haha…I like the bug reports, not the bugs.

I’ve probably mentioned this before but I’m a dev myself of 25+ yrs.

To this day I prefer plain C and generally try to never go above C++, even dabbling in Assembler when sanity permits…I still cringe at the horror of Turbo C++ 3.0 Interrupts that didn’t just crash the program you were working on–they crashed the programming language (TC++) as well lmao. I truly feel your pain.

I also enjoy the humor, my all time favorite creation from back in those days was a 16-Bit Binary/Octal Mouse Pointer that was a Middle Finger 🖕 instead of a hyperlink style pointer I made for a mini OS I was trying to make hahaha.

From what I gather talking to the few devs I do around here that use ren’py…its such a high level language that it sometimes goes retarded on you when you make changes that affect anything in past save games as well because it has a memory of sorts. An issue you have avoided completely, at least since I found this game.

I could never deal with that type of programming any more than most people could deal with the horrible debuggers for low-level coding, such as C/C++ where a missing } or a +1 in a for/next or loop through a array can cause you to dig through mass amounts of code and still leave you guessing where the actual error is lol.

I also have HS/HS2 and Kotaitsu (idk if I spelled that right) and can’t draw (edit, shape, whatever you consider it) to save my life, so I appreciate all the hard work much more than most users.

I have been trying to create one character based on pictures in HS/HS2 since I got them a few years back and still can’t get the features right on her after so long (you take requests? lmao)

So ya, I like the bug ‘reports’ and the fact you make them funny on the user end rather than the same old gripe…but I know first had its no fun when it happens :p

Its probably why I appreciate the lack of ‘forced’ payment so much as well, i generally left all my programs commented thoroughly and as open source back when I was able to do so, that way people could learn from them…rather than just trying to make a buck.

Like I said, much respect.
