Ren'Py Corrupted Academy [v0.351] [BolHeX]

[Jigglypuff Dragonslayer]

Is there any increase to max girl capacity in the next update? A new classroom upgrade or something?

 

[Jigglypuff Dragonslayer]

Another thought. Should the mothers with the stepmon trait be able to be randomly assigned to any girl, regardless of ethnicity? Since stepmoms don't need to look like their daughters.

I didn't plan on increasing it no. If I have time I want to allow forcing girls into the academy from the application screen, it is already possible through certain events. It would just be a constant drain on money, which is probably fine in the late game.

Good idea. Do you know what mod adds that trait? I need to get it's ID

The stepmon trait is with some of the mod mothers.
Evelyn Claire's config file says
"name": "Stepmother",
"color": "#ff66ff",
"stat_growth_multipliers": {"fear": -0.10},
"base_stat_modifiers": {"emotional_strength": 0.15, "shoot_acceptance": 0.10},
"description": "The father divorced his wife, and the daughter chose to live with her father. He met a new love, young Evelyn. The daughter accepted her father's choice and was able to love Evelyn."
}
Dani Jenson's says
"name": "stepmom",
"color": "#e612cc",
"stat_growth_multipliers": {"corruption": 0.05},
"base_stat_modifiers": {"corruption": 0.10},
"description": "This explains the small age gap between mother and daughter! Sometimes, the lusty stepmom stereotype is true."
}
Alix Lynx says the same, too, though with different stat growth and base stat numbers.

This one is in the mods/traits folder, I think it came with Shay Evans.
database_traits["stepmom"] = Trait(
name="Stepmom",
color="#e612cc",
rarity=0,
stat_growth_multipliers={"corruption": 0.05},
base_stat_modifiers={"corruption": 0.10},
description="This explains the small age gap between mother and daughter! Sometimes, the lusty stepmom stereotype is true.",
)

Thanks, that is what I was thinking. There are several mods that add it and have different IDs

Another trait question. Some girls/mothers have
"generate_additional_traits": false,
and some have
"generate_additional_traits": true,
While others have neither.
It looks like having neither mean they do generate some extra random traits when added to the academy. Will changing the false ones to true not break anything? Just allow them to generate a couple of random traits?

It shouldn't break anything, they might not generate many extra traits since the game tries to limit how many they get but it won't cause errors or anything.

Also yes, if the line isn't present it defaults to True

BolHeX do you think you can add a setting in the next update to limit how many exams per week a girl can participate in?
It feels like if you can limit the number of exams per girl to 1 or 2 per week, the pacing of the game would be much improved.

Technically it is already in the game, it just never worked out very well because you only start with 6 girls.
The variable name is weekly_class_limit and it defaults to 5, you can try changing this with the console.

Girls are limited to that many exams per week however when it comes to the player exams if there are not enough girls to fill the class it will ignore it. There is a small issue in the 0.35 code where it won't use girls "exam slots" left over first.

EDIT: Actually I think it didn't work out very well because of the manual scheduling but I can't remember what the issue was exactly.

I'm kinda surprised that Dakota Sky and Ava Adams don't seem to be in any of the mods

I'm kinda surprised that Dakota Sky and Ava Adams don't seem to be in any of the mods

1. An ethical issue. Dakota Skye died at the age of 27 from multi-drug intoxication.
No inspiration to work with an actress knowing she's dead. The same goes for Sofia Leone.

2. Ava Adams is so popular you'd think someone else would surely do her.

i have one Ava Addams is the mother of Dakota Skye (its not the best but they work)

...

I can respect that some people might have personal reservations about porn involving "now deceased" actresses (or those who had unfortunate lives). But I'm not inclined to accept ethics as an argument unless the actual works she produced was under some kind of duress.
Fantasy and Reality need to be kept separate IMO.

One can argue that most porn is done under duress due to finances. The actresses are incentivized to keep producing content, usually more intense stuff, if they want to stay relevant and keep making money. I don't really agree with the argument, as long as the porn producers aren't shady assholes. Actresses should be aware of the consequences of the business, something that's difficult to fully understand when you're young.

there is also the social pressure that being a pornstar entails. It's probably difficult going about your business when a ton of people know what your butthole looks like. Even if you reach financial stability, that's going to stick with you forever if you make it big enough.

For me I don't enjoy the work of deceased actresses because I can't help but think about their passing. I'm not going to hate on anyone that does, though.

Dude... If you are going to stretch the definition of duress to that extreme you'll have to include 99% of all jobs in this world... And Frankly I think 1% might be over estimating the range of jobs that aren't glorified slavery. If it's done by choice, then it's done by choice (if someone FORCED her to make that content then it is a different story). I don't stop using products just because the creator is dead or because the primary benefactor is an asshole.

But like I already said if you are one of those who has personal reservations about using this content then I can respect that that's what it is to you, but please don't try to sell it as something more than it is.

I hear ya man...
One of my all time favorite porn actresses was August Ames, after her tragic death I just can't watch her work without getting overcome with sadness.
Such a shame, one so young and tallented, as a really nice and sweet person from what her co-workers had to comment on her personallity.
Have tried to enjoy her work, years later, in her honor so to speak, but that sadness still clouds everything.
I guess thats why the saying "Ignorance is bliss!" often rings so true?
It's strange.. I can enjoy vintage porn, shot so many years ago that ones logic would say the actors would be really old and ugly by now if they still live.. But can't enjoy "modern" porn if I know it's with a deceased one.

When i created my stepmom trait my main reasoning was to narratively explain 2 women who looked closedenough in age that a biological mother/daughter relationship made to sense. And then give a little flavor to that (the def: "This explains the small age gap between mother and daughter! Sometimes, the lusty stepmom stereotype is true."). But it makes also perfect sense in a "black stepmom"/ "white stepdaughter" dynamic. Could solve some issue like the "not enough asian "moms" " in the game/packs.

couldn't you make it conditional?
if #girls < n then no limit on exams
if #girls > n then exam limit equal #girls /x

 

[Jigglypuff Dragonslayer]

If a girl appears in the applications screen with some randomly generated traits, and you postpone her, will she have the same traits when she reapplies? or do the random ones regenerate when that happens?
Edit: Tested it, and it looks like they regenerate. Kept skipping days to get back to Monday, and had both rich and broke Dillon Harper at different times. Broke one also had the famous trait that the rich one didn't.

Thanks for the hint.
I had already seen this parameter but didn't know if it was the only one used.
It works perfectly with limiting you and randomizing girls for classes. It only gets ignored if you try to start a class and there aren't enough girls.

In class class_exam_manager_ren method def generate_girls_in_class:

        # If fewer than 3 students, ignore class limits
        girls_and_schedule_count = self._get_girls_and_schedule_count()
        girls_with_free_schedules = [girl.id for girl in academy.girl_manager.get_students() if girls_and_schedule_count.get(girl.id, 0) < weekly_class_limit and girl.weekly_class_count < weekly_class_limit]
        ignore_scheduling = len(girls_with_free_schedules) < 3

        # If fewer than 3 students, add more random students ignoring used_girls
        student_count = len(academy.girl_manager.get_students())
        while len(player_class_girls) < 3 and len(player_class_girls) < student_count:
            girl = self._get_random_girl_for_class("player", day_of_the_week, ignore_used_girls=True, ignore_scheduling=ignore_scheduling)
            if girl and girl not in player_class_girls:
                player_class_girls.append(girl)

I would change it so that if there aren't enough girls, you either hold a class with less girls, or can't hold it at all. And if no girls left, for sure just don't hold exam. Of course, this could be another setting. I could change it for myself in the code, but that would mean, with each update, I have to remake the change. With this change, and not being able to train girls at home, the game already feels a lot better and you aren't that overpowered. (I put the limit at 2 for testing purposes)

This is just an idea, if you think it sounds good:
I would split the girls into 2 categories: juniors and seniors. Juniors would be under a certain threshold and seniors above that threshold. Each one would have a separate exam limit. For example, juniors 2, seniors 1. This way, even if the corruption increases, you can't just accelerate into madness, there is still a balance. The threshold could be time spent in academy, corruption, intellect, grades, naturism, combination of multiple, whatever feels best.
If you think this feels like too much work but there is a way I could make a mod out of this, I would be happy to, just not sure how to go about it to transform these changes into a mod.
