@RomanHume Seems like there is a bug in here, when you turn down Jane she storms out of the room, but it still continues as if you didn't reject her.
Thanks for pointing this out. We'll look into it. Probably another flag that didn't get shut off.

Yep, sorry about that. Missed a jump sequence. Fixed! Thanks again for bringing it to our attention.

No problem, I didn't plan to go that way anyway. I mean what guy in his right mind would deny her? :p

Transparent text (and name) box for this game attached to this post.
It replaces default text box and name box with completely transparent ones and to make text still readable, adds outline to all text in the game and changes font color in these boxes to white.

Extract into the game root folder (where the game exe is), overwrite original png-files, in case you extracted them before (using unren.bat or some other tool)

I just thought that maybe there are some other guys beside me who don't like the default half-transparent text box and prefer a transparent one instead of tapping on the H-key all the time. :rolleyes:

To restore original textbox, just delete textbox.png and namebox.png from the game\gui subfolder and outline.rpy and outline.rpyc from the game subfolder.

I just want to commend you for exhibiting such a positive example here that other game devs will hopefully take to heart. Yes the majority of users on this site may not be currently paying supporters, but when you see a developer interact as you have, you encourage more to become paying patrons or at least try to earn their keep via helping QA test the project and help it become better. It's been great to see how this project has developed so far and I feel like the way you have engaged with the forum to explain your intentions for the direction of the game, continuous updates of progress and new builds appearing at a fast clip just as you had promised... well I really just wish more game devs followed your model. Cheers to you and the rest of your team, keep up the great work!
Thank you for the kinds words. Our philosophy is this, every player, paying or not, has the potential to become a paying player. So it just makes sense to treat everyone as a paying player.

We are also of the opinion that people who are contributing on patreon, are something between an employer and a customer. As our employers, we feel like we owe them constant updates on the work we are doing and prove to them that we are earning our keep. As customers, we feel like we owe them something for their money. So we try to include plenty of special patron only renders to entertain them between updates as well as free public renders to demonstrate to everyone the constant forward momentum that we are trying to maintain.

We started off in this forum with a lot of negativity, and to be fair it was warranted. Here we were, coming out of nowhere with next to nothing, and it was easy for people make assumptions based on the historical precedents set by other developers. We knew the only way we could combat that was to be honest, transparent, and positive. We figured that in time, if we stayed true to the course, and people got to experience what we were putting together, that some of them, maybe not all, but at least some of them would come around.

Thank you for sticking with us this long and continuing to check back!

We discovered reading other forums that there is the occasional odd man out that wants to play the monogamous lover. So giving an option to shut down a romance was simple enough and it gives a subset of players something they want.
But I'm like you, WHY WOULD I DO THAT? =D

That is Awesome! Thank you for this. If a moderator wants to add this to the OP we're perfectly fine with that.

Eventually we will fix this because we also aren't happy with how much space the default text box occupies, but gui customization hasn't been high on the priority list at the moment. But rest assured, it is on the list of things to do.

In the meantime, thanks for the fix!

Sure, I'm all for being monogamous in real life unless everyone involved is ok with screwing around, but this is a game and I don't play games for being close to reality x'D
Other than that this game has quite a few pretty models, it would be a shame to let your work go to waste.

I agree on all the points you've made here! Cheers!

Man, you guys are really fast.
They were relatively simple fixes. Single variable type problems that only required a line or two of code to fix. Nothing major. We have patrons that paid for these updates, so we owe it to them to be Johnny on the spot with the repairs. But ultimately everyone benefits.

Salute!

This thing is extremely well-written so far. But I'm hoping I won't have to start over from scratch with every update. Right now there's not enough content for that too be too much of a pain, but the longer the game gets, the worse more cumberson it will be.

No, you should not have to start over from scratch with each release. We are saving any major API changes for the beta because we've all been there. Nothing worse than playing a game for months and then one day the dev comes out and says "You'll need to start over because some changes aren't compatible." Of course those changes make the game better, but it's a pain in the ass all the same.

So while we do have some API changes we would like to make, we are keeping our readers in mind and saving those changes for when we are ready to go to beta. For the alpha, we are really concentrating on where the story is going, so any major code changes can wait until the beta. We also figure that when we hit beta, we'll know what the story is start to finish and new mechanics are best added at that time.

Now tonight was an exception, we did recommend starting a new game, but only if you wanted to see the Jane sequences before we got the bug fixed. That has now been taken care of and the new version should merge fine with your previous one.

HOWEVER, if for some reason merging your new download with your previous saves does not work, please let us know, because that means we have another problem we need to solve.

Cheers, and thank you for your patience.

Checkpoint system is not so comfortable
People disapointed that ending.... I understand - dev has his opinion/vision of his creation... but... :) I'll try to explain simple: teasing people is not good :). I'm trying to say - you made HALFgame
