I've met Mystique in my room at night and she gave me an address to meet her but I can't find an option to visit anywhere new. I've restarted twice and run into the same issue. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

Wait, so what actually is the newest version? I'm getting confused with all the different names and versions on all the sites. Could someone drop the download link? And do I understand correctly, that alot of the content got removed, the older artworks show Raven walking around campus and there were also alot more clothing options?

Yes indeed, even if it hasn't been updated in forever. Coders for the expanded crew are the heavy bottleneck, but at least there has been movement on github, with commits being pushed, so work is being done, just a bit more quiet.
It's practically dead. There's only one engineer working on it, and from the trello board, it's like 1% done.

I was interested in helping out before, spoke with some folks in Discord. I also gave feedback on how they can make the project more friendly to onboard. I'm not sure if getting more people is actually a priority since there has been zero changes to the GitHub README since I last spoke with the folks who worked on the mod rework.

I gave the guys several examples of how to make the mod actually up to standards in today's open source, including a basic "Getting Started" section for people to compile the game and help contribute.

Any engineer who has professional experience will know what I mean. Here is one , that is probably the most popular frontend framework in the world. Here's another one: . Here is RENPY's own contribution guide / how to:

So while the bottle neck is indeed lack of "coders", it seems to me there is no initiative to make it easier for "coders" to work.

Well I knew the progress was quite slow but only 2 completions out of 34 items? That's pretty disappointing considering the year or so the modding team has been working on this. Sucks that all that art by the artists might never actually be implemented into any version of the game.

Seems to me it's one dude working on the programming aspect. I'm sure there are artists helping out. Also note the 2/34 completed thing is ONE module of the rework. There's probably a few more they need to do for the rework to finish. The mod is effective dead unless another programmer wants to help out.

The reason it is difficult is most programmers who are "good enough" probably all have jobs already. So instead of doing a 9-5, come home, code some porn games (FOR FREE), they just watch Netflix, go to bars after work, play video games, jerk off, etc. You're essentially looking for someone who is a) passionate enough to work for free and b) dedicated enough to try to figure out RENPY and the rework without any guidance.

Open source is not new. But the reason why these major companies (Facebook, Google, Microsoft) make it super easy for you is because they know that people who do open source are a rare breed in of themselves. Now, take people who are willing to do open source, plays this game, and is generous enough to do it without the prestige (some do opensource to network, and I'm sure nobody is going to advertise they wrote some porn game in Python), you see why the mod has little contributors.

Would you spend time working on this porn game or working on the Facebook library and maybe get a job at Facebook later. Or if you're already working in Facebook-esque company making 300k a year, would you work for free or buy a premium hooker for a few grand once or twice a week. Or maybe date if you're looking for love. Or maybe do a thousand more fun thing with your fat compensation than code, for free, on a porn game.

There's no option for it in my room or anywhere else. I've tried turning "Travel Mode" on and off. Like I mentioned earlier, I've restarted twice and I always get Mystique's night time visit and then, no way to go to where ever she wants to meet.

I figured out what I did wrong. Apparently, I had forgotten to install the 1.7 Patch in the right place. After installing the patch correctly, the Brotherhood became available from the main travel menu.
I appreciate the assistance.

The mod is technically dead until Oni actually finishes the game or reaches 1.0. Last I read from the modders is that they aren't gonna touch the base game anymore until it is final since Oni keeps making more bugs with every little increment of an update (0.99xa to 0.99xb can break more things than it fixes).
ok so some time in the year 3030 ^_-
