Hey man, no problem. As I said I realy like your game, its something new.
Im going to go through all the different routes now and will keep my eyes open for any bugs.
BTW I feel like this plays alot like a sandbox game but with an end - How does the game determine when the end happens? Is there a simple way of editing a few variables so I can just keep going? Like a message that says "End of main content" but after it you can still play?
So I'll start with your question about editing variables.... No, don't!
This is something that should never be done because if you ask this question you know the development. and so you know that if the same variable you add, appears later in the game, the program will just stop, big bug.
Now it's not just a bug, it's a bear.
Most often modifying a tag to fix a bug only makes the problems worse.
That said, on the bug that concerns us, it's just because you got to the end of the office route available in this version, I just forgot to do the rest, I forgot a few days.
It's simple, if the office started on November 1 and we're on December 1 and we can go to the office 5 times in a week, then I have to do 20 scenes for every available day, my mistake was to do only 18 or 19 for example, oops.
so even if you modify the code to avoid the bug, it's useless because there's nothing after. the bug is that when you ask to go to the office the path doesn't come anywhere.
Thank you for being patient and continuing to play, it's nice to dig into the game, as you've already seen, I'm a little dizzy and so I really need help to improve any bugs.
For your question about the sandbox....
Yes it's a sandbox, the idea is not to create something that's complicated, you don't have to find how to unlock a route like in many games, here you just have to choose the route you want to take, you can't play everything in a single save, which creates a replayability...
when you have finished the game you can play Santirosa again and make another choice, you will not play the same way and you will have plenty of new things to discover, re-playability.
There are still some gameplay in the game, if you play basketball, volleyball, surfing, you will see that you can't win easily, you have to train a lot and just because you beat a team in December doesn't mean you will still beat it in January, the teams evolve, you have to train and understand their game style to beat them.
The classes are important, at the end of the two years Elpidia will take her exam, I plan to create a real exam with randomly asked questions about the classes that were available during the two years.
the homework requested by lupe valdez and Zita Mansilhas count for the grade.
The routes have no end, when the last summer after the exam is over the game will stop, Elpidia will say goodbye.
It is impossible for you to go to the end of all the routes, if you concentrate on certain routes you will be able to see all the content but give yourself a full view of one route prevents you from seeing what is happening on another route.
as an example I'll take the maid route.
If you go to Mansilhas every time you can't see the duong or Molano route so you will see all the content on the mansilhas route but nothing on the duong and Molano routes... it's the same for all the routes in the game.
If you stay Saturday afternoons in Santa Marta to surf, you can't go to the cheerleaders, you have to make choices and create your own story, you do what you want and not what I impose on you.
There is still a story in Santirosa, the main story focuses on Lupe, Marisol, carolina, Paula, Minha, there is a lot to derive but the story of Santirosa and Elpidia will be the one you decide to live.
You will soon have in the game a meeting with Amelia, she Elpidia's friend, she sometimes eats together at lunchtime... this route with Amélia is very large and occupies a lot of Elpidia's time, you'll be able to follow this route at will, this route can even take you all your time, no more school, no more surfing, volleyball, basketball or other, but it is your choice, you do what you want when you want.
Groups of friends will set up in the game and depending on what you want for Elpidia you will choose to date some girls more than others.
To make a mini spoil not very serious, if you want Elpidia to be very slutty, date Amelia, if you want Elpidia submissive, date Enola or Tiinja, if you want a romantic story date a girl you do not yet know named Octavia.
The future of Elpidia.... you have to create her future, you want her to be a pornstar, director, office employee, cleaning lady, businesswoman, professional athlete... and many others will be proposed, it's your choice.
It's not a sandbox, it's free of everything.
