Ren'Py Power Vacuum [Ch. 12 Official] [What? Why? Games]

[bagdich]

Change the code ? What for ? The code is alright as it is.
Have you installed the patch correctly ?
I see a mention of AppTranslocation in the paths. This might indicate that the game is quarantined by Gatekeeper. Have you removed the quarantine with xattr in Terminal yet ?

I've bypassed the quarantine for this app. I've also turned it off.

I'm pretty sure David was the biological father of all 3 of Ophelia's children. There are even comments from multiple characters about Sterling's resemblance to David. And at no point in the game was it ever suggested that Ophelia was unfaithful to David in the time they were together.

It now seems likely that David was gay/bi/whatever, but that doesn't mean he couldn't have fathered Ophelia's children.

Thanks, yeah agree now that I finished Ch 11. I should have just waited a bit longer. All good.

Was wondering about the Clerks likeness to a celeb (Megan Fox), then Tiff and Flora as well:


Interesting likeness to some degree.

Interesting likeness to some degree.

Maybe a slight resemblance, but the long dark hair is a big part of it. A lot of the characters look somewhat alike with their delicate, angular features and full lips. There are many famous attractive women who fit the description.

That's one problem solved then. Which brings us back to my first question: have you installed the patch correctly ?
Also, is this the full version or the chapter 12 beta ?

this is the full version as I understand it. Installed it today from this site.
Or do I need to start the game again?
I installed the patch as usual. I installed the patch as usual. i.e.: downloaded -> unzipped-> ran it

Ok. Full version it is.
I'm not fully understanding what you mean with "ran it". There is nothing to run in the patch. Just files to be copied into the game folder. In my case, I initially made an error there by copying some files to the wrong location, which caused the game to behave not as it should.
Anyway, for me, the game picked up just fine from chapter 11. Maybe something got lost during downloading/unzipping ? Same goes for the patch. If something is missing there, that also may break the game.

But did you put it into the right folder? took the folder "game" and put it into the root of the PV folder to overwrite the "game" folder.

I'm sitting with a translator and it translated "ran it = start app" like this.
Usually when a new version of the game came out, I would delete the old one and just download the new one. all saves were still there.

Saves will stay off course. For Ren'Py, on a Mac, they are kept in the (hidden) Library folder (equivalent of Appdata on Windows)
What I am trying to determine is if you have applied the patch correctly ? Meaning, have you copied the files from the patch into the PowerVacuum app, more specifically into /Contents/Resources/autorun/game and its respective subfolders.

Here you go buddy:

(Imagine this as epic scrolling text, in the style of a Star Wars introduction)

Ophelia, Aliza and Andrew are siblings. Hunter is their father.
Hunter waits for Ophelia to turn 18 so he can corrupt her, because he's definitely going to care about age of consent kek.
He's not bothered about corrupting Aliza, his other daughter, as she's fat (at the time).
Before he can corrupt Ophelia, she meets David, marries him and gets pregnant with Brenna. Curses.
Then David knocks Ophelia up again, with Sterling. Double curses.
Then David knocks Ophelia up with Catherine. Hunter is quite annoyed now.

Because of Ophelia and Aliza moving out and some reason that I forget, David's sister Keira and David's mother Nora move into Hunters family home. Something about needing to sell their own house? Cost of living? Whatever, not important.
One day Hunter discovers young Andrew jerking off with Keira's underwear and takes the opportunity to say "Hey, you're a pervert, why not learn from me how to corrupt women with drugs and stuff."
Andrew goes along with this, discovers Hunter is not full of shit and, incredibly, can actually do this to women. They work together to corrupt Nora and Keira into becoming nympho exhibitionistic incestuous sluts. Good times.

David discovers this development, walking in on his sister and mother mid-coitus. Bad times.
David beats the shit out of Hunter and threatens him, Hunter promises to leave everyone alone and runs away to corrupt women around the world vowing to return one day. Well done David.
Nora and Keira come to their senses (for now?) and move to Canada, where Keira (pregnant with... probably... Andrew's child) gives birth to Lucia.
Andrew transitions to Drew and carries on applying the techniques Hunter taught him.
Other than David, nobody has any idea what just happened. David is haunted by the idea that his son will one day inherit the magical "Sex God" powers Hunter's bloodline carries (via Ophelia) and treats Sterling poorly as a result.

Fast forward 19 years - Sterling returns home after the death of David and the plot kicks off, with Hunter returning to finish what he originally started - to impregnate Ophelia (which has been his goal all along), also Aliza (as she's lost enough weight Hunter now finds her attractive), also Brenna and Catherine for obvious reasons. Hunter initially tries to corrupt Sterling the same way as Andrew but that fails (see What If number 3 to see the alternate timeline where Sterling agrees).

Sterling later finds his father's diary/letter to him and learns his dad wasn't really a bad dude and felt guilt about his crap treatment of Sterling. He warns Sterling to watch out for Hunter (and Drew) and protect his family from them becoming mind-broken incest sluts. Oh the irony.

This is awesome, makes sense of all the twists and turns in this game. Nicely supplemented by what Fayn Arawn did, a pretty good family tree here: https://f95zone.to/threads/power-vacuum-ch-12-official-what-why-games.36240/post-12443229.

So if we were to suggest a pairing with Kevin in an upcoming Last Chance poll, who would we want to see him with? Keep in mind he can only win one time. I think my vote would be for Kevin x Brenna.

Well, I'm not fan of Netorare scenes. But if I have to choose, I would choose Brenna as well.

Just download the new version and play it. Provided you didn't do anything funny with your user data, the game should pick up where you left it. Ren'Py keeps a copy of your save files outside of the game folder.
Don't forget to install the mandatory patch.

Thanks a lot, that worked wonders!!

This game is very good. But how all family members relate to each other. Everyone with everyone. I'm very confused about the family's
genealogy. Can anyone tell who is who in this story? I'm sure twists and turns can happen. Siblings can actually be cousins. Cousins can be brothers. Thanks

Keira and Drew are these Lucia's parents? Is she adopted?

Brenna and Catherine are Sterling's sisters.
Ophelia and David are his mom and dad.
Aliza is his maternal aunt as well Drew is his maternal uncle/aunt since he/she is a trans, Ophelia is the oldest sibling while Drew is the youngest.
Lucia is his paternal and maternal cousin, since Keira is Lucia's mom, Keira is his paternal aunt, David and Keira are siblings, Lucia's dad is Drew.
Nora is his paternal grandma as well Annabelle is his maternal grandma, Nora is David's and Keira's mom while Annabelle is Ophelia's, Aliza's and Drew's mom.
Hunter is Ophelia's, Aliza's and Drew's dad.

No Lucia isn't adopted. Drew and Keira are her real parents

Check out the post that was only 3 before yours.

I'll post this again since people are asking about a family tree. It's not as detailed as Fayn's but it gets the point across.
