There is a bug. When I try to get the second maid. And it wont let me leave
Yeah, you have to use the mouse or touch screen controls to interact there. There's not enough room on the map for the game to function normally.
Which is the joke.

Ah, shame. Would be cool if there actually *was* a Ren'py version. Yes, I did get to the end of this. Top bantz, I'm sure.

Happy April Fools!
I just want you to know that if you're a renpy elitist and you're big mad right now - this was made for you. I hope you like it. <3

Can't believe today is april fools and I am playing this today. 4/1/2025.
What a crazy random happenstance.

haha please keep the rpgm version running :)
Don't worry, I will.
I say this at the end of this game, but I have no intention of making a full renpy port.

I don't think getting into the "why" of that will placate anyone that wants placating, but here's the short version:
I wanted to make an RPG, so I used RPGM.
When I want to make a visual novel, I'll use renpy.

I don't need to use a screwdriver to bash a nail into place just because it's technically possible.
This only exists because I wanted to make an April Fool's Day joke, and people keep asking for a renpy version.

If the Dev have time to do a joke like this one then he have time to make a proper Renpy portage... :cautious:
I don't really want to single you out, but I do want to address this general sentiment for anyone who has it.

Most visual novels take years to complete. Especially those that try to push forward quality standards - go ahead and count the months between releases for your favorite AVN if you don't believe me. I bet it averages 3 or 4.
Similarly, the real game has taken years to get near completion.
Not only is this incorrect, it tells me you have zero appreciation for the work that goes into making games.
It also tells me you didn't actually play this, because if you'd seen the amount of clipping, placeholder assets, and incomplete or default sets in the game, I doubt you'd be so anxious to see more.

If anything, you should be telling me I shouldn't put this much effort into memeing on the haters.
Unless you really want me to put more effort into memeing on the haters.
