Nicole beta testing thread!

[Risottera]

Ahhh, yes! I have saved in the parts where the game has crashed, if that is what you are referring to. I believe it is in both cases that I have saved. I had a feeling it would be useful and helpful later if I saved in both spots, so I am glad that I did.
If you would like those saves, then shall I find some means in which to send them?

[jack1974]

Yes follow the instructions in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=2971
Thanks, I'm heading to bed now but this will be useful to fix the bug tomorrow morning

[Jackrabbit]

Aaaaah the game is such a troll!

I was getting Kurt's normal end. Which I thought was odd, because both my [Kurt's stat] and clue stat was maxed, but OK. So it's the end of the event, and Nicole says "Are you going to kiss me or what?" and SUDDENLY ERROR SCREEN.



This is just too cruel.

Spoiler:

I have a new thing to report ^^
Shortly after the first date with Kurt, I had enough clue stat to trigger an event near the field about the disappearance of Erin. Kurt was still wearing his dashing tuxedo instead of his football jersey. (And it's a bit odd to have him hit on Chandra after what happened during the date but that's because of how mystery events work I guess...)

Ah, another bug: when shopping online, it is possible to buy something that costs more than you have. That puts you in a minus, and locks you out of all activities (even free ones) with a message 'you do not have enough money for this activity'.

Oct 3rd -
Darren: I see now why you major in law. Using and connecting evidence is a crucial part of the legislature process.
It should be legislative.

Oct 4th - Outside Convenience Store
About ten more minutes pass before I finally catch sign of Ted, wearing that jumpsuit I always make fun of.
How about sight instead?

Oct 10th - Trying to call Jeff
Wow, did he hang up with me?
Wow, did he hang up on me?

Oct 16th - Jeff in Convenience Store
Jeff: I wonder what all these would like dropped on the ground, hmmm!
It doesn't flow but I get the feeling (especially from what comes later) that Jeff is making fun of Ted and stereotyping Ted's background. So, is the format of this sentence on purpose?

Spoiler:

Why is Nicole suddenly topless when she is on the phone with her mother? lol
The description makes it seem like she just flopped on the bed without undressing. Or is she pulling a Madry?

Spoiler:

It's kind of weird getting brief stoic summaries of dateable characters after already meeting and starting to get to know them.
Example: Seeing Ted in the Pharmacy or Jeff walking into Convenience Store

Also, the Convenience Store confrontation is a little awkward if you saw the Pharmacy confrontation between Jeff and Ted.
During the Pharmacy confrontation, Nicole learns about Jeff's nickname, Cowboy, for Ted and Ted also learns that Nicole and Jeff know each other. However, these facts are totally overlooked during the Convenience Store confrontation as if the Pharmacy confrontation never happened which might be how it was written in case the player didn't get the Pharmacy confrontation scene. It's just a little awkward for me because it makes it seem like the insight the player gained from the Pharmacy scene was regressed by the inconsistency in the Convenience Store scene like Nicole not understanding 'Cowboy' or Ted being shocked that Nicole and Jeff knew each other. But, it works well if the player didn't see the Pharmacy scene between Jeff and Ted.

Argh ! Life so cruel
Got the same bug with Kurt route, i clicked on ignore a few times and the game did continue but

Spoiler:

the CG for the romance and the fight were all missing.
I also got the normal ending before the "kiss bug" but after that scene and before the kidnaping I got the special ending screen unlocked

[Risottera]

Okay, okay, I have one last little error I wish to report for now. I need to sleep and following that is a long length of classes before I can attempt to go through the game again. For now, I unlocked Darren's normal ending, however, I was hit with this error in the middle of the event. I will be placing the information from the traceback underneath spoilers due to the length.

Spoiler:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Hope this helps. I will let you know later if I find any more errors.

Spoiler:

Is it possible to have to have 2 of every item in the online store? That way you can both give (to the proper dateable character) and consume.

Visiting Ted's apartment for block party brainstorm -
Ted sits on the cough, perpendicular to me.
Ted sits on the couch, perpendicular to me.

Disco night w/ Ted -
Wouldn't it be better for the night to automatically end after this event instead of giving the player another action opportunity?

[HollowVesta]

Okay so I just finished the Jeff special/normal ending and there are a lot errors with the ending. Are the pictures in the game yet? because all of the picture in Jeff's ending were not there, the game said that the pictures were not found. There was also a error in Jeff's normal ending that I will post tomorrow. But there is a outfit error I believe when you bump into Kurt to ask him about the track girl that went missing. It says that you bump into his number 9 jersey but he is wearing his normal wear. There is a grammar error in the Jeff and Ted convenience scene, when Jeff walks in he says "I wonder what all these would like dropped on the ground, hmm!" It should read "I wonder what all these would look like if dropped on the ground, hmmm!"

Thank you! :D
