was going to ask the same thing ,but you beat me to it
I'm guessing it's the older daughter (Shani) In the last update, she took over as the one we play as in the market, even made a choice or 2 with her. It wasn't much not much so far, but I'm guessing she is, and will be the reason for the FemProtag tag going forward.

Yeah I think you are right, but I would like to see her also more involved into a sexaul relationship with the MC. On the other hand it would be really nice to play more out of her view.

There is a huge issue with scrolling back. It takes you way to the beginning where you fight the raiders. I lost all my progress many times. And when you save and reload the game breaks:

Code:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 272, in script call
    RF "WHAT THE FUCK?!"
  File "game/after_load.rpy", line 5, in script call
    call rename_chars from _call_rename_chars
  File "game/after_load.rpy", line 20, in script
    if persistent.E_name is None and maid == "True":
  File "game/after_load.rpy", line 20, in <module>
    if persistent.E_name is None and maid == "True":
NameError: name 'maid' is not defined

Dev: You should be declaring any new variables with the "default" statement, so that when loading a game from an older version the new variable will have a value.

I was trying to debug some issues and noticed you are making things more difficult for yourself.

python has booleans, you can use False and True instead of strings "False" and "True".
However, if you change existing variables you will break saved games.

menus can also be labels, you don't need to do that yourself.
You don't always need to use jump/label with menus. The end of a menu branch sends you to statement after the menu.
Make sure the indentation is correct when using nested menus so you continue to the right place.

example:
Code:
label start:
    "What is your favorite color?"
    menu color_question:
        "red":
            $red = True # continues to the statement after the menu statement
        "blue":
            $red = False # continues to the statement after the menu statement
        "something else"
            "bad luck"
            jump color_question
    "ok" # red and blue branches continue here, as this is the statement after the "menu" statement with the same indentation
    # continues to next label automatically, you don't need to jump to show_color

label show_color:
    if red:
        "you like red"
    if not red:
        "you like blue"
I would recommend reading the ren'py documentation for what you can do.
At the very least, check the documentation for the statements you are using.
One last tip, use the ren'py "Check Script (Lint)" tool and fix the issues it raises.

There is a scene where the story is told from the eldest daughter's point of view.

But what does it matter? It doesn't change the render quality or the intruiging setting of this VN.

When you get None to tell you her real name, and your character says he will use that from now on, she is still just called None.

Also wondering this. "Script" does not really explain much.
ZetanDS
People who downloaded the buggy file that was posted on here yesterday and have had issues might solve those issues by pasting the script file in the game folder. If it works, it's a quick solution. If it doesn't, you should download the whole patch or the game in its entirety
