Ren'Py Corrupted Academy [v0.426b] [BolHeX]

[Leobbb]

It's nice to see the game going forward and showing the competition what can be done if you work on the game instead of sitting on your ass doing nothing. I also see most of the errors are coming from people that just install incompatible mods, for me the base game works flawlessly.

Also I would recommend balancing the clothes lewdness values if you want to scale sponsor requests with the girls average lewdness. It's a bit frustrating to get requests for lewdness 60 panties when you have hundreds of panties in your collection with a total value of 10k and no matches to satisfy the request. I even checked why and it seems there is this peekaboo bikini bottom I've never seen that is supposed to be available only on girls visiting the beach and it stands out as the only clothing with the value of 60 while every other panties have up to 40. Yet with the way the requests scale if your girls are maxed out you only get requests for 60 and your big collection is useless. I fixed it for myself setting these bikini bottoms to 40 in the database.

Hey, I'm struggling to raise the girls' grades in time. I'm usually only getting 2-3 grade improvements per session. Any advice?

 

[Leobbb]

For the grades you can use the phone to visit all of them and train intellect. If they don't want you in their house kissing during exams is a fast way to get enough affection and also is a cheap way to raise motivation to keep it in the green zone which also helps with grades.

En mi opinión, sería mejor que escribieran una línea de comandos con los nombres de los personajes, porque tal como están ahora mismo, no funcionan muy bien con las hijas. Con las madres, sí, pero con las hijas, no funciona muy bien.

When I tried downloading the Hotfix 0.426c.zip from GoFile, I got redirected to a warning page saying:
"Malicious code was detected on this website, so we blocked it for your protection. Visiting this page may put your security at risk."

Has anyone else run into this? It's not just this one link—it seems to happen with any GoFile link I try, regardless of the content.

For what it's worth, I haven't had any issues with downloads from Mega, Pixeldrain, Mediafire, or Google Drive. Because of that, I'm honestly hesitant to mark the GoFile page as "safe" if there's even a slight risk of malware being involved.

At this point, I'm starting to feel like GoFile just isn't a reliable option anymore. Maybe it's a false positive, or maybe something sketchy is going on in the background—I don't know. But I figured it was worth bringing up in case others are seeing the same thing.

Admins, moderators, maybe even BolHeX—you might want to take a quick look at this. I trust your uploads are clean (especially since I had no issues grabbing your latest game update from Pixeldrain), but something about GoFile just doesn't feel safe right now.

The file is fine, that warning is either your anti virus being an idiot or your browser being inept.

Okay, having played a bit of the latest update, my thoughts are,

1. The user interface continues to improve, so definitely well done to the creator on that score.

2. Tying certain upgrades to having more mothers, and therefore students, I do think is a good change,especially from the perspective of protecting players from themselves. That may sound really paternalistic to those reading, but, there's a reason one of the best game designer quotes in history is about how players optimize the fun out of a game.

3. I think I've realized a lot of my issues with the game now boil down to that it has a lot of systems where you are interacting with girls on a one on one basis, such as with home visits, or for that matter, mechanics like photoshoots. However, those systems just utterly break down once the player gets past 10 or so students at a time. There are some mechanics that help with that, such as Alumni teaching other classes, however, there's something very frustrating about going from an extremely easy to manage and corrupt 7 students to an utterly bonkers 12 students where it suddenly becomes far harder to manage.

The main I'd say is, at this point, mechanics specifically to help manage larger groups of students should be a major point of focus. For example, while I think just leaving spaces blank makes it random, a button that say, automatically assigns every student to at least two* consecutive class days would help. More broadly, especially given mods that presumably add a lot more potential students than the base game has, I think there needs to be new mechanics that move the player away from interacting with students on an individualized basis, as that just doesn't make sense for the most part once we get to say, 20 or more students.


Otherwise, for those who make mods, I feel like the game is at the point where I'm hoping people can really start making more ambitious mods, such as ones that change the base setting, or similar. Like, if the hypnosis mod expanded out into a full blown mind control focused version of the game, to use an example.

*From what I can tell, a student usually needs two class days to make it to her mother's weekly grade expectations, but I could be wrong, or playing suboptimally somehow.

Is there an issue releasing events for mothers?
I have red exclamation marks on the overview, for Emily Willis (daughter) and Clemence Audiard and Kayden Kross (mothers), that should indicate that an event is available.


When visiting Emily I can start the event when interacting with her. I can see (E) + available event.


But when visiting the mothers I can't see any (E) when interacting. (picture below shows my interaction options for Clemence Audiard. It's the same with Kayden)


Do I need to do anything different to start an available event with mothers?

Or maybe my VPN security protection is being overprotected. Lol

I have a bug that I can't leave their house. I have talked to Gina and "return to the living room", but I see no way to leave the house without using the "how about we have som 'fun'" line.



Or is the button to leave somewhere else?

EDIT: I tried with another girl, and when both are home I can only go between them. but if only one of them is home I can leave. is there a quick console command which can let me leave?

If you scroll down you should have the option "It's time for me to go" under "I'd like to talk to Gina".

 

[trix3]

If you scroll down you should have the option "It's time for me to go" under "I'd like to talk to Gina".

And it was that easy. Usually there is a visible scrollbar when you can scroll and I'm not used to scrolling text in renpy games that have scrollback enabled.

But thanks, now I can continue

Since only 13 girls can be displayed during "Admissions" there should also be a "Decline" option so that players can eliminate those that they do not want to pick. It is frustrating clicking the refresh button and having different girls populate the list and have some that you are watching their stats for to disappear.

Bit of a hard problem to solve, I will make a note to try solve it when I get time. I will need to allow black listing an clearing it at will during inital picking because currently you could brick your save by black listing everyone and not having girls to pick.

Hi, I'm getting this error, in a previous version save, when I chose a sponsor to view the requests

Bit of an odd error that is not anything new. Are you using any mods perhaps? King-tut's mods in particular? I know it makes some changes to sponsor requests.

BolHeX error during admissions IF you click the arrow in the bottom right to advance time by 30 minutes

Fixed on my side, thanks for the report. You should not be seeing that arrow during the intial picking phase.

Do we still want to stop girls from passing? If we don't get their grades up the mom pulls them out, so how do we balance that with the rest of the game?

You want to get their grades up and girls don't just pass anymore you need graduate them so you have all the time you need.

got more question,

1. what is official content? you said what is included
   
   it says what the content is but I don't understand why I'd want to download this.
2. Would you allow commenting instead of just view only in the permission for the spreadsheet, there are a few comments I'd like to add and mod creators could also benefit if they don't already have editing right (yeah it's more of a request than a question):
   1. moving the column M to between D and E so that important warning about compatibility can be easily seen.
   2. minor stuff like hiding row P and up and line 127 and other who have no content.
   3. adding redirects on cell for the mods who have requirements found on the spreadsheet (for exemple cell M78 needs a character found from a pack that is in E121)
   4. add filters, to see which are replacement and which are expansion (for reference,
      You must be registered to see the links
      )
3. when using variable checker, why is the girl always stuck to the same NAMEno matter what and how do i change that?

1. Its basically just a way I can add new stuff without bloating the main download size too much.
2. The mod spreadsheet has outlived its usefulness at this point. I need a better solution i.e a dedicated site, just haven't had time to do it yet.
3. "girl" isn't a real variable its just used in loops basically. Best way to modify a girls stats is to select her on the computer then use "selected_girl" so "selected_girl.corruption = 100". There is also a debug screen where you an visually change girl stats if you use that input code.

I am having this error just on start up alone. And I did use the hotfix

Are you sure it installed correctly? There isn't another "game" folder inside the main one?
If there is delete it any unzip to where the game .exe file is.

Getting an error in the beginning trying to select girls. Current bug fixes applied. Thanks for any help, really want to keep playing this great game!

This is a weird error to be having the game tries to default the clothed body image even if they are missing it. I will look into it and hotfix it.

Sponsor requests and making them more interesting is the next update so expect a lot of balance changes around that, I didn't think about how these harder to obtain items would affect sponsor requests.

Do I need to do anything different to start an available event with mothers?

The alert icon shows up for a few different event types in that screen. Each has a different trigger place so I am guessing this is a "early" home visit event which wouldn't show up as a dialogue option.

I am going to need to make another menu pop up when you arrive at the house for those to allow triggering them outside of random chance.

And it was that easy. Usually there is a visible scrollbar when you can scroll and I'm not used to scrolling text in renpy games that have scrollback enabled.

But thanks, now I can continue

It is visible but the change from bright blue to the grey makes it hard to see if you are new to the game.

Maybe a silly question, but what's the difference between 'Home visit' and 'Home visit early'?

 

[WarblGarbl]

Maybe a silly question, but what's the difference between 'Home visit' and 'Home visit early'?

Home visit early triggers before you actually enter the house I think. A normal home visit event would have the "hi how are you" dialogue stuff before triggering.

Question, say I choose mother A as president of the pta, they greatly refuse. I rollback and choose mother b. They greatly accept, even though her people skill is lower than mother A, why does this happen?

Idea, increase the chance of encountering a modded character, maybe by interacting with the director? WInkens? Anyway it reduces encounter chance in the map and school application from vanilla character and increases encounter chance with the other characters. Chances could be weighted so it's not a straight +1 chance or a 30% increased chances

It is likely a big stat different between the mothers(corruption, naturism etc) corrupted mothers won't vote for a prude and vice versa.

Maybe in the future I could add weighting but its not very important atm.

Yes, I had the King-tut mod, but I deleted it, in fact when I start a new game, the error does not appear, it is a problem that happens with an old save

 

[LeakAngel]

Hey,
I played a lot of WTM and I gotta say I'm curious as to what you're doing with this game. I'll play for a bit but I'm already liking what I can see in this thread.

I tried loading several mods, all worked except the dexell rules (I just removed the folder and game loaded correctly), just so you know and can update the spreadsheet etc.

 

[afwfweeeerr2csahty]

If you hire a nurse you can:
1. Summon for check up a girl, but if you do it before the class exam, nothing happens and I assume you gotta block that dialogue option completely because it's not meant to be used before class.
2. Summon for check up a girl, but if another girl is already in there, you get a popup dialogue like "that won't work (or smth)" and that confused me a lot (and I'm sure most other players) so I suggest you to change that message into smth like "There is not enough space for more than 1 student here". Maybe you should be able to kick out student you don't need to summon the one you want or add space to have at least 2 students there.
3. Apparently there is a trait when you cum on woman's face/body and the other for creampies, but maybe you can add one for swallowing?
4. Did changelog said you can assign job to women outside of the academy ones? Or only teachers, assistant, nurse and secretary?
5. When talking to women outside of academy, there is not "increase affection" chat option. Is it for balance purposes? Cuz I'm not sure how can I raise mothers' affection outside of orgasms and gifts.
