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

[Ernst Kurz]

I can deal with the grind but can't make a save at any point. Is this from the update or on my end?

Never seen THAT - on PC. A full harddisk maybe? - There were some issues with local saves on Mac. But this version is unofficial and from nowhere. I assume a problem with access privileges.

Visually the game's really impressive.
Straightforward enough to play without a walkthrough so thats a plus.

No idea what the dev was thinking with the gigantism in pic related but it's only scene where that happens.



I appreciate the humor of this exchange.

I see the rape tag, but is there actual rape or just that psuedo rape crap people love so much.

well there are a couple of rape scenes. one scene includes the main character and 1 doesnt. but you have to know that this game does not have that much of lewd scenes yet specially compared to other games but it has a very smooth and cool game-play and awesome graphic.

Yeah, thx, this is a missing sprite. Could not reproduce it yet. Which clothes does your Alex wear in the second attempt? Anyway, nice try ;-)

Thanks as always
I don't remember for sure... i think i tried all clothing options

I like the game but you are stopped from advancing until you gain courage, and I am stuck at 4. Even using the walkthrough I can seem to gain more courage.
Do I have to see the Wizard?
I saw the download with the bad girl/good girl saves but I don't want to miss out on game play.

Well, it's been over a year since I first gave the Demo of this VN/Game a go... Not a huge amount of change on the visuals, and it has some other additions that I didn't see initially... Such as a questing system, cell phone game mechanics, and so forth... I did expect there to be more content then what we typically see, on average, for a year plus worth of development, but it is what it is... The initial thoughts, when the demo was released, that perhaps the developers might be putting more emphasis on good story telling, is not the case any more... There is lots of story text, dialogue, etc... But there are still many text issues (that have persisted since day one), as well as some occasional poor story telling... Added to all that, the direction this VN/Game's going, is pretty much down the grindy and over the top porn fest path... It's not hugely grindy, but I do feel it has some unnecessary game play mechanics that do add some tediousness to the grind, that it does have... I went ahead and updated my review...

This is what I see whenever I try to save. (This is on Mac just in case)

Ok, as expected, related to permissions. Maybe it helps to move the game into a folder in your user-space. You could also try one of the following:

Since this is not the official version you will have the uncompiled script files *.rpy sitting around in the "bright-past/game"-folder. First try: Change the place where the save-files are stored. Open "options.rpy" with an text editor and change line 139 into:
define config.save_directory = "~/Library/RenPy/BF-1490368329"
Save the file and restart the game, try again.

Second, if first is not working:
There is a script.rpy. Open it with your editor and change the fourth line from above reading "config.save_dump = True" to "config.save_dump = False" or comment the line out with an # in front. But I have no clue what could happen next on Mac.

Two Dead ends.. 1. When i Talk to Barbara ant either tell her i like girls or not nothing happens + can´t do anything
2. When fucked by Penny in the shower - the animation stays. Nice view but playing afterwards is imposible.

Number One is a bug when asking her in HER room in the morning. It should not happen when asking her elsewhere (in the afternoon in the livingroom for instance). If you are comfortable with the machine I could also attach a fixed file for copying into a specific folder.

About number Two: someone wrote that it is solved with the latest version. But if not you could try my recommendation at this post, at the bottom above ---.

I've got exactly the same. I have a Mac, I am administrator, I am in my user space...

Reading the newspaper having 1k + cash but I'm never able to actually make the call to buy the laptop :/ (on 0.2). It always says insufficient cash to buy it..

IIRC, you have to have the money on your card, not in account or wallet.

Then try one of the two options if you feel ready to edit some files. Always close the game before editing. The second change should change the error message at least. It is possible that these kinds of error messages are misleading.

The second option definitely worked. Thanks for that man.

Stuck at 12 Courage, trying to meet the other worker in Havana, but she's not asking to borrow money? Do I need a specific amount on my person?

Any idea where i can find the basement key?

WTF IS WITH THIS UPDATE?
EVERYTIME I GO OUTSIDE ITS RAINING AND I CANNOT WORK TO GET THE UMBRELLA

Yeah, the rain thing needs to be toned down, but it doesn't really wreck the game. Just wait a day (you can eat for free at 0800 and 2030) by just advancing the clock, so it wastes maybe 5 minutes of the player's time.
