holy hell. this game is so broken, it hurts: nothing works if you are principal (looping back to earlier lessons at best, spewing endless messages about missing assets, at worst). hell, even entering the office greets me with

"Error: <<goto>>: passage "EllieBreakdown2" does not exist<<goto"EllieBreakdown2">>"

trying to work? nope, "Error: Clara Staff is not defined"
check other schools? nope, "Error: <<goto>>: passage "School rules" does not exist"
meet with sponsors? stuck, since there is nothing to press to continue.
school programmes? out of frame, and doing NOTHING.
school clubs? not working.
staff control? "Error: Clara Staff is not defined"
human resources? broken.
scheduling? reverts you to previous lesson.

school position? always 5000th.

i get it - game is in development. but why not properly cauterise not working parts?

Mostly because sugarcube/twine is such a bloated mess of code that just appends line after line after line after line after line to each other that leads to a giant convoluted and unsalvageable mess. And well, SS isn't a coder or a webpage dev (which is what is needed for html games). It's why the cheats are done the way they are done, where it's a box that they just go onto a password generator and then copy and paste it into the UI. EllieBreakdown2 doesn't exist? That's because they left an E out from it and it says "ElliBreakdown2" in the code. Those kind of little things are basically the lifespan of the game. They need to go through 75,664 lines of code.

(Also this is in any means an excuse. Rather, it's a criticism. Dumb people go "Well, Sugarcube looks really easy to make a game with! I'll chop up some real porn videos and make a game, call it a day. Then their game turns into a giantass mess and surprise pikachu! They can't find out whats wrong with it because they open it in vsc or sublime or something else and have no idea wtf they are looking at, so they hope to bury it in new content.)

Uh, you do realise that the Twine SDK is graphical, with a node editor, right? Nobody should actually be using a text editor for it.

In version 1.03, you can start another photoshoot with Angela in her room after 21:00...if you do that, the scene moves in the livingroom, but you go back in the time at 20:00. After you finish the photoshoot, all the watch tv event is messed up. You keep to watch tv with her in an endless loop and even if you don't watch tv, Angela will deseappear forever.
Yeah, sorry for that fixed for 1.05 already

Angela breaks the game after the second or third photoshoot. basically the only interaction you have with her is to watch a movie and you cant watch tv to build charisma anymore once this happens or continue her storyline. Hopefull the dev is working on it.
Can you share your save? I'll take a look if this about save or in game bug

hey, i wouldn't be so salty about those errors, if not for their ability to lock game, if you don't have "back" button.

yeah, i know: you can obtain cheats in various ways, but stil...

I've also encountered this. Pretty disappointing

The storylines do continue but randomly.
I just started doing random shit and advancing different storylines and after a while Angela's started again no longer stuck with the tv.

Not really a solution tho.

SUPER ANNOYING BUG - Put in a lot of hours before finding out that a pretty streamlined game with a clean look is riddled with bugs that stop all progress and old saves are not compatible. Devs just need to get help or pull the plug, no?

What random stuff did you do that unstuck Angela?

Nothing specific to Angela, just proceeded with other storylines, did random activities then got another scene with Angela somewhere else and that unstuck the living room situation.

I'm stuck with Linda now though, can't even progress the after school hours event.

Edit : OK looked around at the code and can see why some of the events are not triggering or triggering randomly.
Basically some of the variables don't align, you can see that some flags are wrongly set or they don't trigger the correct scene.

at least this game is consistent. It's been that way from the beginning. I guess no one reads through these threads before downloading... We need a bot that ranks games based on the % of posts that are about the game being broken.

Been playing the game for a while now, always had some things broken.
Only this time I've looked at the code and figured some shit out.

Now I just edit some code or variables whenever I get stuck in a storyline.
