Roommates BETA! 0.9.6 (25.02.2014)

[annyo84]

Before i start the game again, now that i know how to look for the stats, could you tell me if the grades i have are also a requirement to get a certain ending or if i just can forget about them in certain playhtroughs (like when i'm trying to romance Max for example).

Thanks for the other reports, will check them.

I can't unlock Dominic's ending with Anne. There seems to be a bug during spring break when you "try to catch up with him" ... I get two lines of Anne looking for him then it fades to black and spring break is suddenly over without any Dominic scene.
And the 'automatic Dominic' scene on tuesday - week 18 doesn't work for me.

Well that ending can be reached (other users confirmed it works, one even sent me a savegame). So if you don't get the spring break means you don't have enough stats. The fact that you don't get a line though is a bug indeed, you should get this line:
"Try as I might though, I can't spot Dominic. He must have gone too far away. I sigh disappointedly, and just head back to the beach house."
but before that there's a simple check for relationship >=80 and the right stats ("Rational","Organized") so I'm 100% sure that you don't have the right stats or relationship.

Before i start the game again, now that i know how to look for the stats, could you tell me if the grades i have are also a requirement to get a certain ending or if i just can forget about them in certain playhtroughs (like when i'm trying to romance Max for example).

As far as I can remember (going by memory, is late here) grades are required only for Anne playing as Max, but apart that they influence some lines in the ending texts, but not the romances outcome.

Got another few tipos:

anne x isabella
week 16, saturday event: Isabella runs moves her hand (runs or moves is too much)
week 17, wednesday event: how (without 's) are you doing?
week 21, thursday shower event: the water on my head feels fantastic,
week 21, friday event: as long as I was here though

CG is now functional

which impact do grades have? There is no explanation anywhere in the Game and you are always doing good, although you learn as little as possible

Having the same issue as Katicflis. Having a similar issue with Isabella as Anne, except that I actually get to hang with her for spring break, but I never get the week 18 event and I don't end up with her, even at 100%.

[annyo84]

I noticed that whenever there is an event that day, even if you decide not to play it, it will make us skip all the rest of the things planned for that day. Is that supposed to happen?

[nightshadengale]

-I downloaded 8.2, but I'm still getting the bug where Sally's date during week 12 automatically skips. I assume it's an issue with my savegame--how far back do I need to replay for it to work?

I have in the code:

Code: Select all

            if test=="week12_sat":
                if male and maxandsally<3:
                    $forcedskip=True

so you need the maxandsally variable to 3.

Spoiler:

On week10_tue you get 1 when you agree with her to make Isabella jealous. Then, pick the option "Tell Sally you think you'd rather focus on her than Isabella", but you MUST have relationship of at least 45 to pick that option. Lastly on Valentine's day, pick the option "Try to find Sally" and if you picked the best gift, and you invited her during Winter Break, and relationship is at least 65, you'll finally get maxandsally = 3. So yeah not really easy

I did all that--looks like it was due to the other skipping bug you just fixed in 0.8.4. It's working now.

Significant Bugs
I'm seeing some weird behavior where sometimes the activities don't give you the stat increases they're supposed to. Sometimes studying was raising my grades by +18 or so, and I couldn't figure out why I kept running out of money unexpectedly until I noticed going to the pub Sunday afternoon was subtracting 30 dollars instead of 15.

Still getting the issue where it skips the flavor text for part of the day. Studying seems to trigger it frequently, especially on Sunday afternoon. Rolling in bed on Sunday morning also skips regularly.


More typos/minor bugs:

Week 12 Saturday, Sally date: "Seriously, it cause a big fuss on my social security card"

Week 17 Wednesday w/ Sally- "So what got you so involved in this political activism stuff." -needs question mark

Week 17 Saturday: "Rakesh did paraphrase it pretty well, even if was being a bit sarcastic"
I also had "Image 'pc 2' not found" suddenly appear in the top left of the screen during this scene. Line was "--game/scenes3_edit.rpy 2068"

Week 18 Tuesday Sally - "For a the next few hours we chat"

Week 21 Monday Sally date - "My Poly-sci professor says he'll give me extra credit"
-Max: "How you doing in that class anyway?"
-Max should probably start smiling when it gets to the "I grin" line and he starts joking

Anne's week 21 party--in her band intro, she says "I hope we can support each other and be friend all through college"

Week 21 Friday: Sallys says "I guess the gangs all here!"

[annyo84]

Okay, so. I was able to get Max best ending with 600 for each of his requirements and 800 of grades. I did cheat a bit in the sense that i played in the easy option. The only thing is that when i try to replay the scenes in the gallery there are a lot of errors popping up. If i keep pressing ignore it goes on, but the errors messages appear a lot. Just thought you should know.
Anyway, i really enjoyed Max route. This game is great Good balance of RPG and events.

[Lonestar51]

Well, well, well. I thought I might find something in this path, and sure enough, there it is:

I played Anne as "all study no fun", and skipped each and every event. In Winter Break you could normally choose who to take with you to the parents, but as Anne has no relationship points at all... I cannot choose. So far so good. Then I get this text:
"I call my parents that This is a bug will be coming with me." (emphasis mine) game/scenes1_edit.rpy 11439
In the following scenes "This is a bug" gets greeted by the parents and assigned a bed.

Also: The text of scenes game/scenes1_edit.rpy 11949 and 11954, 11955, 11956, 11965, 11966, 11968 are still shown twice. (return after winter break)

(And I have study 999/999 after the first quarter )

Edit: One more thing: I updated from 0.8.3 to 0.8.4, but the week scheduler looks still the same.

Managed to finish one round, enough to get the Spring Break sequence with Isabella. However, if you then go to the Main Menu, and go to look at Gallery, in the upper left corner, the following flashes:
Image 'i_main' not found.

If you then click on the Spring break image of Anne/Isabella, the following pops up:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "game/about.rpy", line 463, in script
File "renpy/common/000statements.rpy", line 424, in python
Exception: Screen overlay is not known.

"I call my parents that This is a bug will be coming with me." (emphasis mine) game/scenes1_edit.rpy 11439

Haha "this is a bug" is because we didn't expect the player that Anne would never talk with anyone I think in that will add an option "Go alone" then, even if I think will be a very rare case! Or maybe just autoskip that event if you don't have enough relationships with anyone (boo!).

Will do 0.8.5 today with all the fixes and the new scheduler.
