v0.4.0 Release!

Once her score is up to a certain point (30 I think, don't quote me on it) you should be able to chat with her at the lab at night.

Vren

Keeps bugging for me. At this point I'm getting killed by resistance so I should probably rethink my approach. But I'll probably wait 0.4.1 to give me more chance of success :D Keep up the great work.

So it is blind luck since talking to Nora at night is hit or miss. I've gotten her phone # but no recipe for Purple.

Not your fault, there's a bug that's causing problems when you talk to Nora and try to find out more about the serums (which is what leads to unlocking the purple serum). If you've managed to talk to her about that already, you'll need Stephanie's help in the lab, three doses of blue serum, and one unit of serum supplies.

Vren

Hey, there's probably a huge "dummy" factor on my behalf, but I couldn't figure how to make the purple serum...

megaera

I'm getting that too

Sam Stern

Do you know how to help ?

Hi, i'm having a problem here, when i ask for the new serum, there is an error saying that nora_slut_score is not defined.

The easiest way is probably to private message me on LoK and add it as an attachment.

Vren

Ah, the real problem is there was an incorrect variable name used there. I've found the problem and fixed it, it'll be fixed up in v0.4.1 in a few days.

Vren

Red serum now requires 3 blue serum to make, in addition to extra supplies and Stephanie's help. It's certainly harder to make now, but it's also much less important to get than it was in previous versions.

Vren

I started to write out an explanation, but realized it would be fairly long and other people might be curious as well, so I've made this into it's own post. Read that if you're interested in the details. Long story short Renpy's rollback doesn't play well with object oriented programming, so I had to put in some blocks where you can't go back to keep everything from breaking.

Vren

Did you happen to catch what line number was causing a problem? I'll look into it and see what I can find.

Vren

Hang out with Nora at night once you've gotten her score up a bit, and you should be able to ask for access to more research information.

Vren

Middle mouse button should hide the hud as well, but I'll look into lowering it a little if it's a common complaint.

Vren

Fixed, thanks for the catch.

Vren

also the balance seem off with resistance and influence if you switch off one serum but it seems ineffective.

Jonathan Heard

can't get purple either

Jonathan Heard

Quick fix it yourself: 1. close the game

That I have been but I am not 100% certain how to get purple now. I am not sure I am doing something that makes me miss it.

The beauty about renpy is the ability to abuse save files. Quick save during the evening and keep loading until you get the scenes you want.

I tried chatting with Nora, searching the labs once a week,Inviting nora home with and without sex, Early morning talks with Steph. Nothing!!!Moms nightstand needs to be less random and more often. Same with Lily being thirsty. I got both the first day B4 i could even make serum. and got lily again on day 116. never got mom again. So basically had to raise mom watching tv so resistance went through the roof.

How do you get purple serum now? I got red easily enough but I am not sure about purple

Bob Bryan

any way to change the transparency or size of the text box? As it is it tends to block a good chunk of most scenes. Good work otherwise.

Enjoyable. Since its a tad harder to get raises. I wouldn't mind see for random events that every 30 days u get a permanent increase for events to haven't with lily, nora and mom. Help with studies and the movie theater are just bleh to get lol. Also make it that lily is at the party steph goes to to make it interesting. Get high enough with nora and get more money each week? So more trips to the tennis court and help fund the house lol.

That UI needs a darker font on the graph paper background - the save file text is really hard to see. Asalo on the quick menu, the font is thin and kind of grey making it hard to make out. I do love the new UI though, looks very nice.

The combination to make red serum is tricky. Vren you Devil ;) The back button does no work like version 3 is it a Bug or do you not want us to back out of a poor choice?

Threetees

Same here I just skipped past it. However I searched the lab and opened files to make red serum but Steph early morning dialog does not show red serum. If it is going to be random then you need to make it more than 120 days.

Threetees

When I went later at night to talk to Nora it crashed.

How can I get you a spell checked version of the release? Is there a place to upload rpy files?

Hey there may be an error in the code; elf.temp_resist_modifier = 1.5 NameError: global name 'elf' is not defined; you're missing the s.
