File "game/Episode15.rpy", line 3, in script call
call ph_changetextboxcb from _call_ph_changetextboxcb
ScriptError: could not find label 'ph_changetextboxcb'.
idk what to do
Looks like the dreaded mod problem. If so you should check in the mod thread.

You can be friendly with Zarah without it turning sexual.
It's the way it's written and of course it's your game...but trying to be nice is often more work than wanted.

When you pick up the keys...pain in the ass. When you go to see her because she wants to talk to you about photoshoot (after her call/text)...4 times IIRC...maybe 5...you have to rebuff her advances while being nice. It's too much imo and really puts you off her character completely. ( or is it the other way around...either or...you get my point heh, unless tell her to fuck off etc, she is just relentless which gets old real fast)

why would he do it?
its much easier to pop-up those game-unrelated errors (i have a problem...) in here, than in a proper mod thread:WeSmart:
one could wonder htf he found the mod at the first place.:KEK:

Ya, generally when you tell a char you're not interested sexually they don't keep trying to seduce the mc, but there are a few exceptions in the game. Especially Zarah since she got 2 makeovers and each time we didn't want people to feel they needed to replay if they liked the changes.

When you update your gallery mod ????
The gallery is actually part of orig source now, but I am working on it for devs so that it is easier for them to add scenes themselves in future by changing it to a menu scene selection rather than complicated multi-screen gallery. so coding wise will be much simpler to implement new scenes. I'm working on that as I speak :D

It's on the list, but not something we wanna slow down finishing the game for.
Understandable. Speaking of the portraits, you should consider rendering multiple expressions for each character to put as their portrait. You could leave the ones now as the "neutral" or "default" portrait, but have ones for the character happy, laughing, sad, angry, surprised, and so on to match their dialogue and their responses to the PC's dialogue choices.

Not had to remind people there is no harem for a while, starting to feel like i'm out of a job.

No one brings it up anymore.

*sigh*

I'll just find a corner and feel sorry for myself.
I mean...technically, by the tag rules, a harem is 3 people having sexual relations with MC at the same time, and them consenting to it.

So...the next episode we have Debbie, Katie and Lily going to the beach house....with MC...and Katie has been teased about sharing MC with them for a while....so what I'm saying is...next episode....HAREM!

And swinging, but mostly harem ;)

Got further in the game. The update to Bella's face is a welcoming one. She looked like a snake-lady in her first appearance. Her portrait still uses the old snake-face, though.

I like this game so far, though. There's some weird dialogue every now and then, but nothing too terrible. Weird how so many European developers make games set in the USA. I guess it's for broader appeal, but it leads to weird dialogue sometime that sounds like an alien interpretation of American customs and terms.

That would be a considerable amount of work for all the characters for relatively marginal improvement of a side feature not everyone uses.

Game isn't set in the USA, or any particular place really. We only try to adhere to British English as it was the standard set by Cheeky. As for customs, we have far more in common across the board than most people think, especially when you compare the UK to the USA. I'm curious what weird American customs you think we were emulating since I'm a USA native and the Co-writer. :)
