Roommates BETA! 0.9.6 (25.02.2014)

I noticed that Rakesh has that Bindi on his head in the scheduler activities when he says a line. Usually during the art store activities...

And... that should be the last of Rakesh with a Bindi on his forehead! (I hope...)

Not to clog up the thread to much, but MrEnvy8's reasoning and rules are quite correct.

Of course, one can also see how rules also can change (like in the use of ellipses).

Spoiler:

All of this is a long winded hack way of saying "It's my stylistic choice" Now if you tell Jack: "I'm not buying a single other one of your games until that hack writer stops murdering English", then I'm sure we'll have a talk.

So feel free to keep reporting them, but I'm not going to guarantee I'm going to change all of them.

Nah, I'm perfectly aware of writer's freedom, so there's no way I would ever insist on a change. From the beginning I have also assumed that if something wasn't changed, it was intended, so I ignore it from there on out (and if it happens that I report something twice, it's a lapse of memory on my part).

I am just not always sure about the intention, so that is why I end up reporting the stuff I am uncertain about, just in case it is a typo or something (so feel free to tell me to ignore any specific stuff or to change the way I report them). I hope I didn't offend and apologise if I did!

On a more technical level: I was taught that four elipsis end a sentence. So if a sentence trails off into a full stop, it ends with four dots.

As far as I can remember we were taught to only use 3 dots in an ellipsis, but I have to admit that I took English as a second language (and that was a long time ago), so I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few misses. That's also why I sometimes check up on rules on the internet whenever I am unsure about something. (And that's also part of the reason why I think some slang or regional lingo is sometimes lost on me.)

Anyway, so from this it should be ok if I ignore an ellipsis with 4 dots?

As a side note: Since it was a weekend, I had a lot of free time on my hands, but in the week I'll only be able to play in the evenings (so it might be slower going for me to report anything).

I've read the post by JoanneLakeMichigan and Oniyuri, thanks for the reports. From now on if are only typos/grammar I'll let writer (MrEnvy8) decide what to do.
If you find gameplay bugs let me know (maybe point them out more from the typos otherwise might get lost).

Are you sure it was showing in 0.8.9? because in that version I removed it even in the scheduler image

On the schedule screen, the help text reads "At the end of every day, you'll regain 5 Energy from sleeping." - "5" to "10". Adding the text "(+5 Energy)" to the "Skip It" choice explains things nicely. Also confirmed that the advanced job replacement in the scheduler works (it makes it a lot more convenient!)

Cool, fixed the wrong Energy amount in the help. Glad that the "automatic upgrade" of jobs is working well too!

What are the grades requirements to see the spring break cg romance playing as max with Anne (apart of 150 organization and 100 rational)?

[jack1974]

Anne requires also 80 relationship, giving her the perfect Valentine gift and 500 grades. She's not easy to get

[Maelora]

I kinda wish Anne and Isabella had a happy ending (I'm a happy ending kinda gal), but I guess life could go either way. Anyways, I could always write a personal fanfiction and keep it to myself lol

Joanne, they do have a happy ending! Or at least, they CAN have one!

Spoiler:

It's kinda hidden, but you need 600 points between Spontaneous and Active.

Anne then joins her in Mexico and they both become teachers together.
Izzy's parents tease Anne about her Spanish, so they're basically a married couple at that point.

[MrEnvy8]

At this point I'm considering changing the bad Anne X Isabella ending to just read "YOU MISSED THE HAPPY ENDING, TRY AGAIN."

Also: spoiler tag that business, yo

[Miakoda]

At this point I'm considering changing the bad Anne X Isabella ending to just read "YOU MISSED THE HAPPY ENDING, TRY AGAIN."

But how does one access the ultra-secret chupacabra ending?

More seriously, looks like an official release won't be too far off now

[Maelora]

Ah, sorry about the spoilers, Mr E! <blush>

I think you should just re-write the bad ending so that Izzy murders Anne and writes 'You lose, try again suckers!' on the screen in blood...
