Oh it still bugged?That explain everything lol.I tho it fixed since the comment i read someone report about that bug is like 2 month ago and i saw multiple people got pass the suit part in this version which lead me to think it fixed already.It kinda confuse me for sec.Oh welp i really want to avoid using dev console on my first playthough too since it unlock multiple stuff at once instead just suit part.

First of all, thank you for your feedback. And yes, the game is finished until further notice because the main story is done. That's all I wanted to include in Candyman. But yes, there are still some parts open that I might finish at another time.
Why don't I continue?
Because the game engine sucks! It sucks to constantly have bugs that aren't my fault and that I just can't change.
What do I do now?
I'm diligently learning Renpy and Unity. I'm already working on the sequel, which will continue the story, but with Renpy and not with PaCDK. Anyone who wants to have an impression of the game engine... you can find it in the editor package with the complete game. Good luck with it!
But as I promised brittC25, I was looking for a way to cheat in the old games. I found it, and I hope it fits for most of you.
You can use the ingame console to change all stats. How?
To activate the console and other debugging features you have to hold down the console key for 2 seconds (the key under escape). After that you can open and close it with the same key.
The console shows information about the running game and you can enter any scriptcommand. This helps you to try out different values of certain variables ect without having to restart the game. With the arrowkeys you can select previous lines. To scroll up and down use the keys Page-Up and Page-Down .
There are some additional commands to retrieve more information.
Most used command:
setnum (Geld; +500) = adds 500 cash, it's not the same like:
setnum (Geld; 500) = sets value to 500
to change Tammys Shop button use:
setobj (btn map c01; 2) = set the button to status 2 and if you click it, the intro of this room starts
setobj (btn map c01; 3) = if you have already visited the store once, no intro will be played again
I hope this information will help you for the time being.
brittC25 = You can also use this in the old John Smith parts. Maybe someone will link this post to it, then others will find it too.

Awesome, Thank you, I have all the old games still zipped and waiting, so will give this a roll now.
Renpy is a great platform, and You can have mega high quality HD renders and smooth animation on it also, unity is good also, but many prefer Renpy.
You could remove all incest from your Renpy games and set yourself up on Patreon and earn money from folks, and do a side patch for incest for here if a game calls for it.
I am sure it has been a total headwreck for you when the present game platform throws up endless errors and You can do nothing to fix them, least when Renpy throws up an error it gives You a full reason why and allows the Dev to use the full reason to quickly find the problem and fix it, but errors these days on Renpy are rare (well for me anyhow, touch wood it stays that way)
The new games platform will bring your games to many more 100s and 1000s of people.
Goodluck with the new Renpy games, I and I`m sure others wish You every success moving forward, cant wait to play them.

And especially then many more people can help me with the code than now
So far it works quite well with Renpy and I'm happy with the results. But I still have a lot to learn. What I can manage quite well is to tell a story, but I still lack the ability for "game elements". But hey... I just started with intensive learning a few days ago.
My goal is to have a very clear first version of Redwood ready by the end of January. The current version here shows only a small part of the intro. Where I'm not sure yet, is.... right now I'm developing Redwood more as a serious thriller. With John Smith and Candyman, it was the wacky humor that was the focus. There I'm unsure what is better received by the majority?

RenPy kind of struggles with any kind of complex UI or higher end game mechanics. As much as I dislike Unity for AVNs, if you are going sandbox with lots of variables like this game, it might be the best engine. Man of the House, and Love of Magic are pretty good examples of this.

You have to do the three tasks in Downtown -> Office -> Office to unlock the Lab. Then the Lab is another room in the Office, where you can make the Rainbow Lollipops (and the CumCan you need to upgrade some of the brothel).

Has anyone found a solution to be able to run the console in the game ?
Because unfortunately it does not work for me.
Or at least to make the bank in the game work ?
Because it also unfortunately does not work for me, so I can not add more money and playing without cheats for me sucks a bit because it takes too long to grind money normally in this game.

OK I found a way to make the console work, you have to change the keyboard language to "German" and then I can open the console.
I think I am stuck in Charly's "expand the new biz in warehouse and church". I fullfill everything in the warehouse and church but can't go any further. Anyone can help me?
indeed
k. feels like it is safer to grind. as scenes are assigned to certain levels . and next quest steps happen at x/10 points
hm maybe it was not implied ... oh though i get soe points from some girls in sauna area which i discovered later
how to tweak energy. prolly easier to just sleep heh.

for this problem you must meet coco (McAlister) in hollywood and try/finish all content with her, and you went casting agency in the downtown. try and finish all content in casting agency. and then you can expand in church.
