I think some of the confusion may be the version naming you are using?
  • CrossingtheLines-Day4-Alpha-pc
    • Runs to the end of Day 4, and all was working. So Day 4 is complete.
  • CrossingtheLines-DAY4.5-pc
    • Adding a half day, once Day 4 is complete, means you are in Day 5, which means the version should be "Day 5.5". Yeah it sounds like a big jump, but it's only by half a day..

Technically, the naming is consistent:
* day-4 runs to the end of day 4
* day-4.5 runs to the end of day 4 and covers 0.5 of next day (5th) If the next update covered whole day 5, it'd be named day-5

It can be still pretty confusing though, since on the face of it it's not immediately obvious whether "day 4" includes day 4, or ends right as day 4 begins, etc.

Hrm, yeah that's a fair point. I'll defer to your interpretation as it makes more sense. (y)

So from what I've been able to gather, Emily is:
  • adopted-daughter of Isabella
  • adopted--daughter of Marcus
  • no blood relation to Faith
  • adopted-sister to Connor

My point was more that this would be way better if they were just a family instead of jumping through all these hoops and excuses. :p

Personally, I prefer a route where we could keep the mom for ourself instead. she's already sleeping with the son so I don't see why she isn't fair game for us. Hoping for it to happen.

What scene are you referring to?
  • The scene where Faith masturbates in bed with the MC's bed on Day 1?
    • There are two criteria to meet:
      • 1) Faith's relationship score must be 4 or more. At game start, Faith has 3 relationship points. So you only need ONE of the below to hit 4.
        • Afternoon: Watch movie with Faith. Gets you +2 Faith points
        • Evening: Skip the club to stay with faith. Only available if you have Faith less than 4 points.
        • For a Faith path, I personally spend the afternoon with her (3+2=5), and then do whatever in the evening.
      • 2) Must not have been involved with Jules/Vicky. Can't offer to participate with them, or watch.
    • It both criteria are met, it automatically fires at the end of Day 1, no choice or interaction needed for it to start. She'll automatically poke her head in the door.
  • The scene where MC is masturbating, and she can fantasize about various people on Day 3?
    • If Faith came to the room, as per above, and MC let her stay, this will be selectable.
I didn't have any issues getting it to fire on my end. But it worked for me on the last release as far as it looks like in the code. Just have to make sure Faith's relationship score is 4 or higher before night on Day 1. If it's not, it won't happen.

Are you sure you don't have to skip the club period? Or does answering one of Vicky's other questions the wrong way somehow block you? I spent the afternoon with Faith, then went to the club and excused myself the moment Jules showed up, and still no Faith. (Vicky still texts you and regardless of requesting or not requesting the pic no Faith, the MC just goes to sleep at the end of the day.) Also tried not drinking, letting Vicky lead, and rejecting the voyeur option and again no dice.

Yes, you do need to skip the club if you want Faith to share the bed. She doesn't get opportunity to show up and ask otherwise.

That's incorrect. If you spend the afternoon with Faith you get enough Faith points. At the nightclub, as long as you do not get involved in any way with Jules and/or Vicky you are good. You can have a drink with them, but not much else.

Edit: removed due to an error on my end.

I'm 100% positive you can go to the club. I just ran a couple of quick tests, and it worked perfectly fine for me.

The catch is what you do with Jules or Jules/Vicky. If you do anything physical with him, or them, then you miss the Faith scene. By default the Jules variable is set to "no", so if you don't go to the club you are in the clear. Otherwise, the following can be set:
  • "no" -- You want this for Faith path. Nine different choices you can make at the nightclub will ensure this is set and can see Faith's path.
  • "kiss" -- breaks Faith path
  • "suck" -- breaks Faith path
  • "fuck" -- breaks Faith path
  • "peeping" -- breaks Faith path
If you go to the bar, can have a drink then go straight home. You can go and get fresh air, but do not flirt with Jules. Just go home.



Edit: The logic the game uses is (in order) at home at night is:
  1. Does Jules = "no"? If so continue to 2; else skip to 4
  2. Is Faith relationship 4+? If so continue to 3; else skip to 4
  3. Faith shows up and can see the masturbation scene
  4. End of day 1
Edit: removed due to an error on my end.

Looking at the script, pretty sure this is not an option? As soon as you're inside the club, even if you excuse yourself early this sets jules variable to no instead of blank you start with. And this in turn blocks Faith from showing up:
Python: 
    n "Emily found herself caught between amusement and discomfort as Jules flirted subtly, his charm undeniable but his intensity slightly overwhelming."

    menu:
//...
        "Excuse yourself":
            $ jules = "no"
            $ update_lust (-1)
      
            e "Actually, I need a break. You two have fun."
            e "Honestly, I’ve got too much on my mind tonight. I think I’m going to head home."

//...

    if jules == "no":
        n "The soft glow of her room greeted Emily as she stepped inside, her thoughts tangled and heavy."
//...
                        jump day2
//...
    elif relationship_faith >= 4:
        play sound "sound/knock.ogg"
        n "A soft knock on her door startled her. Before she could answer, the door creaked open, and Faith peeked in, her face pale and worried."
This matches with my experience in game. If i went to club it didn't matter how early i left. The game gives you some texting with Vicky and jumps to next day afterwards.

Yeah, you are right.

I think it was something I was playing around with, to try and massage the logic and just forgot. To me, going to the club, having a drink, and then going straight home would have still left plenty of time to still see Faith. But I probably got distracted and forgot to revert it and forgot. I re-extracted the game and it was as per what you showed. My apologies for the confusion on that, I'll edit the previous posts to avoid confusion.

It also doesn't help that the variable declaration has a comment for the values, but even on Day 1 it's inaccurate. 'No' is not a documented parameter, but was added, as you can see in a_variables.rpy: default jules = "none" #none, look, peeping, suck, fuck, couple, interested. The comment, "no" must have been added after the variables were created/documented and before Day 1 ended.

You need 4+ Faith points, and NOT having gone to the nightclub.

Yeah, i was thinking the same when i was actually trying that -- i figured i could save the relationship score hit with Vicky and then return early and have Faith still show up, but sadly no, the game doesn't have such option ._.

Hi, there,

As there was a lot of feedback, I've changed (starting with the next update) the way versions are named.


From now on, version names will follow this structure:

W[week number] – [last playable day] – [moment of day]
So the last version upload on Patreon was: W1-Saturday-Morning
Hopefully this will make it easier to know exactly where each update ends.

I've also reviewed the way I manage versions and their endings.
I used to work on everything in a single code file, and by-passing certain instructions (jump), you could access “in development/wiped” code. This will no longer be the case.
