Ren'Py Straitened Times [v0.50.0] [HRelease]

[SISIMEN]

It seems like there is a cheat mod now. I might give it a try again when it is updated.

Suggestion: Don't bother. I wanted to like this game as well, and honestly have enjoyed more than a few sandbox games...those that had a decent hint system and didn't require a mind-numbing amount of grind and repetitive scene viewing just to get a minor advancement in the story/game. I have attempted multiple methods for reducing the grind, Console Commands, Cheat Modification, Spreadsheet (to track daily events, etc.) and it all just sucks the enjoyment out of the game.

As I was explaining to someone else, I don't play games to cause myself more frustration and stress, I experience enough of that everyday - games, be definition are supposed to be fun, even a bit challenging, not a lifelong commitment to a non-linear process that result in increased stress.

I believe this game has great potential and a varied story to tell, just too much of the grind for me.

On a side note, I feel as though there are more than a few of these games that would benefit from a simpler approach and a complete brain-dump before beginning production. Laying out the story and completing the script prior to even beginning the process would create a roadmap for the developer and, like any story or game, allow for a system of game-play that makes it much more enjoyable for the player.

Yeah same. I play these games to escape reality for a little bit. I still might try this again with the cheat mod to see if it makes things more enjoyable. But I am not going in with very high hopes.

[Pretaro]

Do you have errors' texts?

Nope, when I start a new game, when i touch the first letter for the name, it crushes; when I open the load menu, after 2 seconds, it crushes.

 

[dimikoko]

yes, some, but not for this case, just does not show me any bottle although deducted the money

 

[dirani]

Am I the only one that the conflict cheat command doesn't work?

 

[yunmaster]

Don't need any other reason.
Is there a game here that keeps updating like this?
Absolutely not.
The developer "HRelease" was undervalued.
I hope a lot of people know that. And let's cheer for him.
And developers have to emulate him.
He keeps updating as he planned.
He doesn't need any feedback. Let's just trust him and sponsor him.
I never give this kind of praise to anyone.

Victoria(lawyer) is one for example. There's a scene where we fuck her at the office, but every time I go there we just talk about the case, I have no idea what is the trigger.

There's the scene with the sexshop owner, Scene with the detective inside an elevator(?), sex with both sisters in the same room, and so on.

I totally agreed with yunmaster. He is a reliable developer, besides the fact that it keeps the story interesting and hot. Good work!

Never really got the grind comments. I don't think I've ever had trouble finding the new content. Maybe this type of game just clicks for me or something idk

Why would you need a spreadsheet to keep track of daily stuff? the game does it for you in the "Locations vs Persons" phone menu. Or am I stupid, and you're talking about something else?
