ok, so after unzipping there was two things i found suspicious in the game folder, a desktop.ini file containing the following lines
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
and a folder names "Rubbish" with a "tmp" folder inside containing a file with no extension named "lock"(witch seems to be empty after opening it in notepad), so just for fun i did a quick "virus" search of this thread, witch returned a lots of results!! XD seems this game as triggered a few people's antivirus lol(mostly win defender from a quick glance)!! so just to be on the safe side i deleted both the ini and the rubbish folder before launching the game, the game still starts normally, and haven't triggered the oh so mighty defender so far!! XD i'm not a pro programmer, and never had to wrote a desktop.ini, but i do dabble in programming as a hobby, and the fact the .ini is pointing to "MEGAsync.exe" in a non-existent user folder(who's "ovist"??) is kinda suspicious to me!!! :p

Lately it has become a bad programmer habit to put program files in Appdata (Discord does that as well, so does the business software in our company ... bah!). That's not what the folder is meant for. Programs should always go to "program files", Appdata is for ... Tadaa!! yes you guessed right: data. But lazy programmers who don't want to be concerned with elevated access rights (program installations and updates should require admin rights on a safe system) just put the whole thing to Appdata where any program started by the user can write to.

desktop.ini is the file in which Windows stores certain folder settings, like the displayed icon or an alias name.
A lock file (usually called "~lock" or ".lock") is often used to preven multiple access to the same resources. If the software can't write the file, then it means that another instance is blocking the access, so it will abort. Usuall the file is empty (file size 0) and can be deleted at any time.

Conclusion: Most likely the person ("ovist") who created the archive had megasync installed in appdata and created the archive while megasync was running. He or she just put everything into the archive without excluding the junk files.

Hi guys,
How are you? I hope everybody is doing fine.

PROGRESS STATUS

This past week was not the best one, because I was not happy with the text, so I've have modified the text and plan a few times already. This episode and the next one are very important in our main character development so it has to be perfect, that's why I struggle to write the text.

The initial plan was to finish writing the text by the end of this week, but there are still a few events to write and maybe some other events to rewrite.

Beside the text I have finished setting up my new machine, so hopefully next week I will finally start to use it for development of the game.

That being said I hope you all

I really like the game in general, but I noticed that what I believe to be impactful choices were practically non-existent in the last updates and I hope we get some options back in future.

Also I chose the "bad boy" path early on, and the MC is so loving and bantering caring that I can't imagine what the love path looks like. I would love an option to corrupt Tris more smartly, rather than being the superhero older brother to her.

Probably not a common opinion, but the constant family banter is tiring. It feels like every single conversation between MC and Tris is banter from the beginning to the end with not a sincere word in between. And it is only slightly better with Charlotte.

I'm missing some of the achievements and memories. Can someone tell me which path i need to stick to see those?

I'm missing s2e2 last memory and s2e6 first 2 memories (didn't play ep7 yet). Thank you in advance.

Probably a big unpopular opinion: I don't really care for the romance with the mom, and his aunt. I don't mind the sister stuff but I honestly enjoy the romances with Emma, Lisa, Lauren more or that's just me?

At first, I thought Emma was good digger but after finding out she have abandonment issues and Daddies made like her and explains on why she's scare to lose the MC. I couldn't do the cheating route with her because of that.

Also I like both Lisa & Lauren but I prefer Lisa for the romance while Lauren is great in terms of sex which is pretty much the point.

Including, getting more Beatrice content in the future, I like her.

You are one of the few ones, yes. If it was not for the great pool scene which you get to see if you hook up with both Charlotte and Tris, I would have closed Charlottes path completely. But most people here are into moms, so she's not going to vanish for sure. The others ... Apart from Tris so far nothing really "got" me. There is just nothing special about them (not talking about render/model quality). It would be nice to see some more bitching between Triss and Emma, but since Emma is no favorite, I don't think she will play a major role.

You're playing a modded version of the game which missed a script.

This breaks auto-forward for no reason:

Code:
$ ui.saybehavior()
$ ui.interact()
Use pause instead.

There's more bad Ren'py, like the mc character name, but I'm too lazy to code review.

I might be wrong, but when using pause don't you still have an empty text box?
