Ren'Py Bright Past [v0.99.8.1] [Kosmos Games]

[Brannon]

I stopped playing this game about 2 years ago when save games were invalidated with one update. While I understand that happens it made me reluctant to get on the next update, especially since I felt there was little content being added despite fairly frequent updates. So is this game going anywhere or is there just random content being added with no coherent strategy?

Err ...
Little bit of both it seems.

To be perfectly honest it feels a bit like the overall premise of becoming a rock star fell down somewhere and it is now about becoming a village bicycle.

It's included in the game...

Some events are, mainly the main story, but there is a lot of - See how things play out. And seems some events does not trigger until something from other quest who has the same description is done.
Oh and the basement key, if I wouldn't read in the forum whot to do I probably would search it for weeks(gametime).

Opportunities occur when it's time. When you read a book, you don't need to know at the beginning the main events of the story.
When you talk about the basement, you don't need to know at the begining that there is a basement to discover and use. When the time comes, you find out, that's all. There are enough actions able to be done at any moment of the game to have fun.

This is a game, not a book. It is not even Visual novel. As it stated in tags it is a sandbox (A sandbox game is a video game with a gameplay element that provides players a great degree of creativity to interact with, usually without any predetermined goal, or alternatively with a goal that the players set for themselves. well this is definition I found in wiki, but I already knew that). So normaly in sandbox there are a few posibilities for example to discover new neighbourhoods, or they are open at ones because in sandbox you can do and go whenever you want.
And infos or at least hints about npc and their activities could be provided for example by those nps.

I kinde like the art and story in this game, but some things are stuped and made just for the GRIND, ahm STUPID GIND.

On my opinion, it's not a sandbox. The game is built like a tree with a trunk (the main story) and branches with different additional side stories.
In a sandbox, you built the main story according to you choices. (The end will be different depending on how you play)
Here, you can't change the main story, you can only choose the side stories you want to live.
For the grinding, it's limited, and it's the same as for all stories when you need to earn money.
PS : You have many ways to make money...

ON YOUR OPINION??? THERE IS LITERALLY THE GAME TAG - SANDBOX. If it stated as sandbox it should be sandbox, otherwise this tag must be removed.

No need to shout, laugh! Better to write to Kosmos.
I just give my opinion, please don't shoot !

The Game has Sandbox mechanics, but If you don't apply the "Sandbox tag" all hell will break loose, I agree with what Yoli posted, he is only saying that it is not a "Real Sandbox" thats it, so I fail to see your shout out ?

 

[Yoli]

Another remark to Kosmos :
The screenshots illustrating the game are definitely outdated!

 

[triffids]

* The appearance of the porn shop has been changed. Now, as posters, I use images created by me using a neural network.

lol

 

[S1lyaaan]

My guess is this is a bug, but I'll ask anyway just to be sure. Is it or not? Because the only interaction I get with Fred is "I'll Come Later". Is there a hidden pre-requisite or requirement? Is he available at a different location and what time?

Thanks in advance!

I play game in Tab A7 Android platform and always got crash in few touch, tried 0.95 and 0.96 version, does anyone have the same like me when play in Android?

Yes.

Relatively the same as with the "Barbaras Quest Loop" the quest entry for fred does not move on.
In this case the quest is finished but the quest log shows not finished.
There are a few others like that.
The "Find a Job" quest sometimes reappears after a while. Mostly after the "Arctic Cafe" got rebuilt as "Hot Arctic" as technically Alex lost her waitress job ...

I restarted the game and now hitting CTRL no longer skips any dialogue. Is it a bug or has it been removed?

The previous content has at some points been rewritten.
A comma here, a changed syllable there.
That means in the eyes of RenPy some of this older content is new to you and thus does not skip that.

An option to "skip unseen text" is available.
That is a RenPy feature and not a game feature.

I wanted the MC to have interactions with Letty. But for this need to go through contact with Snake. But I don't need Snake. Therefore, my MC will have nothing to do with him. And this means that my MC and Letty will have nothing! - It's a pity!
It would be great if there could be interactions with Letty without having to have interactions with Snake!

Now, after the latest update, the hope that the MC's will have interactions with Sarah is also gone. Moreover, now I will no longer go into the store so as not to know and not to see what is happening with Sarah! Sorry for Sarah!
It would be great if could avoid what happened to Sarah in the last update!

(By the way, that's why I don't go to Jill's either!)

 

[uncommonsence]

Some lesbian choices are locked because Alex is "straight"(The one with the rocker girl after going to the old school, and with Barbara when helping her clean). How do I change that? I'm activly seeking lesbian content but don't know anymore I can do to get lesbian points

any hints how to deal with it in latest version?
orient=2 did not help

 

[Peccable]

Thing is that truly is a bug and you can sort of brute force it, as the bug is the quest log does not advance, the quest itself does.
To do that simply force the next stage of the quest by doing what that would ask of you. That stage is "wear the dress and mask at 23:00".

But how do I do it.? If I try to put on the sexy outfit as a home attire, it strips off when I leave the room. And how to put the mask on?
Maybe there is a kind of a debug command for advancing this quest? If so, how do I do it?

Just around midnight put the sexy outfit on (mask in inventory) and click barbs room (should trigger the scene) after don't be on fridays in the kitchen and help barbara or it will start al over again

given all the new changes to the game content, I'm guessing the skipping function wont work.
