Looks like this game is going to be fun. Just found it and downloaded the ep22 (which I'm hoping is the full game up to ep22!!?)
Looking forward to starting soon

You need to be getting the photos of elaine from Bella and you need to be romancing Bella. She sends you some 'extra' pictures. Also at the end of the update she comes to the beach house.

Hello Folks. Newbie here.

Foreword for the Devs: I am usually not into VNs like these too much.

Aside from these weird "Facial Issues" with the Mouths and Lips on some of the Characters (like Monica, Zarah, Katie etc.): Great work. I know that creating realistic Faces and Facial Animations is very hard. And even 3D Animators with Decades of Experience are not automatically Wizards in that Subcategory.

Also, the whole "Detective Story" Part sets it apart from the usual boring "Quick Fap" Stuff.

Anyway:

I have a small Bug Report for the latest Version. But I am not sure if this is a Vanilla Bug or an Issue with the WT Mod from Koga3:
After the Movie Night, I have Jenna and Katie coming into the MC Bed Room after each other to say good night.

When Katie starts coming back after changing into the other Outfit, no matter what I say, she keeps starting doing "things". So far so good.

The Problem is: For whatever unknown Reason, at some point
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Why do I consider this a Bug (Vanilla or WT Mod):
1. I rejected the Romance Path with Monica the very first time I got the option to do so. And also selected "Are you absolutely sure?"
2. Monica knows about me and Katie (but not about Jenna) when Mable mentioned seeing me and Katie earlier together
3. After rejecting Monica at the very first opportunity, I never ever got any romantic Scene with Monica. This worked fine at least.

So Monica should not even be there.

I also tried to sent Katie away when she sits on the MC by choosing "Dont" - but she starts doing things anyway. No Idea if you are not supposed to be able to stop this anyway!?

Skipping the risky Path during Movie Night does not help either - some Variable / Value is messed up.

What I have tried so far by using the Ren'py Save Editor:
1. I have set all Points for Monica to 0
2. I have set every Boolean Value that contains the Word "Monica" to False

No Luck so far.

If anyone knows the Correct Variable(s) I have to change, any hint is appreciated!

Other Infos:
Normal or Quick Start: Normal
Mods: WT Mod from Koga3 (Thank you Koga3 for making the Mod btw!)
Version: Episode 22
Overwritten Files to update from earlier Episodes: No. Full Download of Episode 22

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the report, will take a look, but just an FYI, except for the most basic functions I think the renpy save editor is more likely to break your save than fix anything. We barely use any boolean values as very few of our choices are as simple as true or false. You didn't happen to use the editor prior to that scene in your initial run did you?

Also not sure why you need a save editor when we have a built in quickstart for the game that should be far more effective and less game breaking. :S And the variable in question it will change is $MDate to 0. (But i'd still recommend using the quickstart).

Haha. Yeah seems like it. Maybe Theresa or Zarah could help - they are very lonely as well.

Yes I am fully aware of the Limitations of any kind of Save Editor. Especially when Scripts are involved. And No, I did not modify this Savefile before I started running into this Bug.

BTW: These are the MDate* Values in the unedited Save File. Again, WT Mod from Koga3 in use.
MDateTempBooleanTrue/FalseTrue
MDateBooleanTrue/FalseTrue
MDateTempInteger21474836470
MDateInteger21474836470

I modified the current Save File, which is at the "Choose Risky or Not Risky" Menu during the Movie Night, and set both Boolean MDate Values to False. No Luck. Either
  • I need to Modify a Save File with a much earlier State (maybe before the Movie Night!?)
  • other Values are Borked
  • or it is not a Vanilla Bug but the WT Mod interferes somewhere
Will do more testing during the Weekend. Maybe try a Vanilla Run if I have the Time with a Fresh Start from Zero instead a Quick Start - just to be sure.

If I remember, and find the time, I will also try to create a Quick Start Save File to compare some Values.

Thanks for your answer anyway!

Yeah, the MDate value should be integer only. Also not sure where you picked up an MDateTemp, if it was ever used it wasn't for that scene and our Temps are only used for the duration of an EP generally (almost always, I can only think of one exception offhand).

I took a look at the scene and everything I see on our end looks good.

I managed to stay with a considerable amount of women so far.

Yeah, MC can stay with all the women through the end of Ep22. Although, I had to use "Start any episode" and change the relationship with Lily from "Romancing (Girlfriend)" to "Romancing (Casual Sex)" while having all of the other relationships at their "best" in order to keep all of them.

Didn't know that was possible. I had the MC break up with Katie just because Lily seemed to demand choosing between her and Katie.

Still have to wonder for how long the MC can keep this up
