VN Ren'Py The Cure for Madness [Ch. 7] [GrumpyGranny]

[GokutheG]

I just played this game for the first time and would like to say that the mystery is intriguing I'm just dissapointed that the only character besides Alice that I really like dies.

I'd like to report what I think is a bug. Towards the end of chapter 6 Alice dreams of having sex with the bf and his friend even tho that didn't happen in my game.

uhhh.... it's more of a fem protag game....so I guess stuff like cheating is there but it 'feels' through and throughout like fem protag.

So why's there a male protagonist tag, also is ntr the focus of this game?, is it avoidable?, although if it's really a female protagonist game it wouldn't matter if ntr is the focus or not.

if i remember correctly, there's a a few short scenes where you make decisions as her boyfriend so that's probably why it also has that tag.....but 95% of the game it's playing as the girl.

In the new chapter, I don't really understand why the macho builder guy exists - the dynamic with him seems exactly the same as with Leon (sleazy guy says lech-y things to Alice and despite herself she likes it). Seems like it'd be better to have someone that sparks different dynamics (like someone who's actually impressive or attractive, so she's attracted despite trying to be a good girlfriend)

Although I see differently some of the mentioned points (both of the guys being unattractive), Leon's and Tony's "routes" will be very different.

Okay, interesting. I do think you seem to have planned things well, and there's a definite shape to how it's unfolding. Looking forward to seeing what happens

Respectfully I disagree in the difference. Construction worker is lecherous, but he's not particularly brutish or forceful upfront. Contrasting this with Leon, Carlos, Frank, they all have their different styles. Leon is more of the classic "fratboy seductionist", while Carlos and Frank each have their own angles - so they don't blend together for me.

I'd think the earlier Leon scenes perfectly fufilled your last sentence of "attracted despite trying to be a good girlfriend". The nighttime threesome was the penultimate example of this; she's confused and resistant at first, yet then Dave is amazed to see her enjoying his caddish behavior.

Overall I think he's written a good blend of antagonist personalities, perhaps the only one that's missing is the "charming romantic nice guy" - perhaps this is what you were getting at... but I'm fine with the current cast as long as he develops their stories more (though Carlos has probably had more than his share of screentime at this point).

Yeah, for some reason, script.rpy contains define ch4_threesome = True, which causes the flashback to trigger even if you chose Emily

Good to know. Guess that's just something that the dev will fix with the new chapter.

Yeah, you can't use define variable_name if you want it to be remembered in saves. When you use define, it tells Ren'Py to use the default value every time someone opens the game. It's not saved in your save files.

Basically, define should be use for things that are constant and default should be used for things you want to be saved.

 

[0000000nowhere]

Here’s a fix for Chapter 6 (and Chapter 6 only), tested with 3 saves and walkthrough mod compatible; extract in /game/scripts.

I decided to look further into this out of curiosity since I’m still learning Ren’Py, and from what I can understand, the problem comes from the new chapter using a separate executable but not forcing you to import a save, which meant the dev had to set some default values. But since Option A is apparently considered “canon” and choosing Option B in Chapter 4 doesn’t set A to False, you end up with conflicting values when booting up Chapter 6. I guess you could fix this cleanly by making these mutually exclusive in Chapter 4 and/or Chapter 6.

If anyone’s in contact with the dev, feel free to let them know.

 

[GrumpyGranny]

Thanks, you all are right ofc, it is define vs default issue. No idea why I did that, probably because character definitions are right above that or something like that.

That's part of it, but even with default, you still end up with ch4_threesome = True every time for the reasons mentioned in my previous post.

I think it wouldn't be an issue if they were properly defined (or rather defaulted) in ch5/arc1. In your script, you set it to false, which is correct, but to make it work as intended, the variables need to be set before ARC2_STATS_SETUP.

Yeah, that's just a temporary fix until the next update.
