Hmm. I just tested it in the main build and dist. build, both properly align her to the bottom. Maybe try a fresh install of v0.3?

Just a heads up. I did a clean install, and it resolved the Rings issue and the eternal Jenga "issue," HOWEVER, the image in the shower, still offset as in the picture I sent you. I will keep digging, playing, maybe move to a whole separate computer and see if I can get more to the bottom of it. In the meantime, nothing new except for the "Images missing" comments, which I will leave out unless it is something like the Back alley menu image where it shows the filename as missing inside the actual game, not just "there is no picture for this part of the game."

I guess any suggestions will help, even if I don't actually get involved in doing anything about them.
We've already got a post I put together of suggestions that anyone can consider adding to or even working with, although I'm not considering writing any 'new stuff' or extra content - just 'tweaks'

Right - for the first one if I understand you right - then Yes, her iris's are just clones of the original iris shifted down/across & I tried to 'make' them a full iris by cloning other bits of the original eye

For the end one I tried a different approach

No pressure on suggestions, just throwing it out there.

Did I miss a linked file for the anti-cheat patch? I saw code in the post...would I need to do some copy paste that could break things? Let me know.

Also...I was going to download your edits and make edits on top of them, but even though it lists them as .png, when I downloaded them it was a weird filetype I have never worked with. Could I get a zip of the PNGs in case I cannot solve that little issue too?

Honestly, my interpretation what probably happened:
- Gord has vague ideas how to improve BSC.
- They start optimisticly, thinking it shouldn't take too long to improve.
- They notice any change is hard (something silly as fixing the music took something like 3 hours of time divided between me and FoxyTails in research / fixing / testing), and to write a scene you click through in 5 minutes, it takes an hour to write.
- At first they figured they could produce a new version in a month, now they find out it'd take half a year at least.
- They lose interest, but feel bad admitting that they bit off more than they could chew.
- They delete their account as they don't have many posts anyway.

Speaking from experience here: the only way I was able to help FuzzyBunny23 clean up/modularize some of the code in his original RenPy port (that this version is based on) was the fact that COVID was happening and I could devote multiple hours per day going through the code. Trying to make any non-trivial update to this game is a huge project, whether you're attempting an "I can code this better" rewrite or you're just trying to pick up the torch from where it's been dropped.

My original intent was to do a first pass to make it easier for FB23 to focus on writing (and not having to remember 40 different stat combinations and how to check game state), and then while he and others worked on content I would work on a complete overhaul of the code so that story expansion could be done separately from adding/tweaking game mechanics. I feel like I mildly succeeded at the first part (in that FB23 was able to do a couple of decent updates based on the refactored codebase, and then Novilon was able to continue from there)... but that was such an undertaking that afterward I had neither the time nor energy to follow through with the overhaul.

I agree that SWP is taking the approach most likely to succeed -- narrow focus, promise little, deliver when you're ready.

Regarding Cheats, I personally, believe keeping them as they are is best. Leave it to each individual player to decide if they want to cheat or not. I know I do... granted only for the Money & Energy but still I'm a cheater. I'm here for the porn/role play/story not to grind or manage energy.

Your blatant honesty amuses me. If I had to bet, I would bet that you will get your wish. Agree to disagree at the underlying concept level though.

All I can see is her ears being backwards now x.x
I have ruined so many images for myself.
Also I thinks its great that this chat has kinda blown up with some solid teamwork and discussion. Ive been checking in on it regularly for so long and it rarely was updated. Now I think it's grown 10 pages of comments in just the last couple weeks.

 

[Xaverion]

Finally Updated to v0.3.1. I will be switching to maybe releasing new updates on the weekends only. Exception might be made for small bug fixes.

Once again, I wasted way too many hours remaking the game screen.

Fixed some bugs with the Cream sprite not properly being replaced according to the preferences.
Ordering Pizza now actually costs money. Updated the Credits Screen.
Willy Wonka finally returned from his chocolate factory.
Increased maximum hunger to 5
Decreased minimum hunger to -5
Mall, Park, and Movies Activities now decrease hunger bar
Running out of energy outside now have a devastating consequences.

Didn't really tested this update. Might have bugs.

Babysitting Cream REMAKE

Hello, guys. All these discussion about BSC has finally force me to try my hands at remaking BSC. Mostly simplifying some of the codes and making it easier for maintaining. Haven't actually touch much of the actual events though.

I did include some fixes that has been suggested here before. Like constant main music, making sure all activities in the city to actually pass the time, actually closing the mall at 1800 hours and etc. I also changed the default amount of time passed for an event from 2 hours to 30 minutes.

I've also added an option to use the new AI character sprites made by Shadow Word: Porn or stick with the old one in the Preferences. The new sprites do not currently replaces all the old sprites.

I do need some feedbacks and suggestions with what else to do with this "remake". I was thinking of overhauling the stats systems cause I feel like there is way too many stats to keep track of. Not sure. What do you guys think?

PLEASE POST ANY BUGS THAT YOU ENCOUNTER. I WILL FIX THEM IN THE NEXT UPDATE.

*ANDROID (v0.3): MrFluffums's MEGA

*Android port is made by MrFluffums and therefore up to him if he wants to update the port.

EDIT: Updated to v0.3.1

Some items already have a use (ie camera) but I thought stuff like the 'toggle rain' cheat was relevant for having the camera since there's a good chance it WON'T rain during the 7 days, but you could still see the event before time ran out

Does that actually happen? From what I can see in the coding, It will always rain on Day 5 and a 20% chance of rain one of the days between 2 and 6 (exclusing 5) which is randomly determined at NEW GAME.

Think I've come up with a way to extend 7 days to 2 weeks using 1 of the unused items which also include a (small) rewrite of a bit of existing unused content (MochiMochi_2)

Is this still a popular demand? I would've thought changing the default time passing for events from 2 hours to 30 minutes would have been enough. Well, if it is I'll consider adding your code in next update.

I have a question however anyway you can add the Willy Wonka quote back when you get caught that was my favorite part was making yourself lose and you hear Willy say you get nothing you lose

I've re-added Willy back

I noticed you've duped some of the new ones, I assume SWP is either having trouble getting duplicate images but with 'eyes down' or it's just not possible.
I'm no expert in art packages but a little about layers & cloning so attempted a couple of 'eyes down' edits

Opinions anyone ?? .. & yeah I DO know the eyes don't really look right

Could be. I didn't really have any other choice than to just follow with what I got.

Cream dress ok eyes down and cream panty1 angry eyes down seems pretty good I would like to add them in. Though I can't seem to download the pictures. I keep getting error saying unsupported type.

On the other hand, her irises looks like it got cutoff a bit at the top for cream dress sultry eyes down.png. And for cream panty1 curious eyes down.png, I think rather than making an eyes down version, maybe make an eyes up version? Cause she kinda looks like she's already looking downward.

Also, from talking to SWP, they might be planning to replace all the generated AI art as it was "made on obsolete models with obsolete skills."

So any edits to the current AI sprites might become moot in the future.

Just a heads up. I did a clean install, and it resolved the Rings issue and the eternal Jenga "issue," HOWEVER, the image in the shower, still offset as in the picture I sent you. I will keep digging, playing, maybe move to a whole separate computer and see if I can get more to the bottom

Nice. Also, no need to keep looking. I've replaced the original SWP version with yours. so now both are shown in truecenter and there won't be any shifting anymore. Though, I think you need to edit the event cream showering.png a bit because her legs is actually still has a small cutoff. You can see it if you got to the scene and hide the text box. There's no problem with event cream shower surprised.png tho.

Your blatant honesty amuses me. If I had to bet, I would bet that you will get your wish. Agree to disagree at the underlying concept level though.

I'm personally leaning on keeping the status quo. When I used to play BSC I usually get the 1000 energy and constantly set time to morning to see all the events on Day 1. Blasphemous? Probably. Obsessive? Definitely. Fun? Yup.

I am still open to maybe changing it tho. Maybe to lock it behind NG+ or something.

 

[MrFluffums]

Absolutely fantastic Xaverion! Can I only suggest you link your release post in your signature, so it's easier to find back?

Wow thank you I didn't actually think you would add willy back lol

When you sleep why do you only get 150 energy instead of the full 200
