Ren'Py Bright Past [v0.99.6.1] [Kosmos Games]

[rlduck]

Man, that took a weird twist. For all the folks wanting to avoid getting raped you can't avoid after the concert. Not sure I like the way that was played out. I really enjoy this game but being in forced conditions isn't for me.

I'm also stuck in the wait for Michael loop where when you are done with it, it didn't clear. Also, the Barbara quest which I had done months ago restarted and its stuck now because I can't buy a revealing outfit because I've already bought it before. The bugs in this game are really weird and there is a ton of them lol.

were is that ?

I'm way past that point, there's no Café anymore.

Ok did you go and talked to Misstres ? and do you have the Casino as workplace ?
Normaly you wait a few weeks and then talk with paris but I passed that a few months ago so don't remember well

 

[xapican]

rlduck It's a bug GaboCAP and Myself are in the same situation not sure if dev knows about it

Yeah, i'm beginning to think my main quest is bugged. Last thing was the concert if i remember right. I've done all things with every character except Jesus, he has a "See how things play out" in his log but nothing ever happens

 

[xapican]

Rastahunden the Cafe it takes about 4 or 5 weeks, you'll recive a text, only thing bugged as far as I discoverd is the Concert from last update, when you trigger the Barbara quest, and you had it already done then it will reset in to a loop

You have continued a previous save.
Some content and quests reset when they have had changes.
Not only in this but also many other games.

In this particular case there simply is no solution.
Unless you manually edit the save with some editor and change some sort of flag in it.
The developer is russian and thus the abbreviations often don't really make sense to english talking people.

But since with editing saves you could destroy way more things than you intend to fix it is not recommended by a long shot to even try.

Especially if like in this case the issue is purely superficial as you can advance the questline for the hot arctic even if this quest which leads you to the arctic cafe which does not exist anymore is supposedly active.
It only is the text in the quest log that is there. Nothing else. You are best off by simply ignoring it.

 

[xapican]

Brannon , just thinking, If it were so then IE Barbara, the Shelter and all related should be reset, the mask should be gone, the Gym quest as well since she is in there, etc.etc.
Maybe I did Missread what you meant but for me you're implying that after each new update the game has to be restarted, so what is the point to save then ? besides to continue playing that version after a break, or to explore different branches ?

I'm not going to lie. I finally decided to download and play this game, and Iwant to like it, but the game is an absolute slog at best. I have no clue how to increase my courage, ability to speak up, or move things forward with certain characters. I am currently stuck at a courage of four and feel like I am spinning my wheels. This thing seriously needs a walk-through, or least some better indicators on what you need to do to reach certain events.

Here Hopeless outdated, but if you are new to the game it helps as it explains the mechanics

Thanks for the assist; however, Alex is refusing to touch the waste bin. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

How I said is outdated, It has been changed after keep playing the quest line it will eventually unlock I play this game since version 0.4 and passed that a long time ago sorry

I also have the problem with repetitive quests.
For example, Barbara's story starts again but hangs now that she is asked to buy a mask and dress. You can buy the mask, but not the dress. And what you already have in your inventory is not accepted.

Question about letty. Is the potential porn seller already in the game? So far I didn't get any conversation options to offer someone this job.

 

[xapican]

Mercedes at what point of the game are U ? The potential pornseller is snake, The Guitarrist of Combat Faggots, the Band Owl sends you to and you have to have sex with him else he won`t tell you that he looks for a job It is all discussed page 397 - 398

If there are serious updates in a quest without complicated care that quest can end up not noticing that it was done previously.
For instance when the flag in the code that is set after the quest is touched in any way.
THAT quest and not other events as well.

After an update that had written "Changed old quest XYZ" in the changelog somewhere it is wise to start over.
As can be seen in this case it may very well still work, but not without visual bugs and glitches.
That not only applies to this game, but to every game be it AAA or indie porn game.
For AAA games you often have a warning message that you can/should not load an older save ...

 

[xapican]

Ok, got it, I play this game since 4.0 and never a problem, only once the dev said to start over it was in .6 or so anyway thank's for the info.

 

[Brannon]

For IIRC 0.91 there was the same caution message in the patreon post as it fucked up the cooking system. It would throw an error if continuing an old save, but was okay in a new game.
In 0.93 the music and songwriting portion got a rewrite that very rarely did lead to errors and save corruptions.
These are only two of many instances. There were a number of versions where there were warnings of this kind in the changelog or the patreon post.

If a new version only has additions it should be fine to continue older saves.
If a new version has changes to existing stuff it may or may not cause errors if you continue older saves.

 

[kauno]

The latest main story quests don't trigger for me. Is there something that needs to be done?
