Ren'Py Brothel King [v0.3] [Goldo]

[Hikari231]

Thx

That's a truncated traceback, it doesn't even show version numbers. I assume this is 0.15b, and you're running it on Joiplay using Ren'Py 7.0.0? Then try deleting line 29 from BKinit_variables.rpy, the one that removes right click as a shortcut for options:

    config.keymap['game_menu'].remove('mouseup_3')

But since right click (or its Joiplay equivalent) is used everywhere in the game, that might not really work.

If not, get a version of Joiplay that matches the game's version of Ren-Py, 7.0.0 (or 7.3.5 if you're actually going for 0.2).

Just a quick question do you know what version of joiplay runs 7.0.0 since mine is running on 7.3.5

Personally, I have zero experience with Joiplay. But others have managed, so I assume that with a bit of looking, you can as well.

Since I dunno how much stuff has changed over the last 2 years, how much work has been put into a female protagonist?

I mostly remember Slave Maker because of all the configuration-options to your slaver and how the world also interacted with him/her. For example, how you would have a certain amount of lust after being lewded yourself while going with your slave to the slum or events that would turn her into a submissive gloryhole slut and your slave looking at you with contempt afterwards.

Zero. That would take way too much mind-numbing redoing of existing stuff, and the actually missing or important parts of the game take priority (chapters 2-7, more events, full implementation of girl personalities, more improvements to interactions, a headhunter, possibly contests and rivals, and more).

We do have female customers now, though they're mostly cosmetic.

I mostly remember Slave Maker because of all the configuration-options to your slaver and how the world also interacted with him/her.

The world-vs-MC interactions are arguably just as complex in BK, i.e. not very. Slave Maker recycled a lot of stuff, and didn't really have that much in the first place. Once you'd gone through the game a few times, it was all very familiar, and so is BK.

For example, how you would have a certain amount of lust after being lewded yourself while going with your slave to the slum or events that would turn her into a submissive gloryhole slut and your slave looking at you with contempt afterwards.

The MC gan get 'lewded' by Gizel.

But, yes, that sort of customisation isn't in the game, and I doubt it's ever going to be without mods. BK is, at its heart, a management game with thin VN overlay and the protagonists stats and skills reflect that.

There are other projects with lots of that sort of customisation out there, like JONT, Pytfall, Strive, Portals of Phereon, etc. The focus of BK is on the girls, not the PC.

So when I try to meet Scarlet(Jobgirl) at the beach, I get this as soon as it mentions that Scarlet notices me. Any suggestions or fixes?

Any suggestions or fixes?

The obvious: convert the image to .WebP, or change the script to point at the .jpg.

(This is a problem in ver 0.15b.)
To change the script, it is game\kite_jobgirl_variables.rpy, line 43, change beach.webp to beach.jpg

See next post.

From mention by Jman9, looked further:

Your problem will be fixed by properly downloading and installing the

from the OP. You should also delete the game\*.rpyc files before running the patched game, to trigger recompile.

The filename is given correctly in the patched version's script kite_jobgirl_variables.rpy ; a mix of image types exist.

Almost all Brothel King releases have a base code an a corresponding patch. Do not mix 0.15b & 0.2 installs.

 

[mgunderthebridge]

Thank you guys. I ended up converting the jpg to webp, and have had no further issues.

 

[Jman9]

I also advise you to upgrade your version of 0.15b. DougTheC did some good detective work, and your issue had been patched out years ago, and a lot of other bugs and minor improvements as well. You're missing out and probably producing more 'bogus' bug reports in the future if you don't.

Mu initial comment naively assumed it was a new bug, and the solution reflected that.

 

[mgunderthebridge]

So, my traceback on that error says I am on 15b, would it still say that before updating the patch?

 

[Jman9]

Yes. Goldo is resistant to proper version numbering.

 

[mgunderthebridge]

Good to know. Thanks!

 

[busterdude]

all most all the downloads are dead only the nopy one works

 

[Jman9]

Yeah, looks like it. Goldo's own patch link also works, but that's it. Anyone want to report this, since the OP has been missing since Spring, again? Kite80?

 

[DougTheC]

I reported to mods, who can fix when dev is not owner of OP.
Give them some time to assign uploader.

Edit 09-04-21: Seems fixed now.

 

[Kite80]

Sorry guys if I haven't been much around lately, gonna do more stuff in a couple weeks, including a few girl pack updates (or at least I hope so)

I see this game has rape. Is it a scene or two or does it happen throughout?

 

[Jman9]

Kinda in-between. There are some rape scenes in side quests that are at least somewhat avoidable, and I think most also have choices that at least steer the direction of things (Willow & tentacle beast, everything Stella does to the MC, Gizel's intro scene and 'new tenant' scenes, arguably Satella, the darker side of the Thieves' Guild main quest).

The two major sources of rape in the game are monsters or hooligans assaulting your girls (which can be mitigated by increasing security and generally not sucking as a virtual pimp ) and punishing your slaves with it, either as part of training or separately. The whole slave trainer thing has a heavy rape undertone, anyway. There is also a slave personality who likes to be mistreated.

So the amount of rape depends quite a bit on how you play the game. But some rape is always there, yet the game as a whole is not really focused on hardcore rape. Playing an evil character is an acknowledged weakness of BK.
