I hope monkeyposter_7 is now going offer mugs like this in his new merch store. Although I think characters from TFMG would be better, but I'm definitely not complaining.
I think it adds nice flavor from the same old, same old. If you don't think pimp it up has ever been uttered by anyone, you've never googled the phrase. It's not a common phrase anymore, but it was once popular, like pwned or on fleek have been a few years back. It's just a slang way of saying, "give the game some style", which would be based on individual preferences . . . thus this correlates to Preferences.Pretty much every Ren'py game has the same main menu: Start, Load, Preferences, etc. So imagine my surprise when I booted this up and wanted to start by turning down the music, only to find that I had to read through all these weirdly named entries to find where the preferences were hidden, and then figure out that the one to click on was "Pimp it Up", which is a phrase nobody I respect has ever uttered. Seriously, what kind of drugs was the dev on when he came up with this?
This shouldn't be an issue. F95 has a save editor (thanks to Last Moment), where you can load a save game and modify variables. I generally don't use this unless there's some problem in a game's code. In this case, here's how I fixed it in my own game.monkeyposter_7
Honestly i would just do it as simply as this (without the duplicate lines i kept to make it super easy to spot my changes)
Still has the minor issue that she will sleep in the office if you ask her whats wrong but don't offer her help, as you never track that. Did a quick test and looked the scene was shown with my change.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
The bigger issue is how you are planning on handling people who already played past this point
Yes, I got all that. But it took me a bit. My first reaction was, "What is this word salad and why is it here?" And while your explanations make sense, they are not the only way to interpret these phrases. My first interpretation of "Shortcuts to Success" was something like a cheat menu (which I suppose doesn't fit this game, but a new player wouldn't necessarily know that).I think it adds nice flavor from the same old, same old.

IMO, it's really not hard to figure out what matches the stale, "standard" Ren'Py counterparts. However, FFR here is what they each mean:
Ultimately, changes made are up to the dev of course, but I think the menu is fine as it is.
- Back to the Saddle: The English phrase would be back in the saddle, but it means going back to something you've done before. Since you've played the game before, it means to go back to playing the game. To do this, you Load a save.
- Pimp it Up: Explained above.
- Memory Lane: This means past experiences you might revisit. In games, this generally is done via a Scene Replay.
- Rewards: The prize you get in games like this are often unlocked photos, in a Gallery.
- The Heroes we Need: People you look to for encouragement and support are referred to as heroes; since donators to developers on Patreon are Supporters, they can loosely be seen as heroes also.
- Shortcuts to Success: Actions performed in Ren'Py are often done via keyboard Controls, which are often shortcuts to another, possibly more standard way of doing the same thing.
- Goodbye: When you leave, you often say goodbye, so this is used to Exit the game.
Sorry for the bad news, but she won't. If you search this thread, you'll see posts about it. I liked her, too, but this game isn't really about her anyway. It's about the MC and Jenna ("My Guest"), thus the name. Audrey's departure was unfortunate, but it's not going to change.What happened to Audrey?! She is best girl imo, why did she get ''killed off''? Kinda lost all intreset in game after that scene on the park bench, really hope she will make a comeback.
Wtf? Wasn't she pregnant? What kind of sense does that make to have us start a serious relationship with her then 2 days later erase her from the game? Almost as dumb as the auto pullout scenes.

Well, thing is she had to be removed. The reason for that is up to speculation, as it has never been explained. I guess it's none of our business anyway. Regarding the story continuity, I think the story was in place, and between updates she had to be written out, so the previous plot was left as it is with somehow fitting the new developments in.Wtf?

Tbh sounds even dumber after you explained it lolWell, thing is she had to be removed. The reason for that is up to speculation, as it has never been explained.

Those scenes are Special Edition / $25 tier only and apparently get shared here once in a blue moon. In short, there is no patch, you can't unlock them, there is nothing to see here. And you're not stupid for asking.anyone know how to unlock the bonus scenes in the gallery? it says special edition only but there's no patch or anything that i can see. unless im stupid
Wasn't she introduced at the very beginning? She was the MC's secretary, after all. At the latest, she would've shown up in episode 2. Her last appearance was in episode 13, the first one in "part 2" of the game.Well, after reading the Patreon page, can anybody answer me a question: Since I was late to the party, which episode was Audrey introduced and which episode did she leave?
Hm, okay, there goes my theory. The dev had a co-worker between episodes 3 and 11. Thought that Audrey may have been his creation.Wasn't she introduced at the very beginning?

I think Aubrey was getting too much spotlight and since Jenna is supposed to be the main girl, the dev decided to cut Aubrey off. That was the first thing that came to my mind when Aubrey broke up with the MC.Hm, okay, there goes my theory. The dev had a co-worker between episodes 3 and 11.
