Hello, i met the problem in the first 10 mins of game. I'm using Mac and i start the game with ren'py launcher as a project.

After I got the knife and left the bar I was given the choice of left or right. Regardless of the choice, the game starts to display a gray screen and an error.


Rich (BB code):
Code:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While loading <'Image' u'choicebox.png '>:
  File "renpy/common/000statements.rpy", line 531, in execute_call_screen
    store._return = renpy.call_screen(name, *args, **kwargs)

Yeah I messed up with MAC version apparently. Can you wait until next week? Those bugs were solved and we are now very close to finishing this version...

Just played this game.
Dang, the atmosphere here is ludicrous! The interface, music, scenarios, font, story... bravo!
I liked that the girls start doing fun stuff after some missions instead of waiting for hours before the action starts. And each one has its own personality!

The only thing I didn't like that much was MC's face. It feels like he was the first character made for the game and not reworked after the others were done. Lilith is the prettiest character.
The scene animations are a bit... strange, so to speak. Quite different from what I'm used to be. It works, in a way.
I also feel the lack of explanation on how to rob the specific targets to rob. As you can try to pickpocket only once per day, messing it up makes the player spend a whole day to try it again. Some general tips would help (especially because you have 5 seconds to decide which method to use). Does it matter if I chose left or right? If that decision barely matters to the game, might as well remove it.
Why Reiko is the only one that doesn't allow the MC to repeat a scene? She told him he could fuck her any day, but you simply cannot do it again after the first time.

I've found some problems with the game
When you fuck up a pickpocket, Lilith loses 2 Love Points with you, but the text says +1 Love Points
In the character bio screen: the text formatting is off and the scroll bar covers some words.
1613515252566.png
Another bug: after I get enough Love Points with Lilith (when she says she missed you), she became TWO
1613521309162.png

Speaking of Lilith, I'm a bit lost on how to unlock the scene with her. I already managed to go to the Immortals territory, but all I got was a bit of breastsucking. Her scenes on the computer are empty, meaning I have yet to unlock the big one. Will that happen only after I steal the 5k total?
Because Reiko had her scene at more or less 25 Love and 0 Lust, while Anne had hers at 20-ish Love and 10 Lust, IIRC. I'm already at 80+ Love with Lilith, 10 Lust, and 10 Charisma, but nothing unlocks a new interaction with her or changes the 'Lilith' topic (which reduces the Love Points)

There should be a counter for number of stolen cars (Anne's quest) and money stolen (Lilith's quest)

Sad news, seems that this will be another project with a lot of potential that is gonna be abandoned, the patreon page has been closed for some days now, hopefully one of the devs or anyone involved directly can confirm the status (if it is abandoned/ on hold/ or whatever the status is).

On a personal note i hope that nothing serious happened to the devs or anything like that; is sad that most likely this will be another abandoned game, i really liked the art, story and characters.

This project was abandoned alright. Lots of stuff happened, bad stuff actually. One of my coworkers(and childhood friend) was a victim of covid, I believe I mentioned this, when we thought it was just something easy to handle it was too late. One day here, the other wasn't here anymore. I felt I shouldn't keep up with this. For those out there that "don't believe in this disease" it's pretty serious stuff.
So after that, I couldn't even stand looking at this game nor the artist, who doesn't want to do this again, we were in 3, writer, artist, and designer. Now, I don't know how many time it was since the last update and this doesn't matter, since the 2D project will never be done again. However, a bit of good news if you are interested in it. As the writer and the main creator of this idea, I decided to do this project in 3D, it will be different from the first one, but the core history practically the same.
Like I put almost 8-9 months of thought in the whole history and all learned how to code how to manage stuff and yadayada. And after talking with lots of people about it, I decided that this is the best way of keeping my friend alive with me, at least trying to do this project once again, the one thing we always said we would do, work on something together. You can do whatever you want with this piece of info, if you gonna believe if you gonna assume that I may be lying, it's up to you, doesn't change the facts and I sincerely don't care.
In 1 or 2 months I'll be releasing a 3D version and I'd like you to try it out if you want. My thanks to those who worried about the project and everyone who played the original game.

See you soon.

Oh God! I'm so sorry for your loss, covid aren't a hoax or something to be taken lightly with and I hate it when good people suffer because of that. Part of me still feel a little happy that you and your team can move on from such tragic and still develop the project in the form of 3D, but a part of me feel sad that the game lose some of the air and unique feeling from 2D style
I hope and wish you and your team the best, once again sorry for your loss and it was truly a tragic event that me and many people did not want to imagine happen to your team and anyone that got infected by covid

Thanks, man! Actually, you are right, I'm trying to match the style with the 2D but finding an Asian girl that looks like an actual adult or a young adult it's being hard, like, or they look too young or they look too old. No racism here, just saying that it's lacking models that fit the character. Since I've didn't done many images with her, I felt that she was kinda off too...

Thanks for your kind words man. I feel the same that it's losing a part of its identity. However, I rather do this in 3D and keeping the idea alive, like, the artist already is already enrolled in another project with his personal life and I must say it doesn't feel the same, but that's life for you. We live in the worst country in dealing with pandemics, almost everyone lost someone since this thing started.

You can look through the Asians in adult games thread and see if there's something that fits and potentially contact the game's dev on what model they used as a base. As far as more adult looking Asians go, Mei from Sorcerer is young adult more on the adult side. MC's mother from Casual Desires would probably also work, as would Celine from Tales from the Unending Void. There's probably more that I don't remember.

I'm sorry for your loss, DVD.

However, I have to say that I really liked the charming 2D art of this game and I don't see the same in 3D. Gonna drop this one, unfortunately.

I wish you success in this and future endeavors!

I know that lots of people will see this like that and it's totally fine, they are not exactly the same projects anyway and now I don't have the help of my friends to put the tone a little bit down, since I tend to be too intense. I don't aim to force anything on anybody, really just wanna tell my story. Thanks for your support!!!

Kung Flu fucking us in the ass again, God fucking damnit. I wish you good luck on the 3D project, keep it alive for the friend as you said, in fact might as well insert your friend as a supporting character with personality and quirks and all just out of salute to them or an inspired supporting character. Good luck with you and Slaanesh bless. And it was really great thicc squishy 2D art too fug.
