Ren'Py Bright Past [v0.99.5] [Kosmos Games]

[GaboCAP]

That's the same for me I just tried to do 5 and it remains locked...haven't gone back to do 9. I also have tasks 11 and 13 locked so another moment for backtracking.

13 is unlocked when working in the gloryhole, I guess than in both options.

Female Protagonist game. More lesbian contents than straight guys? Please anyone can confirm?

Resumed playing this game yesterday (haven't reached the concert parts yet) and so far I'd say yes. More enjoyable too (dating, corruption, etc.) but YMMV. The straight stuff seems definitely more puerile (holding comically over-sized dicks, getting bukkaked in the bus) or in line with "press button to get r*ped".

 

[Ernst Kurz]

It worked with number 9 indeed, but not with 5. The others, no clue about what to do.

Yes, you cannot replay the introductory scene in the parlor anymore. If you have access to the console you could set "persistent.achieve_6 = True". Same goes for the Casino: "persistent.achieve_7 = True". 10 is pregnancy, 11 the romp with Leo. Anything else?

Cool, thanks! You're almost a part of the game so far, we'll be lost at half gameplay without you!

where the saves are located in appdata?

Long live your opinion ... but this feels unjust. Nearly every action is optional, neither you need to become a ho or a lezzie to become a rockstar. There is a repeatable fling with the barkeeper as some kind of a "relationship" too. The imbalance and lack of decent likeable men cannot be denied but this will be addressed in upcoming versions, according to the latest dev's remarks.

you said it right. everything guy complained about her path is optional

from my pov largest problem is that looks like dev is more concentrated on redoing game than on progress, so real content of updates is shrinking. see new update: been with alice, talked to col.white, have flavi & cat scene, after that chick fight & i guess update is finished? it is 5 playable minutes update
overall i like visual upgrades. but i believe that most of us would rather see more actual story progress. otherwise upgrades are serving only to extend game's life spawn.

also i still can't understand why gallery totally replaced task manager. it is very difficult to follow progress just based on charachter list. sometimes i need to click through many charachters to find where is new task. sometimes ! appears and i can't find what has happened. gallery is great thing but still missing quest manager.
imo, some kind of quest manager or guide should be restored.

additional problem, that i wrote about earlier, i can't see all charachters. usually i can scroll up/down, but not at charachter list. am i missing something?

maybe your new walkthrough could help, but due to constant changes of previous material it would be partial and subject to re-writing with each update...

where the saves are located in appdata?

Appdata/Roaming/Renpy/BF-#########

Anyone know how to get achievements #10 and #11 and Painting #3

 

[Nerra]

You must, in this order (And by Sancho) :
- Renovate the basement (The main room)
- Equip the main room of the basement
- Ad the kitchen and another room
- Add the furnitures
- Inform Barbara regularly
- Speak to Valerie to have the phone number of Mattew (To have the material for a WebCam studio)
- Pay Mattew to install your studio
From memory

What basement? Where is it located?

Also "Meet Barbara at the gym (Sat,Sun)" I haven't been able to trigger.

Yes, I was through with the step-by-step part and now I can start to redact it again ... it's a nightmare.

There are no problems listed but I have seen this before, connected to old saves or mods. There should be 66 icons in the list after this update and maximum playthrough. I've seen big scroll bars besides the lists which aren't moving. I assume that the internal list is broken thus leaving the rendering incomplete.

also i still can't understand why gallery totally replaced task manager. ...

Your game seems really broken. There is a new option "Only active". Now you can easily boil down your NPC's. I wasn't very happy about the loss of the quest manager myself, on the other hand this would be messy too now. Only the walkthrough will help ;-)

An evergreen. Updates are too short for a long time now ... But I think this update produced more progress than remake, so there is hope that the early renders and the basic functionality are to the dev's liking now. In general, the larger the game or program, the more difficult it is to stay or to appear productive. Now would be the time to add another serious guy to the team but this wont happen here. Rendering capacity is limited, coding is getting more and more complex. Right now, we can only expect big linear events, small extensions to the side quests and tiny additions to the daily cycle. Don't forget, version 1.0 is just 12 updates ahead. Then the fun is over.

this is what i see - no scrolling. (pretty much new saves, no mods)

There is a new option "Only active".

i found it meanwhile. it is helping indeed
btw active only is still showing 3 icons (alex, col.white, flavi) although each says no new content. is this because one locker still exists with alex? i can't see what i missed.

that's truth

well, dev opened so many possibilities, subpaths and charachters that he has material for soap opera. if 1.0 is really the end, then obviously, he won't develop these side stories (what is going to be with mistress, arctic cafe, alex's sister, val's sister, flavi...). with recent progress ratio i doubt music star path can be finished neither

 

[Larpus]

I've quite enjoyed this thusfar. I think I have a bug though, according to the log I should be able to talk with Tanya in the dorm. She's there painting at an easel, but not clickable for me at all - started from a fresh save but I'm playing in English. Otherwise good stuff!

So the MC here is mostly just lesbian? She prefers gals than guys?

There are two entries: "Talk to Tanya at college on a working day" or "Visit Tanya in the dorm". Which one are you refering to?

But possibly, the list entry has not been updated. Tanya should be painting in the park on a weekend around noon after getting back to her. Try again there.

 

[Larpus]

Specifically it says in the dorm where I do see her painting but unclickable, I'll try the park on the weekend.

Ha, your mouse has no scroll wheel, I assume. Yes, Bright Past needs special hardware ...

Nah, these orange dots are for the side quests. This looks like a bug. It refers to the highway sluts. The condition for the symbols have been confused, so after the Flavi/cat-event it shows a missing task instead the full dot. And the quest entries are tedious work, I think the dev just didn't finish them correctly.

... with recent progress ratio i doubt music star path can be finished neither

He will force us through somehow ... I expected a complete new project afterward but now I think he will setup a chapter 2.

 

[ThisIsMe88]

She starts as straight (men 10/10 women 0/10), but you get opportunities to change whom she feels attracted to during the game.

notebook, no mouse, just pad...

Some touchpads have a dotted line on the right or a general scroll area there. Sometimes the mouse driver needs to be configured too for scrolling. I remember this for Lenovo and Synaptics pads in general. Sometimes it helps to press the left button and move the finger vertically above the pad. Cursor needs to be over the NPC list, of course.

Unlikely with a non-modded PC/Mac-version and a savegame >= 0.8. The variable is correctly initialized at startup, normally.
