VN Ren'Py Hillside [v0.15 First Half] [DarkBlue]

[Penfold Mole]

Btw, I still have a problem with this scene.
View attachment 3636292

Even if you choose all the good options for Charlotte, she is not feeling for MC if he is on other path. Why exactly? A few scenes prior to this, she confessed she has feelings for MC to Lucy then suddenly she changed her mind. Why the inconsistency?

Any thoughts?

It's an alternate text on Lucy's path if mom_choice_04 == False and aunt_choice_03 == 1

Text is different if mom_choice_04 == True and a third option in case neither is True or 1

If you see this text you're not on Charlie's but on Lucy's path or it's a bug. There's no bug in the original script there, but any mod that replaces scripts could be bugged.

Are you using any walkthrough mods?

Wait, there seems to be a bug. I'll be back when I'm sure.

Back again.

I couldn't find any bugs. Apparently there was a bug in ep12.rpy at some point, but not any more. And a piece of code in the beginning of ep13.rpy should fix saved values from the bugged ep12.rpy.

What is the value of your mom_choice_04 ? It should be True on Charlie's path.
aunt_choice_03 should be 0

Can you open Ren'Py console and check these values before that scene?

I don't know anything about the bug but I am on Lucy path there. I am talking about story rather than coding. MC does everything the same as Charlotte path but if you choose Lucy, then Charlotte says this. I don't think it's fitting for the story. She was falling in love with MC and does not make sense when she says this.

At the coffee shop scene, when I am on Lucy path, Charlotte says she is falling for MC and Lucy offers her to vet MC about Charlotte. Maybe that's the buggy part.

I do not use any mods.

did you manage to pass that "recent law exam"?
for the sake of your country/people, whenever it could be, i hope you didnt pass it.

I don't usually respond to such comments but I guess it wont hurt.
TBH I envy presumptuous pricks like you and it is fascinating to me that you can derive a judgment despite not knowing anything about me.
About that "recent law exam", yes I have passed. So, thank you for the best wishes.
I think that everything I said about the game is correct so I really dont understand what could hit so close to home?
BTW yes, english is not my native language and to mock people because of not perfecting language ( whichever one it is ) is just pathetic...
Whatever mate, there is probably a reason that you are a on this thread 24/7 so you probably have it worse than me...
Kind regards

Sorry, I thought you're on Charlie's path

Where did Charlie confess about her feelings to Lucy? On Lucy's path she says that she has no romantic feeling towards him. Sorry I was thinking about another scene further in the game.
I don't remember what happened before the bath scene.

However, I can agree about the absurdity about the choices. If you choose one sister, then the other one automatically stops developing anything more than friendly feelings towards the MC without any conversation between her and the MC or her sister. The sisters seem to be telepathically linked and know about the choices you make about the other sister
Consider it a comical plot hole.

Nothing happened between these scene and bathtub scene but she says she does not feel more for him. So storywise this does not make any sense. She could have acknowledge Lucy's feelings and even though she has feelings for MC, she could prefer Lucy's happiness. This is broken as it is.

Yes, exactly this.

I'm sure with your "recent law exam", professional standards would be really interested in you being on a pirate porn game site for the last six years.

Thanks! My reaction limit got blown again.

I didn't even remember that scene, although I'm sure I played through it.
Maybe DB just forgot about it the same way

hmm, I would be really interested to know whether our Emma expert Joshy92 noticed similar inconsistencies?

I believe the script was well-written up until the

[Milton749]

Hello,
could anyone provide me a save file up to version 14 that has the MC's name not default? I was dumb and I did not change the MC's name and I can't stand it anymore to read every time "Mr. Bodyguard". I'm going insane.
Or does anyone know how to change it, even from the VN's config file? I tried looking inside the python files a bit but I could not find anything.
Thanks in advance

You can use URM. Awesome tool.

 

[Nimrod829]

you could try via console/unren, or you could add a simple custom rpy/script (spoiler bellow):

Thank you all for the precious advice! I found KoGa3's mods

and Universal Ren'Py Mod (URM)

. I tried them both and by far the easiest is URM.
I also tried UnRen, and I de-compiled all the .rpy files with it; then I added the script that Abhai suggested in the relevant "init python" subsection, but it did not change anything. I suppose I should now recompile the .rpy files for the changes to take effect, but I don't know how, and I cannot see that option in the UnRen menu.

Anyway, thank for your replies, since now I'm deep in the rabbit hole of these mods, because I didn't know they could do these amazing things plus other that I dreamed of.
Cheers

The amount of things URM can do is astonishing. You can even change the name of MC even if Dev doesn't give the option. Or any other character or relationship in the AVN. Way to many things to mention. It's worked on every renpy game I've played so far (except 1 that's pretty old) and it gets updated really regularly. I rarely use other mods anymore, and with URM you don't have to wait for them to be updated after each update. It's ready to go.

 

[TheimmortalP]

is the sexual assault avoidable? And if so, can you please tell me how to avoid it?

Also, if anyone's willing to make a logical guess, if you go through a single playthrough once, how many hours will it take? If it helps, I'm a pretty fast reader.

 

[Elduriel]

no, it's part of the origin story of the character(s) involved

 

[Innocent->Devil]

How is the first half of V0.15? Any progress with Charlotte or Emma?

 

[TheimmortalP]

no, it's part of the origin story of the character(s) involved

Damn, how extreme is it, and how how often does SA happen?

as far as I remeber it isn't shown only the characters tell about it. but i left out a few updates of this great story
It is mentioned a few times as we learn the background of one of the girls, and to avoid future asaults the MC is hired.

Alright, I can deal with that a lot better, thanks.

Hoping that someone can still tell me how long this game is.
