VN Ren'Py Move the Chains [v0.3.5] [MissFortune]

[TsubameYui]

Please do let me know if you come across anything.

Finished the game. No major issues found. Mostly just the stuff everyone else has brought up with the UI/character cards. I did notice a missing(or misnamed) image at the end of the Yuna morning BJ scene. Definitely could use a proofreader going over the script, but I probably notice more than most, being a proofreader.

Overall the writing is very good, but I did notice a lot of missing words, a lot of extra words, and a fair few misspellings. My schedule is pretty full at the moment, but feel free to hit me up when episode 3's script is done. I may be more available by then, if you're interested.

On a side note, that conversation with Emily would have gone very different, if it were up to me. Something more along the lines of "You have one hour to be packed and on your way out of the state. If anyone sees you in the same time zone as my sister, ever again, I'll put you in the ground faster than you can blink." I get that she needs to stick around for story reasons, but I don't think I've ever hated a female character as much as I hate her. I've done unspeakable things to people that tried to hurt my sister. A line doesn't exist, that I wouldn't cross for her sake.

Thank you for that, I have one more question to add though, will that add incest as well or do we have to download the separate incest patch too? In other words, are they both different and need to be applied separately or can we skip the incest patch for politically incorrect patch to get the intended effect?

Two separate patches. Apply both for best results.

Hi... Wanted to try the game... Well, anybody experienced this?
I start the game, come to "input your name" and before i even can do anything, tried typing, just return or just waiting, 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...

Do you have a save just in the beginning of the game so i can try it?
btw i couldnt save either, shut down

Did a "traceback.txt" file appear in the main directory? If so, you can attach it to your comment, to give the dev more info to find the problem.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

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.

There were a few odd choices though. Like, I would respond to someone, and then the conversation would be changed to something different. Like for instance at the dance studio when you say you're in, you all the sudden start talking about something else. I get it was supposed to show time passed, but it just jumps right into it and was a bit jarring. Same with the Diana confrontation scene at Emily's place. One minute you're on a roof dancing with Diana, next you're bursting into Emily's place to confront Diana. Was just really confusing.

But otherwise, nice update. Always enjoy your work, so, excited to see what's next. Thanks.

Yeah, sometimes it's tough to write in transitions to flashbacks. I thought the flashback and the letterboxing might've been enough to separate the scenes themselves as individuals, which exist as a counter to show how different their relationship was before it all happened in contrast to the present

Glad you enjoyed it!

I wonder how he got his number

If you see the render before, MC pulled it out of her back pocket.

antivirus fond Win32/DefenseEvasion.A!ml and deleted the exe file

Pretty obvious false positive. Likely due to Renpy's handling of .ico files.

Is this game very sportsball centric? Can I cruise through it (the sportsball) without losing much?

Very much, so far. A lot of the terminology that's native to it is included in the glossary, but for someone who's not interested in the topic of it might find it a bit boring. As the story progresses, the amount of scenes/sub-storylines that exist outside of it will grow, but it's always going to play a central role all the same.

Can someone either compress the android or provide an apk and separate rpa please? The current file won't install due to size.

Should be coming tomorrow with the public release, though any modder is free to do it if they choose. Would make my life a lot easier.

----

For anyone still struggling to open the VN due to the locale settings issue, I'll be uploading a version without it the locale period until I can get the root of the problem figured out. Should be released with the public version tomorrow.

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

 

[shamtiiomi]

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

JokerLeader Could you consider creating a walkthrough mod for this game?

Could you run it from command prompt and post the output text?
(Search internet "windows run program from command prompt" if you don't know how).

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

Universal Ren'Py Mod / URM [2.1.3] (mod any Ren'Py game yourself)

Universal Gallery Unlocker [2024-01-24] [ZLZK]


Lancaster Kingsman, not sure why you are laughing, if there isn't a mod available, it works just like any other mod, it shows choices, unlocks paths, works for almost every single Ren'Py game.

It's easy to and never borks saves.

I'll see what I can do about that.

Thanks!

Hi MissFortune, I would like some help. I play by the PC emulator and when I click on settings this appears.

Yes

It's the locale settings that seem to be fucking things up for older devices/machines. I'll be uploading a Locale-less version of the game until I can figure out what the cause is.

 

[PickerLewd]

I confirm that the latest patch fixes the menu bugs, everything seems fine on Windows 10 updated to April 2024.

 

[Deleted member 4301506]

Yeah, I've already crunched it pretty hard, so I not sure where the size is coming from. It's kind of getting to a point where it's more of a pain than its worth to manage, so I might start letting one of the Android guys/modders roaming around the forums start taking care of it for me.

Will do it for the Fan tier tomorrow, but the UI for the Android version still need to be adjusted some, so it'll be touch delayed. Will still likely be ready to go for the public release, though.

the size isent the issue for me here's what I got when I tried to install
failed to install MoveTheChains-0.2.apk: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES: Failed to collect certificates from /data/app/vmdl195544836.tmp/base.apk using APK Signature Scheme v2: integer overflow]

hope this helps fix the problem
