Ren'Py The Headmaster [v0.16.4.3] [Altos and Herdone]

[Phil5k]

The Headmaster - 5 Year Anniversary

(posted on Discord by the Dev Team)

On this date in 2019 the very first playable version of The Headmaster was unleashed upon an unsuspecting world. And here we are, with the 15th release already out for nearly 4,000 patreon subscribers, weighing in at almost 572,000 words of dialogue, plus ~125,000 lines of non-dialogue code, ~15,000 images, and over 1000 video loops.

Many congratulations and even more thanks to Altos and Herdone - it is super impressive to have sustained this effort for five years with only 2 full-time people and a couple handfuls of volunteers, growing the game content AND the technical capabilities AND the entertainment value AND the subscriber base all at the same time. Happy Launch-day!

This image is a gift from the dev team that supports the full-timers, on behalf of all the supporters, players and fans

This issue occurs from a save that was made with the 0.14.1beta release back in May 2023. It was patched the next day. Saves from 0.14 patreon release or 0.14 public release will not have this bug.

You can solve this by clicking rollback, and then open the console using shift-o and paste or type:

sc = Character('Miss Chang', color=("#98FB98"))

press return
press esc to close the console
immediately save, overwriting the slot where you loaded the 0.14.1beta save.

Perfect, thank you! That did it.

I think it´s the render thing. I have an old laptop, but I ran the previous version (14.1) just fine.

Probably. But mine is 10 year old and v15 still working.
Used that advice

Holy shit for real 5 years, congrats.
Ah 2019 a simpler time before it all went to shit.

I think it´s the render thing. I have an old laptop, but I ran the previous version (14.1) just fine.
This grey screen is on start-up. It gives two options. Quit, or "change setttings/renders" (I can´t quite remember the wording.)
There are a few options, and I think the "angle2" thing, or something similar, is there. But none of them help.
I believe one of the previous comments mention dissabling a forced switch in renders, somewhere in the config files. But I´m really not good at doing that sort of thing myself.

(Really, I just need a better PC, but they´re expensive...)

I've solved it, The dev forced angle2 by default and can't be changed unless you decompress the files and edit manualy one of the main scripts, can't tell which one (I already deleted it after playing it) but it's very well commented, says something like "force angle2" it's at the very begining of the script

Can't seem to play this game update, maybe my video card is too old but doesn't seem to happen with many other games, like micock manor, no idea what could be wrong, I tryed with both renderers and deleting persistent, any help or suggestion?
Nevermind, seems the dev forced angle2 renderer in order to avoid a bug and caused a mayor bug making the game unplayable for old PC's
Unpacked the scripts using unren and commented the line that caused the bug, problem solved

Heed my words, brethren, the Headmaster will change us all in the end, for better or worse. Hope with all this overwhelming knowledge i'll be able to extend the average lifespan of my RL relationships to at least a month! (suspect a headmaster-sized tool may help immensely with that too, unfortunately i'm far from having the means to prove that theory)

Wow. 5 years of development. Grats to the devs for continuing this project and can't wait to see its conclusion.

maid for pleasure - #10 - how do i enlist nurse kate for help?

Try doing the following. I also got stuck that the scene where the nurse does a lecture never happened (and that made several other quests get stuck too), it fixed when I did it.

These are part of the same issue. There was a bug in the last version which meant if you exited an email too soon with the computer power button you get stuck in a loop and none of the morning events would play. It's fixed in the public version which I just uploaded to itch.io/headmaster. Alternatively you can fix it in your console. Press shift and o, then type:

cass_smile2 = True

Press escape and return to the game. It should get you out of the loop and allow you to progress the following morning.

Yes, but remember to include an English translation if you don't want your posts to be deleted.

Help. How do I summon Priti to my office for the "Reluctant Rebel (1)"? I attached screenshots I see when I try to open my phone, as well as what my quest log looks like.
