with their subscriptions. You will need to buy the game separately from your pledge at either [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/2086050/Oh_So_Hero/|Steam]] or the [[https://f.ff-f.co/oshi|itch.io]] store.
+Some long-time supporters were given Act 1 Steam keys for the v1.00 release because we had a limited amount available that we could provide them with. We don't expect we'll have this opportunity for current supporters or with the release of future acts.
+==== Can I get my OC in the game? ====
+We’d love to include everyone, but with the amount of work we have on our backs, it’s impossible for us to do so. In our old roadmap, we wanted to offer NPC guest spots as a reward, but we never had the time to handle this in addition to all of the planned content. So we’ve reserved ourselves to only work on original concepts by Creative Director [[Red Emption]], though we sometimes receive input from Executive Director [[Ket Ralus]] and some part-time contributors.
+==== If I drop my pledge, will I lose my rewards? ====
+Yes, if you drop your pledge, you’ll lose access to all of the private posts in our [[https://www.patreon.com/FullFrontalFrog|Patreon]] and [[https://subscribestar.adult/FullFrontalFrog|SubscribeStar]] pages, which would restrict your access to both current and future updates on the coming acts, development logs and occasional bonus art.
+You will keep your lifetime perks that were based on your pledge amount rather than current status like having your name in the credits or being invited into the Discord server, though from the latter, you’ll lose access to some channels.
+==== There was a month without a proper update. What happened? ====
+We always strive to provide new content on a monthly schedule, but we occasionally slip off track for one or more reasons. Rest assured that if we do miss a date, we’ll update you later on why it was and provide the quality content that needed just a bit more time in the oven!
+We appreciate your patience and understanding.
+==== I had an issue with billing with my subscription, what do I do? ====
+We’re sorry to hear you’re having troubles with billing, but don’t worry! We’ll help you! Whether you were billed twice, or there was a misunderstanding, or any other issue, you can visit the [[Refunds]] page for instructions. And if you are unable to resolve the issue yourself, you can contact us so we can help you in every way we can.
+==== Am I in the credits? And if so, what's my total contribution and rank? ====
+Supporters that have pledged at least **$20 USD in total** in any of our Support platforms have the option to submit their information and have their names appear in the credits. You may check for yourself by going selecting Options in the Main Menu, then selecting *View Credits* under the General tab. Beating the current Act will also show the game’s credits. Make sure you are checking the latest build; credits are updated every six months.
+As for total contribution, that's something we calculate from your lifetime pledge total in our support sites like Patreon and SubscribeStar. We rank the names in the credits based on that. These are not fixed ranks; they evolve over time based on number of backers and dollar amounts, but they're always in order from highest to lowest. As of v1,12, there are 4 ranks: #1 is $730 or higher, #2 is $300 or higher, #3 is $9.99 or higher, #4 is for unlinked accounts where the current total is unknown. Many of the entries in the lower tiers are grandfathered in.
-[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8aPa2CIhh4&list=PLgV7NajvSl3Fgny-a6F0YWrkCpL6xiafu|Oh So Hero! Pre Edition Pre Soundtrack.]] We plan to release a remastered version with bonus tracks soon as a full album.
+If you are not currently in the list and have pledged more than $20 USD, see the [[https://f.ff-f.co/oshc|Credits & Perks form]] for details.
