Maybe. I originally removed them, because I just don't have the capacity to work on them at the moment. But in the future I could potentially bring them back. Maybe even as a mod, because of some rules concerning loli content.
Great thx ^^

Edit 3: a wall of text was originally here. these concerns have been addressed by the developer and thus have no reason to stay here as a pillar of words and monument to long winded rants. move along. nothing to see here.

the quest system could use improvement. specifically the hint system. or near lack of it. I am currently on step 10 of the yoga outfit mission. now that I have the outfits ordered I can finally give them to the students. except as far as I can tell either I can't. or I can't find the trigger.

I have spent several in game weeks and at least 20 minutes clicking through every event I can find to try and give them the outfits and have no idea why it's not working.

do I give them the outfits at the dorms by peeping or looking around? the office? the classrooms by teaching or patrolling? the gym? do I check the students, teach the students, enter the locker room, or patrol the gym to give them the outfits? surely it isn't the kiosk right?

because no matter where I go or what event I trigger trying to find it I cannot give them the outfits, and the quest system doesn't even tell me what building I need to be in much less what time slot. and all of the quests in this update have been this obtuse. I don't want the game to hold my hand and tell me exactly where to go to do everything. but for as something as vague as "give them the new outfits" we could at least have the building OR a time slot narrowed down. because I genuinely don't know if I should be trying to give it to them at the office, the dorms, the gym, or the classrooms. and that's before you take into account maybe time slot sensitive event triggers.

not every step in every quest will need to be so clear. the step to check on the yoga teacher was fine because she could only be in the gym. just gotta trigger the event. not hard to find or even stumble upon. but any event that could be anywhere at any time could lead to frustration. as exemplified by rantings here.

I like the game and I look forward to where it leads. but me having nothing left to do in the game but complete this quest chain and being unable to tell if the quest is broken or i'm just clicking all over the wrong places for the last near half hour is brutual.
thank you for time.

edit: apparently not broken. apparently it triggered for me when doing the "check" event. which should have been obvious as that was where the previous 2 events triggered. but some some reason it took me almost 30 minutes irl of spamming that button and every other before it properly triggered for me. so don't know why that happened but hey. at least my game isn't broken.

though the next problem is that I picked outfit 3 for the girls and the game gave them outfit 2. which was confusing because in the outfit selection screen the numbers under the girls doesn't correspond to the choices they want. outfit 2 selection text is under the girl who wants outfit 3. outfit 3 selection text is under the girl who wants outfit 2. I originally picked 2 for the girl I want but that made girl 3 excited because girl 3 was the second outfit they tried in the story. then I rolled it back and picked outfit 3 under the girl who wanted outfit 2. because selecting outfit 3 made the girl with outfit 2 text happy. except when picking the girl with outfit 3 text, playing to the end of the quest gives you outfit 2. because thats what she wanted even though her text said outfit 3 and the story showed outfit 3 girl getting excited. so I rolled back and checked. selecting outfit 3 girl with outfit 2 text makes outfit 2 girl happy, but eventually gives you outfit 3 when you complete the story. the text and the triggers on these two are backwards. which I think is what is causing my problem in edit 2.

edit 2: now when i try to check on the yoga class the game breaks and throws error codes until the event ends and lets me head elsewhere. so I can't even tell if the outfits were just wrong for the story event and the clickable event is supposed to be correct or not because now the whole event is bugged. I also can't seem to screenshot the error codes because renpy pops them up in little windows in the left corner and nothing I do seems to let me screenshot those. do you want my save to try and diagnose it for your self or you think you can find it on your own? because i'm assuming the chain is bugged somehow by outfit 2 and 3 girl having their events and outcomes swapped if I had to guess.
Thanks for playing the game and for your extensive feedback!

Yes the quest system could be improved. As stated in the changelog, the quest system will be reworked in the next major update.

The yoga outfits will be distributed to the students in the gym when checking on PE. After that happened, there is a chance for a quick peep on a yoga class when checking on PE again with the new outfits. (repeatable event)

I will check why the wrong outfits are displayed.

Can you maybe provide the error log, when the error appears? It would help me find the issue.

I can't the error doesn't do the gray screen that lets you copy the BBcode. when the event breaks you're stuck in the aerial view of the campus, you click a few times as if going through a dialogue tree, then it spits you out without seeing anything. then like 3 black boxes get overlaid in the top left corner full of error codes and disappear after a few seconds. nothing I have attempted to do will let me screenshot those boxes.

when the event triggers it shows the campus and red letters saying across the top left of the screen saying
Image 'Step 0 is out of range! (Min: 0, Max: -1))' not found.
when you click it says
Image 'Step 1 is out of range! (Min: 0, Max: -1))' not found.
click again
Image 'Step 2 is out of range! (Min: 0, Max: -1))' not found.
click again and you get white dialogue box of the MC thinking (...)
Click a few more times now black boxes pop up in the left corner. starting with Step 0 is out of range. then Step 1 is out of Range. then Step 2 is out of range. this is while the red letters saying step 2 is out of range are still stuck across the top left of the screen.
and all of the black boxes are the same boxes that are used when you gain or lose points in your stats like reputation, money, corruption etc. so for some reason your error codes in this case are hijacking you stat display feeds.

I tried to link you a save so you can see it yourself but the saves are eating up tons of memory. my first 1-1 save in the game eats 37kb. my last 4 saves are over 20,000kb. this save is 23,111 kb. no clue why but it's too large to let me link it here in the forum. might just clear all my data and start from scratch to see if that is a me problem though.

Ahh okay, that already helps immensely. Thank you! I'll fix it over the weekend!

Those errors using the same notification boxes as the stat changes is deliberate. It helps me and the players to find missing images. Missing images are the only types of errors that end up there, and sometimes when images are missing, it is nearly impossible to see when playtesting. So I put them in the normal notifications when any images are missing, some and the players can directly see these errors and report them.

Excellent. because the only other thing I see to fix is the outfit confusion. and let me condense the words from the first.

If you select the middle with outfit 2 [text], the right gets excited because she is wearing outfit 2. but when you finish it gives you outfit 3 because it's under the girl wearing outfit 3. same the other way. select outfit 3 [text] under the right, the middle gets excited because she is wearing outfit 3. but when you finish it gives you outfit 2 as it's under outfit 2 girl. the triggers are weird. I didn't test if 1 gives you 1 but I assume so as 2 and 3 appear directly swapped so no room for error there.

Yeah I'll check that out as well. While developing that, I got myself a bit confused with the outfit numbers.
