My best guess for a workaround would be implementing some custom tracking system between scenes so the side images aren't bleeding into unintended scenes. I haven't seemed to experience this with other games or personal projects. That being said, it could either be a result of a recent Power Vacuum update where a coding change indirectly caused this, or it is a Ren'Py update that caused this. I'm still not sure which, I'm leaning towards the first though as this wasn't happening in earlier versions (Or maybe I just didn't notice it:unsure:).

I'm sure WWG will eventually get around to it.

Basically what is happening is:

Example code:
image side hun exc = "hunter/hexc.png" #Excited expression Hunter
image side ste sad = "sterling/ssad.png" # Sad Sterling
image side bre neu = "brenna/bneu.png" #Neutral Brenna

Intended Example Conversation of Sterling saying "Hi" to Brenna:

s s sad "Hi"
b b neu "Hi"

Bug causes bleed:


s s sad "Hi"
h h exc #No dialogue, just side injection
b b neu "Hi"


Something within one of the project files is either storing and injecting old/future side calls, or a close could be missing in one of the files. Not really sure which one, that's just my hunch. It could be a neat little project for someone with a lot of time on their hands looking to further their Ren'Py experience to look into, as it could be pretty time intensive to look into. I'd imagine this is something WWG probably won't have near the top of their priority task list, seeing as it's relatively minute compared to overall game development.

I highkey would love the Lucia/Drew NTR bad end being canon or like an optional path, I am biased because futa is my #1 fetish but like the main fetish of this game is incest and you can't deny a hung girl in a throuple with her sister and the daughter they had together isn't hot af, Losing Keira would sting a lil cuz she is really hot but I wouldn't mind letting Drew have Lucia at all.

I don't think Keira and Drew are related? But otherwise I agree, I'd like canon-sex between Drew and Lucia to be thing (doesn't mean Sterling and Lucia have to stop fucking though).

I was recently reminded about this game and figured why not go for round two. Im not sure how I managed to play through the entirety of this game without losing my mind, the way you have to progress the story is so unbelievably boring
