Am I missing something?
Why bother with UnRen at all? Simply open the .rpa and modify the line 47473 (remove the last bracket ")" ) .
[EDIT:] Ok, an implementet header-check prohibits simple changes in the .rpa :/
Are there copy-protection reasons for this, or something else?

Data integrity protection I would guess, without having read the renpy source - that way, if for some reason some of your rpa files get corrupted, the game will fail safely.

So it's not a bug you say? But why to write Tom and postpone the date before? I think it's a bug.
Ok, might be a reason. But protecting a simple game-script without direct disk or memory interactions, it seem to be a litte over the top for me. I wonder if the programmer even thought about this reason - or if it is mere a standard feature in the developement kit or something.

The dialogue with Lei felt a little unearned but I'm glad it happened. Like other characters, there's some depth hidden behind that stereotypical facade. Hopefully in the future her behavior will shift between those public and intimate personas.

Oh, to be clear: This would be part of the engine and apply to all .rpa archives, not something redlolly went out of their way to do. Actually, let me check...
Code:
Full traceback:
File "renpy/bootstrap.py", line 326, in bootstrap
renpy.main.main()
File "renpy/main.py", line 382, in main
renpy.loader.index_archives()
File "renpy/loader.py", line 244, in index_archives
index = handler.read_index(f)
File "renpy/loader.py", line 129, in read_index
index = loads(zlib.decompress(infile.read()))
error: Error -3 while decompressing data: incorrect header check

.rpa files are just a compressed package to reduce filesize. It's a standard Renpy feature, devs can choose to use it when building the final compilation prior to release. One of its "side advantages" is that regular users can't dig in the code and break it either intentionally or unintentionally, that's why we need unRen to extract script and pic files within the .rpa
Thanks for the explaination, moskyx, and thanks for looking it up, Kagarus!
So, to sum it up: RedLolly did not activate it, though it is an option for RenPy. But a (de-)compression-library used it, maybe even unintentional by RedLolly.
moskyx: Interesting compression and packaging, I must say. All the texts and scripts are uncompressed (maybe optional), but music(?) or other things may be archiched into it. That is the reason for some font-"garbage"-blocks inbetween the script.
Thanks for teaching me and please do correct me if I got something wrong.

Actually you can choose what files and folders include in the compression. Most devs just throw their pics and videos into it but it's not unusual to find games with just a big "archive.rpa" file that becomes several folders and scripts after decompiling it with unRen. Once unpacked, Ren'Py will run the decompiled rpyc scripts and not the ones within the .rpa file. That way you can edit the rpy files you get after using unRen, launch the game (in this process Ren'Py will parse/update the rpyc files with the changes introduced to its correspondant rpy files) and Ren'Py will run the game thanks to those updated rpyc files.

Just finished 0.4, so caught up with the Dev here.
Really enjoying this game, thank you so much for what has been released so far, and totally looking forward for more.

It felt.. extremely weird for me. She was just trying to kick MC out of the party and a moment later she's all like "so now that we're best buds you wanna know my deepest darkest secret?", just a complete 180 out of nowhere. That is.. either some tremendously terrible writing or Lei was simply fishing for dirt on MC. But even then this whole scene feels.. just completely out of place. Couldn't Lei try to be a bit more subtle or smth? >.>

C5 first sneak peek
Hi guys!
The first preview of chapter five: a new background. It was time to incorporate a restaurant into the world of LC, and this one does not seem cheap. It seems the typical one where Charles would enjoy a good dinner, and rarely alone.
What do you think? Do you think it can be a good place for hot things to happen?
PS: By the way, we are working on a fix for the c4 bugs, thanks to all of you who have communicated them so that we can find them. Once updated we will upload it here on patreon and in Itchio. Thank you!
See u soon! ❤
This game is really good, the story is well written, I feel like I really am the character, I can't wait for the updates.
Okay four chapters is enough to say that I like this game. Storytelling is nothing groundbreaking, but it is competent and interesting enough. Yeah, characters are archetypes, but, well, archetypes are archetypes for a reason. I especially like flirting with Moore scenes, because teacher-student relation are always hot and he is not a typical old creep who pervs on his students. I wonder how long it will take Alcie to break his resistance. And drawings are awesome.
I agree that Lei behavior during the party is weird. Maybe she want to befriend Alcie to stab her in the back, but I think she would be more sophisticated.
