Ok. I understand, thanks for the help. I understand now. At some point I was starting to doubt that I had blocked the game's progress.
You're welcome. A lot of people had similar problems with this build and the dev already mentioned, that he will try to make it better or include some better explanation/tutorial for all the systems.

I’m kinda lost here. I played the old version and had everything unlocked, but now I started fresh with the new UI and I’m stuck in the early stages.
Her resistance is at 5 and I can’t find anything—no dialogue, no tasks—that lowers it. All I can get her to do is study fashion or potions.
Did I miss something?

I had trouble with that. But, if you unlock the Dark Arts classes, you can choose the one that lowers resistance. Just have to send her to that one over and over, and it'll go down.

I'm glad the quest system is being introduced, because I was really, really lost in how to open the other classes.

Oh and, Kirill Repin Art, is there any chance the girls could start with pubes, but then get ordered to shave along the way? I'd find that pretty hot, if it were in the game.

Also, I didn't really see much change in Hermione's title. It stayed on the default until I had pretty much unlocked most things. And, it was only at the end that I noticed that it had changed.

One idea might be for the title to be user-selected, and for each title to have some kind of affect on her stats, or something. I guess I'll start afresh to see how they unlock, and see if I do notice the changes. Now that I understand how to unlock things, I think I can do a better job of getting potions and things along the way, instead of right at the end, and spamming the potion class to get them.

Oh! And, for the longest time, I couldn't go on dates with Hermione, because I had raised the friendship stat too much, and I couldn't work out how to lower it. I see there's a potion for that, but as I say, I'm only now unlocking potions, at the end of the game. I had to use reprimand to get the friendship down (to see if I was missing out on the date stuff). Turns out, I had mostly done what's there, before I was locked out by friendship. But, it was irritating that I couldn't figure out how to lower friendship again.

Edit:
I spent a while getting everything, but try as I might, I never did get this last book (you see in the pic). I got all the other books in a rush, early on, when Hermione was still only on reading 1. But, even fully maxed out on reading 4, there's no sign of getting that book.

Edit2:
I actually got an error when I was playing.

This was the top part of the traceback:

While running game code:
File "game/scripts/galatea/galatea_labels.rpy", line 4, in script
menu:
File "renpy/common/00action_other.rpy", line 582, in __call__
rv = self.callable(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
File "game/scripts/galatea/galatea_functions.rpy", line 94, in cycle_wardrobe_item
variables = list(item_vars.keys())
AttributeError: 'RevertableList' object has no attribute 'keys'

I've decided to add a Quest system next and to script the beginning of the game in a quest form with Objectives. This way players will learn how to play, where to send Hermione etc., in a more natural way.
Current working prototype:

And the final(ish) design that I want to have:

I may sound mean, but i do it because of the potential of this game...

STOP! Stop adding stuff, it's already super convoluted. Game needs to have stuff CUT out.

Damn it, I've missed 'not' in a one line of the code, that's why 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' won't unlock.
$ trainer_ui_books_chatterley_activated = True
You can paste it in the console (Shift + O).

In v0.4.3.1 Reprimand and Leash can also lower Friendship, not just potion.

Status system is still WIP, here it's more of a prototype.

As for pubes, I'm afraid it's not something that I have plans for, but there will be lot's other content! Well, eventually.

You seem to misunderstand. By the looks of it, that quest book is supposed to to make it easier to see what is going on and what the player is expected to do to progress. That should make it less convoluted.

Lowering friendship was also a nightmare for me because Dark Arts classes are only at level 1 and you can't advance to a higher level. And it took a while to go from 5 to 0. Plus, without cheating, I never got Leash. I don't even know how to get it. And I didn't use Reprimand at all. Which was a slight mistake on my part, because it would have sped up the whole process. I only realized this after a few hours of grinding. But it would be nice if Dark Arts classes lowered more points at higher levels. Because currently, it only lowers 1 point.

Just started testing the new build (0.4.3.1)

On Day 1, after Hermione storms off the first class and we talk her down to lower her anger, we can ask us to walk with us instead of assigning a Wizarding Fashion class right away.
If we go to Fashion classroom with her, we can discuss the Hemline dilemma with her and professor Seam, which unlocks the professor's wardrobe.
Of course, there are no choices yet in the prof's wardrobe, but still: If we chose the Wardrobe+Collar "medallion" (the bottom one), we see two options, *Hairstyles* and Collar A. If we choose *Hairstyles*, we get two further choices: Submenu and *Hairstyles* (again). Both of those two choices cause an error (that we can probably safely ignore)

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

EDIT: I checked: the same exception error seems to also happen if we unlock prof's wardrobe by having the Hemline Dilemma chat solo instead of with Hermione

Hey, you're welcome. Reporting bugs is much easier than fixing them, so it's actually you who is doing the work, and who deserves our thanks
It's more of an annoyance having to build a new distribution just because I left 'not' in a place where it shouldn't be, and forgot to add 'not' where it was supposed to be. Honestly, reuploading it everywhere takes longer than fixing those issues lol.

While I could live with the book being locked, I couldn't just leave errors in Galatea's wardrobe.

Hey, if those were the only two bugs in the game, I'd say it was worth the annoyance and you deserve a cold beer.

While you're here, noticed one curiosity (not a bug, not even an anomaly): at night, with the new menu that allows us to either talk to Hermione or wish her Goodnight (thanks for that!),if you choose to talk to her, you can ask her to Tag along, as any other time period – and, if you go to the boys' dormitory, she'll say that she's not comfortable going there, and then she totally disappears (she's no longer in the common room). Makes sense that she would go to sleep, since it's late, but you could probably add a bit of dialogue there, to the effect that she will instead go to her room, or something.

Also, I just visited your Telegram page, and was surprised to see you use the word «Art» in Cyrillic letters, instead of the common «Isskustvo» (sorry, I don't have a cyrillic keyboard)...

'Kirill Repin Art' was sort of a 'brand name' I've used when I was working on comic book covers and decided to launch a Patreon page with some fanart. But when I've created a TG channel I initially posted in Russian and English, and I wanted to use just a Russian version of the name. Overtime I reverted to posting only in English, it being a 'lingua franca' and a lot of people subscribing from different places like Asia, South America, etc.

"Искусство", to me at least, means something a bit more high minded than the stuff that I do, so I use 'art' as more of a technical description, if that makes sense. To properly translate it to Russian, it would be something like 'The Art of Kirill Repin', which to me sounds a bit too pretentious lol

sorry if this sounds a bit much but is there instrustions for updates?
ie is it drag and drop and can you save your old saves.
Renpy saves are stored in two locations, both locally to the game, and in your user directory (which is usually hidden). If a game doesn't find local saves, it'll usually import saves from the user directory when you start the game. So, you don't really have to bother moving saves. Just start the new version, and it'll update the saves itself.
