I would say that is because it is NOT a VN... it is intended to be a GAME. RenPy would be too limited.
1920x1080 Windows 64bitThat one's weird. What resolution / OS are you on.
And yes, in retrospect, maybe doing this first on PC only would have been smarter

I got stuck at the end of the Minautor fight, during the dialogue.
First, when Emily talked, I had to click on the left white part of the dialogue to advance, and when the MC talks, I just can't click on anything.
Playing level 2 difficulty (just below the default one), 1920x1080 windowed.

Tried it again, got the game freeze on third try... if I select what appears* to be the choice that she looks cute I want to see her again, instead of the blank space below the text, THAT is when the game freezes. Did not cause a Kernel Panic this time, but I had less things open. also this is not the first Kernel panic I have had since the last OS update yesterday... Game appears to be totally unresponsive, had to close it.
*Choice does not highlight like in previous dialogs...

Playing version 0.1.17. There is definitely a mix-up between Intelligence and Strength stats. I don't know the rules of poker so aside from pairs, 3 of a kind and 4 of a kind I don't know how scoring works in the battle game - I'm guessing being able to see the opponents cards is supposed to help too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I suspect because I am playing the latest build was the reason the Emily date in the Paths passed me by as it was due to happen on the same day it was arranged (and it didn't). Also do you have to buy coffee to read?
I really like the game so far and am looking forward to future versions - although I have a sneaking suspicion it might be marketed by Edinburgh tourist board. I'm expecting tartan, shortbread and Edinburgh Castle Rock to all make an appearance at some point.

Among bugs :
Saving in a middle of a conversation breaks the game. I saved during the first conversation with "Chloe" when choosing for the first attribute boost and when loading back, the conversation was done and no way to restart it. No attribute boost either.

Try to close the game, open it and then load that save. Rewinding has been intermittently broken for a long time as has loading while in the middle of a scene. I haven't encountered softlocks just from saving unless the scene itself is broken, although this could be new.

I was brought up in Edinburgh. I stopped playing it. It was very annoying and totally inaccurate. Dont use a real place.

Droid's been there, too. What was annoying about it, what was inaccurate, and what would you change?
I actually enjoy using a real place; gives me inspiration. It's not the real world (and even to the extent that it's based on our world, there are conscious changes, some of which you find from the books). If there's anything I'm clearly getting wrong on the city, though, please do let me know, and I'll see what I can do to fix it.
Kernel panic is a new one.
OSX saves should be in
~/Library/Application Support/Droid Productions/Love of Magic
I'm trying to fix some of the other issues raised first (mostly spelling issues, low-hanging fruit). Will try to build in the next 4-5 hrs, then upload.
If you see that happening again, could you get me a screenshot? That seems wrong
It's likely caused by an issue in the progressive printer. You can disable it in settings, but I'll see if I can repro and fix it
Yeah; the label's reversed in the UI. Fixed
That one is weird as ... never seen it before. I'll continue tracking it.
After thinking about it, I've stripped the gym down and simplified it. It was inspired by the Persona 4 training system, where various things could affect your training speed. Ditched, and now it's just a "every second time, you grow", similar to the CHR chat training mechanic in the Coffee Shop.
Coffeeshop is indeed the only place you can read; I know it's an artificial issue, but I'm trying to balance the fact that books (that cost resources up front / to read) have a reward every time + a balloon reward at the end, while free training only rewards you every second time. I agree about the UX of ordering coffee; added a straight black option that skips the barrista bullshit.
You're not supposed to get that in the evening; I think some kind of progression funnel broke. I'll see what's happening. It should be:
1. Go to Katie, learn about Elsewhere
2. Go to Chloe, learn about the portal
3. Next time you meet Dylan at the university in the morning, he starts the Enter Elsewhere cycle
Something appears to have broken that... will see if I cna repro
Weirdness. I've got your log, will see if I can find a way to reproduce and fix that
Fixed. Added an explicit button for it.
10) The item window is in front of the "Resume" button, covering half of it.
Yeah, that's been a PITA
Balancing player tutorial vs enemy strength is hard. It's why I cheat in the Minotaur fight... even if you do nothing but discard, you'll still can't die Yeah, I could probably have her mock you even more at that point
Thanks, will roll out the fixes once I'm done with the other stuff!
Renpy's a great engine, but like everything it has it's strengths and weaknesses. I noticed you're a 4 Elements Trainer fan; that's actually a great example of a game that's pushing RenPy's boundaries, and getting occasional rope-burns in return. In the end, you've got to pick the right tool for the task, and to me I felt Unity was the right tool for this specific task. It does come with complications; Renpy's got a great save/unroll/reroll system built in, and duplicating that is not trivial; one thing I did as a result was auto-save before each conversation (because saving IN a conversation has a good chance of breaking systems), and providing a limited rollback like that.
