As a man with graduate degrees, and engineering and business mgt experience (retired) I compare the costs of patreon, which I was paying as much as $120/month to support artists. I also actively write, translate languages and edit for developers (at no pay other than recognition. I would rather pay a one time cost of up to 70 US than pay for some that do not progress, and abandon their work, I realize times are difficult. I now refuse to use Patreon, but I can consider a subsistence contribution to subscribe star for YOU. But I would prefer a discord or electronic transfer one time, than a recurring debt. You can remove part of this as I do not wish to influence fans to your detriment. While a confusing puzzle, I find your story funny, and at times rewarding for all the effort I have to go through, especially when I do not use your walk through and get lost. Balance perhaps with the aid is best. I believe my yahoo mail is reachable via here, or if you have faith in my sincerity by checking my history, I will give a pmt as indicated above. I suggest you set things up discretely since some of the fans maybe crackers or hackers. Me just a retired Electronics engineer and asst design engineer.
Thanks for the offer, but I don't accept donations anywhere other than through Patreon and SubscribeStar. Why not subscribe and immediately unsubscribe instead? You should keep your benefits for that entire period.
Yeah, it's what I do too. Subscribe for just a month or a couple of months per year. Though my reasons are just straight poverty lmao. I am in no position for a recurring donation but I can do the occasional bump. Just subscribe for a month here and there.
That's basically what the game got in version 0.35.
Hmm, it appears that you need 4 courage to initiate Callie's full sex scenes. These things are incredibly difficult to find, so thanks for pointing it out. I have fixed it in the code now, but I don't really see a need for a hotfix right now. As you point out, you can still go through courage training as if it was NG to get around it anyway.
This one looks a little trickier. Judging from a quick glance at the code, I might have made a mistake here that only those who don't max out charisma on their first run will bump into, making it impossible for them to get the maximum. I think the best solution is to change how I calculate charisma in the future. This might be worth a hotfix. I'm going to look into it some more. Thanks.
Thanks for working on this. I had to edit my save to get to the good end because of the missed charisma point.
It's important to report such bugs when you find them. Don't just assume that I already know.
I wasn't sure if it was a bug or if the point was just in some spot I missed. But I will remember to report anyway in the future.
This was a quick fix in 0.35 to a change in Ren'py behavior. I had to make it drop back to the menu when skipping because otherwise, you might get stuck on the map screen even when moving to different locations. Right now, it's annoying. Before I made that fix, it was broken.
Those toggles have been in place for a while and are how I'm calculating the stat now (in the fix I'm working on). The problem is that older saves don't have these toggles, or might have used just a few of them depending on the game state when they were introduced.
If you were in NG, it wasn't a bug. If you were in NG+ and didn't have max charisma when you ended your first game, you probably encountered the bug.
A patch that could be implemented specifically for those older saves could be a quick questionnaire for people who have those older saves. If the NG+ detects a charisma score that doesn't match up with the saved toggles, then you could just ask players to answer some questions about their game to set the toggles manually. Throw in some "Opps, it seems there's a problem with your saved game data, so just a quick couple of questions and we can sort out this mess!" sort of thing.
