That's weird. There is no variable or label 'ch9LexieSex' in the game.

If you ignore the assert, you should be able to continue the game - or will it crash?
Cheers!

Thanks for coming around.

I can ignore it but it will crash in the following scene again. I cannot provide that Log right now. But will try later.

No need for log, the assert will be similar every time you encounter it.

It looks like some of your game files are from the old version 1.8, specifically the file 'achievements.rpy' (but maybe other files too). I can't really say how that happened. Anyway...

You can try:

1) I've attached the current correct 'achievements.rpy' file to this post, so you can try to put it into the 'ShardOfMySoul-1.11-pc/game' folder and see if it helps.

or, probably a better option:

2) Delete the whole game and install it from scratch (backup your 'ShardOfMySoul-1.11-pc/game/saves' folder first - saves are persisted on Windows, so you shouldn't need it - it's just a precaution).

Please go with option 2) if you don't mind downloading and extracting the whole game again. It should be a cleaner solution, because we don't know exactly what files are from an older version.

I hope that helps.

Thx Mate, that's a little strange as I just got that Laptop last week, installed a Linux on it and then your VN. So what I downloaded could not be older than a week. I guess I used the pixeldrain dl, as I always use that if available.

I will first try to dl from another sorce. If that does not Help I try your file.

THX anyway my friend.

Looking forward to the next update!

I checked the download links, they are the same as on my Patreon, correct for the newest version.

Hopefully the clean installation works. If not, then please save the game right after you ignore the assert and send me the file, and I'll have a look at it.

I used the Mega-DL now and it seems to be working without the issue. Thx for your quick help my friend.

Much appreciated!

Is it possible for the MC to hook up with both Hanna and Theresa at the same time? Hanna love route was easy. Staying friendly with Hanna while going after Theresa (and Lexie) was easy enough to pull off. Could've sworn I read a tease somewhere that maybe you could have Theresa on the side or maybe with Hanna too if you made certain choices I haven't reproduced.

Possible I'm entirely making that up or it's part of the Patreon version of the game. Regardless, having fun and looking forward to more updates. Thanks.

Hanna and Theresa
A far as I know, and I have played the AVN several times from the beginning, no, these girls are best friends. You can only choose one. Hanna is like the "good girl" route of the AVN, she becomes the FMC's official girlfriend and locks you out from the other LI's.

Technically you can also break up with her afterwards which eases Theresa conscience to make a move on MC instead. So the lock out isn't necessarily permanent.

But simultaneous romance with Hanna and Theresa isn't really possible, yes. Beyond some small "accidents" here and there.

New feature for chapter 13: save names

Separate post, because I don't want to clutter the next post too much (which will be an early access post with chapter info and changelog). This feature will be available starting with version 1.12 (chapter 13).

The main issue was that while some players would like naming the saves, others don't need it and don't want to be bothered by an extra dialog. My solution is that the feature is optional, and you can turn it on in the Preferences menu:



By default, save names are disabled, so you have to identify them only by screenshot, date, time, chapter, and game day. After you enable them, you will get this dialog every time you are saving a game:



If you want to add a name to an older save, you need to open it and resave it.

Also, there is a default Ren'Py feature that allows you to rename tabs on save pages. You can do it just by clicking on the tab name:



I hope this will be useful to some of you.

PS: Chapter 13 is being developed on pace - early access on May 26, release on June 7.

WOHOOOO! 4 days! Man this sounds really good. Love the blonde! It looks to me as you have improved the character art a little, could that be that she is a bit more detailed?
Yeah, I feel I'm slowly getting better, maybe. I hope that if you compare character or erotic art from later chapters to early chapters, you'd find it mostly better, at least a tiny bit. But I don't want to spend time going back and improving it, so I'll probably just leave it as it is. I'd rather just move on and create new stuff.

Everyone will be thankful for that. There are quite some high profile VNs here that made people wait for half a year or longer because they did a complete overhaul of early scenes to new standard to bring it on Steam. While I appreciate if a dev shows the effort to improve, stalling the story progress to redo the beginning I am personally not a fan of.
