VN Ren'Py Friends in Need [Mini-Sode: Blue Valentine] [NeonGhosts]

[Master of Puppets]

Hey NeonGhosts there is a omitted variable for bri_fear on her nice paths. At the end of the nice options the variable bri_rel is there but not bri_fear. So when the conversation with Carolina comes up about a babysitter, an error pops up.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 34083, in script
    menu:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 34103, in <module>
    "Suggest Brittani." if brirel == 0 or brirel == 1 and bri_fear == False :
NameError: name 'bri_fear' is not defined

To anyone looking for quick and dirty fix, open up the script.rpy in the game folder.

Edit the following line from this:

label ch4_britt_photoshoot:
    "Remembering your appointment with Brittani, you click your tongue."

To this:

label ch4_britt_photoshoot:
    $ bri_fear = False
    "Remembering your appointment with Brittani, you click your tongue."

Load a save before the photoshoot and play normally. I haven't checked all of the script, but the dark paths appear to correctly change this to false, its just the non-dark ones that are missing the variable. However, by adding my suggested change at the very beginning of the scene, at least it there is no way to accidentally skip over the variable regardless of any choices made during the photoshoot scene.

A better way to do this would be to use a default statement, that is how you are supposed to initialise variables. Create a new file with a .rpy extension and put default bri_fear = False in it.

Hi Dev, any chance we will see the girl from student loan again? I would love her comeback.

We all would, but unfortunately... if he crosses the streams it would be bad.


Imagine this Twinkie is NTR...

The writing in this game is miles ahead of any other game on here, it's in a completely different league.

Well, this is not a "I've spent 2 years in a coma and now that I 'm back home my landlady and my roomies so want to take care of my huge willy" story, for sure.

I think this developer could make a compelling game based on even that idea Overused ideas aren't necessarily bad, it's all about the execution IMO.

Nope. Crap is just crap.

I'd planned to have Riley appear in FiN, but people largely said they'd rather not see her in the game. Most people said they didn't want to take away the happy ending she potentially got with her Professor. But, I'd planned (and still plan) to do another mini-game with her. Just harder and harder to find the time right now. :'D

Hah, thanks! I've mentioned before that I'd really like to do a riff on Bad Bobby one day. I think I'd have a lot of fun playing in that little universe, and using some well-worn tropes of the genre. But as always, time remains the limiting factor.

Dev doesn't use Default for any of the variables, but bri_fear is first listed at the beginning of chapter 4. No idea, why renpy isn't picking that up from there.

label ch4_start:
    label ch4_variables:
        $ ash_abuse = 0
        $ ash_justfriends = False
        $ nicki_abuse = 0
        $ bridkpts = 0
        $ brirel = 0
        $ bri_fear = False

Sorry to ping you again NeonGhosts but you should probably take a look at

You must be registered to see the links

on renpy's website. If I remember correctly, other devs have had issues with saves not properly storing variables because they did not use Default. It won't be a huge issue now, but once the game is big enough to split into multiple downloads it may mean not all save data would transfer properly.

I don't really care if he uses the default statement or not, it's still the proper way to do it and better than doing it at the beginning of the chapter like that. Also persistent data is something completely different, it is for storing data that is not associated with individual saves, but across all saves. A common use is for things like gallery unlocks that are not bound to individual saves.

All good! I mentioned this when someone else brought it up, but I just.. Didn't know I could do that. So, I've added it to my big list of stuff to fix/integrate once I do the Chapter One reboot, and overhaul all the variables anyway.

General FYI: I updated Patreon and SubStar at the $15+ tiers with preview content for the next build of the game. Features 220-230 total images, completing Viola's event, and giving the player the opportunity to have a little fun with Ashe in his car.

Oh god I loved Viola's scene. Watching the girls interact with each other is so satisfying!

I love this picture. Can it be unlocked in multiple ways? Well, better not answer. We better play and we'll find out.

What I would like to know is if the next update will be just dinner with Ashe, or will it have more content. I think it was going to be a shorter update, to end the chapter. I don't know if you are adding more last minute scenes.

It seems there is a scene with Viola too.

The next update should be a scene with Ashe and Viola, sex scene with Ashe and end with getting Mr. Barron out of jail with Gabby and Madison.

lol, man that game... everyone wants to do a spinoff, so I guess that says something good about it, yet also something bad if u think about it (i.e. wasn't satisfying enough to play, whether lack of content or something else, so u feel the need to improve its many flaws; at least thats my interpretation). for me personally, it has good character models and a very good idea base, also one of my first games i discovered with nice darker content (or at least the promise of it), but damn is the execution pretty horrible. nothing kills a boner quicker than "free roam" repeating crap over and over looking for where you're supposed to go next, just ends up being wasteful padding so the dev can say "many hours of playtime" or w/e. many devs come and go promising to properly implement it, but, I could see u being the chosen one in an alternate universe where u have the time, ofc

 

[BountyBoy]

What an incredible game! The story is gripping from the start, the characters are all interesting and rich in personality. The writing is precisely mastered, the themes reinforce this psychological/adult side sought. I really like the variety of options left to the reader and the impact it leads to.
I also hope that some choices made in previous chapters will have more or less visible consequences on the sequel

Can't wait to find out what happens next, keep up the good work pal

Correct! And time permitting, I'm going to add two more small scenes - one featuring Alex, and one with Risa.

Hah! I have a weird view of that game, which boils down to: it's not good, but I like it! I think that as this whole genre has expanded and grown, Bad Bobby has remained this weird, quaint little project that somehow still tends to work. Like, the art is a little weird, it's laden with typos, and the story is very straightforward, but there's kind of a visceral appeal to it.

I'd planned to do a riff on the scene where Bobby discovers Lucy in the shower after a night of partying, but never really had the time to futz with it.
