QSP Girl Life [v0.9.5] [community project]

[HoodedSilence]

Qsp 1.9.0

Works fine here with all mods disabled in QSP 1.9 and stable build, so it's a mod issue which needs to be figured out or the mod author fixes whichever one you've got broken. I don't have all the mods listed so you'll need to do that testing yourself and report back.

Directly from our head coder
"This "Bug" is probably connected with "Autosave". It means that from some reason the file cannot be written on the disk (read only, bad rights, wrong path). It is not a bug in the code."

This why I'm a junior dev

Ok first of all i want to thank you all for helping me.
And second of all how am i supose to fix that? Because removing the the Mods doesn't help, making a new game doesn't help and i did try already to run the game with an other version of Qsp.

Edit: The Autosave was the Problem apperently.

So Thank you

It would be cool if made a remaster of the game (at least renpy) with a complete set of different characteristics of character, different parts of the body and used pictures of painted AI. With a worked out schedule of action. The creation of storylines for all key characters. Literally sims for adults who will become popular and developing. It is strange that investors have not yet appeared for such a game.

There's a lot of work porting a codebase, and to be realistic a lot of work for little gain without a full dedicated team to ensure the QC for porting especially as you'd have to suspend all coding on the QSP base and then port across which would take months if not years. RenPy for all it's strengths isn't necessarily the best engine either, sure QSP has it's limitations but so has other engines such as Twine, or the many JPRG systems. The advantage of QSP is it's low barrier to entry, and to be frank there's a lot of legacy code we don't have the team members to port across but is integral to the game mechanics.

The Girl Life dev team is small, and members come and go apart from the core members that we appreciate the voluntary dedication they put in.

I know, I'm not talking about porting. To some extent it already exists Uni but at the same time, do not draw landscapes with the main character like here. I know that writing code, especially from scratch, is difficult. But it's not impossible.

Uni probably isn't even 1% the complexity of Girl Life, it's mostly just a bunch of yes/no variables to decide which paths you're on.
A better example would be The Fixer, which has some surface level similar features and design philosophy. Still, that game is a nightmare to program, it's way too complex for renpy, has performance issues, stat gating issues, too many negative feedback loops and a lot more bugs.
I honestly doubt you'll ever see GL ported to renpy, the best you'll ever find is similar games.

I'm glad you figured it out. Usually the best way to solve it is things like setting admin privileges to the player, and/or making sure the game is outside your program files folders, as they do restrict what can be done in there. The best option (which I know not everybody can do) is to put pretty much ANY games you have on a separate hard drive. If you only have a C drive, then all you can really do is make sure it's outside your systems operating folder, which for Windows is Program Files.

Remember to put it in a folder labelled "not porn" just to be safe

Here's some of what Girl Life is doing under the hood:

Monitoring your fertility and pregnancy cycles this is one of the most complex parts of GL and I've yet to see any other game replicate this level of detail and functionality,
Tracking (mostly if here variables) of NPC locations,
It's tracking jobs, sports events, a whole host of MC stats on both an hourly and daily basis,
It's got a combat and magic engine,
It's tracking a wide variety of variables for health, energy and other character growth statistics often using obscure algorithms.

That's to begin with, when you port the base code you have to start from scratch. It's a new game at this point so you end up with a massive bug list rather than what we have now is a mostly manageable list to deal with and concentrate on the important part the stories and content. You have to remember if you port a base, and you see this regularly on F95, that you essentially kill the old project and and stop creating new content until the new engine is up to scratch. That more often than not kills the game dead in the water. We've got nearly a decades worth of code both legacy from the original game and the new material when it was switched over. We've been working behind the scenes on trying to improve the code for older areas, that's partially my job as is adding new systems to make both the players and devs lives easier.

It's not a question of what's possible, but what's both practical and viable. We're a small team and we'd have to bring everyone up to speed on the new way of doing things, new coding styles and development environment. Would it be worth it? Maybe, maybe not, as the beauty of QSP is it's easy to pick up compared to using a variant of C or even Python to a degree. The other issue to bear in mind whilst all this is ongoing is we'd risk alienating the community that supports us and enjoying the game as it is warts and all.

Genuine Question: Is there any other game that is similair in complexity and vastness in terms of events like this one? I can think of LifePlay from the top of my head, but that's it.

Rubedo was a great game, an isekai trying to create an economic simulation with multiple endings.

Depends if you want to be a good girl or not and how good looking your MC is.

Fucking only in the ass so far with all my family members and marcus.
Looks at 172 with makeup and a 7/10 on the fucklist.

Life play is kinda a bad example, its barely a game, its loosely connected scenes, there were very few updates that actually added anything in the way of gameplay, actually incorporating the systems in place, its just get this scene if you got this fetish sometimes, wide as an ocean deep as a puddle fits Life play the most, nothing feels like is a part of everything else, its technically a sandbox but its a very simple one, I've played much more advanced RPG maker sandboxes than that. Degrees of lewdity, Clean slate are closest to girl life (also Clean Slate does feminization stuff way better than Girl Life, genderswapped scenarios are probably biggest disappointments in this game sadly). Liliths throne is kinda similar ballpark? But it has furries, some of which cannot be turned off completely. For an RPG maker game Caliross is pretty advanced and has quite a few scenes.

Does being on "hot List" do anything for standing?

Depends on start date, if you're in summer then Pav tour guide or Starlets if you meet their requirements. Pav Hotel maid can bring a steady income. If city start learning and then working as a masseuse is another steady income stream, but receptionist is arguably better both for cash and fixed working hours. Sporting careers in Havana is also fairly lucrative once you meet the requirements.

You could also whore yourself but that has consequences.

There's many jobs you can do, so I recommend explore and create your own 'story' about how your character lives. That's the beauty of GL, it allows you to role play.

Thank you!
Where do I have to go if I want to work as a receptionist? I don't really want prostitution.
