Please make up your mind if you want it to be incest or not before writing a story.

If Rose is MC's mom, why is she so open to being sexual with him from the beginning? This kinda thing makes sense if she is really a roommate or a landlady that he is staying with during his schooling.

If Rose is not his mom, then why does she want to meet his gf's mom? Why does she say, "I didn't know I have raised a rude boy?" Why does she say she will be a grandmother if MC gets a kid?

If Rose is his older sister that acted as his guardian since a young age, then maybe some of it can make sense. But we don't get any background on their relationships so it's all up in the air. It's really annoying when devs don't even think about writing a coherent story just so they can shoehorn potential incest that doesn't even really make sense. You don't HAVE to have incest in a VN, you know?


Also, I think you should learn a bit more about some basics in coding for renpy. You don't seem to use any variables or flags. The entire thing only progresses based on labels. Like you pick a choice and it does a "jump ____" command. That will break down really fuckin fast as you progress farther. You can't keep track of any event that happened in the past unless you pretty much stay route locked in a linear chain of events. I do think route locking is much easier to manage for the dev, but it doesn't hurt to use some variables and flags you know? It's really basic stuff such as setting nolikeit == true, and then using if-else clauses to give different dialogues or events.

For a more specific example of how your coding already runs into problems.

The game cannot tell if you picked "Go to college" or "Go home." If you go to college, you catch the gf smoking a cig and then talk to the teacher about having bad dreams. If you go home, you meet gf's mom and find out she was home when you had sexy times with her daughter. Then you talk to Rose and have some conversations.

In both cases, the game then does a "jump dryy" command. At this point, the game has absolutely no way to knowing which of the two paths you took to get here. If you later write some dialogues about the gf's smoking problems, or about meeting her mom at home, you will run into continuity errors if the player took a different route.

Hmmm... if you choose the "five more minutes" option the game still ends in the exact same place as the last update after the park bit and you don't get to the next day at all (I started a new save as I was confused if the new bits were supposed to be during that first day)... only if you end up at Arrianna's place for the night do you then get the next day and can choose to go to the college or go home, etc.

Thanks for telling me, I will solve it as soon as I can

Does anyone know how to solve this?
Do you have the missing file?
I already answered you in the Discord, but I will still answer you here because I don't want to create a bad image that I don't answer people who need help with something in the game, so I will answer you here telling you that I already answered you in the Discord:BootyTime:

Since I made this public on my patreon, I'm going to share it here, since I know some people don't see it

Hi guys! It's been a while but I come with good news. I'll start with the good news as I assume that's what most of you are interested in:

I already have the PC, it works (under my standards) perfectly... The program opens super fast and in general it is very fast, I have been testing it and I can work very comfortably here, on the previous pc the editing program opened in 30 or 20 minutes approximately, and now it takes less than 1 minute or 1 minute at the most... It's a huge leap and I'm very happy about it, I'm already working on the next update, in fact

Now the bad ones news... I told you I would have this PC in a month or so, why do I have it now? Well... The PC was sold to me by a friend, and somehow I made him give it to me and I will pay him later with what I generate in Patreon, so I still need to reach 50 or at least have it to be able to pay it (well, actually 100 but I can pay him in two months) so I try to work hard so that by August we reach that figure, because if not I don't know what I will do... There are two people who donated me a certain amount recently where I reached 50 approximately, but they unsubscribed before now, the end of the month... And it turns out that for that money to reach you, you have to activate a certain option in Patreon, something I didn't know... So that 50 never came and never will come to me. I hope they got their money back, at least. I had to tell my friend to wait longer because of this, because I assumed that I would get the 50, but no... Even so, this month I got 22, with the support of those people who were there from the beginning, and that helps me a lot, I still need to pay for the cpu, but I really thank all those who were always there, because otherwise I would not know what to do... I mean, even now I don't know what to do, but I would be worse

That's all the communication, when I found out that those 50 were not going to arrive, my heart almost stopped, I was counting on them, but now I don't know what to do, and I just wanted to let you know, because I always tried to be sincere with you. I will be working on the next update these days, here is a "Poster" I made for a guy who had told me he was going to put it in his game but in the end he didn't, but I really liked how it turned out:

I didn't see that message, but I'll answer it here... I was referring (in the part marked in yellow) that I didn't want to make the sex scenes happen just like that, without reason (in the game) since I saw some games where it happened like that and I didn't like it, I was going to try to give, at least in most situations, a reason for each thing to happen. Besides, in response to what you say... No, the vanilla route will be the real route, but that doesn't mean that everything that happens with other characters is worthless... So far I have planned that you can be paired with another person that is not the main LI, but any route that is not the vanilla route (that is, that you don't end up with the main LI) will be a "what if", you know? Anyway any route you choose you can take as the true one since I don't plan to make a continuation of this story when I'm done with it

Thats because the game is new and thats the planned content, there will be sharing/netorase routes and a netorare route in the future from what the dev showed so far i think.
1 year is not "new". Also, he can edit the OP and add planned tags in the genres. No need to confuse everyone with misleading tags.

Well... I understand that you speak in front of something you don't really know because I didn't leave a record of it, but the game is 1 year old because another version made with real porn was posted here before this. In fact those tags are according to the content of that version. When I released this new version (remake) I left the old version there, but.... After a while I deleted it. And, to be honest, I forgot to modify the tags, because the deletion of the previous version was something I did quickly and without thinking, and I left it like that. This new version... It takes something like 3 months or so

I am totally dissatisfied with the previous version, for the irresponsibility with which I made it. It was with real porn, and the images that appeared were simple images that I searched on google. I would type in "girl with black hair" and take the one that popped up first. Then someone supposedly discovered the instagram of that girl and it took me that to realize what I did, so I abandoned that version and decided to delete it completely. In a way I try to re-do the things that happen there onto in this remake. But, for my part I will not share that version again. Talking about the new version... I released it on Patreon, and after 8 days it will be published for public :D

Ah, you did one of those games where you used real girls pictures for the scenes, I see lol. Those more often than not tend to not be good, hard to find images that feel exactly what you want to portray. I like the game as it is currently so ill just wait for next update then.
