Ren'Py Bright Past [v0.99.2] [Kosmos Games]
Sure, in fact, at first it seems that the game will be huge, because even at the very beginning we have access to more than a dozen characters. But still, it seems that even if we develop the plot paths of all the primary characters to the size between Barbara and Valerie, and the side characters between Penelope and Jane, there is actually still room for new storylines.
For example, you could develop a camgirl path to porn; or a job in a casino to a full-fledged escort (where you could have several changing clients).
But really, the biggest problem is that, despite appearances, it's all quite linear. It would be nice if we could have more decisions like we have now with Fred (and to be honest, I can't think of another case like it).
And as we have Music/Red Quarter/Underworld/Sports/Modeling, then frankly there should be several possible endings. And if you put it all together, it seems there would be not two but at least ten times as much content. And to be able to, get everything passed, you would need several different approaches.
The scene with Valerie was nice, but I don't think any of the three bugs I encountered were fixed.
I'm still missing a few playing cards, but since there is already some effort to get all locations for them above I won't reiterate that here.
I'm still missing some achievements. Notably, the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 9th, 10th, 16th, and 20th (last).
Also, since I've already done the last scene I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to get the scene of our sister's roommate. I read somewhere further in the thread that someone managed to figure out how to cheat the relationship level up, did this also include seeing the scene somewhere?
Regarding the talk in here about the less linear storyline. I think it's a very neat idea, but it would take a ton more time. Consider how long it took for even the few fully fleshed-out stories that we have now. Anyway, it would be nice, that is for sure.
- Take a selfie with nudists. (I already took the selfie, but still not completed)
- Go to the cinema with Ruby (Already had a first and second scene here, going back only shows me the first scene again)
- Talk to Fred. (I'm fairly certain the Fred storyline is already done, as I think I got him and his girl back together, and talking to him does nothing.
- Alex: The last scene is a lock. That is the scene after the scene with the pink/grey-haired girl with the green lingerie, not sure about her name.
- Snake, Adele: The only scene is a lock, also has the "See how things play out" marker, but there is nothing to do.
- Tanya, Jane, Bonnie, Leo, Margie: Still has a "See how things play out" marker, but nothing to do.
- Fred, Ingrid: As said above, I got them together but the quest still says to talk to them.
- Magnus: No story markers but the last two scenes are Locks.
- Ruby: The second to last scene is a lock. (I assume this is the same issue as the story issue noted above.)

The Fred task has to do with getting him clients and helping pick his girlfriend so you can continue to work out and gain strength etc. Talk to him at the gym. Once you talk to him and he asks for clients, you have to get him four (I believe) clients before he is satisfied and it progresses. Barbara, Valerie's boyfriend, Biker guy at the bar (can't remember his name), and can't remember the fourth person. If you get at least those three to join the gym, his story progresses. In the process of moving that forward, you will help pick his girlfriend. Both of those then unlocks him as your trainer in the gym.
Noticed a lot of members asking about different situations they are stuck on. The key is working on all the different tasks; certain tasks will not unlock because you may have stopped or not progressed another task far enough. At times, you will see "see how it goes" as an option in the tasks. That means something else has to happen to start that next step. Just knock out other tasks so that one can then progress. If you don't have any, work on random things and move the time/days forward. At some point that should trigger tasks to pop up and continue. So far with the exception of the one I posted up at top, I have been able to get every task to move forward and completed. The Ruby cinema after you have completed it once is a bug and won't go away; but you would have completed everthing up to the current version. Another key option to help figure out something you need to do is to look in the character menu; sometimes the character menu will give more specific information when the task menu does not.

Yeah, I did all that already. I even helped him pick his GF, but it's still stuck. That is what I meant with "I'm fairly certain the Fred storyline is already done, as I think I got him and his girl back together,"
> Noticed a lot of members asking about different situations they are stuck on. The key is working on all the different tasks; ... That means something else has to happen to start that next step. Just knock out other tasks ...
As I described, I have already finished every task that I can finish. I didn't exactly say this, but because some of the later tasks like the concerts require a ton of grinding/time-skipping it's safe to say that any task that would be triggered by time passing should have been triggered already.
> The Ruby cinema after you have completed it once is a bug and won't go away; but you would have completed everthing up to the current version.
Yeah, I just hoped that by posting this it would in some way trickle back to the dev that these bugs indeed still exist. I'd say that all three numbered elements I posted above are bugs for sure. I'd say that the ones where it says "See how things play out" are around 80% sure to be bugs, with a 20% possibility that I've missed something. Hence me posting about it here, where maybe someone can tell me what I've overlooked.
> Another key option to help figure out something you need to do is to look in the character menu; sometimes the character menu will give more specific information when the task menu does not.
Exactly, and when I was only left with things I did not understand I listed them here to see if anyone else knew what was up.

You can only enter Valeria's room after 3 am, if you complete the webcam event, you can sleep or have fun with her
yeah I mean it happened last time I tried to download the update so no idea

Weird, I have the same issue as the answer before mine, I already completed the client quests and made all the physical trasining, but the Fred hint is stuck there. Also in the supposed girlfriend (the chick in gym's counter) it says "Talk to Fred". Thanks for the detailes answer!
Any idea about how to unlock yhe last two scenes in Alex's gallery?
Ah thank you. I ran the timer past 2300 and little further but never ran it that far past to see if the room was unlocked. I am assuming you meant to say Barbara's room though.
Well then it might be a bug like the Ruby cinema issue. If you can train still and did the girlfriend thing, that's all there is to Fred. As for the other thing I will have to look. I have one missing as well (think it might be if you're alcohol addicted) which I have not completed. Have to look at the other to see what it is. I am still missing some cards and such so not 100% completed in every aspect myself.
My other post was specific after I read GaboCAP's post. I just specfically looked at yours and might have some ideas for your issues. Let's tackle them one at a time.
1. Nudist issue. I know you get caught while taking the photo BUT there is another scene where you run into Adele somewhere else. I also know I interacted with them a second time at the beach. Oh, I remember, you catch Jane with the nudist though I am unsure when that happened though, that might be a hangup with the task and Adele.
2. The Ruby cinema scene is a bug I am pretty sure since he reset the Ruby path in the last update. I didn't have any issue with her unitl after that and I had started a new game so my save would work going forward. Think were my save had some Ruby tasks already in it, when he did hte reset it messed something up.
3. For Fred if you chose the ending with Margie or Ingrid and on the character page it says he will train you with two blue dots, then you have done everything and that's a bug as well.
Alex's last scene is a lock. Is for me as well. Might be it's a placeholder for a future scene or the one thing I can think of is there is a random scene if you are alcohol addicted and you get caught leaving the bar drunk. I never did that one so I have it missing as well. Might be that.
Adele I talked about already, Snake if you did not have sex with him, it will prevent you from helping him work in the porn mag shop later and it won't go away. You would have to go back before that option comes up accept having sex with him and then it will move forward later once you met Mistress and need to help find Letitia a replacement. There is also a scene with Snake and Leo later at the band's practice area (Snake's band) that might not trip if you failed to have sex with Snake as well.
Bonnie you have several scenes with once you have completed at least two of the concerts. She is a fan and has a crush on you. When you go swim with her and your sister, she flirts with you. Go with everything there and it triggers another scene when you're looking for your sister in the ending scenes.
Leo I mentioned the extra scene above with Snake and he has at least two date scenes you should have completed. If you did those two and the scene with Snake, Leo should go away.
Jane has multiple scenes including the nudist which I mentioned as well as the arch with Mistress. Could be any number of scenes with her. So not sure but guessing if you get some of the others to disappear, she is probably in one of those and why it's still there.
Margie I put her with Fred (never did Ingrid) so I wonder if that might have caused your whole Fred, Ingrid, Marg issue. I have ran into her at the tennis court and at the coffee shop though wouldn't think those would cause her to not clear.
Tanya you have the swimming event with Bonnie which might cause your problem and you have the ending scene which if you have not completed those yet will make her events stay on the task bar. I had created a save just before going to Alice's house which triggers that event. Let's me go back in and do other stuff without ending the game.
Magnus scenes are the first time you give him a blowjob. Second is when you do it with no top and the third event (icon) is when you run into him at the gas station. Do it on a rainy day like normal. You'll see his truck in the parking lot and the attendent will be having sex with him. You can join them and that unlocks the last scene.
Finally Ruby's last scene is also locked with me. Either it's going to be a new event or it is a bug and problem with the whole cinema bug issue.
Think I covered everything in the list.
For achievements:
first is the watch everything on pornhub
third is smoke at least 50 cigarettes
fifth is go to the laundry and get fucked by getting stuck in the machine.
ninth is red light district, pay for the girl in the box to have sex with you
10th is locked for me as well. That might be the drunk and get used achievement I mentioned earlier. It is in the forum and that's how I found out about it. Just not sure where.
16th is swin without a swimsuit at the beach
20th is after 99.2 and Valerie and Barbara webcam event. Valerie catches you doing a webcam and joins then Barbara shows up. They will both come to the dinner tab with no bra on but you have to have done the same thing to make them do it as well.
BTW I don't have 10 or 19 achievement so if anyone knows that, I would appreciate figuring that one out as well.
Hope that helps.

First of all, let's understand what the computer gives you. 1. an opportunity to earn a little money by writing articles on various topics. If you already have 200-250 thousand (using the built-in reader) - the use of this income is not. 2. shopping online. Expensive perfume (in the early stages of the game is not necessary). A toilet table - allows you to automatically apply cosmetics and perfume. The value is questionable. 3. Access to a porn site. Excitement can be raised with the help of built-in cheats. 4. Access to ourfantasies. I passed the game without quests related to this resource, they do not affect the passage of the main plot.
Conclusions. You can continue the game without worrying about the laptop (I almost forgot - you need money for it. I hope you have it). Sooner or later you will have it, but the task will hang on for a while. I have the opportunity to buy it appeared on 2 or 3 hours of gameplay, possibly to show up need a certain value of some variables. Did not deal with it, because the problem with buying a laptop never occurred (3 times passed the game from scratch). Just keep playing the game.
What the hell is this? Why was it necessary to reduce the number of saves to 15 pages? Before this limit there was nothing and I used it. And now my last saves are much further than the 15th page and they are simply impossible to use. It was quite unpleasant.
