okay this is 100% incorrect

a Jack and Jill bathroom is ensuite to 2 bedrooms. thereby having a door to each bedroom, was typically used as one bedroom for the sons (Jack) and the other the daughters (Jill). There is commonly only one sink in it.

2 basins is called a dual vanity.

and generally speaking neither are used in a "studio" apartment. as a studio apartment is where the living room is the same as the bedroom, if it has a separate bedroom then it is a 1-bedroom unit.
I'll admit, completely outside of my knowledge here. Just kinda took from AI and most likely misunderstood it. Didn't really look much further into it.

I'll look a bit more deeply and update it for Episode 4.

Move the Chains [v0.3.5] [MissFortune]

Changelog:
3.5, for those who weren't following very closely, is something of a QoL update for myself that also attempts to fix some of the longer running issues. Such as the gallery/scene replays and character page.

It's not required for you to download and play right now. For anyone not on Steam, I'd recommend you probably just wait for Episode 4 as this will be apart of that as well. But it's here for anyone who's either just joining/download or wants to do it anyways. Here's the changelog for 3.5:

- Finished (mostly) the character menu. Likes/Interests to be added as you get closer to LIs.
- Updated Music Room for faster attribution (for S01E03 and following, Episodes 1+2 will come later).
- CG gallery and Animation/Scene Replays should work fully now (play through Episode 3.5)
- Fixed Stats screen.
- Fixed exit methods when returning from Main Menu and Quit screens.
- Fixed some consistency issues, others remain and will addressed.

The beef of this update was the character menu, obviously. Likes have been left blank as I felt it'd be better to add as the player gets closer. They won't have much of a role, but may play a role in choices later on. Nothing integral, though.

The music room is more for me than it is the players, though it does offer some ease of use in that the buttons are a bit clearer. The reason for the change in method is due to the style of the previous format. First I had to make an idle and hover imagebutton, typing the song title and centering the album/song cover, saving each, and so forth. Which is easy enough for a few songs, but when you're using 50+ songs per update, it's gets real tedious real fast. This way, I change just type in the artist and song title and save. Previous updates will get the same treatment, but not a priority.

The gallery/scene replay has been a pain. Should be working fine now. Triple checked both the Steam version and Patreon version and didn't get any tracebacks. Also fixed Emily's CG traceback, even if there's nothing in it currently.

Traceback when going into the stats screen should be fixed. The latter two changes are probably not very noticeable to anyone who wasn't bothered by them in first place, but were still addressed regardless.

Episode 4 will now start going full steam (heh) into development now that this is done. Thanks again for the patience and putting up with my stupid mistakes. :)

For those who didn’t cum in Eisley, do you still get the scene of her on her phone suggesting that she is possibly pregnant when trying to contact the MC?

MissFortune, you must not watch college football. The Texas A&M isn't the longhorns, they are the Aggies.I would've said something like the Naggies here not Shorthorns. It's Texas Longhorn, and A&M Aggies.

Are you sure you didn't cum inside either time? That'd be the only way it'd pop up. I'll double check in a moment here, but I'm pretty sure the code is right for that.

Edit: Yeah, looks fine on my end:

"Every station I've been on since we hit state lines has either brought you or the Shorthorns up". Both are in Texas and are talked about in Texas sports media. Texas A&N in this universe is a rebranded/reimagined Aggies.

There's multiple instances of them mentioning the team's name:

Got you. I was imagining them talking about the protagonist or the college he's going to play for. Being they mentioned other players was joining him.

Hello, does this patch include the current update? And my other question is, in which folder exactly should I move this file?

After buying the house, I don't know if there will be any budget left for the MC to buy condoms :Kappa:.

I still love it when the developers pull these surprises out of the bag (y).
Nah, y'all gentlemen are panicking about this waaayy too soon. What if she really got herself knocked up after having a lil too much casual fun, BUT the baby's actually Paco's ?? How 'bout that for a crazy plot twist ??:unsure:

Tbh, I personally can see Eisley becoming a damn dog's baby mama, not the kinda mental image I needed or asked for, but I blame it all on her and MC's funny banter on this topic. Huge L for her if that 0.1% chance of this actually happening turns out to be true, however funny and disgusting this might sound.:sneaky::ROFLMAO:

+1000 props for including a Streamer mode. Goes to show your ambitions of not just making porn, it's ridiculous how the biggest names in this visual novel world don't include a streamer mode.
The only thing that's more ridiculous to me is how little support this gem of a game gets compared to most of the 'well-written' trash posted here. It's downright annoying and somewhat disheartening seeing so many cookie-cutter incest, cuck, cumslut and sissy simulators make so much money compared to what this game makes, when its story, characters and visuals are superior to the vast majority of them, but guess fapping to mindless fuckfests with no actual story and development beats an interesting story with good build-up, interesting characters and a damn good MC acting like a believable guy with his talent and background, smh.

I see one-eyed captain Emily Sparrow is one of the main loves
She was a very borderline main LI, and still is.
Good to know she's completely avoidable as one. I personally am looking forward to the sweet, delicious update where we can fuck her brains out right before and after we'll give Dwight the ass whooping of the century. Don't have any problem with them still being fuck buddies, all guys and girls need at least one of those IRL IMHO, but the eye thing is unnecessary, a little too much and too on the delicate side for my taste.

Might be in the minority on this, but yeah, it's not exactly a plus for an LI, her (so far seemingly) selfish bitch attitude doesn't help her case either. Can look past her shitty attitude if she earns my trust, the eye thing is... a different story tho. Sorry for sounding too insensitive, but tastes and preferences.:cautious:

sadly this game has one big negative and that's plot cohesion, there's too many scenes when you feel like the mc just teleports himself to the next scene and you ask yourself wtf is happening, it's like somebody took the scenes of a freeroaming game and put them together to try and make a VN

is just a wild guess but i think the dev makes the scenes out of order to optimize time and this is affecting the plot in a really bad way

Since this is the only place actively using any sort of Android variance, I'll just be posting this here for modders or whomever wants to port it to Android.



It basically only adds a mobile variant for the exit button on save/load menus. So, probably not worth the download if you've already downloaded it. In an ideal world, I would've just uploaded the screen.rpy and rpyc. But Android, in their ever-so-wise pursuit of becoming Apple, has locked the place where you'd put those files. So, if I understood correctly, you'd basically need root access to your phone.

The last time I rooted my phone and fucked with ROMs, and this'll probably age me a bit, is back when I had my HTC Inspire. Have zero need to fuck with rooting on a modern phone, though. So, all that to say I'm clueless with rooting and such.

Is there anyone who also encounters this issue :

While running game code:
Exception: Sayer b're' is not a function or string.

Full traceback:
File "S01E01.rpyc", line 2967, in script
File "C:\Users\"$user\Downloads\MoveTheChains-0.3-pc\MoveTheChains-0.3-pc\renpy\ast.py", line 907, in execute
raise Exception("Sayer %s is not a function or string." % self.who.encode("utf-8"))
Exception: Sayer b're' is not a function or string.


Is there any patch for this i didn't saw or it only happens to me, also there is the code block which catches the error :

""""
if who is not None:
stmt_name = getattr(who, "statement_name", "say")
if callable(stmt_name):
stmt_name = stmt_name()
statement_name(stmt_name)
else:
statement_name("say")
if not (
(who is None) or
callable(who) or
isinstance(who, basestring)):
raise Exception("Sayer %s is not a function or string." % self.who.encode("utf-8"))
""""

I'm aware. I came across it earlier. No idea what's causing it. It's just odd because it's worked fine for multiple updates. Until recently. Not sure what's changed. It's annoying, but you should be able to skip/ignore through it for now.

Looking into it now. It seems like redefining a new name for the character (Renee who has the 're') works, but might screw things up for later updates.

Edit: So, it looks like it's probably something to do with the RegEx of Python/Ren'py. I'm going to some experimenting to make sure the fix works. Should have it up by tomorrow.

I just downloaded the copy from here and threw in the script with the name definitions and the fixed name in S01E01.rpy.

For anyone having this issue, This is mostly going to refer to any new players/anyone replaying from the beginning. This shouldn't effect anyone else.

Appreciate it! With the update to 3.5 to fix/finish the stats screen and a few other things, I was about to give it a playthrough. :)
