This is pretty much the only developer who releases small files as updates for the hotfixes and not re-upload the entire game all over again.

I cannot count how many times I downloaded several gigabytes worth of data just for a small fix in a massive game.

Thanks

Thanks, but it has its drawbacks, as you can see from some of the recent posts.
"Patch not working" which (if it works for others) means in 100% of the cases that the user applied it the wrong way.
But instead of trying to find out what they did wrong, they keep complaining about the patch not working.

To help them anyway, here are the 2 most common errors made when applying the patches.
  • Using unren and decrypting the rpyc files without knowing what that means
    If you did this, in order for the patch to work, you need to delete all the rpy (that's the decrypted rpyc files) and only after that copy the rpyc files from the patch and overwrite the existing ones
    Why do you have to do this? Because that's how renpy works. If there are rpy files, they will always take precedence over rpyc files. If you start the game, the renpy compiler will create new rpyc files based on the rpy files, so your patch is poof (gone).
  • Extracting/copying the files into the wrong folder.
    If you copy the patch files and you are not asked if you want to overwrite anything, you did it wrong and copied the files to the wrong folder

Here is another bug that has not yet been reported I think?
Alice is the doctor but all interactions are still with Delizia even though the latter is in a different location at that time (at the beach in my case):

Maybe the following is not a bug? I am not sure.

And there is a minor typo when you are in the night bar and sit down with Yvette on the couch. Jennifer: "..., please take of your shoes ..." (should be "off").

Here are a few things that I noticed about the restaurant:

To talk to a girl in the restaurant you click on her. However, focusing on that girl requires another click. It would be great if the focus was on that girl automatically after sitting down at the table. I mean, I clicked on her because I wanted to talk to her. Alternatively, sitting down at a table without focusing on a specific girl could be achieved by a click event on the table surface.

When you sit down at a table a second time, you have to go through the whole welcome-to-our-table-routine again even though you did so just a moment ago. I would welcome a somewhat shortened version* in that situation as that would also be more natural.

When you sit at a table and hover the cursor over a girl her stats are shown, except for the girl you talk to. Those are only available via the quick access menu in that situation. It would be great if the stats of said girl were shown on hover, too.

While the restaurant looks so much better than the old one, interacting with the girls has become more tedious imho. Maybe there are additional ways to improve that?

For those who have not yet discovered the following very useful feature: by holding the control key pressed you can skip dialogues and scenes. Questions and important interactions are not skipped. That reduces to a minimum the number of clicks you have to perform manually.

* like "Nice to have you back!", "Missing us already?"...

  • Wrong nurse "selected" for actions --> fixed, will be part of 0.3.7
  • Two different nurses at the same time --> not a bug, it's intentional - only happens on two days if I remember correctly, it hasn't been changed with the patch, it's still ike this
  • typo "of" fixed in two places
