Ren'Py Bright Past [v1.003] [Kosmos Games]

[JeegHiro]

Thanks for the save and the step list.

Yes, my guess is confirmed.
I advanced time to 17:00 and took the bus.
I chose Valeries's house as bus destination, and the scene with Alex on the bus was displayed.
I waited and nothing happened.
As soon as I clicked to advance, the message from Tanya popped up and at the same time the watch command on mesto variable shown that its value was now 12, which is one of the values in logical "OR" in the "if" clause.

(See attached video - you can see the value of mesto being displayed in the top right corner, Console command watch mesto)

So, I guess that when we choose a destination for the bus ride (in this case Valerie's house, and for the bus stop near it mesto==12) the number of that location is saved to a temporary variable and the bus scene is displayed, then when we click to advance that variable is assigned to the actual mesto mesto variable BEFORE loading the scene.
In this case the assignment mesto = 12 is executed BEFORE displaying the scene of the bus stop near Valerie's house.
But as soon as mesto is changed to 12 the phone with Tanya's message pops up, and so we graphically see it on top of the bus scene, but internally the finite state machine developed by Kosmos to track locations already thinks we are at the bus stop near Valerie's house since mesto == 12 already.

---

Yup, in the second attached video BP mesto setting to 12.mp4 i captured VLC window while playing the first video step by step; we clearly see that:

1. Firstly the value of mesto changes to 12
   
   
2. And only in the next frame the sequence "Tanya wrote something" pops up.

---

Long story short, when the correct time comes we must already be in one of those places I listed in the .txt file attached to this post, OR be one step from going there by bus, car, or taxi.

I don't get it. What is the mistery?

How do I make Alex become a Webcam Girl? After playing three times with hints on, I decided to try it off... She has already renovated her own place and fucked Barbara many times with the strap-on... Don't know what to do anymore... Is there a specific moment to talk to Barbara? I remember she has to visit the place before anything...

WASNT THE END OF THE GAME OCCURED IN THE LAST UPDATE ?

Oh, now I get it. Another questionable design choice...
Why on Earth would be impossible to COLLECT a magazine if you haven't read the first two? Does the newsstand agent test your knowledge of Vol 1 and 2 before selling you Vol 3?

This game seems to follow a neverending updates policy.
Bug fixes, and redo (or enrichment) of past side events.

As long as it keeps paying off on Patreon, I guess...

It's a pity that you don't get an answer to my question / error message.... You cannot play it in German because an error message appears, as described above.

I really dislike sandbox VNs, but decided to give this a try, only to be stuck pretty much immediately.
I'm pretty much at the start of the VN. I bought food so that I'm no longer hungry, I unpacked my suitcase, and then I slept.
In the morning (first day) I spoke with my roommate, and then went to the park (nothing to do there) and to the college. I spoke with the rector, and he threw me out.
None of the other options (taxi, bus) are possible because I don't have any money anymore. So... what do I need to do (where to get a job?)

You need to wait for the right time of the day to apply for a job at the ice cream parlor.

In addition, if you don't like sandboxes, you can make your heroine's life much easier. Go to the smartphone menu (at the far right of the screen), and then in the settings you will find a cheat menu where you can, for example, add money and excitement to Alex.

I've enabled Realism Mode. How can I disable it? It doesn't work on my phone.
Since I don't know when I was so mentally absent to activate this mode, all my savegames are affected

If disabling via smartphone does not work, you can try installing URM (just unzip it into the game's game folder) and then find this variable and set it to False.

Hello, I read about Helmut, but what is the solution to the problem? Is there an update, or will it be fixed in the next version?

Welcome

That’s a good question.
They have already removed French, I hope they will not also remove German.

speaking of tags...
I've been told more than once that, for example, an anal tag needs to be added not only for those who like anal, but also for those who don't want to see anal... I like this game, even though I have to play as a woman, but the fetish of "women" with a dick is not acceptable to me... and I exclude games with this tag, and as a result, this game that I like is passing me by because of this tag... and there's probably only one scene or maybe a couple that I naturally didn't watch... and it turns out that this tag is harmful to me, and those who like this fetish are unlikely to be happy to go through the entire game and see only one or two scenes for which they played...
So it's idiotic to add all the tags you can find in a game... The anal tag, if it occurs only 1 time, has no right to exist!!! If we talk about Kinetic Novels, where there is no gameplay, no choice, and you just read a wall of text and look at pictures, then yes, you can create all the tags you want, like in porn... You just need to separate this interactive reading from normal games... And then everyone will be happy...​

Kinetic novels are linear through and through; there is only one ending to the story. But they often have decisions, which only affect details, but not the outcome of the story. These are usually more or less episodic games where you take on different roles, but the classic 1 MC doesn't exist.

I generally think that the forum needs more tags, which must be explained in detail and applied correctly. There are already many errors there. Yes, games must have appropriate tags so that you can search for and exclude specific games. However, unlike you, I also think that the tags must be there, even if there is only 1such scene. The reason is simple: there are many games that only have one or a few sex scenes. Sometimes there's only one that's really good.
