VN Ren'Py Abandoned A.O.A. Academy [Ch.5 Gold] [TLGGAMES]

[Arigon]

Quick question-
If I played the 5-Beta, is there enough of a difference to warrant downloading and playing the gold now, or wait for another update?
Peace

Tomato sauce, mozzarella and a lot of chorizo . That's a really tasty-looking pizza if you ask me.
Anyway, it seems like it was served uncut. They will not face the same problem as a friend of mine who went to a pizzeria and this happened:
- Hi there, I'll have a takeaway medium-sized pizza, double cheese, mushrooms, capers, salami and bacon.
- Sure. Do I cut it into 4 or 8 portions?
- Pffff, only 4 please. I don't think I'd be able to eat 8.

*lol* Vivid had that joke acted out in Busting the Babysitter in 2008 with an "old bat" pornstar that looked fine from neck to waist, but the rest not so much. And yes, the slightly confused pizza guy really just delivered pizza. No action for him.

Goddamn it Ashley, just let MC and Sung Ji date in peace. Get out of here with your "I'm not giving up on him" BS. We really should been able to answer "yes" to her "Am I just a friend to you" question, instead of this "I don't know" non-committal nonsense.

Considering I've modded both VN's in your sig to an extreme.... you know I can make that happen. Are you passionate enough in that stance that it'd be worth my time to code it in as a SanchoCheat (an anti-Ash button)? It'd be a chore but it's certainly doable.

I would love that option. I do not think it's worth your time and effort, though. Considering how popular Ashley is, I might literally be the only user who would ever pick that option. And if it might lead to saves being broken down the line, I would rather keep rejecting Ash over and over. I appreciate you taking the time to ask.

To be fair, I'll consider while I'm porting... and I've never (to date) had a situation where my mods break saves although nothing is ever guaranteed. A literal shit-ton of testing goes into each release to insure the utmost integrity, of course. I'll see what I can do. Regards and best to you and yours, sincerely.

Bucketbot89 If it makes you feel any better... even the dev forgets to capitalize her name periodically so you can take that for whatever grain of salt there is

SanchoSplits example:

Those who know about SanchoSplits are already aware that everything is attempted to keep your playthrough as pure as possible even though you're technically cheating by selecting to view split scenes. Stats are kept as close to 100% pure as possible given time constraints (my personal time commitment to each split). The following is an example of such a split for those who haven't used a SanchoMod before.

Note that in this particular sequence the player selected SanchoSplit, then favored Valery. By doing so the player is awarded all the benefits as if only Valery was selected but is allowed to see all the splits. Note that when it's Becca's turn her choice that would normally award a stat change with her is disabled since the player chose to favor Valery. If Rebecca had been chosen as favored then the choice would be enabled for the player as if only Rebecca was chosen (non-split). You get the idea I reckon... it's fucking rock-solid as always. Here's some teasers to wrap it up:

​

Regards. I'm back to it after refreshing my Crown & Coke. Cheers.

Edit: Shit, I forgot to add. You folks that don't like spoilers while playing (ChoiceGuide aka a walkthrough) just know that SanchoSplits are NOT active if the guide is turned off. I got your back too. This is what the screen looks like if you have the Sancho ChoiceGuide turned OFF (the button is there but disabled so it's not selectable):

Wait... from what I understand, in the morning class in ch5, when MC finally meets girls in Jenny's group after got beaten in ch4 (except Jen and [Jen & Jade videocall in ch4] if on their path) they didn't bother to ask or react how MC's bruises are if you're not in their paths right? For example, in Val's and Aurora's path, they talk about that beforehand via phone in the morning freeroam (Phone only freeroam?) at MC's dorm. But in Rebecca's path, there's no interaction or reaction any shape or form. Let alone, MC never has Rebecca's number in the first place right? (Or was that a bug?)

Good afternoon.

A little SanchoMod update teaser if I may.

First of all, those that don't give a hoot about my work then please disregard this wall of text post. I'll likely not change your thoughts so no need to read any further and waste your time. For the rest, check it out:

While porting over my old beta mod from last year to current I've been adding even more new features to Core v6 of the mod. Folks accustomed to SanchoMod will know that one of the muscle features is the dynamic freeroam abilities with a couple highlight examples being 1) the Bella plant watering freeroam in BaD, 2)the Flink Mansion freeroam in Eternum, 3) the Private Jet freeroam in LoF, etc. One thing that was always missing that I had started coding out some time back but hadn't finished was SanchoHover help for the freeroam events. That base code has now completed.

Remember that the freeroam task information in the MiniStat screen still dynamically changes according to where the player is at and what tasks are still yet to be completed, that doesn't change. What does change is the new information available when you hover a hotspot while in those freeroam events. This information also changes dynamically depending on your previous choices, current stats, etc, so keep that in mind. I thought of capture some teaser pics and writing descriptions but realized that wouldn't portray the feature properly so I made a quick video teaser.

This video teaser highlights the "Hover Info" category while in freeroam. The end of the video highlights a few other new features such as the menu choice opacity adjustment, etc.

​

Obviously this is not the most complex freeroam event to example but should give you an idea of the power that's going to be in your hands (if desired, it can always be turned off on the fly, in realtime of course). Here's an example of the dynamic guide working even on the hotspots:

That's it for now, I'm busy at it and enjoying a Crown & Coke as usual.

Regards and have a good one,
- Sancho

Added teaser pics of the HoverInfo dynamically changing depending on previous choices just like the ChoiceGuide and FreeRoam guide already do. Hopefully this will let folks see how powerful this can be during each individual playthrough as it let's you know what will be awarded (negative or positive) and if it's not awarded what is required to achieve it.

this picture is actually a great example of this game as a whole.

What is the difference between chapter 5 and chapter 5 gold. Its like a small update?

Play only gold beta doesn't have all the content

 

[markyzac]

Is there any scene with Valery i got nothing even though I have some 20 relationship points.

 

[alexanders]

Yes there is, during the freeroam at AOA after Finn has a talk with Reb and MC. Are you sure that you are on Val's path only? Being on others path might not trigger the event with Val. I'm not sure since I don't have time to play all paths yet...

I think I messed up somewhere have to play Valery path from the beginning again

Thanks for all the greats updates on your mod, I have used it a few times and knew exactly what you talked about when mentioning those 3 freeroam scenes, Keep up the good work.
Have a nice day.

Hey Guys, Can anyone tell me what changes are made in the prologue?

 

[rainnnnnn]

If anyone ever says MC is smart just remember the MF actually wore flip flops to the date with Elizebeth....

 

[alexanders]

Hey Guys, Can anyone tell me what changes are made in the prologue?

I'll rewrite and add some scenes in the prologue chapter along with the first chapter to make her less forceful in her approach. However, this will necessitate a full replay of the prologue chapter, which I don't think that most people would like to do.

I didn't expect people to hate her as much as they did. Maybe it's a writer's bias, or perhaps it's because I already knew her story while writing the prologue chapter.

There is an imbalance of power dynamics between the MC and Jenny, which is because she's rich and owns half of the school and the player being a normal person who comes from a farm. But the imbalance won't stay that way forever, in the next few chapters it'll shift and become a healthy relationship between Jenny and MC.

That's what he said but I tried so hard to spot the difference and couldn't find any. Correct me if I'm wrong, my best bet is that he subtly changes some of the dialogs(or maybe rearrange them), so that we didn't feel that different.
PS. I have no problem about Jenny's personality and her approach to begin with

Nice update. Even if the game is still overly dramatic the update has some good scenes with the girls.
On the other hand Adam is such a mustache twirling villain
I hope there is a twist and that the real antagonists kill him soon because that dude is retarded.
Maybe that's what the Mafia dudes are trying to do manipulating the MC.
Let's hope the MC is a fan of Johnny Cash, he's a country boy after all.
