Ren'Py The Fixer [v0.3.4.0] [Sam_Tail]

[Adlai]

The MC is a teenager, a virgin, who clearly has never had sex before. Currently too dumb and needs to go to school and relearn everything. Can't even defend herself against a school bully etc. etc. This goes a bit beyond of being "non-threatening", doesn't it? Sounds almost as if they want to use a child. And they clearly want to employ her as a "fuck toy", which I thought was quite clear from the Haven infiltration mission. As I said, something is really fucked up about this game's premise.

the MC is actually older than she appears. Part of the plot and premise is that she got a body replacement (as in, her mind was actually placed within a body that was optimized for infiltration.). But I do agree that the institute doesn't do enough to prepare her for the job.
Or do anything to prepare her, really. I'd excuse it if they mostly had you running milk runs, but the haven infiltration is somewhat important to the groups survival as it mainly revolves around looking for a defector with a stolen artificial body with unknown motivations.

A virgin run is possible, and aside from getting money, isn't especially difficult.

Sam_Tail regarding lag and performance issues, i get it basically instantly when i start advancing text quickly/skipping. try that on your end. never had this issue with other renpy games where i skip basically everything instantly.

I noticed performance drops whenever the floaty desire hearts appear. usually when I play my GPU stays at base speed but when the hearts show up it instantly jumps to 30%load and when I start to skip my 3080ti hits 90% load easily.
and when I run the game at fullscreen it gets really weird because the framerate just dies and goes from 144fps down to 12-13 which in my case is a g-sync issue because if I turn it off in the driver I get stable 144FPS again.
memory I don't seem to have a problem with it started at 430ish MB and after a few hours was at 560ish MB.

Someone is seriously lacking in Christmas cheer.

Thanks for the bug reports, I will have a release out soon fixing up all the reported issues.

Is there a way to get to the truck stop? For some reason that location isn't available to me.

Truck stop was removed for now since there is no content there. Will be readded later once the prostitution and diner/motel jobs are added.

Who can apply bodywritings as tattoos? I somehow managed to get out of Haven with ass counter permanent tattoo, but can't find out how it was applied.

Didn't have time to add the tattoo shop yet so can't be added by Sammy, only by someone else. Will be added soon.

Has anyone made up a full list of all the gameplay related perks and how to get them?

Can't wait too see more bully content with Shane MC and Marcus. Would be great if Shane and Marcus actually do what the things they say to MC would be nice too if we could see them on the weekends maybe a random chance at the lake/ beach since that area seems to be working now along with other school mates you see.

They already can as part of their most extreme events. They pull Sammy into the toilets and charge a queue of people.

Okay, first the positive: this update has been a lot of fun, I'm very impressed with everything you've added this update, and impressed with the game in general.

But I do wonder why the NPCs are able to terminate pregnancies? It says in the game that that's illegal, and as far as I can tell Sam can't do it. I was looking forward to seeing the NPC's baby counts go up, but every time they've gotten pregnant they've terminated it. I know you mentioned they won't keep it unless it was on purpose, but as I said the game lore says that shouldn't be possible for them to do (at least not easily).

Lore reasons aside, the reality is I just have a pregnancy kink and like the thought of seeing the girls racking up their baby count, lol. So I'm curious to know what the reason for how it works now is, and if there will be changes in the future.

At any rate, keep up the good work! I support you financially when I can, the game is just that good. Looking forward to what comes next!

NPCs have a rareish chance to pick up morning after pills or abortion pills as they live their life. If they end up pregnant while having one in their inventory, they will take it. They don't always have one though so...

I love the customization in this game but, the wardrobe desperately needs more shades of pink and bimbo/gyaru style clothing.

Pick what colour you want.

Uhh I understand if you don't want to do this but could you add some AB/DL content please? the set up when talking to emily is perfect for it especially when she calls you 'little sis'

No, never.

Hello
I don't know if it's a bug but the female character stats show ???.

You need to get to know the person more before their stats will show. This is not your stats with her, but her stats with other people so it's not something Sammy will know right away.

Hmm, partially agree and not, i wouldn't say random clothing sales are that bad (we play as a girl and we ALL KNOW regardless of the country of residence or nationality how girls LOVE [not "like"!] spending hours shopping, ha-ha). What i see as bad in such a system is that a player without cheats cannot find out at all what clothes are already realized and whether all the realized clothes player can find at the market.

The wandering mechanic is preparation for something a bit more later. There will be smaller vendors selling whatever they specialise in in their respective location and will have a few stalls for other bits. The wandering will be for getting good deals and lower prices but with rng involved. Poor Sammy will wander the market for deals while wealthy Sammy will just direcly buy the more overpriced stuff.

Will be something that get's expanded on soon once I get the other vendors in.

I agree on most of what you said. Except that the game at it's core used to be about a girl who is/becoming a fixer, a problem solver. As it stands Sammy has too many problems of her own to even begin solving anyone else's believably. Dev seems to have forgotten about the whole "fixer" part of the game called The Fixer.

Dev hasn't forgotten anything. Dev has a whole game to make and needs to flesh out all aspects of it. Also dev put up a vote on what people wanted to see more out of Main story content, other faction content and sandbox/life content. Sandbox content won by a large margin, so here we are.

I see that coats have been added in the changelog. However I don't see any coats as an option. Even the school uniform coats are gone; it's just a white blouse. I used the cheat to see if I can find it, but still not there.

Ah mistake in the changelog. I added coats as it's own slot but didn't have time to properly draw them so it ended up removed and pushed back into the customisation update. Will be added soon.

I noticed performance drops whenever the floaty desire hearts appear. usually when I play my GPU stays at base speed but when the hearts show up it instantly jumps to 30%load and when I start to skip my 3080ti hits 90% load easily.
and when I run the game at fullscreen it gets really weird because the framerate just dies and goes from 144fps down to 12-13 which in my case is a g-sync issue because if I turn it off in the driver I get stable 144FPS again.
memory I don't seem to have a problem with it started at 430ish MB and after a few hours was at 560ish MB.

Floaty hearts seemed like the culprit since the slowdown seems to happen when the hearts are there. But removing them helped very little. Unfortunately as mentioned before, this doesn't happen to me so it's very hard for me to test out solutions. I have tried on multiple devices and nothing. It's something I will keep looking into but tbh right now I am a bit at a loss.

People who resort to personal insults when they have no reason to, do have mental issues, e.g. you. On the other hand, by insulting me for no reason, you have given me a perfectly valid reason insult you back in anyway I want.



The Haven mission is the only thing remotely resembles to anything that this game claim to be and nothing else has been added to the game in that regard in the past TWO FUCKING YEARS.



How conveniently you skip over the "visual novel" part when it suits you, not to mention the title of the game. Neither GL, nor this one is a sandbox game. There's absolutely no "game" in them unless you follow through the available content. The freedom of doing whatever you want in a game, is completely different than the freedom of not doing anything. Go learn about what a

is before lecturing other people.



You should first look into a mirror before trying to find faults in other people.

If you don't like the game literally just go play something else?

The dev definitely seems to be reaping the classic consequence of being engaged with the fanbase: getting pulled this way and that. I know the patrons often vote for more development of the simulation part of the game, but at some point the dev needs to decide to make their own decisions for the game's direction or they risk losing control of the project entirely.

Fan engagement is pretty much always a double-edged sword, and a balance needs to be found.

This.

It's clear as day that the Dev has 'lost the plot' and puts further content up for vote, which they've admitted themselves. Inevitably this will lead to having to deal with incoherent narrative or even fucked up core mechanics of the game. What those who mistake a discussion forum for a fanclub seem to fail to notice is the progressive derailment of the initial premise. What started as a quest/mission driven kinetic novel featuring a secret agent with a male mind incarnated into a female body, who - one might assume from such a combination - would perhaps use their feminine physical charms and male perverted (or at least kink-aware) brain to get things done is now supposed to be a poor attempt - I'm sorry, I have to say it - at a 'girl' life sim, which at the moment is an impregnation simulator with school bullying and junk collecting thrown in for good measure.

Just to give yet another example of losing creative control over the project and having no idea where to go until the next supporter voting session have a look at the lake, which was a neglected area for a very long time and now has 10 sections, if I'm counting correctly: entrance, pier outside the entrance, changing rooms, secluded cove, beach area 1, 2, 3, volleyball area, under the pier and the actual water in which your paperdoll just stands. Apart from sunbathing, collecting shells and playing volleyball there is nothing else to do there. Why then does this part of the town has now the largest number of spaces filled with nothing? The usual explanation will of course be 'more stuff to be added in future updates'. As always. And when it's eventually done and the most voted for sex scenes with dolphins and tentacle rape have been added the fanbase will then retcon us into believing this has always been a lewd beach manager / lifeguard simulator game and if you don't like it, then shut up and don't play.

I'd be more inclined to believe you if it didn't feel like I was playing two separate characters at times. Doing the Fixer quest Sammy seems to be an entirely different person. This isn't about sandbox vs story content, it's the fact that it's really inconsistent. And RNG can fuck right off. If you're plan was for the market to have more expensive, but readily available clothes why didn't you just keep the mall, but adjust the prices there? Have the market be cheaper rng, and the mall have everything but more expensive.

Is the mall not accessible anymore? It's been a while since I played, and it was nice having all the stores in one location. Having to play games with the market hoping to see something you want is a pretty big buzz-kill.

No. As someone who's been following the project for a while - most of what's been worked on/voted on was planned to be put in at some point, and most of the same basic elements that were in the original versions are still here. The votes were just to decide the order of what's being worked on. This was never a kinetic novel, this was always a life sim. Frankly I think you're either making shit up or thinking of some other game.

nope, the mall is gone but the market stuff will be improved in the future.

 

[Gibberish666]

The whole conversation from the past few pages is just funny to me because I know if SamTail focused on developing the main story instead of the life-sim elements people would be complaining about the lack of life-sim elements.

Well duh, it's impossible to make everyone happy. And gamers are particularly whiny. I know I can be whiny at times.

 

[Nutting The Rueful]

Moving on, I wonder

Well duh, it's impossible to make everyone happy. And gamers are particularly whiny. I know I can be whiny at times.

I think it is just along the lines of sore loser, no? xD I mean we hate to lose and always give some lame excuse when lost. Except we don't exactly take it too far and just go "ah never mind".

[domina1911]

I kinda like the character creation thing
but stat decay is just too much, to the point it's un-grindable after the first week boost
and if you stop grinding you just become a pile of flesh within 100 days.
also game contains too much of useless parts like the bus transition, apartment elevator, and hallway (I mean, it won't annoy me this much if it's avoidable)

 

[anon1010]

By default desire is capped at 100. You can see when hovering over the perk that male origin increases desire cap by 300. Being a virgin lowers desire cap by 50. This is where 350 came from. Replacing the male start perk removes the 300 increase making it 100 lowered by virgin to 50. After losing virginity you probably had something raise desire cap by 10 to get 110.

ah ok thanks for the clarification, thing is that just kind of seems backwards to me which is what caused confusion. The male origin dialogue seems to be adjusting to the new body with a certain level of reluctance and you even start with a much lower body confidence stat right? It just seemed natural that with the male origin the mc would be more reluctant/hesitant to try having sex as a female and would later break out of that shell and become much more comfortable thus raising their overall desire limit.

Again thanks for clarifying, it just seems backwards to me that you LOSE desire after starting to get comfortable in the new body.

Bro, stop being THAT guy

I will ALWAYS be that guy, but don't get me wrong, I really do like the game. That's why I'm pointing out the more contentious aspects of it (at least imo). If I didn't believe this game had the vast potential that it does, I wouldn't even bother.
