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

[TonyMurray]

Is there a way to change the student´s ages? I´ve played a long ago and I know there was a way, but I don´t remember how.

Someone made a mod, but I'm not sure if it would only work for the release version listed or if it's upwardly compatible:

Made a little mod for version v0.15.3.1
Changing age, punishment level and stat variables

Presumably, if it can be changed via mod, you could also therefore change it with URM (do a forum search) as well.

I'm 99% certain it replaces the script with a modified one for this to work. Since the script is updated for each release, the mod would be locked in on a specific release. However anybody with the source code could update it presumably without too much hassle. Porting a change like this between versions is however one of the least fun programming tasks I can imagine so it's completely understandable if nobody wants to maintain it. After all it's just a number and not game changing.

Can someone please post new image previews

 

[DarkenedLord]

Can anyone help me out,

I restarted the game from scratch on 15.3.1, did get far before i saw 16.3.2 had dropped so i downloaded and continued from my save.

everything is fine except ruth and it making the whole game stick. Every time i try to visit her in the teachers lounge i get the attached error message. So i cant progress Troublesome Inspector or If a Headmaster Falls in the Woods. Ignored it for a while but now debbie is a prefect and rachel is my pet and the game is really stalling because i cant pass the rule for me to conduct punishments and continue the other quests.

How to patrol the students? I can't find the button

You can only patrol during the day.

How do you fix it? I think I'm stuck.

How do you fix it? I think I'm stuck.

I didn't have my save so I just started a new game, I'm basically back to where I was after just skipping dialogue I've seen, I was just stuck not being able to do any of the quests that require the influence you would've gotten if the prostitute route wasn't bugged, the changelog said it was fixed, but I assume it's just if you make a new game & not an old save, because the prostitute is very early in the game, & missing it you legit cannot progress further because there's no other way to get any

Is there any way to open all the events in the replay?

 

[BigMoisty]

Is there any way to open all the events in the replay?

Yes, there is a button that says not to press it, thats the thing that unlocks all scenes

 

[NadaMucho]

Not a complaint just checking. The last time I played was v0.15.3 public. I downloaded v0.16.3.2 today and was able to load my final save from v0.15.3. However, all the quests still say "work in progress" or "end of story line for this update" or "coming soon".

Is that correct or did I load something wrong? Once again, no shade, just checking my work. Thank you!

After skipping a day I see the developer answered my questions with in game comments. Thank you!

This has become my favourite game of this genre, pretty much finished what is available at this point

What is the development schedule, as in roughly how often are updates released?

Roughly every 4 months? Sometimes a little more often sometimes a little less. Depends on things like writers block and time to animate. The developer actually hired an animator(Part time i think?) to help with some of the scenes. His last update on patreon is copied below, seems to be aiming for end of December or early January. Last update was 2024-09-19 putting him at around the 3 or 3.5 month mark. Not bad for a solo dev with maybe some part time help:


Hey guys,

Just a quick development update this time. As planned, I spent the last month or so mainly focused on writing. To fill in all the gaps from Chapter 2 and to write the Chapter 2 ending, I probably need somewhere around 100,000 words of dialogue. As you can imagine a month isn’t anywhere near enough time to clear that kind of backlog. However, I have made a dent in it and I had time to get some stuff clear in my head. I still plan to release a mini-update (version 0.16.4) sometime around Christmas, which is only a couple of months away. So, it’s already time for me to get back to work with rendering and animations.

My three main priorities for the upcoming mini-update are; Liz’s next punishment (featuring Sally’s new outfit); oral services from Lucy on Saturday morning; and the remaining cafe scenes with the new cafeteria uniform. I’ve already made very good progress with the cafe stuff and with Lucy’s new scene. I think I probably only need another couple of weeks to get those wrapped up. Liz and Sally’s stuff is more complicated, however, I have done most of the storyboarding and I have the draft animations. So, hopefully, that won’t take more than a few weeks to put together. Then, fingers crossed, I might have time to fit a few little extras in the mini-update. There are some bits for Amy and Debbie from the staff training storyline that would be next on my list. I will have to see how I get on though.

I should have enough of the images rendered for the mini-update to put a batch of preview pictures together soon. I will aim to release those in the next week or two.

Sweet thank you very much!

What is the development schedule, as in roughly how often are updates released?

As per the information posted on the Discord channel, the last 5 chapters have all been over 200 days, the average is 227 days (7.5 months). There will be a small update released by the end of December so that will be nice, but otherwise expect 7-8 months between updates going forward.

 

[telgalad]

Ouch, didnt realize it was that infrequent...

 

[Lurker452]

Ouch, didnt realize it was that infrequent...

It is the biggest single negative of this game for me. Especially since several of my favorite girls seem to be low on the priority list.

Great game, but find others to play between updates.

 

[MorbidViews21]

this game has been moving at a snails pace for a while now.

 

[jkj54]

I know there is a "guide" but all that say's is "increase" there levels via punishment so again i am here because i am trying amy last time going on 3 hours can not max all 3.

It seems i still can not find this cia class were everyone went that can pass/enjoy this punishment system because to me it destroys the entire game. I fn hate this mini game garbage.

So what top secret code is there to pass this one? because now i can only use specific ways during specific times of a specific day of a specific angle perhaps my mc should also dance on one foot kiss a monkey butt and spit in a cup first?
