unfortunately this traceback is not from my bugfix...

Have you installed / merged files properly?

EDIT: if you unpacked the RPA file before, you should unpack it now too or remove all *.rpy and *.rpyc files
Yes it is and yes I did. Been doing this shit a very long time.


It looks like the dev is here, so I will mention that the game is unusable on Linux. The Linux file system is case sensitive, and the code is very inconsistent with matching the file names' case. The code also has several places where it assumes that \ is the delimiter for subdirectories. I started to tweak it because the occasional problem isn't a big deal, but I quickly threw in the towel.
confirm... I have the same errors (with the phone conversations)
I'm adding a fix. It works for me. Would you guys be so kind as to test it for me? Thanks.

Most of those files in conversation arn't used.
and only
Code:
Carlos/carlos_1.convo
needed fix
for others conversations I modifiedied paths for them in the script.

as I said earlier I only tested it on the compressed version
Ok. I'm not trying to shit talk you over this. And also, the error we were having with the phone was with another person. Forgot her name now. But, I need to check my fix on a new game start, since someone is having issues with that.

works for me too, thanks... with one exception: there is a new error when starting a new game:LOL:
Try this now, bro. It's fixed here. If it works for you, I'll fix it in the previous.

Edit:
If it does work, thank fixrapid as he left the one folder as 'Carlos' instead of 'carlos' like I did. So, I decided to try that. Hopefully everything is in working order with him and I trying to work on this.

I finally got time to catch up to the comments and would like to thank everyone for sharing their opinions. And I'm happy that some of you have enjoyed the game and the story so far.

The biggest issue to me seems to be the phone feature and how it's making Mac and Linux users, unable to play. First of all, I have 0 knowledge on programming, working on Renpy was my first time seeing line of "codes". The phone was done by a very kind and helping hand. I really wanted to have it in for Ep1 but maybe that was my mistake. I'm going to discuss with him about the issue, but after seeing the feedback, it might be faster to take it away for now. In any case, it's gonna be look into.

I will also try to answer some of the questions I've seen in the previous pages.

1. No incest. I knew Ari would be popular because she is cool but still no incest.

2. No, you won't see Ari fuck any dudes.

3. All the girls on the banner are main LIs. It pretty much means they all have character's arc planned already. But that doesn't mean they will be the only girls you can fool around with in the future. There will be side girls (and new main LI) but they will be introduced later.

4. There is no harem. You might be able to fool around with some of them at the same time but you won't end up with everyone.

5. The choices don't have serious consequences for now, but they will add on later.

6. Girls are not romantically forced on the MC. Some event will happen, like in Ep1 but you have the choice to not take it further if you aren't interested. You won't be forced to sleep with anyone for the storyline.

7. We have planned for around 10 episodes with, hopefully, a dev time of minimum 2 episodes per year. Atton is already well advanced in Ep2 and I will start writing Ep3 soon.

We know the story is not revolutionary or even challenging like some would put it but that wasn't the point. It's a first try for Atton and I, my first time writing anything so we want to stay simple and just put out an enjoyable game with compelling characters. Did we go for safety? Yes, but safety also gives us reassurance and confidence we can keep the quality until the game is complete because we will complete it.

Again, thanks for the comments. We are very open about constructive criticisms since we are still learning and we want to get better, so keep them coming ;)

Have a good day,
K

hmm... it looks like the error is caused by a comma in the file 'carlos_1.convo' on line 22 (reply, "Dude, just stay home.")
Hmm, well shit, fuck. We need a real modder/patcher to fix this. I asked my buddy Sancho1969 to do a fix, but, he's real busy at the moment with a problem child game he's been modding for over a year. Ahaha But, I think I'm done with it. Maybe Xibi can kick it a few times. :ROFLMAO:

after your fix it is enough to remove this comma and everything works fine (y) (reply, "Dude, just stay home." -> reply "Dude, just stay home.")

The phone app should exist but needs to have each girl when they send a message like that you know who is writing and the social media should have impact when you reply like BaD. Hope we can have more LIs like jessica (blue hair girl),choices having impact on the story and relations with the girls.

Ok. I still would like to see Xibi make an actual fix. But, make sure to thank fixrapid Give him a (y) or something. His fix is what made me try the capitilized folder for Carlos.

Good start, characters are pretty likable, writing/dialogues is good for a porn VN and the renders of the characters are nice, also solid variety. MC is maybe almost too much of a Gigachad, but then again games are wish fulfillment, so thats fine. The siblings also arent a bad idea, makes for a good dynamic outside of LIs.

Hope you guys can keep up with your schedule, the follow-up updates are usually what people wait for after promising starts, which this one definately is. Ideally you probably wanna release more than 2 updates a year early, to build traction tho.

id originally mentioned as a being a dik alternative but this feels a lot like a lower budget Summer Gone as well.. looking forward to future updates and please do something about mc's hair and skin.. skin wise he looks like his blood pressure is about to burst and he doesnt match his siblings.. unless thats intended by racial birth difference

Good job, Devs. Really strong first episode, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Renders look great and I find the characters are well written. They all seem to have very different personalities, well done. I would also like to mention the facial expressions are fantastic. Really looking forward to see where your story goes
