I think the whole ideia of doing the beta testing by routes is actually pretty good and a lot more manageable; everything sounds like a great idea! As for the open beta, it’s entirely up to you; I wouldn’t mind either way 
Thanks a lot for the update, stay safe and keep up the good work; you really got something amazing here!

Hey, choicescript wizards 
I’m having a bit of a technical issue on my stats page. It may be a visual bug or glitch?
I have 5 opposed pairs listed and for some reason, the final set always does what you see below. The stat to the righthand side of the last line…disappears? It’s still tracking the value, but in this case, the word “Suspicious” isn’t showing up. I’m not getting any error messages during testing, so it’s functioning.
It seems to be an almost identical issue to the one discussed in this thread: here But either I’m doing something wrong (most likely) or these solutions didn’t work for me. Apologies for posting on a similar issue!
(I have no idea why I still can’t seem to upload screenshots, or ‘embed media’ in posts) Bear with me, but it essentially looks like this on the stats screen in-game with the appropriate red and blue bars:
Personality Traits
Empathy 49% / Cynicism 51%
Sincere 53% / Sarcastic 47%
Contemplative 49% / Intrepid 51%
Warm 52% / Aloof 48%
Trusting 45% / 55%
See, that last variable (55% here) isn’t appearing. It’s just reads as the value, no actual word listed on that right most side. It should say “Suspicious 55%.”
The actual code looks like this:
Personality Traits
*stat_chart
opposed_pair Empathy
Cynicism
opposed_pair Sincere
Sarcastic
opposed_pair Contemplative
Intrepid
opposed_pair Warm
Aloof
opposed_pair Suspicious
Trusting
Does anyone know what would cause this? Or how to better implement the solutions proposed in the above thread from Apr '19? Any advice is appreciated!
(also I still need to change Empathy/Cynical to their adj forms to match the others, so ignore the miss-match for just a little while longer 
)
EDIT: Problem Solved! Thank you @Meira_Litch and @Sylveranty. Actual wizards.

So I have no idea about coding, but I did send this to a friend that it’s actually great at it. I am assuming she will either message me back (then I will edit here) or she will post here herself lol.
What I can see tho, in the public demo the stats work as you intend them to, and the code doesn’t seem to be any different, would it be possible to upload here the file for choicescript_stats? (For the version you are testing now I mean, or if you don’t want to make it public, perhaps send it on dm?)
Thanks so much for doing that! It’s just a really weird bug(?) overall. I appreciate the help!

Hey, guys.
Just dropping in with a quick holler to let you all know that Chapter Seven has been added to the demo, which is about 100,000 words worth of new content.
The demo itself should be much tidier than the previous one and a much better impression of what the final product will look like.
Thanks

This is awesome news! Ah, how exciting. Just a suggestion, but it might be a good idea to update the update date (wow that’s a mouthful?) in the title? Then more people will click on, check it out and give you feedback. I know that heaps of people enjoyed this title, it’s always recommended on Reddit.

I’m veering between absolute joy and trying to restrain myself with this news! Do I want to wait to read it? Savor it? (NO)
Might not be a bad idea to update the title if you can? Or ping a mod, so that folks that aren’t tracking the thread see that the demo’s updated.

The scene with Quinn was exactly what I needed. Oof. All lanky and awkward and adorable. I’ve really enjoyed seeing the further interactions with Asher too, and the end of the demo is painful. What’s going on? Why is Old Porthecrawl suddenly flaring up? What does the tattooed shitstirrer know?
This town is giving me a bloody headache and the only medication that will help is more chapters 
Anyway, I’m very grateful that you gave us more to read. I hadn’t done the choice of taking the book before and now that I have, I’m even more wary of the resident pirate. Best of luck with your further writing! It’s brilliant. And I can’t wait to sink my claws into more of Quinn’s route — his reactions to a shy MC are so cute

Holy crap you’re killing me. I have all this yearning now! Where am I supposed to put it!?
Freaking Asher, interrupting my Moment with Quinn! JERK. I loved the tension between them and how Quinn turned it on when it was clear my MC was into it. I’m excited to check out other routes. Quinn is my favorite, but Tal is pretty irresistible.
Side note: Q used to have olive skin? Am I imagining that? I’m not criticizing the change, just want to be sure I’m not crazy.

@Lea_Boucher that’s good to hear about reddit! I’m not very active there, so it’s exciting to know people have mentioned the story. Thanks for reminding me about the title. I’m locked out of changing it, it seems? But I’ll ask a mod if they can help me. Also…“tattooed shitstirrer” is the only think I’m going to call Tal from now on Quinn’s route is going to open up very soon, so hopefully that’ll help ease the ache lol
@GamesMaster No, thank you!! 
@furyleika 
bangs gavel No restraint allowed on my thread! You must give in to the yearning. lol. I’m reaching out the mods to help me fix the title issue, as I’m locked out. It definitely needs an update. I’ve got a soft spot for that particular scene with Quinn…they’re sort of feeling the MC out, making sure (hoping, really) it’s not their imagination. But yes, you’re right about the terminology change in regards to Q’s skintone. I was finally able to sit down with a friend who very graciously and patiently explained better ways to describe and incorporate non-white & POC characters. The image in my brain of Q and the verbiage weren’t matching and she helped me a lot when I told her I didn’t know if certain words were alright to use. I owe her about a year’s worth of iced coffee now

All of my save slots indicate error. Is this just me?
I just double checked the new link for the demo and the save slots are all normal on my side. Are you trying to load a previous save from before the update? If so that might be the issue. Otherwise I’m all out of ideas unfortunately

Nope. When it first loads, all slots ask if sm plugin is installed.
Playing on my phone, tried restarting, but same issue.
Thanks for the quick response.

I also meant to say DAMN. The deets on the roots of the conflict between Quinn and Staci are rough. That is not what I was expecting at all. I have super mixed feelings about it.
Didn’t expect an update to this so super happy! Its one of my favorite WIPs! Can’t wait to interact more with beloved Quinn

I’m trying to play the last chapter, but I can’t get past the choice where to go after the library scene.
I have infinite loading screen, and I wasn’t sure if it’s a me problem?
