From what I saw in the screenshot, you need to complete her bedroom events (well, the first three) before continuing the kitchen events and newer events. They are basically the only events that serve as triggers for some diffferent events.
And it tells you the events that require other events or more stars when you use the events button.
I don't know if you have access to editing the page, but could be nice to put an "old saves don't work" in the main page, also you can request a dev tag too.
I'll take a look at the forum rules to know the correct place to put this type of information in the thread. And thanks for the suggestion, it's really a good idea.
How can I do the bedroom events if she's NEVER in her bedroom? The only place she will appear is in the kitchen, I just spent more than a week waiting in her bedroom and she never showed up.
Thanks for letting me know, I'll take a look at these events to see if there's any issues going on. Maybe it's because of some bug, so I need to check it out as soon as possible.
Maybe put that option in the changelog in the OP, I think most of us go straight to load game, get an error, and freak out
.... JK
Thanks for the comment. After considering about the matter for some time, I decided to change the way Lya appears in the apartment's rooms. Currently the system involves a bit of rng, but it seems to be causing frustration for some players, so i decided to change to a different system.
As a player, I think most people want to feel like they are progressing, even if it's just a little bit. A string of bad luck with the random generators and you as a player feel like you've become stuck and maybe you're missing something.
So basically this is about big tits. Well, good to know. Saves me wasting my bandwidth.
RNG, can become a problem really fast, in my opinion, the more events are in a place the less the probability to get the new one, which lead to a frustrating game experiences.
One character has big tits (and they're not even huge compared to most games here). The other two characters are loli - if that's what you're into.
Once I figured out the mechanics, I just smashed through it by fast forwarding the time until I got a hit on an encounter in the room that had one available.First of all. Thanks for your game, elf plus vanilla? You completely hammered my strike zone!
Lyana is cute and likeable I look forward for more
Now some suggestion:
1. Can you remove the violet background in the dialog box, with a transparent one? I tried using this mod https://f95zone.to/threads/renpy-transparent-text-box-mod-v2-6-3.11925/ , but it didn't work well. A transparent dialog box with outlined text I think can improve the overall feeling of the game (in my opinion).
2. RNG.
RNG, can become a problem really fast, in my opinion, the more events are in a place the less the probability to get the new one, which lead to a frustrating game experiences.
I can see there are already two level of rng, (1)the place Lyana appear and the (2) event itself.
Possible solutions/suggestion are:
A) a time table for each characters in the game, or
B) the game track the new events, giving priority to new events and feeding them to the player. Eg. two array of "events" new_events and old_events. The game check the first "new_events" array if not empty play the first one of the list then put the event played in "old_events" array.
If "new_events" array is empty then take a random event from "old_events" array.
I don't really know, is just a suggestion, if is too much work forget everything I've said.
3. Kisses, I'll be really happy to see kisses, I mean Lyana supple lips are meant to be kissed, right?
Again, thanks for your game. I will look forward for more

After considering the matter, I think it's better to change the system a little bit. As I said in the other comment, I'll probably go on with some kind of schedule for Lya's events, where she'll show up in certain rooms at specific times, instead of randomization. I will also try to prioritize the unfinished events over the already-completed ones. This way, it will be possible to reduce much of the frustration of waiting for the right event to appear.
I'm using the same mod (+toggle quick menu). It didn't remove the background for me too, so here's my extra mod:
init 969:
screen say(who, what):
style_prefix "say"
window:
id "window"
if who is not None:
window:
id "namebox"
style "namebox"
text who id "who"
text what id "what"
if not renpy.variant("small"):
add SideImage() xalign 0.0 yalign 1.0
A good attitude like this (and asbestos underwear) is a health sign for the future of the game.Well, thanks for the feedback. So far the game doesn't have a very wide variety of characters and locations, so you'll spend most of your time inside the apartment. For now you basically don't need a walkthrough or anything similar, you just need to pass the time and play the events that come up, that's why I didn't develop the tasks that much. I put the quest log just in case the player gets stuck somewhere, but even that is not really necessary. From what I've noticed, the problem is more in the rng part, which is something I used a little bit in the apartment events (sometimes the players may go a long time without encountering any event, and that's probably a huge problem).
But it's good to get this kind of criticism, because I can better define which parts I should focus more time on developing. So, I thank you for playing the game and especially for commenting here in the thread.
