First, thank you for a great game. I love the story, gameplay, and artwork. I really hope development continues for many years and success in your efforts. The recorded live streams are great. As far as the project work goes, are you surveying subscribers via the subscribestar page or discord or both?
Secondly, I don't know how I did it, but I broke the game. I was able to revert to an old save and use debug mode to enable the parameter to fix it. Here's what happened.... For some reason, the "sleep in bed on Sunday, school starts Monday" task was never completed. This meant on Monday, the school was closed. On Tuesday, since I didn't sign up for classes I couldn't do anything at school and the gate to leave became blocked. Since I couldn't do classes or lunch or whatever, I couldn't leave the schoolyard since the gate was forever locked--even time skipping a day ahead, I was still trapped in the schoolyard. I reverted to a Sunday save, went into debug mode and set school_days to true and the school_intro to true, then slept. On Monday, the school worked for me. I did sleep in my bed on Sunday the first time, so I don't know why that task was never marked as complete and why the school wasn't open on Monday. After the debug modifications, the "sleep in bed on Sunday" task was marked as complete and I was able to continue the game as normal.
Lastly, I feel the story with Tammy needs small another part. MC and Tammy went from a first introduction in the gym to talking like they knew (or at least talked more than once) each other behind the school. That storyline felt too rushed/fast for me.
