THIS IS A RED ALERT FOR THIS GAME, WANTS ADMINISTATIVE PRIVILEGES, DON'T RUN IT, no game is required to have admin privileges, and for renpy even less, he wants to access your system. Malicious intentions.
I don't like insulting people on the internet but confusing a general error message that will show up during any renpy game or any program at all, let alone patronus with a request for admin privilages is just outright stupid. Just because it asks you to try running the game as an admin does not mean it wants to access your system nor does it mean he has malicious intentions.

```
While running game code:
File "game/_engine/inventory.rpy", line 1, in <module>
File "game/libs/config_parser/ConfigParser.rpy", line 84, in dict_from_config_file
Exception: Failed to call a needed program for the game to work, try to run the game as admin or submit your problem with you computer specs.
```
it says `try to run the game as admin`
```
on the original renpy code
You must be registered to see the links
so why does the developer wants admin rights?
```
and all the windows defenders alerts, you know the Trojan history?

If someone wants to install a trojan on a computer, there are much, much more efficient ways to do it than creating an indie porn game, especially one with a rather obscure / niche concept. This is not even nearly the most popular game on this site, where the indie porn game market is already quite niche in itself. This game is clearly an incredible labour of love. The notion that it is intentionally trying to infect your computer is stupid.
If you are worried about trojans, try checking out cracks for AAA games, like downloading The Sims off The Pirate Bay.
And even there, I know people who have done that plenty of times, generally without problems.
If you are a hacker who wants to install trojans, I would suggest to create the next Big Brother / Milfy City rip-off. Much bigger market in such games. And try to hide it better so it doesn't trigger well-known anti-virus software.
That said, the game, specifically the Minmaxer program (whatever that is) does seem to have a behaviour that reputable anti-virus software considers risky. Even though it is likely unintentional, it is still not good practice.

In terms of safety, shoot 1st ask questions later.
The wonders of renpy is that you can provide the script of the game and any person can run it, as well any developer can check it, no binaries/compiled code are required.
Don't download for unknown sources, cracked pirated software, piratebay or somewhere else, can and normally are, so don't download it, but it's not the point in this case.

The developer can with ease provide the scripts, as other indie developers do when they release renpy games.

I've gotten quite a number of messages from people asking me to take a look at Minmaxer. A cursory look through patr0nuS's files reveals it is only used as an io wrapper to..."translate" some things for parsing configuration stuff (trying to respect author's attempt at protecting their work...keeping this explanation simple), nothing shady, just the author trying to protect their work is all. I am not going to reveal exactly how it works unless author is okay with it. Suffice to say, it is not malicious at the time of this message. Minmaxer is not exactly a sophisticated solution but eh.
A few of you have asked me about variables and such. I might bother making a list of things but I don't play adult games, I just reverse-engineer DRM and stuff, so no promises at all. As for scripts, just unpack it like I did. Five seconds, seriously, stop asking me to baby you or I'll sic Tiny Tina on you, badonkadonk.
Suggestion to author: Embed into libs/exe. No need then for a second binary...especially considering how many API calls it makes. I can see any paranoid AV wanting to flag it. Including Linux support would also be nice. Considering the things behind the scenes, a Linux bin of Minmaxer would be rather easy to compile.

Log in or register now.
You're clueless.
Yes and no. Some things are malicious, some aren't. Perhaps temper the response to include. :]

We've already committed to retiring minmaxer in an upcoming release. We'd be interested in suggestions about embedding into libs, given that linking libs into RenPy is a bit of an issue.

I like this response, few too devs would respond like that.
As for embedding this functionality...Ren'Py is open-source. That answer alone should suffice. I'd just compile Ren'Py and add in the specific routines for what I'd need. Maybe even change the way Ren'Py parses RPAs (removing magic-bytes and obfuscation alone would be more than enough to prevent extraction by most skiddies and gimmies). Maybe even add string obfuscation (I've seen your way before actually, I built a simple regex to scan for memory types and 'vardecs' like that ) so that even in-memory strings are outside ascii ranges and only their final pickled values are ever able to be used. Could also hard-code remove Console, etc. Ren'Py would be an easy engine to protect against automated tools if pushed in the right direction. Wouldn't stop someone like me (other alias, scene-group(s), <insert plausible deniabilities>) but it'd more than enough to hinder almost anyone else. I'm also a fan of symbol-mangling as a trap for young players. Love making a tutorial video of reverse-engineering some simple .NET application that has had it's strings obfuscated, symbols mangled and reads/writes own process memory to fix undecompilable code as it executes so that most decompilers can't make sense of them. Love home-made solutions myself. That being said though, a lot of people prefer to be able to mod things. So maybe after some time that it is complete and you've made an honest amount from it, open-source your game just as Ren'Py is.

Another person asked me about that. Just ignore, for now. You'll keep getting it until an update is pushed.
Do you the estimate length for Maeve to recover? Like how many days did take for you?

Guards are hired through the brothel madam
Brother quest you talk to the slave trader and market if I recall right, Dies veneris is the day you will get answers at the home town
You need to tell em to stay here in the brothel then you should see option to move to bedroom
Yes, just quite some time.
She appears to be very important to buy, as Shes the catalyst for being able to hire Medicos

I really, really love the information sharing and participation that is beginning to emerge around the game. It's part of what I was hoping for when I started all this.

An entire thread dedicated to a FAQ? Perhaps ask OP to create a thread and allow you to moderate it. Then perhaps ask OP to update #1 to include a link to it.
