If you go to Android, you need to move the file from the root folder (where the game and renpy folders are) to inside the game folder. That should hopefully work?

The problem isn't Android, the file is in the right place (this time I didn't forget to include it, haha). What happens here is that he's playing from an emulator inside Android (Joiplay), which must be making changes to the file structure and therefore can't find the license file.

Zargon_games Yes, that's what I understood. I suppose that because he uses a non Android build with the file in root folder, but the check is looking for it in the game folder because renpy might still recognize it's Android? If it's not that, I have no idea though. We do support the official releases, not emulations, compressed, etc.
You're correct. Once I copied the license file into the game sub-folder it works! Thanks for the troubleshooting suggestions guys!
I'm not sure why this is necessary. I've checked a few other games and none have the license in the game folder, just either the main folder with the exe or the renpy folder. Very odd occurrence...

Simple reason, the file is read (from my own code) as part of the About page, so the code needs to locate it. I put it in the root folder, and that worked until we created our first Android build, where renpy wouldn't include the file in the APK, so for Android, we moved it to the game folder and I changed the code to look for it there on Android.
Could we have put it into a different folder? Surely, but it worked like this and I think the renpy folder should be for Ren'Py internal stuff, not game related files. Could we have put it into the game folder for all builds, not just Android? Sure, but I prefer to have it in the root folder, as license files should be.
In the end, this works for all our official builds, but when you use the non Android build on Android, the game looks in a different folder and you get that error message (which is there because otherwise you get a way more cryptic error message, and also because people creating ports or compressed versions in the past dropped that file and as the error message reads, you're not supposed to do that for legal, moral and technical reasons.

Thanks for the clarification. I was mostly using Joiplay so I could also use the multi mod, but that crashes the game with Joiplay for whatever reason. The other main reason is that the android/data folder is locked and hidden on Android 14 so there's no way to back up saves any more, so games have to stay installed if you want to keep old saves. The solution, as with estrada777's port, is to use a save folder outside the data folder, but almost no devs do that, only the porters seems to do that.

Always happy to help. Any pointers as to what the problem with Sancho's mod is? Maybe Sancho or I can fix it?
About why devs don't do that, I've not been aware of this issue before, but it seems that Ren'Py doesn't support this so porters like estrada777 would need to use a special patched version of Ren'Py maybe?

Not really, it just tries to load for about 10 seconds then crashes. There's not really anything in the log to speak of:

Anne
Will keep my eye out for further updates of this game, it has a unique theme with coherent text and beautiful characters/environment - recipe for success! Really hope to see Anne pregnant somewhere down the line like in fantasy MC had... and if the kid turns out neither Stuart's or MC's as a surprise it would be extremely hot
P.S. Thanks to Sancho1969 for mod to keep the gameplay relaxed and fulfilled! <3

No SanchoMod is 'droid compatible (as of Core v7+). JoiPlay is not an option since it does not emulate an operating system as noted on the main page of their website:
SanchoMod uses custom API's... this can be handled proper by Win/Mac/Linux. Android has been and always will be behind this curve since goooogle refuses to support API's at all. So, blame your chosen operating system for the failure. It is an inferior OS tbh. If you wish to play on a handheld then use one that fully supports or 100% emulates one of the big 3, which includes devices like Steam Deck, ROG Ally, etc. I can personally confirm it works on both those devices, the former being a Linux base and the latter being a Win base unit.

Ottoeight Probably not good enough relation with both of them? Easiest way to get the scene should be to get their scene at the camp, show yourself to them and be allowed to watch (if you aren't, you're relation is already too low at that point). Depending on whether you're missing points with Charlotte or Peter, it's better to text her first or invite him directly, respectively.

Agreed, best school/university game
Maybe preview images could have been better, so that game attracts more people?

I think the fact it isn't a typical harem game means a lot of people won't even give it a chance which is disappointing.
I knew after the first five minutes I was playing something different & special.

I guess I could give you a preview image of the next release. But how do I know you all really want one?

I meant the images in the OP. Imo, they don't show the best qualities of the gameI guess I could give you a preview image of the next release. But how do I know you all really want one?
