VN Ren'Py Veritas Exposita [v0.8.6 Hotfix B] [FPInteractive]

Very nice so far. I like the asides showing Ali's personality. It took until partway through for me to realize I could click on red text. The prologue's the right length, and with three more chapters you should be able to build anticipation without drawing things out too much.

Thank you for the feedback!

Question! I originally had a mini "tutorial" at the beginning of the game. "You can click this." "Post it notes are Ali's immediate thoughts." "Notebook entries are reflections of her future self." But it felt so dry. Like I was playing Final Fantasy 7 again and just trying to click through the level up tutorial.

Do you think it would benefit the game for me to add something quick in there? Maybe just "hey, you can click these"?

Nevermind. I figured how I want to do it. Thanks for you input. It helped me figure it out.

Found two text glitches early in 0.8.6 hotfix.

First, the text didn't get removed/moved for the "19 year old Journalist major, Ali Taylor, poses in Leo's private studio" and it's overwritten by "Britney dangles an "opportunity" in front of Ali".

Second, I chose a custom-named character (Alexis and Lexi for short) and it is not reflected in the text. It keeps using Ali. But it does reflect on the right text.

Also, as new text is added, in this case I agreed with Britney 'Maybe you're right", it continues to not display correctly and also uses the default name.

Thank you. These should actually be fixed as of 0.8.6.b, but I didn’t report the update to the mods yet because I’m waiting for more reports on discord before I commit to that.

Hmm, quick question: the option to pick custom first name/nickname for your MC seems to be gone in the 0.8.6.b



Is this intentional change, or a bug that slipped in..?

edit: nevermind, the option now shows up a bit later, once the photo-session starts.

edit 2: small error though, in Scene 2:

        "\"I wanted to ask about the trip...\"" if len(e0s2_Set3) == 2:
//...
            "[ia]Did he seriously just hang up on me?"
            $ e0s2_Col("argument")

Should be setting that variable to "frustrated" instead. "Argument" flags the conversation as ended by MC, not her dad.
