Ren'Py Mind the School [v0.2.0C] [Su.IT]

[ColonelWanker]

The shopping quests starts automatically when teaching PE and the Running Sub event comes up. The shopping event then happens in the same evening.
Did you queue the Rule in the Journal for voting?

There's no option in the Journal to queue the rule. I keep teaching PE but nothing happens.

I have a question, is this file called loli filter some kind of censorship?

It is a leftover, from when the game had a loli patch enabling loli content. I put that content on hold two version ago in 0.1.3. The infrastructure for that is still in game, just without content. That filter file had the job to filter out certain variants from the replay gallery selection if that value was not supposed to be shown since it would have required the patch to be active.

So the rule is not listed in the journal? In that case you still need to discover that rule by observing Adelaide being overworked in the cafeteria three times.
There is a 50% chance of the running sub event coming up when teaching pe as long as theAonas Bra Event chain has not been started, you have at least 200$ and had the introduction round in the school building with the students.

I have seen that event 3 times, the quest line currently says "Get the PTA to vote for the introduction of jobs for the students" But when I go to rules there's no option for school jobs. The Aona Bra event chain currently says "Drive Aona to the shop" but I can't activate that no matter how many times I teach PE.

Starting a new save seems to have fixed my issue.

Yeah that sounds reasonable. I was experimenting with the current system, but I'm looking to change it more in the direction you mentioned.



That is actually something I already considered. Currently the inhibition stat should be capped according to the schools level. So you need to progress the school to the next level to continue improving the inhibition stat. On the other hand the level progression will be locked behind certain rules and other criteria. I'm also looking for modifier, managing the rates of stat progression throughout the game. And I guess, when I figured out how to have the voting system best integrated some of these problems should fix themselves.

But thanks for your input

it would be nice if it wasn't such a grindfest to lower or raise stat numbers.. i've been doing everything and still inhibition stayed at 90, i only just now got it down to 84.98.. but it took way too many days to get there, the bigger problem is when i'm focused on raising happiness, charm, and corruption, i lose reputation. but if i work on reputation i lose on the other stats... it's annoying.

....It's been over a year. Little progress in terms of content from when it came out.

I played for a bit and it was just the same thing over and over with intermittent exception errors.
Decided to extract and just look through the pics.
There is close to 6,000 images but its all duplicates with slight variations of clothing and only what seems like 2 sex scenes.
A whole slew of numbers in the top right hand part of the screen that I have no idea what they mean.
Its like someone decided to make their first cake but wanted to make it with 30 layers.
Too much shit just drains all the fun out of it.

Do you have examples for the exeption errors. I'd like to fix them, but if nobody tells me about these exceptions, I can't fix them and they will just stay in the game. So I'd love it if everybody would actually be helpful and inform me about the exceptions instead of just complaining about them.

About the many image variants. Do you have an idea, how I can have the school transition through eleven stages, all with increasingly slutty uniforms without actually making the images for those levels? Also due to the way I create the scenes and images, about 1% of the time goes into rendering those image variants. So any worry about me wasting time with those variants instead of making more events is unfounded.

And the numbers in the top right are stats and are clickable, as you were informed of in the tutorial. By clicking on the numbers, you get redirected to the corresponding page in the journal roughly explaining what the different stats mean.

Thank you for playing.

....It's been over a year. Little progress in terms of content from when it came out.

Except for over 100 events that were added since the release, together with several large additions like the quest system, the modding framework, character overview and all the stuff in the background you don't see. I still work a 9to5 job and work on this game in my free time. Do you think any of the successful games out there would throw out that much stuff if they were working on it all alone with the little time i have? Writing the texts, programming the game and making the images all after they come home in the evening from work? Be lucky you get updates every 3 months. Many other games in this genre bring out one update every year, and most of that is just as quickly played as the ones here and they have a team working on them.
Sorry if I ranted a bit, but messages like yours are the best way to either have a developer quit a game or have a developer abandon the platform. So be a bit more responsible.

Ashford was a one man show. He showed far more progress than you had in the same timeframe, without a patreon. I followed it till its end, I'm watching you. You have a 9-5, and are recieving significant continuous Patreon funding. You are in a better financial position than he was, for worse results. The events have little, and achieve little-there's nothing to get to. The quests are based on a bad idea-tying real progress(Rules) to the RNG system of the events, so you have no idea what's required-the help wasn't helpful. I had no idea that dealing with sex education would require to do random naughtiness with your secretary. There's no relation.

The matter's depressing.

Well Ashford also used hentai images from the internet. Creating the images takes about 70% of my time, so of course Ashford has more progress contentwise. And the amount of events is also quite sparse. I looked into it's code, and checked the events in there. About 80% of the events were just a one liner with a single image. And considering the image wasn't even made by him. Don't understand me wrong, I really liked Ashford, bnut I don't think our games are comparable in the work needed to content ratio. Also yeah I get some money from patreon, which I'm really grateful for, but it isn't something I would call significant, considering it is just enough to buy me cheap food for one week. And Asford wasn't working 9to5? So he wasn't gone for 10h a day, everyday and then had to work on the game after already working for 8h?
You know, that funding is rather unimportant when working on a project all alone? Time is a much more important factor.

Also sure some unlockables have no relation contentwise. But the naughty secretary event is only needed for the sex education, to ensure correct progression for the different values that are running in the back of the game. The naughty secretary event progresses her level in preparation for the schools transition to level 2. If I wouldn't do that, I would have to create 4 times the amount of images just for the different uniform variants. So there IS a reason, just because you don't see it, it doesn't mean there is no. Additionally all unlockables are set in consideration for the future. So the way they are unlocked are planned to make more sense when the game has much more progress. When every unlockable possible is implemented, it is stupid to have every step you make unlock everything. So the grind needed to unlock something is only there because of the low density of unlockable features. Something that will gradually change with time. But if I make all the unlockables so that they are more easy to get at the beginning of the development, then I have much more work later to readjust everything. A process that is very prone to errors.

Honestly, i think the current baseline is pretty good, and i do love this style of games, but I think it would probably be better to focus on fleshing out more unique events for each level, rather then mostly empty content that just reuses the exact same events, least some dialog changes. that being said, what IS there is good, just needs some more content for each level and some different dialog in the higher events.

That being said, just reporting some bugs ive encountered.
1. the replay function is just kinda... borked. whenever a choice pops but it just sends you back to the school screen.
2. one of the events in the dorms dont work properly, just gets an error of something along the lines of 'image step 5 out of range! (min:0 max 4)

Project looks good, looking forwards to how it turns out!

Thanks for your feedback I'm with you on that part. These events mostly get their variants just because they quite low effort when the event is already made and the higher level variants are mostly to not lose them when you progress in levels. But yeah more unique events is what I'm focusing on more in the future.

As for the bugs, again thanks for your feedback
For the replay bug I'll look into it. Do you have a specific example?
The other bug is already known. It is the one with easkey struggling with her homework. I already fixed that bug, but was waiting for more bugs before pushing out a patch

Seems like every one just doesnt work, havent exactly tried every one, but every one i HAVE tried just kicks me back to the map, and even the ones that dont have a choice, the event doesnt properly show up, just shows the map screen.

Now, i could just have a borked download, and can redownload if you would like to check, but p big issue if it is a bug.

seems like the same error as the range error, least for some. since the level 1 ones like the first potion event seems to work.

 

[yolomage]

Just found a new one, tho not entirely surprising since reaching the fringes of what is there, lvl 6, girls changing in the classrooms dont have an image with the "out of range" error.

If it isn't too much of a hassle, I would appreciate that. Did you use a new save game or an older one from the older versions?

Oh thanks for that one, just checked and I just forgot to put a level limiter for that event. That one is only supposed to be seen until level 5.

EDIT: Okay I figured out the problem with the replay events. It actually was a bit of a bigger issue, that came with a few changes in the gallery system. I fixed that problem, and it will then work in the coming patch. I'll push out a Bugfix patch in the coming days.

 

[Pimer666]

i get this error when i try to peek at a student, also i unlocked sex education but i cant find it, is it not in the game yet??
