The developer has told me that the cheats in that menu should only be used from the main (home) screen, and I have gotten some strange results when doing things like resetting girls' portrait pics from a different screen. He says that the cheats can't be easily written to work on just every screen. This seems like it will stay this way.
This I wanted to know. Thx.

I seem to be stuck after finishing a contract, I get a summary and my reward and then my game just doesn't progress. I don't get any crash or an exception. Just sitting on a summary score without an option to progress. Does anyone know what can be done with this?
There's supposed to be an 'OK' button at the bottom. Are you using a custom resolution?

If it was up to me, I'd put that 'OK' button to the right, where there's a bunch of empty space.
Yes, try running it after resetting to an older-standard resolution, or seeing if you can use something similar to mousewheel-scroll to show the "OK" button so you can click on it.

My two laptops' touch pads have different setups to simulate mousewheel scrolling; I look it up when absolutely necessary.

No viewport or vpgrid in that screen, so no scrolling.

BTW, if Goldo happens to read this, I recently learned that vpgrid is 'better' than viewport because it doesn't constantly redraw stuff that's off-screen. Might be worth using for item lists, for example.

Can someone help me please?

I've tried putting # pass on 5510 line and deleting RPYC file.

This error happens after I advanced to chapter 3 and try to sleep a night, error comes exactly after night ends and auto activation spells text plays.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

Go to game/ folder find the BKchapter2.rpy file, open with text editor, scroll to the bottom, paste this two line of code:

Code:
label c3_suzume_hint():
    return
Save the file and close. Delete the BKchapter2.rpyc (not the same file, careful). You can play, have fun!

... and miss out on the entirety of this year's updates, at the very least. If these two lines aren't there already, you're running a several-months old version of 0.2, or worse.

I play on the older standard resolution tho, I also tried to change the description of the contract to make the description smaller, still doesn't show.

If you want to try to resolve this on your own, edit your BKscreens.rpy with a non-formatting text editor or IDE (Notepad++, Atom, Sublime Text, Jupyter, etc), find screen contract_result(contract, x=450): and play around with the settings a bit. Set x to 500, description font to something smaller than res_font(12), the first ypadding 10 to ypadding 0, etc.

This will most likely get resolved by Goldo sometime soon-ish.


That was fast! If every bug got that kind of service... :devilish:

Sorry to the people who had to step on a landmine, and thank you for your contribution to the cause!

Here is a new hotfix fixing the game-breaking bugs:

I also caught at least one faulty implementation of the translation feature (unreported so far), so I'm not sure I should have trusted those changes wholesale. I expect more glitches to come up, this will take a while I'm afraid.

shouldn't there be something that could manage girls fear to fit your certain playthrough?? maybe add like a drug den construction that can lower or increase fear coz managing fear at like near end game is kinda annoying

Monster Juice. I suppose it could be considered a drug, even.

Automating away parts of the game is a very fine line, and then others will want different parts of the game automated. Which would mean a ton of dev time going into it. I'd rather have the rest of the story, an official Headhunter, more Kosmo, etc.

i know monster juice exist the problem i have is that managing like 30+ girls who constantly have increasing fear is kinda annoying and tedious especially at like end game like rank S or X

having a drug den kindoff structure in your brothel that produces or purchases then distributes drugs to lower or increase fear would be quite handy

That isn't limited to fear. If you have so many girls, you've pretty much dug yourself into the 'too much management' hole. So you must either like that much management in the first place, or you got greedy. :p

I did have something like a solution to this in my mod. Made fear and love revert to mood, not 0 (well, trust to mood for non-masochists, actually). And allowed girls to auto-use consumables in their inventory.

OTOH, if your issue is increasing fear, I don't know what your problem is. If you want high fear, that's exactly what the doctor ordered, right?

i never said i wanted high fear in fact most of my playthroughs i play managing low fear and well i prefer to keep the girls happy for immersion sake if i want to play a good character

also isn't the point of the game to "Collect them all" in fact my main money makers are the girls that do both normal jobs and whore out and only leave like the last 4 slots to manage via getting them in and out of the farm to get them to do the monthly posting gig

So what exactly do you want, then? Fear is going towards 'low fear' all the time in the background. Maybe you want high trust, instead, but high trust isn't really of much mechanical benefit. And if you want it for the warm fuzzy feeling, I think expecting you to put in some work to constantly max a girl isn't unreasonable.

Happiness is probably more about mood than fear/trust, I think.

How many girls you want is mostly up to you. The game scales your expenses up with increasing girl number via upkeep, taxes and miscellaneous expenses, so the benefits are sorta diminishing compared to how much IRL management you have to do.

I think others have said that there's a break-point around 8-12 girls or so when it starts to be more trouble than a casual playthrough is worth, and there's no longer a strong individual attachment to all of them.

Once you get to King's Hold brothel, is it normal for the background (tavern, strip club, onsen and okiya) to not show anymore?
I Advanced and it now shows them as complete black backgrounds.
v220228. I know we have an update, but curious if this is normal for the version.

One possibility is that you have base game from "v 0.2 test," but patched with v220228 from "v 0.2 release," and your brothel has a less than "clean" status.

Check game/brothels/rooms to see if you're missing room version files like tavern_dirty.webp, tavern_dusty.webp which should be from proper v 0.2 release base game.

If missing, you need to install latest base game (not yet on F95zone OP), followed by v220228 or experimental latest patch (will need to start new game since now v 0.2 release).
Installing into a new folder and moving over your game/girls folder is least complicated.
Otherwise, you have to delete all "game/*.rpyc" files to force Ren'Py recompile.

Attached is what is formally known as the "v220228" patch if you need it and don't want to experiment with the recent "different resolutions" patch.

You are correct! I downloaded from OP which didn't have dusty/dirty.webp and it was a bit annoying but i brushed it off thinking it's a WIP haha
I have aboslutly not problem playing through again for the 10+ time since i do enjoy this game a lot, thank you for the correct base game!
No more copying over files, got it! c:

Low fear is actually hard to maintain after a couple weeks of working the girls go from max trust (lowest fear) to fearful due to the constant fear gain through work and stuff

and there is no item that can lower fear, raising it yes monster juice but lowering it without cheating require you to talk to them which uses up your action points and lowering fear takes a large amount of time and effort, for ex. raising love points with say a rouge trader build of max charisma only takes a week of maxing out talking (you can only talk to a girl 3x) it takes upto 2-3 months to max out lowering the fear not to mention girls that have a perk that increases fear gain(im basing this on a rank x girl)

What do you do to your girls that just working is making them so fearful? o_O Are they getting constantly raped by monsters and customers, or something?

I don't think girls' trust being hard to max in an environment that constantly terrifies them should be easy. I'm not even sure (from an in-universe POV) what kind of drug is supposed to raise trust? Love, okay, that's a trope. Fear is obvious, just feed her crap that makes her freak out. But trust?

Are you rewarding them (and matching rewards with personalities) instead of just talking? That should increase trust gains some.

All that being said, maybe a direct emotional manipulation spell could be added. Magic can do all kinds of stuff.

rouge trader build
What kind of crypto-communist brothel are you running there?! :eek: Maybe that's the problem...

Not sure if I'm in the wrong or if this even matters as a change. But I realized while looking through some files (BKperks), that some of the perks had a different perk tree's jpg in its line of code.
ie. Slut.jpg in the wall of text that is meant for Escort.jpg, so i went ahead and moved them around and this is the result.
Posting text file with changes for manual paste, my own BKperk file and a picture of the before and after.
