I ended up getting multiple errors while helping out Pauline at the park. I was holding Skip if that matters. Pressed ignore after the one I posted here and a couple more popped up before continuing the event.

Yeah, I fixed that last night. Ren'Py can be very silly and stubborn when it comes to simply renaming a folder. If it's not what it's used to using, it'll either have to force itself to adapt or just refuse to work altogether, even though it would work just fine if it simply opened up and looked inside a newly named folder.

l like the style, but in my opinion the speed of development is rather low
Me and Gzone wish we could work full time on this game, but we're not at that level. It's only the two of us, minus the animations guy, lnsc, who we commission for sketches for animation. GZone then has to line, color and do background work for any animation involved.

It's nice to see that the Devs were putting much effort in this update. I had my fun, for sure. But the writing was more than off the tracks. Especially the Sam part on the school dance.

Still a great thank you to GZone and MorahZamora and everyone else involved in this game.
If I may ask, what might I improve about the writing? I will say, watching some of the dialogue presented in the show again recently, I wasn't exactly thrilled with how the dynamic was shaping up between Sam & Danny, or I at least worry it was too quick for things to be happening this early along in the "show" as it were. I have to chalk it up to the idea that Sam got drunk and just got a little too open with her feelings this time around.

Sighs saying and old animation is new is kind of low.
I made the point of saying we incorporated older stuff back in during the previous Desiree update, cause I didn't want it to come across as saying "new", for the reasons you certainly feel. I didn't write the minimal changelog this time around, however, which is far shorter than the actual list of changes and implementations put in by the way. He said he hadn't put much effort into writing it because he was tired (understandably so, believe me) and just wanted to put the update out ASAP.

So, from what I've been reading there are some amount of bugs and the writing is cringy/cheesy in this release? That's pretty unfortunate. Oh well, I was planning to wait until the Maddie release anyhow. I do very much want to support this game on Patreon but only when content that appeals to me is being worked on.
If that's your prerogative, all power to you. :) I think the update after the next one (cause this was only half the update for the dance, we still have to put Paulina and Star in), will have exactly what you're looking for. I personally haven't found the errors present that people are noting (minus the Dash one, that one is pretty obvious, and has since been fixed, soon to be updated), but I can understand certain people just not liking the dialogue all that much , even though I've seen more positive feedback than bad. Maybe it was just this update, but I've also thought they've all been pretty similar in terms of quality... minus the self inserts we added recently... oof...

So in the Desiree cowgirl scene, Desiree mentions not being able to get pregnant cause shes a ghost, but Box Lunch exists in the canon. The daughter of the Box Ghost and the Lunch Lady. Just wanted to throw that out there in case it gives the creators ideas for a "mistakes were made" story in the future.
I explained it a little while ago, I don't think humans and ghosts can properly have babies together, even with half-ghost DNA involved. However, this is my justification for the answer, and I can't say even I fully agree with it. It's just so we don't have to do pregnancy until a more end-gamey feel to the game. Worse comes to worse, we'll say that Danny has to wear some sort've Ecto-belt to get ghosts pregnant or some such phoowie. It's all made up anyway, none of this is canon. Lol

For those of you interested (maybe 1 of you), I'm currently taking exact steps and measures to make sure that we don't have character portrait overlap anymore due to tab skipping through dialogue or pressing spacebar to speed along transition scenes.

It is not my business, but for 2 years of the game development is possible to make more. 600+ patrons is a good motivation. Anyway, I like your game and I respect you as a game developer, but I want to advice not to be lazy and you will get 6000+ patrons instead of 600+.

Well I've only been on since September, and this has been my first big forray into game development. I also blame my own motivation, certainly, but we also literally cannot live off the amount of cash we're both earning, monthly, between the two of us, it's just not feasible. Our other priorities often take a good portion of our time outside of the game, unfortunately. I appreciate your feedback, of course! :cool:

Again I don't think the cheat code working as mentioned before
Capitalization, underscores, pressing enter and not clicking the scene arrow, all very important steps.
