[Macari]

is it actually possible to cheat now, cos if it is I can't figure it out

 

[davemanster]

You should be able to combine them, just make sure you don't have duplicates of the girl_config or mother_config files. After that pretty much everything can be combined as long as they dont have the same name/are in the same folder.

What i've been doing is installing one mod, then looking through the folders of the second and copy+pasting the stuff I want in the game.

If you copy them all, it should be pretty verbose which mod is causing the errors. That may be faster than doing it one by one if you have a lot.

The cheats are for the backers, but you can find it pretty easy in the code. The dev posted them a few pages back also. Good guy dev lol

There are supposed to be some new girls in the latest update but i cannot seem to have them appear in my game. Is there any trick to generating them?

 

[BolHeX]

I see that there are some of the same actresses in the mods. Do i need to avoid combining those mods?

If they are also a base game girl their config will be ignored but their content will be combined.

For mods it will do the same but only load the first config it finds, it is unlikely to combine their content because it checks for file names. I would suggest doing what "uncool_guy" said for those.

BolHeX just an "inconvenient" bug - even fully corrupted whore mothers never get the Cum Slut trait over several in-game weeks - just the Anal trait, quite strange... since it works flawlessly with their daughters

I will look into it, sex interactions might not be adding to the counter.
EDIT: It seems to be working fine, it requires 10 "cum" actions so it might be a bit harder to get for mothers, I also noticed "cum in panties" actions not counting so I added those for girls and mothers.

Very strange, it has been reported before I have no idea what is causing it though. I don't believe renpy has a NSFW check(any my game doesn't either).

They are

You must be registered to see the links

to avoid increasing file size and users needing to redownload them each update. You would just need to extract these to your main folder(where the game exe and "game" folder) are.

Is their a guide for this? not sure if were supposed to keep them from completing the exams, or if we are. only thing i can figure out so far is not to let tolerance go to low, not sure how other things work just yet either

There is a tutorial for the exams if you have the tutorials enabled. Basically you want them to not finish but if you want to avoid their mother complaining you want to try keep them in class.

The balance for this is still pretty out of wack and could use some tweaking. The exam gameplay is also changing soon so this is likely changing in the future.

If they complete their exams, they will automatically pass. They will not be part of the class anymore. If number of students goes below 3 its a game over. So you don't want to pass them either. Just have them edge but not finish .
Do have some of them pass eventually so that you can unlock the alumini and teaching assistant upgrades. They will not appear in class, but still be available at home call and photoshoots.

As others have said, the basic goal is to not let them pass for a while... until it is time to let them pass. The longer version:

So your basic goal during an exam is generally to make sure they don't get enough answers right, don't rat you out, and don't flee the class (as having all three in the class at the end of the exam gets you rep, which helps your ability to pass new rules). And your actions during the exam can also help alter the girls's stats.

A few more general thoughts:

Minor text bug:
When talking to a mother on the phone, you'll say "Hello, mothername. Nice to talk to your again." "Your" should be "you". And she'll respond with "Likewise". Missing the period at the end of her sentence.

 

[Neoptolemos]

I've taken the Forced Outerless rule and this rule shows in the PC Rules Overview (Academy Rules) to have a $50 weekly gain however in the PC Academy Budget is shows up as a $50 weekly loss.

 

[BolHeX]

1) As mentioned above, the Free-Use Compliance stat is visible during testing, but not on the Student Overview on the computer. It probably should be.

It is visible if you hover the "pass" button but you are right it should be more front and center.

2) Sponsor requests could stand to be streamlined a lot. Right now, it plays out like this:
- phone beeps
- contact sees you have sent a response to X request.
- you saying it hopes it meets their standards
- them saying they'll see
- them saying yup or nay
- them checking with higher ups
- ...
- them saying if the higher ups approve
- them saying they'll send the money
- you thanking them for their time
That's 10 clicks, in addition to the actions you take to select the photos/panties/escorts. And you have to go through that EVERY SINGLE TIME. And at the start of the week, when all the sponsors reset, you can have up to 5 requests from a sponsor. That's 50 clicks per sponsor, and I can currently have 8 of them, which would be 400 clicks to get through all that dialogue. And even on an ordinary day, potentially 80 clicks.

It'd be nice, after the initial time or perhaps once you have reached the second stage with the sponsor, if they just sent a single text (so no beep-beep-beep), that gives a single line of feedback of approved/not-approved, $100 transferred, plus X $bonus. One click for us and done.

100% agreed, I have wanted to do this for a while. Mostly vestigial dialogue that would rather just be a quick "accepted" or "rejected" messaged.

3) On film shoots and sponsorships: Sponsors probably shouldn't request those until they've reached a certain level. This would help mitigate sponsors asking for them early on in the game, when the player likely hasn't unlocked the option to even make videos, and add an extra something to building your relationship with the sponsor. Alternately, they should only ask for them after you've unlocked the video club option.

They do require the videoshoot rule to be unlocked(1 was bugged but fixed in 0.307f or 0.307g), but if it was limited contract level as well it would give some more growth to the sponsor system.

4) When visiting a mother and you find her masturbating, your options are to interrupt and confront, watch and enjoy, and leave and come back later. The second option leads to you making your presence known and some sex options. No choice to have watched, wait until she's finished, then come in as if nothing had happened. The third option leads to going home or your school office. No choice to wait and enter the home again as if nothing had happened. Due to those lack of options, there's no way to get the normal home visit that day.

And as an added note to that third choice of just buggering off, this also means you called the mother, they knew you were coming, and then you never showed up. Probably should be some sort of ramifaction for that.

Another thing that I noticed and annoyed me, I want to change the "come back later" to you just waiting and knocking on the door "skipping" the event.

Thanks for all the feedback, and motivation to actually fix the things I know aren't in a good state right now

Fixed thanks, for the report.

I've taken the Forced Outerless rule and this rule shows in the PC Rules Overview (Academy Rules) to have a $50 weekly gain however in the PC Academy Budget is shows up as a $50 weekly loss.

Fixed, good catch. Will be in the next hotfix.

I really I wish I knew the cause, a few people have reported this and it seems to be a generic python/renpy error. I have absolutely NO idea what is doing it I am afraid.

 

[XulOnTuesday]

Is it just me, or do clothing rules not work with hotfix 0.307g? It shows as enabled on the computer and everything, but students in class aren't respecting the rules and are not getting dinged for it. It was working fine for hotfix 0.307b.

Yup, they got broken when I added another check to them. They also had another problem which I fixed as well. I will be posting a 0.307h hotfix momentarily.

To be clear the rule break fixes will only take effect when outfits are generated again, so the next day.

Base on the code, it looks like it had to do with window path. I move the game one folder level upward and it works now

So playing the most recent update, the decision to make this a game focused on management, with the school stuff, brought some stuff to mind.

1. I may just be playing poorly or something, but the school infrastructure improvements exposed how it feels weirdly difficult to make money in this game. I bring this up because it feels like the amount you earn versus the amount you're expected to spend on stuff like new classrooms just isn't balanced right.

2. This seems to be heading in the direction of becoming like Ashford Academy, which isn't bad, but that game had its issues which are worth keeping in mind here including...

3. An event driven and reactive game requires a ton of stuff, both in writing and art terms. I bring that up because I sometimes wonder if what screwed over Ashford Academy, and Ashford Academy Redux for that matter, was the sheer scale of the project just crushed any drive the developers had to finish, although I could easily be wrong.

Anyway, you seem to have a solid idea of where you're going, and I wish you the best of luck.

It is one of those issues with these types of sandbox/trainer games. Early on, money is tight, as you need to manage improvements and corruption. Part of it is because players want to "progress", so push forward, forward, forward, even if they shouldn't yet. And this can be hampered by not knowing the mechanics well enough, not being directed enough. Then later, it becomes trivial and a none factor, as players have a large stable of girls and various flows of income, meaning income outstrips expenditures.

As to my thoughts on it in this game:
