Ren'Py Bright Past [v1.004] [Kosmos Games]

Also booze and cards, 1 beer = 1 courage for 5 hours, each card you find +1 perma courage.

Is the card reward a new thing?

Before, when the cards featured classic porn images, you were given five temporary hearts in the game for each card found, which symbolised increased lust.
Usually, this bonus was wasted because the cards were found randomly and lust wasn't needed most of the time.

Courage is what you need to advance in the game. If you get one permanently per card, the game should be much easier now.

I don't think I had the courage buffs.
I reached 60 and didn't really see a difference between 30 and 60 to be fair. the progress after the first sexual act is very marginal in terms of new levels of depravity.
It's pretty vanilla, DP at most. Vanilla may not be the term. I'd say mainstream.
and there's like2 dp scenes in the whole game. Maybe another one I didn't see. but that's it. It's mostly lesbian/futa.

the only bdsm/fetish that felt like pushing boundaries was stuff that is non consensual. (ryder's agression)

something with the director with drug addiction would have been interesting, but I guess dev didn't want to angry the righteous mob. you can clearly there was a venu to exploit there. with rocknroll/punk/crackhouse stuff. but nah.... he probably didn't want to risk Patreon's wrath. it really backtracks really quickly.
also . you cannot lose against the director.



The alcoholism doesn't do anything extra either except give 3 scenes when you get wasted at the city center pub and 3 scenes in the underground concert thing.
I really wanted to know where FMC ended up when she was hammered but the game doesn't let you It's not an actual place, just a couple of stills.

There is no courage added by finding cards. I had to increase courage by other actions.
But I think cards increase lust.
(I have all 58 cards and 57 courage points.)

I started replaying the game (due to save incompatibility <0.97) and noticed that one thing in the game definitely hasn't changed — the presence of juicy rock compositions with female vocals that we hear as we progress through the story.

Guys, any ideas on how to find out the name of the singer of the song that plays during this scene with Alice?

Shazam didn't help, nor did searching by this thread (and on Google) using keywords. The only thing I haven't tried yet is unpacking the game's audio.rpa archive, but I'm not sure if that will yield any results other than extracting the song I need. Or mb everything has already been found, and I just haven't found the right post?

Yeah, the main story is finished, but the dev wrote on Patreon that side content will continue to be released.

Kosmos has switched from in-game photos to AI pictures. I wouldn't be surprised if the music and lyrics are AI-generated too, like those from

Does anyone have a fix/save right before dress rehearsal? I got the message of Alex saying that she has dress rehearsal to attend, but after that I cant not trigger the event.

Well, I started playing BP in March 2021, (ver 0.80) and there was no AI stuff - only old canon drawn cards, real photos from existing porn videos and live rock music...and I remember that even then I liked many of the rock songs with female vocals that played here when Alex was rehearsing or giving concerts.

So as for "AI music" in ver1.002, I'm not really sure about that...It probably makes sense to ask about it on the dev's discord.

On Topic General Rules Violation #2.7 - Avoid excessive discussion about development. Talking about developers is fine, but derailing the game discussion with multiple pages of the same arguments concerning development speed, delays, pricing, etc is not

Hi folks, I hope this post finds you all safe and well.

I want to inform everyone to please keep the thread on topic about the game.

I have seen a lot of back-and-forth comments made in the thread around developer update delays, shorter updates, and other random off-topic conversations around games being taxed on Patreon/US Tax Laws and whatnot.

Please note that the 'Bright Past' thread exists to talk about elements specific to the gameplay aspects of the AVN. Should you wish to continue such discussions around developer update delays/Jurisdictional/International Patreon Tax Laws, etc, please do so off the thread in personal DMs on the forums and/or off the forums on platforms like Discord.

Do bear in mind that any further off-topic discussions will result in post deletions or thread bans if the mod/staff team sees fit in doing so. Please do not tarnish the conversational experience for everyone by derailing the thread with such off-topic banter.

The mod and staff team thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Cheers - and have a lovely rest of the week.

***(cue generic corporate sign off)***

Best regards,

Any idea how I can trigger the arctic cafe renovation arc? I'm at the end of the main plot and some events seems to not appear.
I also can't trigger Amanda content since the first buttplug one. Any tips appreciated

 

[CeLezte]

No, he didn't. You probably disabled it by selecting "Realism Mode" in the beginning. See screenshots in the spoiler tag.

You are right, I disabled it through the cheats menu on the phone. Silly me. The tutorial lied, you can indeed turn it off mid game. Reloading the game causes errors to show up afterwards. Weird.

Yeah, you can turn it off mid-game but you can't turn it on again. The only option is restart a new game from scratch.

IMO, this is just one of the many technically questionable choices of this game.

---

Currently I restarted the game from scratch with v1.002 and I didn't apply any mod. The only cheats that I used are disabling pubes growth and increasing lust.
I never cheated on anything else, not even on money.

I bet that nonetheless I will end up with something in the quest log that's impossibile to clear, as usual...

...like "talk to Fred" and when you click on Fred the only option is "I'll come back later"... ,

I had that problem with Ruby which is the very end of her character arc I think
I should talk to ruby at work, but it's just "i'll come back later" or buy gym/swim/yoga membership
tried to talk to talk to her every hour of an entire weekend . does nothing.
so frustrating. ( courage 62)

What have you done with Ruby 'till now?

A) given two bottles of wine to Valerie so she invited Ruby over and had a lesbian threesome? Did you choose to hold Valerie and to Kiss?

B) played tennis with Ruby without panties?

C) texted Ruby and gone on various dates with her?

I did all that . which is why I said I'm probably at the end of her arc.
also went out with her 4 times, and already did the cinema date while she wanked the other guy,

So probably it's just a bug of the quest log. Sometimes an entry in the quest log doesn't get cleared when you accomplish the suggested task.

Did Ruby invited you at her place? Did you go at her place in the right day and time?

Man thanks a lot! I tried to trigger the thing at night but seems it says near the house I didn't though about the bus stop.

Hey guys, I have just one question. I played the game a long time ago, when it still had a lot of lesbian scenes and quests. Back then, the game was essentially and exclusively that, so even if I don't have anything against it to some extent, that was the reason why I stopped following and playing it, it's not my cup of tea. I'm wondering if there were any changes, is it worth downloading and playing?
