Sorry to hear about your mother. Hope everything works out.
Game is very interesting, bizarre mix of From, Silent Hill, Twin Peaks, Twilight. Unsure if this has been posted already but I found an error when

You're not far off on the influences. Except Twilight. Nope!
The Roy error is fixed. I think I posted an HTML here that fixed it but if I didn't poke me and I'll put one up.
Dear Wendy,

If you're on mobile I've heard some phones have a security setting that disables HTML files from accessing other files on your phone. I'm sure that can be turned off but I don't know how to do it as I don't game on my phone. If you're on PC or Mac I have no idea why that would happen. Did you download the full zip and unzip it somewhere? If you just grabbed the HTML it wouldn't have the images in it.
umm playing the fix in april 2023, get caught when Anya and amber broke in.
Ray blackmails MC and wants to meet MC at 8pm on Monday.
However I got no key of room 6 in my inventory when the the game says
" He presses an object into your hand and grabs your elbow quickly escorting you from his home. You stumble outside and look down at your hand. You're holding a key for a motel room judging by the tag hanging from it "
On next Monday at 8pm if i go to BNB it says
" You don't currently have a reason to reenter the Bed and Breakfast as you are no longer staying here. "
if I go to the motel it says
" You don't really have anything to do here right now. "
should i add the pick up playerinventory motel room 6 key code to all those switch case that mentioned Ray pressed an object into your hand but without actually adding the key to your inventory?

also on that Saturday event, set $events.rayAttractionDay to $gameDate.getDay() +2 actually sets rayAttractionDay to 8 and it will never trigger because $gameDate.getDay() is 1 on Monday and they will never match
if you want to set the blackmail event to work on Mondays, you need to set $events.rayAttractionDay to ($gameDate.getDay() +2)%7
it seems like you have used this " set datingDay to getDay() + 2 " more than once. this will cause trouble for events on Fridays and Saturdays because getDay() + 2 would then give you 7 and 8 while getDay() has a range of 0 to 6
(20 - $gameDate.getHours() ) lte 2 and (20 - $gameDate.getHours() ) gte 0, also for this line it seems the event would happen between 6pm to 8pm, is this the intended trigger time?

Thanks for this feedback. I'll have to look this over and work on it. Assuming your fixes work which I think they will then all is well though it won't fix the issue for players who are already past that point.
I probably should tie the dates to the total game days variable I use instead of the days of the week. That'd make my life a lot simpler, I just didn't think about it at the time.

So, where do things stand? I have one last event to write before the release. It will require 2-3 new "sets" being introduced into the game as the event is in the previously unseen Tisdale manor! There is a possibility of 1-2 sex scenes in this event depending on if you work for the Mayor or not and if you get caught during your "mission" in the manor.
Assuming all goes well I really, really hope to have the update out this month.
News about my mother that might impact the update. Spoilered for those who don't want to know:
Anyway, on to something less grim, how about some previews?

I'm genuinely unsure if it is appropriate to use any reaction emoticon here, so...just wanna say thanks for continuing your work & I am very excited for the new update. In regards to the burden you have to carry I wanna express my sympathy and that obviously everything related to SoSF is a secondary concern. Despite everything I continue to hope your private situation takes a turn for the better or in the very least that there will be a gentle end to the uncertainty and pain.
Best wishes and take care.

I won't lie, the stuff going on is what has made this update feel like it's taking forever. Some days I throw myself into the game because it helps me not think about stuff and, well, I got my artistic side from my mother. Other days, it's all I can do to watch Youtube videos and just sort of...zone out all day long. The latter doesn't help much with my day job either.
That is very relatable, the sort of situation you are in doesn't help with anything, let's be real. So anything that helps you deal with it is fair game.

Yes, do what you need to cope with the situation.
If working on the game help by keeping your mind busy, go for it.
But given what you are living at this moment, the game can wait.
Just want to pass along my deepest condolences for your situation. I went through a similar situation recently, and I know how awful it is. Make sure to take time for yourself, be kind to yourself, and to accept help from family and friends. It is so shitty but it will get better, amigo, I promise.
I'm really sorry to hear about your mum. Here, I'm lending you my strength.
Add me to those who are giving you and your mom comforting thoughts/peaceful vibes/prayers during this time. So sorry she has to through all of that.

So, I realized when looking at this that I'm a bit of an idiot sometimes. First, your solution is exactly right. But secondly, it's not needed. I just need to set that variable to 1 and call it a day.
The whole reason there is a calculation at all is because in very early versions of the game the start just yeeted you straight into the sandbox and you could wander around at will. I had hints to go see Lisa's parents but it didn't happen automatically like it does now so I had to do that as a calculation to take into account I didn't know what day a player might visit them on.
After I redid the opening to the game to make it more directed, I never updated that code. When I went to set up Ray's blackmail on Saturday I just...uhhh...copied and pasted my old code without thinking about it. So now I just explicitly set it to 1. I also added a fix in for those that have it still at 8 that would happen during sleep, though a person would need to replay from the start of last update to get it.
And yes, 6-8pm is the time I planned on. I wanted players to be able to show up a bit early if they wanted.
