...after error after error after error after error after error after error after error after error...
congrats on your first game. My first advice is too pace yourself. Game developping is a marathon, not a sprint. Find a rythm that suits you and plan around it. We see too many gpromising games never getting finished because something went wrong. It's better to upload a few middle sized version per year than one big version stay in people's mind. 3-4 months between updates is a very good speed if there's enough content. Good luck.

If you plan to make spanking a major element of the game. I'd suggest maybe posting this one to the video games section of animeOTK too.
A really buggy mess (lots of missing images and code, that tries to load an image without the need to). In addition some of the tags don't reflect the current content. There are no RPG elements and no male dom scenes in it. In addition, it's basically a KN with sandbox elements and not more than maybe 30min of gameplay, if you're a slow reader. Add to this, that the last scene is played twice. Not worth for the moment.

Weird. I'm not sure where people got the update from as I haven't released it here yet.

I can only assume the uploaded version has been mixed with an older version. As someone said those errors weren't there earlier. I have been fighting with the framework I've used as much as doing renders and stories.
Do people think I should slim the game down and simplify it, make it as just a kinetic novel with a few branches? Any recommendations of a free easy to use framework of people want to keep the moving around maps aspect etc?

This game is unplayable in it's current state. I played TheStowaway-Beta-0.01-pc and it a couple problems but nothing like this, version TheStowaway-0.02a-pc.
I have attached a .zip fine of the trace backs from the first 10 errors that I encountered.
All these errors occur within minutes of starting the game. The first one occurs right after the MC is named.
All old saves were deleted before starting this version. There was nothing from the previous version that would effect this game. I did not go beyond the first 10 errors because it became far to difficult to move forward at all.
I hope this helps.

Is the release in the OP the same file you released? If so it has a ton of junk in that doesn't need to be there. I'd suggest you look into

.- No reason to include unren, especially if you are including the .rpy files and not packaging them into .rpa's. (Also decomp.cab and other related crap)
- You included all the documentation for NQTR. You shouldn't include their wiki, README.md, etc
- The renpy powershell script in bin is also something I've not seen before, usualy in windows you just run the .exe file so not sure what purpose it serves.
- The console dir seems like a cheat/console enable script, which is a weird thing to include, normally you would just set those options (or they would be set to false and someone would later include the console enable cheat script)
Edit, after playing:
As far as the game itself, it's also a bit rough...
The plot is very sudden and is basically a series of non sequiturs. The whole interrogation scene was the MC spouting a bunch of stuff that we as the player didn't know/never saw, and certainly didn't know was relevant. The nurse in that scene said something about a "satisfying conclusion" 3 times in that scene, nevermind that phrase in general being an AI slop-ism you get when the AI doesn't want to push the scene/plot/smut forward itself.
It's also weird how you use the MC's dialogue with (emotions) prefixed or *actions in asterisks* and such. Typically those would be narration or set apart with stylistic differences...
e.g. Instead of this
Code:
mc "A sudden alert flickers on the screen—a glimmer of red in a sea of green indicators. The warp drive's core stabilization system is malfunctioning."
"Without it, the Ark would be grounded, its inhabitants doomed to share the fate of the Earth they so desperately seek to escape."
mc "Well, well... what have we here?"
"A critical system failure, and only I have the knowledge to fix it. If I play this right, I could turn the tables. It's now or never..."
# MC joins the crew
show ruined_city
mc "With a surge of adrenaline, I realized this might be my chance to leave Earth behind and embark on a new adventure among the stars."
mc "(With renewed determination) Casting aside the doubts that have shadowed me for far too long,"
mc "I sprint towards the gathering emergency crew. Each heartbeat resonates with a mix of dread and excitement."

"A sudden alert flickered on the screen—a glimmer of red in a sea of green indicators. The warp drive's core stabilization system was malfunctioning."
"Without it, the Ark would be grounded, its inhabitants doomed to share the fate of the Earth they so desperately seek to escape."
mc "Well, well... what have we here?"

I am going to take this in the direction of removing the navigation etc and have it as more of a story. So I'll need to redo/rework a lot of the scenes. So it maybe a while until the next release.
