I am not talking the text file, i am talking the variables in game. Like i change stress, it changes back to original
Please use the Debug menu for changes, that is what it is there for. You will note that it does not offer you to change stress. That's because things just don't work that way. Stress is a calculated value. So your change gets overwritten by the recalculation.
To lower stress, raise morale and behavior instead (or even lower academic).

Quick question, on PC version i can config the rpy file to get the console command, how about android ? Is there anyway to cheat sir ?
I don't know anything about the Android port, so I can't help you. If the same game_data.rpy file exists there, then I'd assume that modifying it will make the Debug menu appear on Android too.

In short: API and internal systems polish, followed by an expansion and balancing pass of all existing events.
For details, see (and following posts)

I am basically done with the system updates I wanted to do, leaving "just" the pass over all events - which is actually the main body of work.

New content, in the sense of events and policies wirtten from scratch by me, will only happen in 0.6

Since there were questions in this thread about renaming the example mod, and I just got asked about how to rename the club contained in the example mod, I decided to write up a howto for it.
In 0.5, it will be contained in the readme.txt of the example mod.
Until then, you can find it in the new thread I just created for modding help:


Of course you can ask me modding questions here just as well, but any knowledge I write up will get duplicated into that thread so that it can be used as a reference ressource.

EDIT: I've also written a new progress update in for anybody curious about what I am working on for the next version.

I like the way the game plays in general, but one thing that I feel could be improved is that the schools descent into debauchery feels a little too smooth. There's no one who ever questions the changes happening to the school. I feel like the experience would be more engaging if there were periods of straight sailing and also periods of pushback.

Depending on how long it takes, most people would not even notice, unless they were of the kind to bother about it, they would simply chalk it up to the people themselves change, most people only tend to notice sudden changes to this sort of things, if they change their view on sex or what not over a couple of years, well who can say if there is a problem or if they are just naturally changing their view on things. For examply, going from a person who says they intend to remain a virgin to a gang bang slut over night would be noticed, doing the same change over say a couple of years, well it would be written off as the person changing their mind, or changing their priorites, sure friends and family may think it a bit odd, but people do change sometimes quite a bit over time, its the instant changes that draw attention.

Good idea, thank you. :)
This is all in the realm of new events and new event chains. I plan to open the doors for that for version 0.7, then we'll see what ideas I get from others (or come myself up with, for that matter).
0.6 will be focused on an overhaul and polishing of the existing events and content though.

That people don't notice gradual changes as much is very true of course. It's why I am trying to make the whole descent into debauchery as gradual as possible. Just so that the whole scenario seems somewhat believable (though we are still talking about a porn game of course).
None the less single students trying to rebel and what you as a principal do about that might make for some engaging content. Somebody just has to write it all, and have pictures for it. ;)

I reached 0 inhibition and 100 deviance in less than a year and a half, which might color my perception. In addition to students it would seem likely that teachers, parents, school authorities or similar might also object.

You are also talking about teenagers, female ones at that, they can change their mind overnight, or with a speed that gives you whiplash, changing things over a year and half is the sort of thing nobody would really pay that much attention to, unless mind control and such is a know thing in the world, in which case various overwatch groups may well pay attention to such things.

And just because nobody in the world says anything, does not mean that things have not been noticed, just nothing has been said, things could be happening out of sight so to speak, if the government heavy mob so to speak is going to do anything, the last thing they are going to do is make you aware of the fact they are going to do somthing, chances are the first you would be aware things are going on, is when the heavily armed police, soldiers storm the place and arrest you.

On my opinion, game just needs more events with possible bad outcome if the changes were made too quick. So you can risk loosing everything, or be forced to take few steps back in a few days after making a wrong move.

Given most of the time you're chasing events to make things happen(Because the growth is slow-to-nil otherwise) and sitting on your hands just watching time passing and basically skipping time, waiting for money and stuff, I question this. 2-3 years, a day at a time.

I'm not arguing that people would go "this is impossible, something unnatural must be happening." I'm arguing that people would go: "I don't like these changes, I don't want them to happen." I absolutely don't think parents would fail to react to their teens having sex at school just because the changes took place over a year and a half, and I think having some opposition would make the game more fun.

I feel like much of the pushback you are asking for is already simulated in some of the games mechanics, namely the reputation stat, events that are publicly knowable that deviate too far from societies norms already deduct reputation.
The main thing that the game needs in that regard is making the management of reputation and scandals more involved with more meaningful decisions. Maybe if you have policies that are scandalous you have events regarding what you can do to try and keep the parents and wider public knowing about the schools activities so reputation becomes something more actively managed rather than just another stat that trends up or down. Also would make certain upgrades more useful such as having the dorms mitigating a lot of the events due to students primarily living on site reducing the amount of information that leaks to the general public.
