I really can't understand why you are complaining there are no sex scenes. What did you expect? MC fucking his bitches while the robots are shooting them? :rolleyes:
Multitasking.
Anyway, I can't help but agree with the fact that the update is too damn fucking short. It definitely WAS NOT worth the wait.
That's where the lack of H-Scenes comes into play. Had there been "more" a couple of scenes could have been added.

I used the chapter14-patch-1.14.0.zip provided by Rhykio with no mods & did not encounter any errors.

In that version it's impossible to get your error, ch14redmoonscore is explicitly declared in script.rpy:
Code:
default ch14redmoonscore = 1
Even loading a save from ch13 I have a ch14redmoonscore of 1.

My guess would be in your version script.rpy wasn't updated to include this new variable declaration.
I initially used the patch from the OP, and I did copy over the scripts.rpa file file from the patch. I tried again with the patch from your link and hit the same error.

I was, however, able to fix the error by loading an earlier save and replaying Chapter 14. So I'm guessing the issue lies with my tendency to save the game at the "To be continued" screen between chapters. Somehow that's preventing the right variable from being declared.

The update has been up for 15 hours and there aren't even 5 new pages of comments.
This week, a minority game like Long Story Short had an update and it had 8 new pages just in the first day.
That speaks volumes. What does it speak of? I'm not totally sure myself, but it's definitely concerning.

I understand and agree with much of the criticism the game's writing has received after the huge clash where Henry protected Gloria. You know what scene I'm talking about. After that, in my opinion the story's progession halted dramatically and the writing got worse. It's not DMD level bad :Kappa:, but it isn't 2019-2021 CoBD's level either, let's be honest.

That being said, a major complaint of almost everyone was that the game turned into a grotesque fuck-fest where our runaway MC went around without a care in the world other than to nail one of his LIs. Keeping this in mind, it strikes me as really absurd to criticize the lack of sexual scenes in this latest update (which I haven't played yet, I must clarify that). The story is being primed for the game's finale, so if anything it makes a lot of sense to put off the fuckfest for a while and focus on what has been the weakest spot of the game for the last couple of years.

EDIT: Corrected appalling typo.

If people stopped caring about the story, it's only natural that the criticism will be about the sex scenes.

It's quite rare to see such clarity. You nailed it exceptionally, brother. Too bad this god tier VN haven't been what it once was (19-21). I still have to play the update as of yet myself. Let's see what this update holds...

It speaks to the fact that the game released while I was sleeping and I was at work all day, and only found the release by luck because I missclicked on the next page button on the latest updates page (it's on the second page right now).

Not to spoil anything, since you haven't played it, yet. But if this "story focused" update did anything, then it exposed the fact that there isn't much story in this game anymore. It probably ended up disappointingly short, because without erotic scenes it has nothing much to offer.
If this "story focus" is really what the game needed, then the jiggle physics and all the butt shots of women in inconvenient hooker fashion seem out of place. As does the fact that the characters act like sexy shells with no consistency. It's like all the characters act randomly, because there's no other reason for things to happen anymore.

Man, are you telling me that gamers and/or pervs around the world changed their habits for a day to follow the latest developments in the Russian crisis? I don't think there's a connection there, but of course I may be wrong.

It was released on a Friday afternoon in North America, Friday evening in Europe. You were unfortunate enough to be at work, but most jobs in the West have the weekend off. The other game I mentioned was released on a weekday.

Its a two part finale. People crying need to chill. Of course its not gonna be satisfying, its a cliffhanger and all narratives build to an end. All stories have lulls in them. The writing didn't "drop off", you just seem to think this isn't one complete narrative, you're acting like every chapter is a sequel or a stand alone episode. All the action out of the way and onto the conclusion and probably all of the different outcomes, which should be a lot.
After that, in my opinion the story's progession halted dramatically and the writing got worse. It's not DMD level bad :Kappa:, but it isn't 2019-2021 CoBD's level either, let's be honest.
I never made a "serious" post in this thread, and after this "update" I think now its the time (the only spoiler is inline btw). I remember a time when this game was an undisputed Top2 game in F95 with some people (including me) thinking it was number 1.

Contrary to some peoples opinions, I dont think the writting "falling off" is the biggest problem with this game now... Of course some sex scenes didnt fit with some of the timing, but my reasoning for that is the fact that this is an AVN at the end of the day :HideThePain:.

When I see people complain about Victorias actions this update, in a large part I agree... But people need to understand that it might not fit in ALL her paths, but if Victoria is bad/has the MC spellbound I think thats a world where I can see her ditching the others just to "kill" Meredith when she destroyed her apartment when Vic did nothing wrong to Meredith in the first place and was still trying to get the MC to betray Gloria :unsure:.
Now if shes good or, even worse, the chosen love of the MC I agree with people that it doesnt make any sense :rolleyes::rolleyes:.

For me, this game started to slowly fall off right after chapter 9 when I started playing this game update by update... The amount of content Philly is dishing out is simply not enough for the amount of time we are waiting for each update. Its always underwhelming but this last one was just unacceptable... Im a slow reader and a compulsive saver, and I finished every path in 35 minutes :cautious::HideThePain::confused:

Im a pirate that got the update for free, and even I think I overpaid to get it :cautious::cautious:... 4 MONTHS for 35 MINUTES?!?!? Its not a problem that rose just in this update, but in this one was OBVIOUS because there was nothing to make people satisfied: there were no sex scenes (not that I think they should be included) and also no special dialogue with our "loves". So people dont need to "chill out" and the whole "complete narrative" argument is stupid because people are paying for this and hes still doing these small ass updates without upgrading his setup and/or work rate :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Concluding: Philly is stuck in the past where +/- 1000 renders were good enough for 4 months, but with a dev that is literally making 9000 bucks a month its just unacceptable in this day and age of AVN making. But I still think this game is gonna be one of the games where the finished product and playing it in one sitting will just have a positive effect on the game, because that way we can accept the "lull moments" much better :WeSmart::WeSmart:
