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.
Belle I'm noticing that there's a few things that are probably bugs with the NG+. It seems that despite having courage maxed, there's certain interactions that require you to actually go through the training courage with Thaddeus scene anyways such as some of the stuff to do with Callie. It might be intended game behavior for whatever reason, i dunno, but if it is, then it'd make more sense to lower the courage stat until you repeated the required scene with Thaddeus.
I also had a problem where I got 5/6 charisma points on my first playthrough, but then in NG+ i did everything I could with only 5/6 charisma because the last point never got added from whichever one I had missed. I was stuck one point short and thus couldn't get the scene that requires all six points.

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.
I'm only seeing that one invalid courage check, however. You use Callie's scene as an example, but it's the only such check I can find. Did you spot anything else?
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.
Technically, the missing charisma point was probably added in your game, but to a variable that is not used in NG+.
My head hurts! This charisma problem is turning really complicated because of all the factors I have to keep in mind. It's made even more challenging by some older saves not recording the source of charisma gain. This problem might not be possible to fix in such cases. Still hammering away at this in the hope that I can make a one-size-fits-all solution.

Thanks for working on this. I had to edit my save to get to the good end because of the missed charisma point.
Well not really a big deal, I do find it annoying that if you're skipping past stuff, it jumps back to the screen with the "Look at the town map" and "Return home" buttons rather than staying on the map.
I don't know if there's a way to fix where old saves didn't track where the charisma point came from (which i would think would have several other problems with stuff like the in-game walkthrough that was added), but as far as a fix going forward, I would think the easiest way would be to have each charisma point be a T/F flag and every time one is ticked to "true" then it could recalculate your total score with a basic sub function and save it.

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.
A better fix is incoming, but it's going to need more development time. I expect the map to behave better in 0.36.
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.
This might not be possible to fix at all for NG+ states initialized with old games that didn't max out charisma. This might be such an edge case that it's not worth dealing with. Still thinking about it.
Edit: The cutoff seems to be version 0.25. Any charisma gains made before that version will not have a properly set toggle, leading to problems.
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.
is there a way to hide/remove the day and time, im dislectic and using the ingame voice over, but i have to lissent to "day 1 monday morning" before every sentence?
I wasn't even aware that there is such a feature and never developed for it. I'll see if I can make the narrator stop reading that part of the window, though, at first glance, the Ren'py documentation doesn't mention that ability. It's on my list of things to fix, if I can.
Yes, Belle has been on top of this. And I appreciate her writing and story telling skills! Go to page one of the thread, and download the 3.5 walkthrough. Or go to her patreon or subscribestar page also on the links to support this artist / writer's work and get the latest release and commentary. At the end of her currently public release walkthrough, you are on your own with the many twists and puzzles for the best option in ending. On one of my comments, I provided proof of my "successful" end, at the point of the first relationship story ending. After the credits begin rolling, the reader/viewer investigator (you, the MC hero) if you keep reading and click the screen, will get a post departure intelligent interaction with your former mentor, who explains why and how he organized to assist you (as Hero) in your saving the realm and loved ones.
When working on complex problems, that allude you, step away, relax do something non stressful, sleep on it, your brain will work it out during rem. Old school coding: Look at your count, introduce another If then statement, ie.. If charisma => X go to line : ### then add +1 in field if field = # write line field (requirement or suggestion where the MC can obtain another charisma to be check summed to up the required charisma current total.
