"Issues" is rather vague, isn't it. Please be more specific.

New Mac versions simply won't launch, one of those "opens for a split second and closes" things. Some fellow Mac users have reported the same thing. Its more annoying than anything, runs fine when using the whole Renpy SDK trick, just weird, never had issues with this game before.

Also, while these updates are relatively short, man does it hit the spot.

Looking forward to plowing Liz in front of the entire class. This game has so much room to grow.

Two things might have gone wrong:
  • the app is quarantined by Gatekeeper because it's from an unknown developer (=not from Appstore)
  • the executable inside the app might have lost its execute permission during unzipping
To check quarantine, start Terminal and type "xattr " without the quotes at the prompt and drag the TheHeadmaster app into the Terminal window. Terminal will fill out the path for you. Mind there is a space between the command and said path. Hit enter. If you see com.apple.quarantine in the results, the app is quarantined.
To remove the quarantine, type "xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine " and drag the app again into the window. Again, mind the space between the command and the path. Hit enter. Quarantine should now be removed.

To check the second case, you need to look into the contents of the app: right click on TheHeadmaster app, pick Show package contents. Navigate to /Contents/MacOS/. Inside that folder you'll see a file TheHeadmaster. That file should be a Unix executable. If it's anything else, it has lost its execute permission.
To fix this, start Terminal and type "chmod a+x " without the quotes at the prompt and drag the file inside the Terminal window. Terminal will fill out the path for you. Again mind there is a space between the command and the path. Hit enter. The file should now be executable.

As a general precaution, make a duplicate of the app first before changing its attributes or permissions.

I just found a continuity bug. I managed to get Faye to be in two locations at once due to progress on two different quests at the same time.

I get that it can be super hard to avoid different storylines to conflict like that, but in this case it really does come off as very eye catching.

I downloaded version 16.4 but I don't see any way to go much further except finishing Liz's discipline. I wanted to know if there are other things to unlock or does the 16.4 update not include other scenes? If there are other things to unlock is there anyone who can tell me how to proceed? Thanks

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.

Do anybody know what the difference between 16.4 and 16.4.1 is? I can't find it mentioned anywhere, be it online or in the zip itself.

This is a known issue with Ren'py. Unzipping tool matters and it won't work if a windows user decides to repack a mac zip file. Ren'py's own zip generation works for mac through, even if the release is build on windows.

Bug fixes only. No new content if that's what you're really asking.

Obviously I would expect something published as "bugfix release" to contain 15 new scenes, one for each kB the zip increased in size.

I'm asking if it is known which bug(s) was fixed, which seemed so important to get fixed right away that it justified an additional release.

A couple of crash issues related to the 16.4 content. If you haven't experienced them then you're golden.

Sometimes this game isn't playable. I have to start a new save, and every update the dialogue doesn't save so I have to turn on the skip unread option to catch up, furthermore I run into weird bugs where it says I have an item needed to advance a quest or I have bought something but never got it in the mail the next day. Previously I had a bug where I couldn't advance a girls story because it was too late in the game or some nonsense where it wouldn't flag her events from happening and had to make a new save.
