VN Ren'Py Move the Chains [v0.2 Bugfix] [MissFortune]

[Zoomaa]

This game is amazing but sometimes it loses me when it comes to real-life references and sports culture even with the help of the ingame dictionary. the writing style could potentially alienate the players because it focuses heavily on and just assumes you already know everything they are talking about, this criticism comes from someone who grew up watching movies and TV shows from the US .

MissFortunehave a question regarding yuna....if chose not right now does it mean i close her path?

the tru i didnt liked the character at all i dont like being with toxic ppl and the part that she takes the fucking drugs,and he si ranting at the end of the emily scene about being againts it ,but not doing nothing about yuna ,show that he have a double standarts,.
the scene with emuly and his dealer,are you kidding me ,he pull you a gun in the middle of the street onplain midday and you ....what? trase him?
look i dont know but he need it to react lot diferent if the guys is who we thing is it,so police or you just kick his ass in that right moment,even for texas noneones pull a gun on you and he just go away like is nothing ,man thatwas not nice at all,......too much movie on that one,and all this after you fucking run after a thif who pull the same move at you and you just kick his ass without thinking......nah nah need to redo that or give some choices to that scene,....

It looks like the "not right now" choice keeps the path open for now. About the Emily/Yuna drug stuff. As far as we can tell, Yuna only smokes weed, which is safe and legal. Emily smokes crack, which is neither safe, nor legal, and usually ruins the lives of the addict, and anyone close to them. As for Dwight, MC has known him for a long time, so I'm sure his judgement is spot on about him. He was very confident Dwight was all talk, and wouldn't actually do anything there.

I'd like an option to turn off Quick Menu (even if it's just small icons).
Great games BTW. Thank you so much!

I didn't like the placement of the quick menu, too central. Wouldn't mind it if it were tucked in a corner. My solution was to use URM to change, and freeze, the "hide_qm" variable to true. Keeps it hidden that way.

I've never had any interest in playing, or watching, any sport, but I still enjoy the game. I mostly just tune out the sports jargon that I don't understand. Football is central to the plot, but all you need to know about it is that MC is extremely good at it. The majority of the characters have nothing to do with football, so I enjoy their stories.

I don't see the romance tag. How does the relationship with love interests develop? I ask because the romance tag is one of the most important for me in this type of story. What's the point of having a whole entourage of women at your disposal if they don't love you and you love them back?

 

[Jacowboy]

I'll see what I can do about that.

Thanks!

Also, you have a style already for icons, why not use the same style for the menu? It'd look better, since your icons are better and cleaner... also, I'd move it somewhere less intrussive, but with sleeker icons, that would help quite a bit (use yellow too).

Oh, and no offense, but you should get an editor... the dialogues have a lot of issues. I'm guessing you're not a native english speaker, am I right? There's a lot of lines that don't sound quite right, like not the way people speak... it'd be a good idea to have a native speaker do a pass to make it sound more natural.

 

[GoldenEyeDrake]

I'm not sure if you're talking about something else (might have to explain in more detail, feel free to PM me and we can see what the issue is.). Assuming you're coming from S01E01, then you'll need to start over as there was a significant overhaul of a few elements, and I figured it was better to do it earlier than later.

Yes, I'm coming over from Season 1 after the Rebecca catches us in the pool with Yuna. I didn't know I had to start the story over again.

I am a native English speaker. Just haven't had the time to sit down and do a hard/serious editing session beyond typos (which I'm sure still exist). I've got a long list from DuckDairyDip (I think his name was?) and I'll be going over Episode 2 as I'm doing that.

Still at Episode 1 and already way too overcrowded. Also no on from the "hood" actually talks like that. the dialogue is terrible and throwing around N Bombs every few seconds isnt a flex either.

The Game itself seems very promising tho. I like the premise and setting of the Story

 

[ART2024]

I'm no expert, and that log looks basically the same as mine(which is running fine), but it looks like it's using your built-in Intel graphics chip to render. You said you've got an NVIDIA chip, so maybe forcing the game to use that instead might work. Should be able to open the NVIDIA control panel, and add "Run with graphics processor" to the context(right-click) menu. Then try running the game by right-clicking the executable, and choosing that option.

If that doesn't work, someone with more expertise than me will have to help you.

Hmmmm.... Har 2 graphcards... When i turned off intel, my resolution is only 1080x..... When i turn it on, in NVIDIA cintrol panel, showing that intel is taking care of the screen... Dont fucking know how to switch it....
Downloaded a new version again, every animation is working great, input your name, game shuts of even if i dont do shit....
1st time in my life i have seen something like this...
I play all kind of games without any trouble....

 

[ART2024]

My game is always closing. I can't save i can't do nothing. Any solution?

FINALLY, i have the same problem, cant do shit

 

[ART2024]

Hi MissFortune

Wanted to try your game... Well, i experienced this...
Every animation, render is working fine when I start the game. Came to "input your name" and before i even can do anything, tried typing, just pressed return or just waiting or even tried saving, the game shuts off no metter what i do.
Tried severall times. Any ideas?
btw i even updated NVIDIA drivers couse this is the first time a game that behave like that for me..... got me curious...

I have fairly good laptop and have never any trouble even with the heavyest games... This my new account, been member 6-7 years but this a first time that a game behave so strange or my laptop behave so strange
A guy mentioned, that maybe something with my graphcards couse i have 2....
Do you have any idea?

Anyone who was previously having the locale settings traceback with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Linux, and is willing to download 4GB again/be a bug tester for any of the aforementioned OSes, feel free to DM me! Pretty sure I've gotten the original issue fixed, but would like some confirmation before I put blindly putting it out there and calling it fixed again.

Guys, I already played move the chains v0.1 without an issue (original version)
This time I downloaded the compressed version and got the error unsupported locale setting......
So if I download the original version (4.5gb), I can play the game without an issue right? Or I have to wait for new patch/bugfix?

It's the same error everyone else is getting with Linux/Win7/8, happens in both, plays fine on Win10/11 and the like.

Please rethink this UI design, at least the Escape button should bring up the main menu, not the save page. The only way I could go back to the main menu was using alt f4.

And the icon for starting the tutorial makes no sense at all, I thought it would be another menu.

Escape (assuming you're talking about the physical key on the keyboard) brings up the main menu game menu for me.

Edit: Ah, you meant main menu? Then right-click on the screen > hit where it says main menu > hit the checkmark > profit.

And the icon for starting the tutorial makes no sense at all, I thought it would be another menu.

That's why the tutorial is offered at the opening screen. It specifically mentions stuff like this.

also, both Escape button and right click brings up the menu where you can select where you wanna go, and that button on the screenshot is there
