That's Rump, the former mayor of the town. Been in the game for over 6 years. He has a scene in the mall bathroom stall.
This can't be true, 6 years ago the first build of this game was published and rump was not one of the first chracters, if i remember correct he is in STS since 4 years same goes for his daughter & wife.

Perhaps it was at least 5 years, I apologize for my poor subtraction - my first thought it was during the 2016 election - but within the year after. The point is, he's been in the game since early in development (at least 5 of the 6 years it's been in "official" development).

The secret scene of him in the washroom was added August 2017.

And his home was added on the map by the end of 2017 (though not accessible).

I was thinking Rump's campaign scene on the main floor of the mall came earlier in development (is it even still in the game?).

I have a little problem (unfortunately of my own making). I was fiddling around with the render settings to try and make the game smoother (Shift+G) and I seem to have broken the game. Now when I launch it, it plays the music at the main menu but all I get is a black screen. Is there any way to revert these settings back to default? I've tried deleting the "Summertime Saga" folder in the Renpy folder located in Appdata>Roaming and even re-downloaded the game. None of the above steps have worked so far. Any help would be appreciated.

You say you used Shift+G initially, and you used a setting that caused a black screen. You don't mention if you tried this when you restarted the game:
  • Holding down SHIFT when restarting
  • Press Shift+G after restarting
so you could reset it.

I tried holding Shift while loading the game but it doesn't start. I get an Error message box Error.jpg

and when I click wait, it just keeps on showing this error message. Even restarted my PC. No Bueno.

Using spoiler to hide wall of text.

I'll try and answer to the best of my ability.
1. I'm using the Naughty Tribute Mod but I changed the settings while it was active and yes it was installed correctly as per the instructions on its page and it was working fine.
2. I tried Shift+G while on the black screen as well as tried holding down Shift while launching the game. Both did not work.
3. I changed the render option to "angle" mode instead of automatic and changed the framerate to 30 instead of default. I have a very OLD laptop (Intel i7 2630QM 2 GHz processor, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 2GB AMD Radeon 6770m GPU)
4. The preferences.rpy is the same as yours.
5. Since it was the same there was no editing required.

Thanks for your help so far and for being patient :)

Based upon what I am reading, you are attempting to restart Summertime Saga while including the Naughty Tribute Mod.

If that is the case - delete your current installation of everything Summertime Saga, including the Mod. Unpack the v0.20.15 again. Do not load the Mod. Try to restart. If it works, exit. Unpack Naughty Tribute Mod and add to the game. Try restart. When troubleshooting, you should always go back to the most basic version of whatever it is you are testing and then adding additional parts one at a time.

If that is not the case - and you are attempting to restart the game in its basic/vanilla form. I don't know what you've done. Sorry.

I'll try it again as you said and will get back to you about any further developments.

You stopped playing 5 years ago? You should start a new playthrough from day one. Or just wait until 2023 when the Tech Update is released and start from day one then.
