The save function is broken is it possible to fix it?

I can look into it, sure.

EDIT: Fixed! I commented out the sm_init command to make sure Quicktest passed, and I forgot to un-comment it when I uploaded a new startup.txt.

Found an error

I’m not seeing an error in that photo.

I’m dumb sorry

Ah shit. I know what happened. I changed the first chapter around a bit and I modified that variable to be a bit more simplistic. Guess you guys are getting the updated version early lmfao. One second please…

EDIT: … and done! I changed around the first two chapters because sending Adrian away and making the conversations in Chapter 2 optional allowed you all to miss huge chunks of the storyline by the time we got to the third chapter. These updates should help make those more cohesive because you can’t miss the majority of them.

Does that mean I have to talk to Jordan?

Yesssss, it’s important for the story. But you can still be mean to him. :stuck_out_tongue:

I got an error checking the notes for 9 pm


Ah yes. Already sowing the seeds…

Oh yeah, that’s another thing I changed lol. There aren’t notes anymore. The memory mechanic is getting reworked in favor of something more interesting. EDIT: You can go ahead and reload if you want to remove the notes section from the stats screen.

I’m happy to announce that I just finished the JSIS, which means Chapter 3 is officially halfway done! I’m definitely going to revisit that scene and a few others to see if I can expand the scene (it’s rather short due to the high number of determinant choices that rely on information from other scenes). The first five scenes are all functional and pass Quicktest and Randomtest, which is basically what I’m hoping for.

Total word count: 76k
Chapter 3 word count: 37k

Up next, it’s the scene where you can resolve tensions between Olivia and Madison! This scene’s gonna be fun because you can make smores! :smiley:

The Olivia/Madison scene (which I incorrectly mentioned in the previous post as the Olivia/Jordan) scene) is finished! Here’s some smores-filled goodness.

Total word count: 78k
Chapter 3 word count: 40k (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!)

Thought you all might like this little tidbit: I currently have 48 permanent variables and 55 temporary variables between all scene files, with more to be added for all the scenes. Yeah, I know, I’m absolutely insane. Writing is going to be slow next week because I’m flying out to my mom’s wedding! After that, writing should pick back up as normal barring any major life changes.
