workload downloads get insta flagged as virus. Gofile seems to work. This happens to all games lately not just this one. Gofile works but the rest tend to be flagged as false positives.
That sounds like an issue with the scanner. If an update does fix it, I would look into another one.
Some get a lot more false positives than others.

Well, I WANTED to try the game...but I got this error message when I tried to download the current version
Hey! Thanks for showing interest.

That's a new one to me. I'd try what TheDevian suggested, as I'm not sure if the links I provided were changed since I posted (there's a couple additional links that I hadn't added myself).

Alternatively, you can try downloading from the links provided on my Patreon and SubStar 0.15.0 Public Release post, or directly from my Itch page.

This has been going around a bit on a few games here, for several people. The problem is that only a handful of people are having this issue, I have tested the files myself, and had no issues, others have tested them with no problems. I have gotten some of them to test using a downloader to tests the files that are downloaded, I have had them update 7zip, one tried WinRAR, I can't figure it out.

I have asked a number of them to try scanning their system, but no one has gotten back to me about it yet.

So far, the reason seems to be the way Ren'Py does the zipping, repacking it might fix that, we are still looking into it.

ah ive ran through 2 ingame weeks and the new event still aint starting DX
Same issue here. Do we need to do anything special? Scruffles DEV

In the events screen the 7 days condition isn't struck through even after doing random events for weeks so maybe the time isn't being tracked correctly?

I'm not sure why I'm writing this, but it might be of use to someone who browses the thread.

First off - the game is pretty well written, all things considered. As for WHAT'S written, well... it's a lot, in multiple ways. Pretty dense writing.

Initially, I think that the MC was written very well in many regards, including (but not limited to) how he annoys the player/reader as well as the characters in the story. It's all very intentional, and very well done for what the game is.

At the same time, there are many things I dislike about him and the writing as a whole, and many times it comes off as either repetitive, preachy, or both.

As for the characters themselves... to me, that was the biggest disappointment. Not because they're bad. Quite the opposite, most of them are written very well. But for every single LI I've met, there's at least one or more things that either makes me feel disgusted, repulsed or otherwise just very negatively towards them. Some more than others, and some start off really likeable... until things start being revealed and/or shown that just absolutely kills my interest in them. I could go into specifics one by one like some other folks have... but honestly, I don't want to keep thinking about them anymore as I don't think I'll be coming back to this title despite it's great excellence in the writing department (give a man who hates fish the world's best prepared tuna and he still won't savor it, even if he appreciates the excellence in its preparation).

I mean that not as someone looking for some porn, but in some way or another they made me feel like I don't want to follow their stories anymore, don't want to get involved and want to cut them out completely - kinda like the MC himself usually does (or did). Of course we can't do that in this game though, as that'd go against what the game proposes itself to be.

I played until the end of chapter one and the introduction of the "variants" (Kyle and Diana). Quit the game just now, before the event itself was over (specifically, as King and Nathan entered the room with Sam and the MC to question them and King nearly pukes (again) after using her power to "see" the MC). I think that's about, roughly, half of the current content available? Like I said, it's a really dense game and very slow paced.

The story itself was interesting enough for me to push forward even with me liking the characters less and less as I advanced (with Lupe being the "last drop" as the chapter 1 events were wrapping up), however, it got very convoluted very fast towards the end of chapter one with tropes I absolutely detest (alternative worlds/versions of people), and prior to that the pacing was nearly GLACIAL in regards to anything regarding the events that initially set the whole story in motion - the things related to the shards and just about everything related to Sam.

Instead, there's a heavy focus on the MC's interactions with the characters, and a heavy (and oftentimes graphic) focus on the mental/internal goings on of the MC's mind.

I also felt that the game at times went out of its way to be disrespectful toward religion (Christianity in particular) and also has a very "anti-establishment political vibe" to it's themes and messaging, though the latter isn't too on the nose. The former is.

In regards to the religious references and imagery that is used I just thought... why? Why go out of your way to do things in this way? Felt very uncomfortable (and I'm not exactly a practitioner or anything but... I mean, for example, why would there be a placement of a crucified Ronald McDonald - a clown - painting in a fast-food joint in one of Lupe's events? Not to mention all the quoted scripture (many times with very intentionally warped text).

As an art form and as a means to convey a feeling or mentality, I get it. A way to denote a feeling of "godlike amoral superiority" or something of the like? I get it, I really do, but I don't appreciate the way it was done.

Overall, it's a very good and very well-written title... that will absolutely NOT appeal to MANY people. Even if initially people do connect in some way or another with the MC, as I did and I'm sure many ppl would/will as well, as events play out many people will feel more and more "DETACHED" from the game (pun absolutely intended cause I'm hilarious).

If you're on the fence about the game, give it a try. It's a very specific cup of tea that will not appeal to many people, but you just might enjoy it... maybe.

I want to try the newest update but fourteen and a half giga-bytes is a hefty file size for my laptop and would require removing some other things I don't want to remove at this stage. So I would second a request for a compressed Mac version, although I would understand if that is not a high priority.

Not sure about Mac specifically, but I know he is working on compressing it for a later release. So, next one should be a lot smaller.

We have a classic case of missing variable. :unsure:

Version 0.15.0 - maineventsch2.rpy
Line 16480:
$ renpy.end_replay()
$ selfmadeprison = True
$ hana_aff +=1
$ hana_dep +=1

Version 0.16.2 - maineventsch2.rpy
Line 16589:
$ renpy.end_replay()
$ selfmadeprison = True
$ selfmadeprison_post = True
$ hana_aff +=1
$ hana_dep +=1

Old saves are not broken per se. Code that fixes the missing variable is already in game. Placement is really odd though.

Workaround for the impatient :sneaky: (no console or code changes needed):

First, backup your saves. I don't expect any problems, but it's better to keep a copy of C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\Detached-1665805580 until the official fix is released.

Visit Anne in God's Might Gym in the morning and hit SKIP button during the event. Days counter is activated. Wait 7 days or more and the event will start next Saturday morning.
