Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5258] [Kompas Productions]

[Dragon Sins]

It's been about a year since the last time I touched this game. Was eager to finally see the Russian mafia content.

Well, fuck me for being excited.

Whoever thought the the random encounter with the Russian goons who shake you down for all of your on-hand cash was a good idea, needs to be taken out back and put down like Old Yeller. They hit me at least once every day. They make handling money a constant hassle. Every transaction requires a dozen extra steps because you need to hit the ATM before and after. Did you work during the afternoon, and now it's evening and you have a wad of cash on you? Hope RNG doesn't fuck you over between now and tomorrow, cause the bank is closed in the evening (and all day Sunday).

The game is forcing you to gamble, and it utterly fucks you over whenever you lose. There is no way to mitigate the encounter once it has been triggered. You're just trying to move someplace else in the game from the word map, and surprise, you're now broke! This can happen while you are mid-quest, ostensibly with an NPC traveling with you (e.g. putting up flyers with Eve), and it'll still trigger. The only way to effectively counter this fucking bullshit is save scumming. You need to Quick Save every time you enter the world map, so that you can Quick Load whenever RNG inevitably screws you over for that day.

It makes the time I'm spending with the game needlessly frustrating, and I hate it.

Uh, dude, yeah, they appear, but not all the time, I've been playing the game a while now 120 in game days, and they only showed up like 15 times if that, it's not that common of an encounter, it appears occasionaly, so that the game could remind you to save money at a bank, and afterwards a little bit into the story you don't even need money, I have 30,000 doillars laying in the bank, cuz I don't know what to do with it, it's not hard to avoid that situation, and I don't see why specificaly that part of the game is so frustrating...
Also, you do know that this game is made in Ren'Py, so if you don't want to lose money when the encounter shows up, all you have to do, is put your finger on the scroll wheel on your mouse and go back, problem solved, no need for constant quick save and stuff...

So that's one no. Anyone else?

The reason for my initial tongue-in-cheek post is that if you're trying to add a file to the APK I believe you need to have the appropriate application to add that patch to the APK (inside the x-game folder, I believe) and use jarsigner and zipalign tools. This is why there are many android users who are disappointed when they can't run the windows version in joiplay. Perhaps you could convince a volunteer in the Android Port Requests thread to add the file and repack.

put your finger on the scroll wheel on your mouse and go back

I agree with most of your post, though rollback is disabled by default in this game. They would need to figure out how to enable it or download srksrk 68's Naughty Tribute mod. And if they are going to do that, they could just use the cheat mode to add money by clicking on the wifi symbol on the in-game phone. Then they wouldn't have to worry about any $$$.

The whole point of playing the game is lost if you can just watch the scenes.

Most people here play the game because it's fun, being able to jerk off is a bonus.

Actually, I was thinking to add a timed possibility to escape the gooms, maybe based on your agility stats. But anyway, as already stated, my mod adds rollback, plus this only happens once in three days. Also, with my mod it only happens if you have more than 300 bucks with you, and never when you are on your way to a location where you can spend money.

Hope this takes the frustration from you.

Ummm, may I know which file is used to alter the script of the teachers in their respective classrooms? I've checked script>characters & script>locations>school, but I can't find any of their scripts. And don't worry, I am not amending the scripts for any external usage, it's only for me, myself and I.

This is not easily answered since everything is spread accross multiple files. Your best guess would probably be to pick a unique line of dialog and do a search over all rpy files. What specifically are you looking for? Maybe I can point you to that.

 

[BobaFatter]

I guess my laptop is not capable of doing that, I usually have to open a specific file on a notepad, and only then I have the option to search for a specific keyword or in this case, the sentence itself.
But anyways, the dialog is "It'll be a bit more... One on one type of training..."
Any help is deeply appreciated

You need to install Notepad++ and use the find function "Find in Files"

Notepad++ is the most useful application I have ever downloaded in my 30+ years of using computers.

Well that was not so easy. You should quote right. I found this line of text in file "\scripts\locations\school\school_hall\first_floor\french_classroom\dialogues.rpy":

Rump is behind bars and the Russian mob is taken care of.
Next up is finishing up the various NPC storylines, dating for the dance, etc.

Honestly, your question is like saying you last watched season 5 of a TV series that is now on season 10 and asking: "what's happened for the past 5 seasons?"
Here's the wiki for you to look through the changelog and walkthroughs to find out more:

Can anyone figure out why in the hell I crash 90% of time when I go to a random destination on android???

(...) android

Stop going to random destinations. Only go to planned ones.

That said - are you using the APK or trying to play the windows version on joiplay. If you are using APK, I assume you aren't using any mods/patches -- however, are you using any mods/patches if you are on joiplay (or trying to play a modded APK)?

Have you tried deleting and downloading again --- but from the developer's website (it's free) and seeing if it was just a bad download?

What device are you using, what are its specs (RAM, Graphics, etc)?

Any information is helpful - vague "Hey it crashes 90% of the time" is like calling up a mechanic and saying that your car won't run. Do you have gas? Is your battery dead? etc. Specificity may help us help you better.

Bro, no cap, this game has an outstanding artstyle, BUT THIS STORY REALLY SHOWS THAT YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY SORT OF EXPECTATION regarding porn games. HOLY SHIET! the catwoman porn parody has a better script! (no cap, some porn parodies are GOATED fr fr) also playing this game as a POC is cringe inducing aaaaaffffffff. The stereotypes are AMPED TO THE MAX for no reason! Doesn't help the story, doesn't advance the plot AT ALL, isn't interesting, it just makes you ask yourself the question "why is this there?". I dead-ass almost downloaded a save file just to not keep playing that story mode anymore.
In conclusion, ABYSSMAL story but GREAT FAP MATERIAL and at the end of the day, that's ALL that matters for a porn material (But Goddamn this story could really benefits from some improvements)

Yeah the stereotypes are a bit weird to be honest.
