found the problem turns out 7zip doesn’t unzip .rar files properly I installed winrar and it works now. Thanks for still being active in your community!
I don't know why people have a problem downloading the game (probably virus protection blocking a download and people don't notice?) and while I appreciate an alternative download link that works for folks, I can't let people leave unofficial download links in the comments due to them easily being tampered with or dangerous no matter how trustworthy. So I have to delete this one.
I'll add my own alternate download link to the game description.
I only get 2 endings one with the full crew (minus the merch, is a playable character because if Say so, then a full crew -1) and other one with Beltboy.
I download again because i wanna know what happend with the others finals.
I remembered I made this when I was frustrated with the game, and it doesn't feel really fair, but I stand with what I said anyway: the mushrooms get you high very randomly and it's not very clear what you need to do to progress at times in the area.
However.
I greatly enjoyed the rest of the game, specially the last stretch. The art and music are on par (and often better) than the original LISA, and the combat was also very interesting, although repetitive at times. So thumbs up overall on the game, just some kinks that could be ironed out.
You have to not get hit by the very faint translucent cloud sprites. Yes their movement is random, but the mushrooms shoot these clouds out in intervals, meaning you gotta time yourself.
Hey, don't know if anyone else has this issue but im getting an error whenever i've tried to download. "Cannot read property 'build' of undefined". Does anyone have a fix? I think it's a problem with my pc.
buddy you gotta play Lisa the Joyful first if you want to play the fangames HOW DARE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT PLAYING THE FANGAMES WITHOUT FINISHING THE MAIN LISA STORY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Go and play Lisa the Joyful at once ! so what's that it's much worse than Lisa the Painful you have to finish the main story first holy shit aaaaaa !
Dude chill xD it's amazing, true, but some people don't have the bucks for it even if it's not expensive xD it's a good alternative to play a free game about the world of Lisa and if you dig it, pay for the real one later. If you already want to buy it, you can get to play before getting Lisa
Just a minor bug report here, in the second area of the game (the purple, grassy area with the green and blue sky) there is a bug on one of the ledges leading to the save point. Jumping onto the left-most block on the ledge (two ledges down from the rocks) will completely softlock your character and make you unable to move or jump back down. The only escape is to reload your save.

Have you tried asking the guy who ported the original LISA games to do it? I think Daverball was his name? He helped port Lisa the Pointless too so if he's still around he might be happy to port it for you.
Sorry, not too interested in doing this. It's been a while after all. There's some resources around and on the discords if you want some information on making a fangame.
could you make this game not have OpenGL 2.0 support? i tried to play this game and it says i need opengl 2.0 to play this game still i dont really need opengl
Try to make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. If that doesn't work, it may be that you can give this tool a shot: 3D Analyzer. It can emulate better video cards at the cost of RAM.
Amazing game man. You created some great characters and story, in some places it hit even harder than Painful imho. Unfortunately, it can now only be played in legacy mode on fucking Win10, but it's a problem plaguing even the original games.
Absolutely a fault of the latest update, I was playing it with a custom resolution before the update and it stopped working just after. Luckily, it still works in legacy mode, but still...fuck Win10.
Seriously? Thanks, I will try it (Now that I think about it, I recently downloaded another famous Lisa fangame, and the legacy version doesn't work while the new version does so probaly it automatically updated, I guess...)
Hey so i've heard there is an issue with Windows 10 involving all mkxp games. I was wondering if you had any ideas on how to fix it. I've looked everywhere for a fix and haven't been able to find anything. I can technically play the legacy launcher but full screen 1920/1080p is what kinda sold the game for me.
If MKXP isn't working on Windows 10 there's not a lot I can offer you sadly, I don't know of any fixes. Maybe compatibility mode for Windows 7 if you haven't tried that.
That's okay, either way when I played the game nearly a year ago, it was absolutely amazing and I commend you for making such a great game for what must have been very little money.
I fixed it by updating Windows to the newest version. Apparently it doesnt prompt you for it for whatever reason. I have a question though now that im doing the Rodriguez route, what do the moves "You're Mine" and "Do Something" do? I see states that are obviously of your own creation but its not clear what they do and the wiki is of little help.
I made an account just to say that I absolutely love this game to death. I had so much fun playing it over and over and it really did feel like a 'LISA' game. It has so much content in it that it's amazing that it's free. I give you a rousing applause to you guys for making such a great game!
I'm really enjoying this game but everytime I get to the Sportsdome (this is the 2nd time now) my game file just dissapears for no reason and I have to start all over again. I've never seen this happen to others so I'm kinda lost on what to do
Does it create a save file in the first place? Try saving the game, then look in the game folder for a save file. If there is one, try backing it up. If there isn't one after you save at a crow, extract the RAR file, your computer doesn't have permission to actually create the save files otherwise. You can also try running as an administrator but I doubt that's the problem. If none of these things work, I'm not sure what to do.
Of course I would appreciate translations of the game. I'd need an organized document of all dialogue, item text and battle text in order of appearance (knowing how to decompile and view the RPG Maker project file on your own would be best for this, otherwise you'll have to play through the game), and then I'd need another neutral, fluent person to verify the translation to see if it comes across the same. Get in contact me if you go through with this and finish it so you can send me the document and I can include anything you might have missed. (PM on discord is probably the best way, although I may be slow to respond on there at first.)
Everything you need to play the game on Windows is provided with the download. Just run the hopeful.exe - and if that doesn't work, there is a folder called 'Old Launcher' that may help fix the problem.
Hey, so I've played this game a few times (good stuff, btw) and I'm using it on a new PC now. I download the Definitive, unzip the game, but when I try to run the launcher, it just starts in a small, black window, and then closes. Anyway I can fix this?
That's odd, try running it in Windows 7 Compatibility Mode maybe? Have you tried running other RPG Maker games? Also, give the old launcher a shot (follow the instructions provided in the folder)
Bruh I was randomily searching my old browsing history, when I found something I was looking at on May 29, 2017, I remembered I was on my mac, and was bummed out when there was no support, then 2 years later, still bummed, but besides that it's given me a weird feeling like O.o
I dont have the space or age to even get this game, but it looked AMAZING in the trailer. Also, a little question TacoSalad, Instead of hiring thousands of translators, couldnt you use google translator?
Hi Mr.Tacosalad! I really love the fangame. Are there any secret areas in the game (like during the acid trip there's one guy in an island upside down, and the same guy when you drop down the cliff that says jump down) like the original games where you have to jump off cliffs and hope it has a cave or landing?
*EDIT* sigh, nevermind. There were multiple posts just below mine that answered my question. So as not to waste time, thanks for the amazing fangame Mr. Tacosalad!

I honestly love this game. It has that LISA charm and the multiple routes are a cherry on top.
Tanner Texas deserves all my mags.
oh my goodness gracious what a lovely game
When I launch the game its says "No games scripts specified (missing Game.ini?)" and im unable to play it any way to fix this?
Probably just need to unzip the rar file, or you're on a mac or something.
found the problem turns out 7zip doesn’t unzip .rar files properly I installed winrar and it works now. Thanks for still being active in your community!
Is there a mac version/plan for a mac version at all? Looks really cool :)
Maybe someday, for now unfortunately you'd have to use something like Wineskin.
It's been a while since I've played this I might pick it up again when I have free time. How long did this take to make this?
Game is Updated
|so what new?
Will you be adding support for the itch.io desktop app? Currently you can't download the files from it. I assume this would also fix a lot of other issues poeple are having with downloading. (https://itch.io/docs/itch/integrating/manifest.html) (https://itch.io/docs/itch/integrating/quickstart.html)
oh... so that what the issue was. Should be fixed now. I didn't even know there was an itch.io client.
Technically not support because its not going to install it for you, it will just download the rar file like it is supposed to.
yes.. its a shame .. time ago i can install on a notebook by itch app ... later when i got my pc .. not ..the error on the app shows
is there somewhere I can download the previous versions?
Thanks, that's really help.

Understand.
And You are working and other mod or another chapter 2?
There will be an update someday, get hype for Hopeless in the meantime
I only get 2 endings one with the full crew (minus the merch, is a playable character because if Say so, then a full crew -1) and other one with Beltboy.
I download again because i wanna know what happend with the others finals.
How many endings are in the Game?
Wait what? WAIT WAHT!?
I can't download it, it really needs to be fixed.
Hey how can I download the game? I can't select anything to download the game at all.
I have LISA but I can't run it without an app?
Open a Spanish Translation?
Already working on!
Do you need help?
Si Estás Interesado, háblame por discord Naoki du bois#0401
¿Sabes si ya hay traducción al español?

I'm having the same problem. Hope it's fixed soon.
Same

I've been waiting for them to fix for while. But nothing yet.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pp9wBuxFi2BnnnofAmY1mIlEm3Hs1rse/view?usp=shari...
here!
the files at the time to install dont work.. dont show
The area with the mushrooms is complete bullshit. I wanted to see the rest of the game but I just can't be bothered to go through that area.
I remembered I made this when I was frustrated with the game, and it doesn't feel really fair, but I stand with what I said anyway: the mushrooms get you high very randomly and it's not very clear what you need to do to progress at times in the area.

same thing's happening with me
Yeah it's also happening to me, can someone tell me how to fix this.
Hey! Havent rlly seen anyone asking this but are there spoilers for Lisa the Joyful in here? Or does it just work completely on its own? :O
buddy you gotta play Lisa the Joyful first if you want to play the fangames HOW DARE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT PLAYING THE FANGAMES WITHOUT FINISHING THE MAIN LISA STORY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

I know I'm like years too late but the discord link expired. Would really appreciate if someone could send me an invite link.
that's a good game
hi .. sorry for the question .. there is a way i can donate ? .. i really love this game and want to add to mi library ..
Bro pls. Mac version. I've been waiting for so long
Sorry dude all I can suggest is Wineskin for now
Have you tried asking the guy who ported the original LISA games to do it? I think Daverball was his name? He helped port Lisa the Pointless too so if he's still around he might be happy to port it for you.
Same boat my dude. Please let me know if you figure out how to run it in wineskin.
Can you make a video about creating LISA : The Hopeful? Please, very interested in creating LISA fun game.
Sorry, not too interested in doing this. It's been a while after all. There's some resources around and on the discords if you want some information on making a fangame.
could you make this game not have OpenGL 2.0 support? i tried to play this game and it says i need opengl 2.0 to play this game still i dont really need opengl
Have you tried using the Old Launcher?
Try to make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. If that doesn't work, it may be that you can give this tool a shot: 3D Analyzer. It can emulate better video cards at the cost of RAM.

Absolutely a fault of the latest update, I was playing it with a custom resolution before the update and it stopped working just after. Luckily, it still works in legacy mode, but still...fuck Win10.
That was actually fixed on the new version of Windows 10, you have to manually update it I believe (idk why)
Seriously? Thanks, I will try it (Now that I think about it, I recently downloaded another famous Lisa fangame, and the legacy version doesn't work while the new version does so probaly it automatically updated, I guess...)

Ey, wonder if this is possible to play on Android?
My computer monitor died so I can't play on it.
I've seen some gameplay and I'm really excited to play.
Unfortunately no, VX Ace games don't have the capability to be played on android devices.
That's a shame.
I'm really enjoying this game but everytime I get to the Sportsdome (this is the 2nd time now) my game file just dissapears for no reason and I have to start all over again. I've never seen this happen to others so I'm kinda lost on what to do

You can also try running as an administrator but I doubt that's the problem. If none of these things work, I'm not sure what to do.
I tried that out and It seems to be saving properly now, thank you so much
Of course I would appreciate translations of the game.

Try Wineskin(?) people have reported success with it.
I dont have the space or age to even get this game, but it looked AMAZING in the trailer. Also, a little question TacoSalad, Instead of hiring thousands of translators, couldnt you use google translator?
Hi Mr.Tacosalad! I really love the fangame. Are there any secret areas in the game (like during the acid trip there's one guy in an island upside down, and the same guy when you drop down the cliff that says jump down) like the original games where you have to jump off cliffs and hope it has a cave or landing?
Nothing as big as a certain fishy area in the Painful. Most places you can safely drop from are hinted by a flag.
Random question Mr.Tacosalad, do you have any plans for a sequel? Cause man, the joyless ending really seems like its leading into something.
At one point I did, but as of now I don't have any plans to make a sequel.
Aw, darn.
*EDIT* sigh, nevermind. There were multiple posts just below mine that answered my question. So as not to waste time, thanks for the amazing fangame Mr. Tacosalad!
Oh hey, I got someone to play my game via a review and being a delicious meal. Not bad.
Not bad at all ;)
