I'm struggling a lot with some scenes, especially the ones involving Lani AND Marla. It got bad enough that I gave up and decided to cheat a bit by checking the code.
Turns out there's something labeled
which is inside a conditional requiring
Python:
highest_lani_camp_scene >= 2
but without
Python:
lani_marla_adventure_convo
.
Or, in a way that's slightly easier to understand, AFTER Lani uses her feet to make Liam cum in the tent, but BEFORE Lani tells Marla about doing stuff to Liam in the tent.
In addition to that, to even REACH that conditional you need to fulfill
Python:
marla_plant_convo2_day != None and marla_plant_convo2_day <= day - 10 and marla_plant_convo2 == False
.
That translates to:
- Marla talked to Liam about Planty Tomato-Pants dying and Liam told her to not wash it;
- At least 10 days have passed after the Planty Tomato-Pants conversation;
- The last one is just to ensure this event triggers only once.
PLUS, if you have
it will trigger an early ending of the event, in which case you won't be able to reach the Lani+Marla conditional. This one triggers when you have actual sex with Lani in the Tent, so yeah, having sex with Lani will make it impossible to trigger this event.
To sum it up:
- Get a Footjob from Lani;
- Get Marla to talk to you about Planty Tomato-Pants dying and wait at least 10 days after that;
- Do NOT fuck Lani before this event is triggered.
Not that hard after summing it up, but fuck, this wasn't easy to track.
BTW, not sure if the dev reads the Thread, but if so, props on the keeping the code clean and commented. The code could use some work, but that's always the case. Rewind's Code is leagues above most Ren'Py games I've checked, even really simple and straightforward games. Considering the size of the game, I'm actually impressed by how organized the code is. A few dialogues do have some inconsistencies if you rush some path (Like, if you ruch Lani's path and have sex with her too soon, many dialogues won't reflect that, like the massage ones, or the ones in Allura's dungeon). That's pretty much a given when you have as much branching as this game though. My tip to improve that would be having a set of default checks for every conversation, like ("Had sex with Lani?", "Is in a relationship?" etc.). More checks would be added as development progresses, and all dialogues could be either manually reviewed or tested against those checks. It might be a good idea to have dialogues in separate files, and I personally would probably use Python for those, either writing a DSL or making some structure for the dialogues. At the very least, I'd recommend having some way to check all the dialogues and their conditions, making it easier to check for inconsistencies.
Also, it'd be nice to have a Party check to ensure you fight the Cock-a-trice alone, since even if you have Lani with you she doesn't ever recall that fight, which feels a bit weird.
TL;DR: Amazing game, love it, I was impressed by how good the code is, some events are ridiculously hard to get,and I listed how to get one of them above. =D
