I see a lot of comments about the Harem, but there is no confirmation or not, so I will keep it simple DEV, Will there be a Harem or not?You can simply avoid it because you make all of Sophie's decisions.

You can have all the girls. But I would say there is no strict harem. Sometimes, you need to have a certain number of points with a character or make a specific choice to unlock a scene.I see a lot of comments about the Harem, but there is no confirmation or not, so I will keep it simple DEV, Will there be a Harem or not?
But don't we lose points with girls if we go after a different girl? Which for all intents and purposes means we can't really pursue all the girls at the same time.You can have all the girls.

There are some scenes you can't see if you have more points with a certain girl, but it's relatively rare. Most of the time, you can have them all. But yes, you're right.But don't we lose points with girls if we go after a different girl? Which for all intents and purposes means we can't really pursue all the girls at the same time.
Not to mention the fact that if you continue to choose Sophie over Eva, Eva will finally cut you off. lol So, I really don't see how the game is harem-ish. But I am enjoying it.There are some scenes you can't see if you have more points with a certain girl, but it's relatively rare. Most of the time, you can have them all. But yes, you're right.
Don't worry, she comes back later.Not to mention the fact that if you continue to choose Sophie over Eva, Eva will finally cut you off. lol So, I really don't see how the game is harem-ish. But I am enjoying it.
I'm currently only doing a solo save with Sophie. Unless of course you add Julie to the LI list. lolDon't worry, she comes back later.
I see quite a lot of changes & adds based on change log. Are there any continuation updates for this update?It would be better to start again, but it is not necessary.
Compared to the last version published here, there is more story content (in addition to all the changes).I see quite a lot of changes & adds based on change log. Are there any continuation updates for this update?
define s = Character("Sophie", color="#123456", image="sophie")
screen say(who, what):
...
if not renpy.variant("small"):
add SideImage() xalign 0.0 yalign 1.0
define config.movie_mixer = "voice"
Thanks for your message. Actually, I started out that way, so changing everything now would be a mess. I don't mind writing out the image display code — I type code fairly quickly, so it doesn't really waste my time.DavyCroquette: why wasting so many code lines for the side images if you could simply use renpy's own system there.
You only have to define this for each character like:
In screens.rpy there is the code that will show these images for each dialogue line:Code:define s = Character("Sophie", color="#123456", image="sophie")
Your script.rpy file has like 20k lines so far juggling these images on and off all the time with few actual dialogue between.Code:screen say(who, what): ... if not renpy.variant("small"): add SideImage() xalign 0.0 yalign 1.0
With renpy's internal SideImage system, you could save so much time to focus more on scenes and dialogue writing.
The game "Haley's Story" is one example where this system is used if you need some pointers.
If you like to use more than one side-image, it would be still much less work with several char-definitions, like sophieBig/sophieLittle/sophieNew and use these as different speakers.
Your scripts will gain much more overview with less scrolling involved.
I also recommend to separate character and variable definitions to different files, and maybe even each chapter. That could possibly improve savegame-compatibility if major revamp changes are done on single chapters in the future. I'm no renpy expert either, but learned a thing or two from digging through scripts since the last hundred games.
Btw, if you like to separate the movie volume from music then use following line:
replace "voice" with "sfx" if you prefer the sound volume slider for movies.Code:define config.movie_mixer = "voice"
I just wanna help.
Thank you so muchUtterly fucking brilliant!! Can't wait for the updates. Seriously: well done!!
very good questionWhy call the game 'Sophie: The Girl from the Zone' when you kill her off on the boat? WTF
Well, in my save, everyone is still alive from the boat.very good question
Let just say that in this game, everything you think you know at a moment may turn out to be completely wrong a bit later. Or not. Or maybe...Why call the game 'Sophie: The Girl from the Zone' when you kill her off on the boat? WTF
But, are you even sure they were living at the first place?Well, in my save, everyone is still alive from the boat.![]()
