Can't cheat with "Save Editor", really hate this Renpy update...

Do you guys know the commands to use on developer menu console?

Tried:
mendoza_family>sheri>love= ?? like shown on Save Edit, but didn't work, tried other combinations like:
sherilove=??
sherie_love=??

Any thoughts?

Did Renpy hide/remove the savetoken file? There used to be a small edit to that file that would let you use modified saves.

I will take a look at this. After several play throughs and tests, it didn't seem to be an issue personally, but happy to see how it fairs differently.
Is the main issue that it's a bit jarring?
Click to expand...
I'm not sure what word to use, but I do believe some users would say jarring for their view. It's one of the earliest interactions the player has with the game itself and attention is always needed to polish it to the best it can be. Same with the UI and any tutorial type interactions.

Asking a question without seeing the question is unnatural in games using written speech. Not allowing defaulting when you are having the user input two answers instead of one is unnatural and even more so when you're not including the "(Default: Name/Relationship)" to the input prompt's title without the ability to default.

All of this will not get you any praise even if you get it just right however and people will simply not care. It's more of a subconscious annoyance that sets the mood a bit. Like how AAA games can have a shit game but amazing graphics and high character customization or extension options for character creation are at the start after a great intro and it somehow earns it insane love from some users and tones down the hate of others. Those devs set the tone for great care at the start and even the lack of it afterwards does nothing to remove that first impression a player got so they romanticize the game. So most gamers will be able to tell you how important early interaction can be to get as perfect as you can even if it seems stupid at the time.

Either way, I was just providing a code adjustment for you to test. And if you ignore and do nothing, ignore it and try/use something else, or use it is entirely up to you. Your game's design is quite interesting with the isometric view and just hoping it helps since even testing and liking the original design is better than not testing and liking the original design.

Hello. How much freedom of choice? Monogamy route possible?

Yes and no. Right now there's not a lot of sexual content, but the plan is to ensure that players can play in this way if they want to.

I only made it to the sister introduction. Very pretty mom and sis...

Really bad navigation.
Probably should be able to use the doors to change rooms as well as have
a labeled shortcut bar to the rooms that's always visible.

I didn't like having to click the bottom right, look at the top left for the label then make sure
I was clicking in the correct spot each time.

BUT that's just me.... lol

Cheers and Best of Luck!!

Again....Beautiful Mom and Sis...good job
not sure abt the step-dad...as I labeled him..... I didn't
interact w him.

Oh..also the settings button on the phone didn't work for me.

Oh, strange!
I tested and it seemed fine. What were you doing just before that?

I appreciate the feedback. We may look at refining the navigation, so thanks!

The phone isn’t technically working yet, it’s a placeholder.
