"talk to Erika about hosting company yoga class", where is such option? i don't see it

Find Erica it should be on the far right option in her dialog box near the bottom.

 

[Urpo]

"Next update is when the new graphic system is mature." Is this about the mod's system or Vren's?

It is about the the original game to be re-designed using Live2D graphics, which did not happen (yet).

nope, no such option, when i talk to her about finances she says "it's OK but i want something else", this is "something else", maybe i need convince my staff about both "sports" and "yoga", i only did about "yoga"

Just curious if you guys have considered furthering the game through your mods... I would sponsor you on patreon if so... I believe he has made the game open source, and although VREN has done a great job... I never played this game without your fixes and mods. Just the navigation alone is well worth supporting you. Your added content is great also. I am sure you could make a complete game just through the furthering of your mod package. Your monthly then bi monthly mod release has always been the best day on this site. I write this post mostly to pay your group its due. By far some of the best modding I have seen, and I hate to see it end because the developer is MIA. Whatever you all decide ... thanks for all you have done

I actually came on tonight to say the exact same thing, takeover the game as we havnt heard anything from Vren in months

Is it at all possible to hire Ms. Whitehead? The City Inspector that shows up? I can put stuff in her coffee and we had sex multiple occasions but still refuses to be hired.

I think the main crew are waiting to see what's going on with Vren. Starbuck has expressed worry over the situation, but no indication that she intends to continue LR2 without vren. I think she does want to write vanilla character's stories, she's even asked permission from Vren himself, but doesn't want to waste her time when Vren could return

The city rep cannot be hired. There's no conditional logic in the label for offering to do so:

label city_rep_offer_hire(the_person):
    mc.name "Tell me [the_person.title], have you ever thought about finding work in the public sector?"
    mc.name "I'm sure you could make a lot more money at, random example, a friendly pharmaceutical company."
    "She shakes her head, dismissing the idea."
    the_person "I don't do this for the money, I do it for the people."
    the_person "It's not glamourous, but I know that I'm making a difference and keeping people safe."
    mc.name "Surely there's something I could offer you to change your mind."
    "She smiles politely and shakes her head again."
    the_person "Sorry [the_person.mc_title], I'm not for sale."
    return

Is there a code that can be written to hire her?

This one is a little tricky - it's easy enough to overwrite that label and make her work for you, and to decouple her investigation events, but it wouldn't make sense if hiring away an investigator made the city just stop investigating you if your attention gets too high again; so you'd probably also need to come up with an entirely new character to replace her (probably a nameless/faceless man so we don't go down the rabbit hole of hiring replacement inspectors and replacement replacement inspectors) - that's quite a lot of writing (in the traditional sense and in the code sense).

Understood, I was just curious as there was the option in the list, I am more than happy to get her some tainted coffee and seduce her each time [using my Baby Maker serum].

She's a vanilla character so I suspect Vren added the option and then had a similar train of thought to mine and just added a dead-end label there as a placeholder until he's able to do a proper job of it.

Wait, Vren's gone MIA? I've not been keeping up with his Patreon for a while (supported him for a few years, but have a limited budget), and it's a crying shame if he's nowhere to be seen. Not just because I love his games, but because he's been a huge inspiration for me; The guy literally helped me discover two of my biggest fetishes (incest and impregnation/pregnancy) with his first game. And his documentation targeted towards code monkeys in his game's code helped me a LOT in learning how to program in Ren'py. I hope he's healthy :-/

Wonder where the modders will take things if he never shows up again (gods forbid).
