I always keep forgetting about that one aaa... I just don't wanna loose the 2x stamina boost from Trained so I never switch to robust xD
Ah another thing... I wonder, has anybody tested to see if Impatient and Restless stack? Like giving a 9x bonus if they're both active on the same day? I have 40 Impatience right now so haven't gotten around to leaving to Metropolis that early but if somebody manages do let us know the result!

Actually managed to beat paladin before d100 in between on of my city hops. Hp boost from Robust body came in handy. That's almost 1.5k MoL in a d100 loop. I'll stick with farming this for a while now xD

hey quick question, for the romance? route stuff are we just supoosed to fly to the other city then just come back and hang out with them even though it says theres no more goals? sorry for the constant questions
Most of the romance routes require you fly to the other city before doing some of their goals, and are triggered by actions that aren't directly associated with goal progression (if you want more spoilers, routes.txt in the game folder says how to trigger each route)

Scroll down in that file to get exact steps. The top part is left vague for those that just want a direction and not exact actions needed.

Oh I didn't even think of scrolling down lol, sorry and thanks
More minor UI feedback.
When purchasing upgrades at the end, right click should subtract a level.

Do certain stances get replaced when a better version of it becomes available? I noticed I was unable to find generous and focused on my list of stances once I got balanced.
If I remember right, focused only lasts until you find Tanaka. Also if she never got kidnapped, you don't get the stance.
Ugh, so tantalizingly close to getting Truthseeker loop 5(654 MoL). It's probably possible with an early game route I'm not aware of that's more efficient than what I'm using(and/or more MoL loop 4).

Glad to hear that it's helpful! If you or anybody else have any other suggestions for how to make the instructions.txt output more readable, let me know.
For you or anybody else who runs into this issue in the future, this is one of the intended use cases for the instructions.txt file produced when you use the "test" option in the save file menu.
Yeah, that's definitely not the text variant that should be shown there.
I actually never played Muv-Luv, but Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Hollow Ataraxia were pretty big influences on me back in the day, so I suppose you're not too far off.
The idea of indicating multiple goal completions/attribute levels is a good one, but I think I might go with "[Complete x3!]" or something instead of using multiple exclamation points, since counting exactly how many exclamation points are there could get a bit tough once you reach endgame power levels.
"Fixing" the issue with only one completion being shown isn't straightforward, because I don't want the game to just show the regular completion scenes one-after-another. Instead, I plan on writing a system which injects some appropriate custom variant text when you complete a pair of goals together. For example, when completing Paladin's first two goals at the same time, you'll see the start of the first scene, then a new segment where you actually stop her from killing Lancia's goons, and then that will lead to the usual first parley together. So, you'll get everything you need to see in order for things to make sense continuity-wise, but the game will still acknowledge that you were way stronger than you are in the normal variants for the scenes. I plan to have this done in one of the intermediate releases before we reach Release 3.
This is a good idea. I'm currently working on a guide which I'll post to the group chats tab for discussion once it's done.
In Release 3, there'll be an event around Day 250 which greatly increases how much Sanity you need to press forward past that point, along with a few extra ways of spending Sanity. Originally, I figured it was fine to let players continue past Day 250 for now, but I'm wondering if it would've been more merciful to just add a hard end-of-loop there for now...
I'll probably add another quiet alternative unlock to the Paladin scene coming in the next release (like how you can still get Triumphant by preventing the abduction right now) in order to ensure that Balanced Stance can be unlocked.
Instead of using a prefix, I might just hardcode a special case into the save menu so that the "recognized" names (currentSave, previousSave, loopEnd, and whatever else might come later) are always on the top of the menu.
See above for my thoughts on loop length and simultaneous goal completion. Regarding a scene viewer, that's an interesting idea, but there would need to be some way for you to pick which "version" of the scene you want to see. For example, in Paladin's "shake her resolve" scene, the protagonist basically recounts the story of the loop to her, so there are a bunch of different independent variant parts, and probably more to come. Most players using the feature probably wouldn't even care that much which variant they were looking at, but in other cases (like DuMont's starting romance scene, which partially replaces one of the normal goal completion scenes), there would absolutely need to be some way of picking it. I'm not even sure how to offer a clean interface for something like that.
In any case, I'm glad you're still enjoying things so far!
A cheat menu is an interesting idea. I'll keep it in mind.
They are indeed coded to stack!
Excellent idea. I'll try to have this done by next release.
Once you unlock Balanced Stance, all the "worse" ones disappear. I realize that there are edge cases where you might prefer to keep your Max Stamina lower or avoid Attribute gains or something, but mainly I don't want the earlier Stances to crowd the menu forever.
The drug dealer that got ran over had an awfully specific model for someone who just existed to die. Any way to save her? Tried to search the thread but got nothing.
Doesn't seem like there exists a way to save her as of yet. For all intents and purposes she seems to be a regular ol npc for the time being. I do agree tho the sprite choice is awfully specific when most other npcs are depicted faceless unless they're hinted to be important in the future.
A roguelike I really enjoy uses that to denote multi-crits.
At amounts over 4, it's less about being able to precisely count them, and more the fact that seeing a large line of exclamation points in response to something you do just feels very satisfying. I also kind of don't think that specific level-up numbers beyond 3 are very impactful. When you get to the point where you're doing 4 or more levels, the exponential scaling tends to set in pretty hard and it's unlikely you'll have a similar bump in the same stat/goal again.
I think [Complete x6!] is clearer, but [Complete!!!!!!] is more "fun". I don't have a strong opinion on which is better, I'd be very happy with either.

i had random though about a perk i thought would be nice to have but i doubt would be added. what would everyones opion on a perk that allows you to start with 1 point in all skills (or atleast all college town skills). and how would it be ballanced? i was think it would either just becapped at 1 level or maby every point gives 1 point a 1 skill at a time in the order they are listed( for example it would go in the order of stamina, focus, finance, weetwork, academy, etc then if it can go above 1 then it would restart on stanima once every skill is lvl 1).
That's basically what Impatience ends up doing, with the exception of giving a level in Charisma.
I have actually thought about this exact thing too haha what are the chances? I feel like having even 1 level in academics from d1 would be HUGE. Especially since I am at a point where every level of academics literally multiplies attribute xp by 4.3x and I don't get my first academics level till like d48.
