I think there's a bug in the Beryl/Misha quests? bsdmclub.gd (line 642, but that's the disassembled script, no idea if the original is the same) says globals.save_data['bermisquest']==1 , i.e. comparison not assignment, which is a NOP there
(That's from the Linux release, in case that's different from the Windows one)
It looks to me like it should be an assignment and with it start the bermis quest line. Instead it doesn't do that and there's no other trigger for those quests, I think?
The logic in the cafe scene, with how the if tree is constructed, also means that brumini1 == 5 and above never fires (since it always gets into the cafeday >= 12 or >= 14 branches, and never reaches the >= 18 branch).
Also, for some reason, the Beryl feet pic conversation fires multiple times for me, including getting the email (id 33) 4 times now. I don't see why, though, the if condition checks for hasemail, that id is in the correct list and hasemail() looks to do the correct thing too. I must be missing something.
I also have tried to figure out the email duplication thing and I have been unsuccessful. Even building stuff into the email system thats supposed to remove duplicates After theyve been added hasn't worked. Also, thank you so much for the bug report. I've fixed the stuff you said and it will be in the next build. There are only three beryl misha scenes but its crazy they were completely inaccessible in game :o
You can reproduce the email issue though, right? If not, I could see if I can find a save file where it happens for me, with short instructions to trigger it
At this point, if there's no debugger that lets you step through the scripts (I don't know if Godot has that, I don't really know much about how it looks like from a game dev perspective, I just like to see how things work "under the hood"), you could pull out the old "printf-debugging", i.e. adding tons of temporary log messages to see where the code flow is going and what the state of the variables and expressions are at each step. That's tedious, but sometimes the only thing you have available.
Yeah, Godot lets me step through. I still havn't tracked down when or where I get the duplicate email bug to trigger. It was formerly in the email menu itself, but im pretty sure I fixed that iteration of the bug. I certainly wouldn't say no to a save file / deets on your experience with when the bug manifested. Also, enjoy looking under the hood, but I will warn you, Hardcoded has a lot of wack code! I made over the course of like 8 years and started with no programming knowledge. I've learned a lot during development, but there's a lot of stuff that's still in there that is very poorly coded.
Just load it, go to Beryl's apartment and the conversation that adds the mail will pop right up, even though the mail is already on the "read" list. Twice, even.
Also, whack code is fine. We all start somewhere :)
And I spent several years reverse-engineering old 90s point-and-click adventures from an obscure-ish French company. I've already seen all the wackiness out there, you won't be able to top that. :P
Okay, I snooped a bit, and I found out why the hasemail() function doesn't work (though not *why* it doesn't work)
This issue is that the contents of the emailreadlist (and emailunreadlist), i.e. the email ids, are floats. type_string(typeof(globals.save_data['emailreadlist'][0])) is "float", while the type of the parameter id in hasemail is an int. So the Array.has() method won't find it.
I don't know why that is, I don't know how the Godot type system works. I don't see you adding, say, 33.0 or something to the list, so I would have assume it's always an int. But I don't know. Maybe it comes from loading a save?
Going to the computer in your apartment and reading the newly received email makes it int, though.
If you change the if expression in hasemail() to
if save_data['emailreadlist'].has(id) or save_data['emailunreadlist'].has(id) or save_data['emailreadlist'].has(float(id)) or save_data['emailunreadlist'].has(float(id)):
(checking for both int and float, just to be on the save side) then it works, but that's a bit ugly. It's a workaround, I guess?

Sorry for the late reply; it's been...a week.
Here's one of my save files: https://drmccoy.de/zeugs/hardcoded_beryl_mail_bug-savefile0.json
Just load it, go to Beryl's apartment and the conversation that adds the mail will pop right up, even though the mail is already on the "read" list. Twice, even.
Still happens with 1.05 too, I just tried.

oh shit i will check this out
Who is downvoting this comment??? This is the single most helpful bug report I have ever received????
Doesn't seem to want to install through the itch app on linux. Might just need to be wrapped in a .tar.gz archive for it to work correctly
yay!
ITS HERE OMG
is here!!! <3
is there a way to play fullscreen? I can't find an option for that.
I´ve heard that there is rather strong messaging regarding some specific political believes and a weird negativity against man. Is that true ?
What do you mean by this?
I dont know as i said i´ve seen some post that go in that direction.
What direction and what "political beliefs"?
Im curious if this is the same as the Patreon version? :o
This is the version that is replacing the Patreon version
Will Patreon members be able to receive a steam key for early support? Thx
curious about this too ^
If your lifetime support exceeds $10 as of release, you will.

The full game for sale on itch for 17 bucks? No brainer.
I will def buy someday, I loved the demo a long time ago, I can't wait!
so excited! I played an early build / demo years ago and this had totally slipped my mind!!! will be checking it out expeditiously!!!
Looks fantastic, instabuy, is there any chance of a mobile version down the line?
The website said they'll look into it, but it's not guaranteed.
I got a previous build running on Winlater, tho now I have the steam version so I can't test it.
Instabuy - I played demo too much not to buy it immediately to enjoy this amazing game! <3
