Cool, thanks for sharing! I don't use JoiPlay either btw, but I suspected

, as the game won't start when run via (or inside) a standard Ren'Py sdk either (which I do often when the game uses a RP version that has MMX disabled, or just like to de-bloat (or avoid false AV positives ) by just extracting the 'game' folder) - and I've seen this before.

When Live2D Cubism is used, I suppose (believe) the playback/decoding routines reside inside the game's executable? It also prints out some console messages when run. Not sure, but well could be, if a non-standard or obfuscated rpa is a direct result of using Live2D Cubism.

Wonder if that's also contributing to their gallery bug. From what I saw of the script they're tracking a persistant.in_gallery variable to check if the player is viewing the scene from the gallery or not and returning to the gallery if True. It should only ever get set True if the user clicks the gallery button in the main menu, but while tracking the variable's status it seems to just suddenly switch to True for me the moment a live2D scene gets hidden to show a webm animation during the bath scene.

Nothing in the scene's script should turn the variable true, and my first spitball idea was that prehaps such a large transition between complex files is overloading the imagecache and making the game reload the UI which includes the Gallery and it's True variable or something, but if the exe has Live2D code embedded in it then prehaps some bug with unloading live2D images is resetting persistance or something. Could also just be a complete coincidence it's happening on those exact lines too though. Seems like a weird bug, I reached the limit of my basic knowledge trying to bugfix it for learning curiosity.

If I never posted the option for a specific dialogue, then it's because I forgot or think it doesn't affect the flag value.

Heres the exact choices that add a yandere point from the script just for full reference:

As long as you reach the final scene with more Yandere than Romance points, you'll get the faceride scene, so you can still pick some romance options for RP or possible future content if you want.

The gallery bug makes the final faceride scene particularly hard to reach though, so if you're hard-locked from seeing it, you can use this console unlocker and enter 'jump g_faceride' into the Shift + O console to access it and unlock it in the gallery.

really wish we had a slow burn/romance focused tag. This is amazing so far it gave me a heart boner. Or maybe heart palpitations idk. Does the steam version include the upcoming chapters or are they going to be sold separately?

Do u mean this thread needs a 'romance' tag? I concur, as for the current content goes it's applicable. A 'slow-burn' tag is planned (future site update). This VN doesn't strike me as a slow burn however, it isn't, but maybe u mean u wish this VN would've been set up for (a possible) one.

you're probably right on both points. I may be playing too much stuff recently that moves too fast and that's warped my perspective on what I'd consider a slow burn.

Here is my theory based on almost nothing. We are to become a vessel for a soul she has stashed somewhere.

What's the difference between Yandere and Romance? Aren't they both the same thing?

Here is my theory based on almost nothing. We are to become a vessel for a soul she has stashed somewhere.

her dead husband maybe.

My own theory is that MC is either a reincarnation of the husband or him brought back to life (or who knows she's probably just crazy). Frankly I don't trust that MC recently entered the castle. I think he's been there for a long time in a cycle almost. Each time he dies he wakes back up in the cell and Arvenia tries again. Perhaps trying to recreate her husband in him. The carving in the rock could be from a previous cycle. Also when she describes her wedding night she says "we" possibly referring to MC. Or this could be meaningless. Also her reaction to MC after shaving, she acts stunned possibly seeing her husband in him again. Unrelated but she seems to have multiple personalities with differing goals. Or this could be a red herring and she just acting at not being a psycho.
Either way very intriguing characters.

how do you guys avoid the bug ? the one where we get sent to the gallery

I think Yandere is more focused on femdom whereas romance is more vanilla (based on the difference in the last sex scene of chapter 1 anyway).

We're now on itch!
The bug has also been squashed! (Fix is up on the steam)

 

[kossk]

This was really good can't wait for more

That's not a bug. It means the game ended and you have to restart. It doesn't have a long story so you can see all endings in a few playthroughs.

No, in one of the earlier scenes it sends me to the gallery even though there are more scenes later, so I think it's bugged there.

 

[Yamura]

I think v.1.01 is out……..it’s supposed to clear the bug. Looking for a hero…….

 

[lostraven]

No... That is actually a bug. If you got booted to the gallery, you're playing the bugged version.

 

[srfsmrf_]

IIRC the bug happens at 2 points. You can read back in the thread how to work around it (it's a bit cumbersome, I had to try a number of times on occasion).

It's been fixed 6 days ago (Sep 14) (Hotfix 1.0.1 @ Steam)
