Ren'Py Straitened Times [v0.61.2] [HRelease]

[Snugglepuff]

Is the latest available incest patch stable for v0.61.1?

Yes, but you're better off getting 0.61.2 instead (patch still works).

The genuine game build 0.61.2 has 'gui/overlay/photo_frame.webp'. It's your repack error

 

[cosimar]

Save file from V0.60.1. THX

Just copy walthrough mod from previous game and its solve the error.

 

[RickyBobby47]

any games like this

With this level of freedom, there's really no other game.

With that being said, I am a pretty big fan of "Come home". Even though it doesn't really have the level of freedom that Straitened Times affords the MC.

However it ticks quite a few of the same kink boxes that Straitened Times does.

 

[lancekro]

any games like this

It depends.
Your question is extremely vague.

Are you talking about :
-gameplay
-kinks
-graphical style
-quantity of content
-other stuff that I'm not thinking of right now

Or any combination of the above ?

[crossssxxx598]

No more error. Thank you so much !

 

[crossssxxx598]

It's simple. You had a walthrough mod (or something simular) and it's part of your saves now. You need to add it again or emulate it's existance

just tried it and no more error. Thank you so much

The difference between v0.61.1 and v.61.2

 

[RickyBobby47]

The difference between v0.61.1 and v.61.2

"v0.61.2
Fix: unsupported operand types 'NoneType' and 'int' during school classes
Fix: animations open error (for those of you who uses mods with 'PDebug')
Fix: additional animations existence checks on load"

And here it is people. My effort to make the guide to of all guides for this game. Though time will tell how good this one actualy is.

What's in this guide?

- General info about the game
- Where to find consumables
- General help with basic stuff
- Pictures of every girls' topics

And of course:

A FULL STEP BY STEP WALKTROUGH / GUIDE FOR EVERY GIRL'S ONE ON ONE AND GROUP SEX ROUTES!

Some extra notes for this guide:
- A group sex route will always be listed for every participating girl
- Events like getting both your commune and Anna's commune to meet and forgive each other is listed under multiple girls who have content locked behind this event
- Bugged routes (Like Kate's watching TV route) that give you errors have been excluded for this version, but will return if and when i get access to the bgfic versions
- I'll try to update the guide with each new content release and mark what's new on the last page of the guide and in the respective routes where they belong (so everyone immediately knows where the new content is)
- not a lot of pictures were used for this guide, because it already took me way too fucking long to get this thing done

Final notes:
PLEASE give me feedback on how this guide looks and feels. I want to improve and perfect it so no one ever gets stuck again

Hope you everyone enjoys this <3

v0.60.1
GUIDE CHANGELOG
- Added some content i missed last time (Darna + Kate route)
- Steps of routes that were bugged in v0.59.1 have been fully put in and are market in a light green in both the table of content and in the route itself (you'll see the girl that had bugged content marked on page 1 and when going to that girl see all steps that were previously bugged marked in that same colour)
- Added new content of version 0.60.1 and marked this both in the table of content and in the routes of the girls in question in a lightpurple (so it's easy to see what was new and how to get it)
- Added internal hyperlinks so you can go to the girl you want with 1 simple click on page 1
- added the girls' occupation or rolein the table of content (for example: Brigitte Larsen (Cheerleader)

Here it is, the step by step guide/ walktrough v0.61.2

GUIDE CHANGELOG
- Added new content of version 0.61.2 and marked this both in the table of content and in the routes of the girls in question in a lightpurple (so it's easy to see what was new and how to get it)
- Added a few extra notes to steps that have to be repeated in order to unlock content (sometimes this was not needed as the steps themselves are repeats enough)


WILL BE ADDED NEXT VERSION
- The new content of v0.62.1 (when it releases, duh)
- more accuracy updates if i can find any
- Court case route will be fully added when it's fully fleshed out. Right now it's not at all worth itdoing that so i've purposefully avoided including it in my guide

FEEDBACK ALWAYS WELCOME

quantity of content and gameplay like sandbox

If those are the only criteria you care about then there are quite a lot of games.
To name few :
-Photo Hunt
-HS Tutor
-F.I.L.F.

And those are just the most similar that come to mind, all renpy VN type sandbox.
If you don't mind games that are a bit more VN and a bit less sandbox gameplay then there are a lot more.
If you don't mind RPGM or first person 3D games that still qualify as sandbox then I could name a few more.

Add
Milfy City
Desert Stalker

Desert Stalker wasn't really my thing so I didn't play much of it when I tried it a while back. But as far as I remember it does NOT have any sandbox gameplay.
But I have to admit that it looks good and is well written, so yeah, anyone who likes this kind of setting and gameplay will probably like it.

As for Milfy City, it was a pretty good game when it was actively worked on. But at some point the dev abandoned it and then came back with an "update" with the only purpose of slapping a "completed" tag on the game.
But the game is not completed and still has a lot of placeholders.
On top of that, the last update featured forced ntr on one of the main LIs when the game was originally focused on harem and incest with no ntr anywhere.
So, no I'm not recommending that game to anyone.

 

[Shark_inA-chiar]

Is there still random events that just doesn't happen still?? i remember this happing in earlier builds and i stopped

 

[RickyBobby47]

Is there still random events that just doesn't happen still?? i remember this happing in earlier builds and i stopped

Yes, but guides tell you about it, and you just keep reloading right before the RNG to increase your chances at successfully attaining the event.

Modern game design in a nutshell.

 

[EnigmaticChap]

In the clothing competition in alternative room, do I have to let Kate win or Lisa?

 

[oh45]

Yes, but guides tell you about it, and you just keep reloading right before the RNG to increase your chances at successfully attaining the event.

That's not usually going to work with this game as the generally used pseudo-random number sequence is generated ahead of time and thus will find the same values each time you roll back or save/reload. Some RNG do not use that sequence, like the casino, where rolling back will get different numbers.

If you're in the event yes.

I'll give an example, like you know how you're supposed to meet the gym teacher downtown at night? It's like between 21:00~03:00 the event triggers, so i would go downtown and save there at 21:00.

Well that particular event is like double RNG.

So first you have to trigger the RNG of her approaching you while drunk, then you have to get lucky, and have her ask you to go to the gym.

I just kept reloading my save file until eventually the event played out like it should.

Had I not kept rolling the dice I may not have triggered that event for the next 100+ days (in game).
