I'll pull the hotfix and try to pick up a playthrough at stage 15 or so to see what happens. Both of us had no problems on Abella's apartment scene on our original playtest checkouts. I may also try to play with the stage 16 passage to move up the variable setting to earlier in the passage. What had me scratching my head when first looking at this was abellaLoc getting set while the other two variables weren't. I didn't really look to see if abellaLoc might have been set up earlier somewhere else.

This wouldn't be the first time I've seen a document load timeout screwing with variables in a game. The passage may seem simple, but browser garbage collection kicking in and Twine overhead can probably bite us in the ass. Browsers should warn us with a popup when a document seems to be taking too long, but I think that warning is a tripwire glued down by Russian engineers because it went off too often.

Every character was working fine Gia is during the evening Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, just talk to her.

Made everything in the game, guide works now, but Abella apartment is bugged as hell. Tried changing the variables:
SugarCube.state.variables.abellaReady=1
SugarCube.state.variables.abellaMax=1/2/3/4
But when I get the opportunity to enter the apartment the screen goes black, and can't progress anymore.

The game has great potential, I liked a lot the choice of models, and to name everyone of them, pitty there is too much grind and to few actual scenes. But there is some great promise here...

In the console you can set karleestory to 17 to continue. ''SugarCube.State.active.variables.karleeStory=17''
Then go to breakfast next day.
It seems I have to skip the storynumber every time when you need to speak with Abella in her appartment.

Every time I sleep I do get :


<<$if 18 is 16 && 0 is 1>>


Error: child tag <</if>> was found outside of a call to its parent macro <<if>>

beneath the ''Wake Up'' button.
I had a save where i still had to progress with Karlee's initial enchantment. Even with that save it was the same thing, Couldn't talk to Abella. i changed the value of Karleestory from 16 to 17 and checked. Still the same issue for me.

The point is the dev provided the 0.3 bugfix to fix Abella's interaction not initiating. And the new bugfix version still is causing the same issue.

I get the same error below the 'Wake up' button after extracting the Bugfix 0.3 that was provided yesterday.

After updating AbellaMax and getting the blank screen another poster mentioned, I went into the code again. At this point, we're sent to "Abella Story 1a". The first thing that happens is a check for "if $time is 1 &amp;&amp; $weekend is 0", which I think has an else of "elseif $time is 1 &amp;&amp; $weekend is 1", followed by another else of "elseif $time is 2 || $time is 3".

None of those are $time=4, which is when we actually are at this point in the game.

I could be reading those incorrectly. Parsing twine in notepad++ is frustrating.

The pictures download is a folder called "pictures" inside another folder called "pictures". Either it should be just the one folder called "pictures" or the parent folder should be renamed. This should clear up the confusion for a lot of users.



When I start charging the app on the office computer before nighttime and keep doing it, it never advances to next day. Meaning app charge can be farmed indefinitely.

Edit: Another thing is, when you enter sister's room to "attune" her and she kicks you out, the charge remains 0 and nothing is refunded.

Edit: the folder is called "images" ofc.

I just pulled his 0.3 download from here just now. I thought he caught this from my playtest, but he still has Images/Misc as Images/MISC in the zip. On Linux and other case sensitive filesystem platforms, you will want to move the 5 files in there to your Images/Misc folder.

Images didn't end up with an embedded Images. That sounds like you slipped up moving your 0.3 image content into where you had 0.2 unpacked. Your paste should have been at the same level so that you would be prompted to "write into" Images.

I just tried to charge the app in the office in the evening and it advanced to night. I tried again and it advanced to next day with a sleep cycle. So I couldn't reproduce your infinite farming with the latest hotfix.

Yep. Elliot is going to go sissy in his current arc but i have plans for him to have a trans arc as well.

I also have outlines for at least 4 other trans arcs before the game is done, and I'm sure I'll think up more before I'm finished.

If you have any T-Girls you'd like to point me at as ideas for models feel free to let me know. There are tons of T-Girls out there but the content they have tends to be kinda "vanilla". I burned through just about everything i could find of Ella Hollywood making my first game. When i make sissy characters I'll have no real choice but to use images of lots of different people cause no one performer has enough relevant content.

If i can I'd like to find some T-Girls with enough content for a public and private arch. Ideally including DP/Group scenes, stuff like that. Tough to find anyone that fits the bill. I'll fudge it if it comes to that, but I'd prefer not to as much as possible.
Natalie Mars is obvious. Lena Moon, Mia Maffia, Mia Isabella would likely cover a few different flavours.

There's a huge amount of content with Chanel Santini and Aubrey Kate but maybe they're too vanilla for you. Johanna Jet might be good if you're aiming for a trans milf-type.

Unfortunately I haven't played your game yet so don't know exactly what you're aiming for. I also realise you're probably aware of all the girls above but anyone with enough content for a game will be pretty famous already.

Ok, I found out what's really happening with the stage 16 variables for abella not getting set. There's actually two passages for stage 16. One gets used if you do the passage with Karlee in the dining room. The other is if you do it with her in her room. The passage used in the dining sets abellaReady. The passage in her room doesn't.

I went over that again. I had remembered it wrong. It's "learn how to code" that can be done indefinitely. Day advances only when you click out of the computer menu. This happens both at home and work computer.

This is with the latest hotfix applied. I am not sure about exact behavior now, doesn't seem like time of day when starting plays a role. Also not sure whether it happened each time for me, I did a bunch of fiddling with it.

I tried the Abella workaround. It lets me click knock, then it goes to a blank screen. I let it sit there for a good minute and nothing happens.

Sorry for the buggy state of this months update so far folks. I had fewer days off this month than I normally do so I had to scramble to get it out on time. I'm off today though so I was able to take a breath and give it a proper once over.

Given the guide a pass and it should make it more clear how to get the abella scenes.
Fixed the typo that was making the sleep workaround not work for setting the $abellaReady variable (even though I don't think it should be needed anymore. Phupdup caught what I think was the cause of this not setting right)
Changed the MISC folder to Misc (you might need to rename that folder in your directory too for them to merge correctly).

I'll get updated links off to the mods now. Here is a link to the bugfix version.

Still not working, doesn't recognize I have enough charge for Abella the first time you go to her apartment.

Tthe missing "knock" option, is because a variable is not yet set (abellaMax is missing and should have a value of 5).
For some reason, this is only defined in a scene after we knocked on the apartment.

SugarCube.State.active.variables.abellaMax=5

With Alex there is still only "chat" option available. And the questlog still only suggests looking for her in the afternoon.
